Gavin: "And Pop Pop and Uncle Flip (Philip Rosier) and Max (Max Poetschan)!"
Vivian: "And Mommy and Daddy!"
Gavin: "And we gonna eat cake!"

(In unison): "WOOOOW!"

Dear False Labor,
I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You are the scum between my toes!
Love,
Jennie

Ah... the joys of being up in the middle of the night for both a feverish toddler and a nursing baby. They're lucky they're both really cute.

Me: "Gavin, tell Paxton a secret."
Gavin: (leaning down close to Paxton's face) "When you get big, you get on the mower and you drive it!"

Me: "If you're really good at school today, we'll go to a restaurant tonight for dinner!"
Viv: "YAY! I want chocolate... and lemon."
Good to know.

I can't believe it, but the most frustrating, inconsolable, lengthy, mother-of-all emotional breakdowns we have ever experienced in the Rosier house is finally over. It was a long few hours, but Gavin finally pulled through and fell asleep.
We never did figure out what was wrong. I guess it's just tough being three.
June 1
Gav: "Mama, we had chicken at school for lunch!"
Me: "I know. I made it for you."
Gav: "No, my teacher did. It was so yummy. She makes yummy food."
Me: "Gavin, I made that food at home and then sent it with you to school for lunch."
Gav: "No. You not make dat good food. Only my teacher can."
Me: "Gavin, Mommy made that chicken."
Gav: "NOOOOOO!!"
It's proving to be rather difficult to reason with a three-year-old.

Me: "Vivian! How did your pancake end up on the floor?"
Viv: "I dunno, Mommy. It just went crazy."
June 6
it's only 9:30 in the morning and i've already heard over 100 renditions of "old mcdonald" come out of gavin's little mouth. i'm starting to really hate that f-ing song.

Sleep deprivation is the absolute worst part of being a parent.
Sorry kid, but last night put you on my shit list.
June 15
G & V are given a daily "report card" from their "school" that says how they behaved during the day. Yesterday, Gavin's said that he was "outstanding" (which is the highest).
I said, "Gavin, I'm so proud of you. You were OUTSTANDING at school today!"
Gavin replied, "Was I? Are you sure?"
I know, it was hard for me to believe too.
June 16
Me: (While walking into the recently cleaned playroom) "Why did you make this mess?"
Gavin: "Because I like it. It's so BIG! Pwease don't clean it up. I very love it like dis."
June 25
Well, the party was a success. Unfortunately, Mr. Gavin was so excited about his new dump truck, cars, tractor trailer, and various pick up trucks that he woke up several times last night (i.e. at 12:30, 1:45, & 3:00am) screaming in anguish and pleading with us, "Can I play with my dump truck now? PWEASE!" He continued to do this even though we let him sleep with his 2-foot-long tractor trailer. When he woke up this morning (at 5:00am), he demanded that we help him find all of his trucks "right now!" And he became upset when one of them was missing.
His obsession with vehicles is starting to become a tad unhealthy.

Pax: crying, crying, crying, BIG puke
Gavin: (to me) "Oh no! He puke!" (to Pax) "It's okay Pax, everybody pukes. Vivi puke and I puke and Mommy puke and Daddy puke."
June 27
Me: "Gavin, what's your favorite letter?"
Gavin: "Umm... what wetter (letter) Mommy start wif (with)?"
Me: "M."
Gavin: "Den (then) M is my favorite wetter (letter)."
Sometimes, he's sweet.
June 28
Gavin: (to his teacher) "I very love Vivi. I gonna marry her."
Sweet, but also a bit disturbing.
June 29
Vivi: (said very proudly) "Mommy, I got a BIG booger out my nose!"
Me: "Great. Where is it?"
Vivi: "I wipe it on the fridge."
Of course you did.
June 29
Some days, Gavin LIVES in time-out. Today has been one of those days.
Geesh.

Toys at the Park
Gavin got a bulldozer for his birthday and he is abso-freakin-lutely IN LOVE with it. He wants to play with it every single second of every single day. He asks for it every single morning and gives it kisses and hugs every single night.
He. Is. Obsessed.
The other day, we decided to take the kids to the local park. Not surprisingly, Gavin asked to bring his bulldozer. We packed it, his dump truck, and two shovels into the car and off we went. Not only did Gavin and Vivian have a ton of fun digging in and dumping out the mulch at the park, but it also kept them in the shade for the majority of the visit! Bringing these toys to park was brilliant!
Teamwork:
As usual, Pax slept the whole time.
At one point, Vivi and Daddy ventured off on their own in the actual playground.
Gavin stayed in the dirt and played with his trucks the entire time.

And Gavin still with his beloved bulldozer:
Gavin has asked us to bring bulldozer
back to the park every single day since.

And so is Gavin's new bulldozer...

Me: "Gavin, what's your favorite letter?"
Gavin: "Umm... what wetter (letter) Mommy start wif (with)?"
Me: "M."
Gavin: "Den (then) M is my favorite wetter (letter)."
Sometimes, he's sweet.
G & V are 3! ~ The Dino Party!
The invitation:
On Sunday, June 24th, we had the twins' dinosaur-themed (as per their request) third birthday party at our house. We started off the day decorating and cooking and baking and ended it with great conversation, cupcakes (!), and a ton of outside fun outside. First, Gavin and Vivian helped Wes paint some "dinosaur tracks" leading up to the front porch.
We also hung up some streamers and tied a few balloons to the front porch.
Then, we decorated inside and got all of the food and drinks put together. We had all kinds of dino-themed food like "T-Rex Arms" (chicken wings), "Triceratops Eyes" (deviled eggs), "Lava Rocks" (meatballs), and a few others. The food was labeled into sections: "For Carnivores," "For Herbivores," and "For Sweetivores."
The dino-themed goodies bags filled with fruit snacks, a granola bar, sunglasses, a stuffed dinosaur, a little dino figurine, and a few other little goodies.
The living room was decorated with a couple of streamer banners, some balloons on the floor and ceiling, a group of twin photos strung along the fireplace mantle, a few dinosaurs on the mantle, and presents!
A lot of G & V's friends and family came to celebrate
(we had about 30 guests through out the day).

(Aunt Brandy, Me, & Aunt Stephie)
("Littlest Kenny")
There were plenty more guests (see photos below). The big hit of the party was the incredible box castle that Wes, Tony, & Philip built before the party. All of the kids (especially Vivian and Olivia) absolutely loved the castle and played in it most of the day.
(Emme)
Then, it was time for presents! We are so grateful for all of
our generous friends and family- the twins were totally spoiled rotten.
After the mayhem of presents (It was like Christmas morning with tons of gifts and very little attention paid to each one because there were so many to open. G & V just kept going to the next one and the next one and the next one.), we went outside for the obligatory group photo, singing Happy Birthday, and cupcakes!
The rest of the party was spent playing outside and inside with new toys, the box castle, and bubbles.
(Gavin was a little upset a few times about having
to share his new trucks with Vivian and Carter.)
(Uncle Tony helping Vivian with her new dinosaur-bubbler)
We even had dinosaur masks! Another big hit!
Grandma NeeNee, Aunt Sarah, and Dave came near the end of the party and stayed for a while afterwards playing with the twins and all of their new stuff.
Before everyone headed out, we were lucky to get a pic of the five of us (which is great because we hadn't gotten any family shots of all five of us since the hospital)
We all had a GREAT time and can't wait til next year!
