Meet the girls

Journi and Joelle my J and J duo, which is where Team Dynomyte comes from. I'm not sure if any of you were Good Times fans but I pretty much binge watched it when I was pregnant with my oldest daughter Journi. I became pretty fluent in the terminology that was used back then, so if I throw around Jive turkey Just know that this is where it's coming from.

So let me tell you about my daughters, in order of importance, I kid, I think they are both equally important. Journi who is the oldest and the most active of the two, every time she hears a song she creates a dance to go with it. She's 7 and she also is the most honest child I have ever known, even when it hurts your feelings. Today she told me that I looked better with my nose ring in, because I had lost it for a few days and had to wait a while to get a new one. So I guess up until that point her mom was not cute. But I digress, she also is so affectionate that no matter what I am doing she has to be right next to me attached to my hip and if I tell her to give me space her reason is always " but I love you." Because in her mind that means you never ever leave their side because if you are away even for a moment the love fades I guess. Journi is the most thoughtful girl in the world and she is always drawing me photos and making me masterpieces but at what point can you get rid of the million photos you have piled up in a drawer that are all crumpled up?

Joelle who is one and just entering her toddler phase is well, a toddler and you know what they call toddlers right? Drunk adults, or jerks its all the same. Well Joelle is in fact both of those things, I know some people don like to call their kids names I can for sure say that my kids don't take offense. Now tell me if you've ever tried to write a paper , or even a blog maybe with a 22 pound child sitting on your neck? Probably not, although its an everyday occurrence with me and now that she is a new walker she is always falling down and giving me heart attacks. She like  her sister wants to dance to any and everything but she isn't as good as her sister she does more of like a fast double bounce with a grandpa arm and leans to the side. If you could not imagine that then you've got it correct because none of it makes any sense. But she's so cute so when she pours juice in your brand new shoes you don't get all stabby because you love her more than a pair of shoes. Unless they are designer, there is no forgiveness for that Joelle!

My kids are literally the funniest parts of my life so it only makes sense to write about them, anything else would be a disservice to you all. I think you'll have as much fun as we do,  enjoy and you're welcome.
