the new pet

Filed Under Kids, laughter, love | Leave a Comment

At preschool, Cookie earned a treasure from the treasure box for writing her name at home and taking it to school. She was so excited and came home with a little red capsule that looked like a pill. (worried me for a minute actually!)
After dinner we placed it into a clear cup of water and waited. A little while later a horse shape came out of the capsule and I had Cookie rinse the rest of the jel cap off of the red horse. I then suggested she take it out and go play with it.
Imagine my surprise when she started crying! She says “I want to leave it in there so it can grow big!” I explained that it wasn’t going to get any bigger to which she really started to sob and says, “But MOM! I want a friend to ride and play with. That is too little! Put it in the water some more!” Poor thing! She has left it in the water and hopefully forgotten about it for a little while, but how am I going to explain!!

The Naughty Corner

Filed Under Kids, laughter | Leave a Comment

Tater was sitting at the top of the stairs BEGGING to go in the naught corner a few nights ago. It was honestly really pathetic! He hadn’t been feeling well all day, but knows that if he is in the naughty corner, then he’s not in bed, so he was begging for the naughty corner.
Jefe thought it was really funny and just laughed at him. After a few minutes we brought him downstairs and held and rocked him for a few minutes. Poor kid!

He tried it again tonight. Since he was just trying to put off bedtime and has been feeling fine, we gave him a love and a kiss and sent him off to bed. ;o)

Where are we again?

Driving around the other day, Tater started chatting with me-
Tater: Mount’ns
Me: yep, Mountains.
Tater: BIG Mount’ns
Me: yes, you are right, big mountains.
Tater: Big Mount’ns in her-tah.
Me: what?
Tater: Big Mount’ns in her-tah.
(he means Utah but is saying her-tah in stead!)
Silly kid!

Preschool

Cookie had her first day of Preschool last week. She was begging to go since SuperKid started Kindergarten so we decided to find one locally and enroll her. She LOVES it and is learning so much already! She is such a smart girl and loves to go play and learn. My kids are growing up so fast!!

Where are the shoes?

Filed Under Kids, laughter | Leave a Comment

At my brothers wedding a few weeks ago, things were pretty crazy. Saturday was a day filled with go, go, go! We woke up in the morning to get everyone ready while mom and dad went early to the wedding. 11 people to get ready! Not just that, but we were not returning to the hotel the entire day, so we needed the wedding clothes, everything for the luncheon and then our clothes for the reception that night!
We packed everything into bags and loaded into the van. After the wedding and the luncheon we are all changing into our reception clothes to head over to where that was taking place and I cannot find my shoes anywhere. I was sure that I put them in the bag! I ended up wearing the brown shoes that didn’t match, but at least I had shoes!

The next day as we are going to leave, we opened up the safe that the hotel had in the room and there were my shoes! Apparently SuperKid thought that my shoes were worth more than the $7 I paid for them at Walmart! ;o) They were very safe and even still unused.

Thumb wrestle

Filed Under Kids, laughter, love | Leave a Comment

Today at a family reunion, Forrest and his new wife, Melissa were eating with the rest of us. My youngest brother LG who is 7 was sitting next to Melissa. He was saying that he wanted to marry Melissa when he grew up and how he LOVED her. Forrest kept saying things like done deal, too late, and I already won her.
Finally in frustration, LG says “Give me your hand. We will thumb wrestle to see who gets to keep Melissa” (giggle!)

Forrest, being a good sport, started to thumb wrestle and won with a “sneak attack” (used his other hand). LG says “Darn. I’ll get you next time”
So cute~!
