The kiddos love these! Great for birthday parties!

No honey you are a girl.

The joys of having four boys and one girl. Being the only girl in the house besides me, my 2 year old has learned some things that I am constantly having to correct from her brothers! My famous lines lately are; " no honey, girls don't have that." Sorry honey girls can't pee like that." or "No baby girl , only boys can hurt their peter nuts."

The best is when we are at someone elses house or at a store and I hear her yell " Ouch I hurt my peter nuts! " Seriously? This is me, " Sorry she has older brothers." That may not live to be teenagers! (just Kidding) She also can burp, spit a loagie, and fart with the best of em'! She puts boys to shame in getting dirty..... We no longer buy white shirts for this reason. Her brothers mind you are not being raised in a barn or at least they've been told.

That is so not me!

We went camping with the my family a couple of weeks ago. We had a great time! The weather was awesome.
The guys took the kiddos fishing, and on the first time out between all the kiddos they caught 14 or so fish.
They bring them back to camp slice and dice them, and bagged the fish heads, and all the groce stuff in a bag. My six year old
was sitting in the camper when his grandma asked if he would take the bag with the fish yuck in it, and throw it in the fire.
He looks at grandma and says, " Oh that is so not me!"

While on our camping adventure my cute sister takes the little kids on a nature "adventure walk", so that they wouldn't feel left out when the big kids went fishing with the dad's. Well I look out the camper window and she has then all in a line with their own walking sticks. My kids would be the ones that their sticks are bigger then them by about 2 feet. Whatever. Any who, They take off marching behind her in a line , and she starts shouting out this adventure walk chant that the kids are repeating.
" We're going on an adventure, we're gonna see some bugs. We're climbing up the mountain, I hope, I hope I don't have to pee, cause that wouldn't be fun for me! " So cute!

A lesson in breeding of the animal kind

My kids are going to get a lesson on the birds and the bees at a young age living in the country.
Their dad was getting ready to take his mare over to get bred. Well the boys were asking him where he was going.
He gave them the short version of what he was doing. My six year old looks at him with the look of the old wheels are a turnin'.
"You mean the horses are going to dress up like pieces of bread? That's just silly dad! " I laughed so hard! My husband looks at him and laughs "Yep son that is exactly what they do." Gotta love it. I think that my boys had it figured out when they went with their dad to take the horse.

Track and barf!

My sweet eight year old had his first track and field meet this year. He was so excited, and he practiced all the time.
The night before the big races he was so excited that he had trouble sleeping. The next morning he woke up bright and
early to get ready. He got dressed, put on his new running shoes, and then headed in the kitchen for his breakfast of champions.
(AKA oatmeal) He ate it then proceeded to the garbage can to throw it all back up! Yep. That is nasty. Let's not try to get to the toilet where it could be flushed. He ended up taking 3rd place in the 50 yard dash. Pretty good for a very nervous kid.

Hey Mom!

I am now very ripe and ready to roll with the end of this pregnancy! I feel like it has been an eternity of late night potty breaks, heartburn, wild out of control emotions, and patience that have been tested to the limit. I am however sooooo looking forward to meeting my new little one. :)

This story of my life begins with a mid day potty break. My six year old is playing the Wii on my bed. So I am in the bathroom and I hear him giggling. He then shouts "Mom do you know what would be groce?" I am thinking great another random tought out of the mouth of a babe. "What?" He then starts to giggle again, "it would be so groce if you just pooped the baby out in the toilet! "
Now you have to know my six year old stuff like this is everyday at our house. I of course just laughed. He keeps asking how the baby will come out. I keep telling him it's a secret special way, and when he is eighteen I will let his dad tell him!!!

I have a head ache..

My six year old got off the school bus the other day, and he wasn't looking so good. I asked him what was wrong?
he replied,"I have a headache on this side of my head." He was pointing to the right side of his head. Then he went on to say, " I think that the reason I have a head ache on this side of my head is because I need to go to the all day school, so that the other side can get as smart as this side that hurts, then my head wouldn't ache any more! "

The moral of the story people don't quit school after kindergarten or you will have a permanent one sided head ache!
