My daughter is smarter than her diaper

Really, she is. I'm not sure how she does it, but she's a genius. She has this awesome ability to pee out of her cloth diaper without peeing IN the diaper. It's a real mystery. I can't tell you how many times she's managed to pee all over her pants and when I take off her diaper its been moved to a strange position and is completely dry. She's also learned how to remove her cloth diapers when she isn't wearing pants. Creative little booger, isn't she? Please don't give me the "that means its time to potty train" speech. A) She is not a dog so we will NOT be potty training, she will be potty LEARNING and B) she isn't ready, trust me. So this morning consisted of me running around the house looking for all of the cloth diapers. For some reason my wonderful husband doesn't feel the diaper hamper serves a purpose. I find them all over the place, EW!!! Anyway I found them all and started my diaper laundry (yay fun ugh.)

I'm not sure if i'll get to the bread or not but we'll see! Look I was nice enough to share some recipes with you! So go on, call out your inner hippy and get to making!

So yesterday was fun. My babies were a whole lot of crazy lol It's always exciting to see the new ways they're planning on making me lose my mind. KamKam was in the mood to just climb. EVERYWHERE. He managed to try to superman off my porch, my counter, my table, my bed, my couches, and Emma's bed(which is luckily on the ground.) Normally I wouldn't care and just say "GO FOR IT!!!" However, he was teaching Emma and Taryn to do this, which is NOT okay. Taryn has already fallen off my porch once, and we got lucky, she just landed right in the crack of the stairs and was stuck dangling but not hurt!! lol. Now my lovely TareBear was 9 kinds of dramatic yesterday. I love her emotional self (she's my junebug junior-just like you Jenny! lol) She just has so many emotions crammed into that tiny body that she has no clue what to do with them. She will cry, scream, laugh, and talk all at the same time. It's quite confusing lol. Miss Emalynn Faye was very needy. I'm not sure what was going on but she just needed cuddles all day, but when I would hold her she would immediately want down. Then five minutes later come back for more cuddles. I think she was just overstimulated by the kids. She doesn't do well with lots of people, she's like mommy :) We tend to get overstimulated then aggressive, I still get stressed and want to punch people when they're too loud and crowding me lol So I don't blame her. Oh Kam was pretty funny yesterday. He has learned to lie, but he's horrible at it (gets that from his daddy lmao.) Here's an example conversation we had:

The kids were playing on Emma's bed in her room when I heard a scream:
Me "Kam what happened to Emma?"
Kam "What you mean?"
Me "Why is she crying? " (while I'm holding her he replies)
Kam " Well Emma was jumping, and pushed herself into the wall"
Me "Kam are you SURE that's what really happened?"
Kam "YES! Her was jumping and pushed herself into the wall!" (he was smiling and so sure of himself that he had outsmarted the evil babysitter who is always making him sit in the "thinking" spot lol)

Oh and for anyone curious how we discipline around here, let me explain:
Strike one - "That's a no no, can you please stop?"
Strike two - "I've already asked you to stop, don't do it again!"
Stike three - "Please go sit in the thinking spot"
 The thinking spot is a tiny hallway by my  bedroom door. They have to sit in it and only have the "cool down" jar to play with (its a home made snow globe sorta thing lol) Taryn is pretty good at it and so is Emma but Kam, not so much. He has succeeded in digging a hole in my wall in the time he's spent there. I swear I don't leave him there for an hour with a screw driver all alone. I simply place him there for 3 min. I usually stand there with him BUT sometimes the girls won't let me. Apparently he has taken advantage of those moments I walk away and used his fingernails (yes i know thats crazy) to dig a hole in my sheet rock!
So we're going to be moving the thinking spot lol

Anyway, Mom will be here soon to take me to the grocery store (yay food!) So I'll sign off with our crunchy tip for the day:
