Open The Door

Upon leaving my Bible study one morning, I was positioning my three year old in her car seat when my attention was caught with the sound of a thud. The wind had swung my door open, hitting the van parked next to me. I quickly accessed the damage and was relieved there was only a light coat of red on the car next to me. Read more

Read the Instructions or Else!

Kenzie’s dream was a lofty one — to sit upon her own throne on her 9 th birthday and unwrap her gifts. So she talked me into buying a Strawberry Shortcake inflatable chair to be used to fulfill not only her royal ambitions but another dream as well. When we moved into our current home four years ago she exacted a promise that I would decorate her room in pink. As you guessed it is still blue, but for one Strawberry Shortcake throw pillow, a Strawberry Shortcake poster, and an inflatable pink throne she would consider her room officially decorated until she Read more

DNA Test

Every Christmas eve our family gets together and exchanges gifts.

I was talking to my nephew and his wife (who is pregnant) and told my 2 year old son William that Sarah had a baby growing in her tummy.

William immediately turned to my nephew and asked him, is it yours! To which my nephew replied, I don’t know…maybe we need a dna test!

Nakey Boy

We have 3 boys 14,8 and 5…well of course the oldest was at an age a
few years ago that he hated to see his little brothers naked…so he
would always say ewww nakey boy…well my youngest was about 2 and my
hubby took them swimming…they were all done and in the change
room…and an elderly man walked by from the shower unclothed..and my
son pointed at him and innocently said “eeewww nakey boy” well my
poor husband wanted to crawl under the bench…but just smiled and
shooed him on his way…

Never Married

My son was 5 when I took him out to my college campus one day.  We were sitting in the food court when out of the blue he said, “I don’t think I’ll ever get married.  I’ll have to search the whole world for someone and won’t be able to make it home before dark.”

I don’t know what made him think of it, but it was too cute to forget.

Bring Me a Drink

It’s past bedtime and my son of 3 years keeps asking for something to drink
(to extend bedtime) and we keep telling him no. He continues to ask….can
you bring me up a drink? My husband finally yells upstairs that he needs to
be quiet and go to sleep or he will get a spanking. My son quickly yells
back, “When you come up to spank me, can you bring me a drink!”

Sick Cows

We were on our way to church one Sunday morning.. My children in the back seat got into a discussion about cows.

“Mommy, can cows get sick?” asked my 5 yr old daughter. My oldest son, 11yrs old, decided that he would answer her question.
“Yes, Caitlin, cows do get sick! You know they are sick if they have soured milk.”

My husband and I tried not to let them see us laughing. But it really was funny!

New Batteries

When a friend of mine was weaning her son she told him that the milk was all
gone. That it didn’t work any more. Being a kid of the 21st century his
answer to her was: “Needs new batteries momma!”

Footprints

Last week, my almost- 3-year old daughter said, “I don’t want to wear my shoes. I want to go footprints.” Instead of barefoot. It was so sweet!
