Trackers, Trains, and Wagons

Jaxon loves trackers, trains, and wagons, not to mention The Simpsons (Homer, Bart, and the whole family). He says the funnest things and is always keeping us laughing. Expect when he gets mad at me, goes upstairs and poops his pants in his new underware. ( It seems to always be when Todd is at school) I was so mad that I thought about leaving him in it. But he kept saying "Sorry Mom, Sorry Mom, with tears in his eyes) My heart couldn't take it. So he got a time out. I asked if we needed to put a diaper back on him. Again his eyes start to swell up and he says "Sorry Mom, Sorry Mom, Mom Jaxon a big boy. (this kid pulls at your heart all day long. If only he wasn't so darn stinking cute. I might be able to follow through with the time outs and.

Todd and I are starting to get things together for our yard. We currently do not have a front or backyard. I am going to post a picture of the forest, so you all can see the weeds that we have to put up with. I am going crazy with no place for jaxon to play. Don't worry, I'll let you all know when we start. And I'll give you plenty of time to take work off. I know that everyone is jumping for joy to come over and help :) I have been trying to talk todd into just hiring someone to do it. He wants to do it himself. Which I am okay with. But a little scared to see the out come. We put up a fence last year, and two panels fell down in a wind storm. I was the worst wind storm here in a long time. So I guess that two panels is not that bad. It's a good thing that he is not here tonight. He might not have wanted me to tell you about the fence. Oh, well. He and Jaxon are at a father son outing. Todd called to tell me that jaxon is scared of the camp fire because of me. I asked what he was talking about, then I remembered. A couple of Sunday's a go I woke up to the smell of gas (and no it was not todd, which was unusual) todd was at a meeting. I thought that we must have had a gas leak. I took the kids over to the neighbors and called the non-emergency phone # for the fire dept . She said that they would have to send someone out to make sure it was not a true gas leak. I then asked if they would not come with their lights and sirens on( If it wasn't a gas leak i didn't want to look like a freak). The lady on the other end said in a stern voice, Mrs Simpson we do have to follow protocol. Needless to say we had a couple of police cars, two of the big fire trucks, and one of those really old fashion fire trucks ( by the look of it, I was really surprised that it even made it over the train tracks. Guess this is what we get for living in a small town). I'll just say that jaxon freaked out, todd was mad that I made a big deal out of it. And the worst part, It was the snow blower that was leaking gas and oil in the garage. SO now my kid is scared to death of, fire, fire trucks, police, and bugs even flies (this is a another story) All the police and firemen were laughing. Todd of course was not.
And I just wanted my kids to be safe. That isn't so bad. Is it?
Well this is all for tonight. Audrey and I are going to sleep. (I am going to sleep on todds side with the new intell-a-gel. better go before he kids me out.)
