Day 9
They were faster than I was – Plus it was getting dark – plus they were faster than I was. 
Plus I’m working with a P&S peeps. I’m about ready to give up on my new Nikon and go back to my old Nikon. I like it better – possibly because I am comfy with it.
Day 10
Can you read that? Snow! Start of the snow that is piling on us today.

I must not have brought the tickle bug out enough for Nano.
Last night I was changing his diaper and he was kicking and throwing a fit, rolling as I was trying to fasten it. So I started tickle, tickle, tickling his tummy to make him laugh and stay put. Got the diaper on him finally then busted out the tickle bug.
I put my hand up and said, the tickle bug is coming to get you. Tickle tickle tickle!
He completely froze. Then he crawled up in my arms trying to get away from the bug.
I said, Nano, the tickle bug isn’t real. It’s just mommy’s hand. See, tickle bug. Right here.
He moved even closer into my arms.
For real dude, it’s not a real bug. It’s mommy’s fingers.
I promise. There is no bug.
He wouldn’t move. Just sat looking for the bug with wide scared eyes.
I called my mom and we rolled over it for a little bit. Then she said, tell him grandma said that the tickle bug is going away and mama will never get it out again.
Nano, grandma said the tickle bug is going away and will never come back.
He started to relax.
Tickle, tickle, tickle!!!
He froze again.
Mom said I’m horrible.
I kind of am.
Poor kid.
Let’s move on to Jordan.
Does anyone else remember not wanting to zip up their coat in the winter. Raise your hand. raising hand
That bug has hit my oldest child and now I know why it drove my poor mother crazy.
Jordan zip up your coat.
Nope.
Jordan where’s your hat? Put on your hat.
Nope.
Jordan you’re going to freeze and get pneumonia.
I don’t care.
We’re getting like 10 inches of snow today – put on your hat and zip up your coat.
Nope.
If you get pneumonia don’t go begging me to take your butt to the hospital. K?
I won’t.
Do you know how bad I wanted to stick out my tongue and say pbbbblllllttttt.
I’m a mature mommy (if you ignore the first part of this post) and I refrained from doing that. And from physically sitting on my almost 12 year old son to zip up his coat, which then would have been unzipped the minute he walked out the door.
What the heck is wrong with pre-teens and teens? What makes them think that freezing is cooler than actually zipping up their coat?
Standing around – yep, it’s –5 degrees out. Me and my friends are standing out here with purple ears, purple cheeks, and we’re hacking our lungs up from pneumonia. But we look cool!
Tell me you didn’t do that too at that age.
I remember walking a mile home from school during every Iowa winter in high school, coat unzipped. No hat. Possibly no gloves. I was freezing……but I looked cool.
Now I don’t care how cool I look. It’s cold out. Coat zipped up, gloves, stocking cap hair bedamned, I want to be warm. Thanks! (Ok, I honestly don’t wear a stocking cap that often, unless it’s REALLY cold. I have to have some resemblance of a decent appearance when I’m out and about.)
But I’m sure I don’t look as cool as Jordan does standing out at the bus stop minus all of that stuff.
Have a great day!
