Socks

Today I bought my husband some new socks.  The care label states,

"Do Not Iron."

Bummer!  I can't iron these babies!  Talk about bursting my bubble!

I'm going to cry now.  Probably from laughing so hard.

Good Night Music

While attempting to get my kids to bed, I start serenading

from The Music Man,

"Goodnight my sweet ones goodnight my loves

(cause I'm singing it to my kids so there's a little improv)

Goodnight my sweet ones goodnight

I wish I may and I wish I might ...

To which my daughter starts improv-ing as well

with a very appropriate made up tune:

"Mom!  I need a drink of water!

Mom!  I want a piece of bread!

Mom!  Read me a story!

Mom!  I don't want to go to bed!"

Chickens & Bugs

Cute 4 year old little girl asks me, "Why are the chickens outside?"

I tell her, "Because that's where the bugs are.  They like to eat them."

With total shock she replies, "They like to eat the bugs?"

Half laughing, I tell her, "Yes.  They think bugs are yummy. 

I don't think bugs sound yummy."

Before I can ask what she thinks she tells me,

"I don't thing bugs are yummy.  I think donuts are yummy."

Puts a smile on my face

After quite possibly THE BESTEST weekend of my entire life!!!  Yes my husband totally rocks!!!  I'm kind of tired today.  And it's Monday morning and this is another jammed packed full week, and being tired isn't quite the best way to start.  So after I stayed in bed 20 minutes longer than normal, I find myself standing in the kitchen asking my kids if they mind eating lunch at school today.  My youngest looks at me like I've just flung spitballs at her and my oldest hangs his head and mutters, "Yeah."  (But not really.)

That was the pick-er-upper I needed.  My kids like their home-made lunches!  :)  That sure puts a smile on my face.

Tales from Middle School

My daughter told me a story about what happened in her math class.  This boy wearing a spider man shirt climbed out the window during class.  Nobody except his group noticed on round 1, so he did it again.  This time the teacher caught him and told him that we don't climb outside the windows in this classroom.

My daughter was telling me how he hardly got in trouble at all.  My son told her that it was good for him. 
My daughter replied, "But not good for the audience."

Have some ketchup.

Perhaps you've seen the t-shirt that reads:

 "I have ketchup with my ketchup."

My son owns one in bright red. 

Today he's eating scrambled eggs.  This is what he's doing:  getting eggs on his fork.  Looking closely at it.  Takes the bottle of ketchup and puts some directly on the eggs that are on his fork.  Puts the ketchup down.  Inspects the food on his fork again, I'm guessing he's making sure there's at least a 50/50 mixture.  When he's satisfied, in his mouth it goes.

And then he's repeating the process with the next bite.  And the next.  And the next. 

Lol, it was too funny watching, had to share.  :)

What was that you said?

My daughter is reading a book and finds out the main character is 22.  Surprised, she asks me, "Mom, she's 22?"

My reply, "Yes.  Kind of young, hu?"

While looking down into her book she replies, "Kind of old."

Me, "What?"

She looks up at me and straight faced tells me, "Ya mom.  Kind of young."
