THANK YOU for letting me out of the house on your day off to spend time with my friend.
THANK YOU for not getting upset when I was GONE for FIVE hours and you were home being “Dad.”
My toes are HAPPY with a new coat of “paint.”
My feet are HAPPY with the rub down they got.
My [...]

So all of a sudden it got quiet in the living room. Of course, that usually means that something isn’t right.
I walked in…and saw Megan, sitting behind the coffee table, WITH (look closely) Mr. Potato Head glasses on!
I just about died when she looked up at me – like she was a little old lady [...]

Mom: Megan, go get your pink sneakers so we can go to the store.
Megan: neakerths?
Mom: Yes, sneakers.
Meg: neakerths, neakerths, neakerths, neakerths, neakerths, neakerths

Ryan: Marnellllll….
Mom: What?
Ryan: Marnellllll…
Mom: You can call me “Mom”
Ryan: No, I can’t – I want to call you Marnell because I love you!

So I saw this an another blog I follow – it’s hysterical. Hope you are up for a good laugh! (Now…where can I get some of what HE had? hehe)

Overheard just a few minutes ago…
Mom: Ryan? What are you doing? (As he’s standing behind me on the chair)
Ryan: I’m putting your hoodie up.
Ryan: sings “Dum Dum Dum Dum-de-Dum Dum-de-Dum” (Darth Vader Theme)
Mom: Nice…

Overheard outside the bathroom door…
Ryan: Megan? Will you give me a hug?
Megan: No.
Ryan: Megan? Will you give me a high-five?
*slap*

Overheard at dinner [...]

Ryan: (Looking out the window at the melting snow) Mommy! I see grass!
Mom: Yep – the snow is melting!
Ryan: That means it’s almost time for baseball season!
Hmmm…remember the movie Fever Pitch? I’m a little scared!

OK…warmer would be a better way to describe it. We might even be in the 50’s tomorrow! (Break out the suntan lotion!)
It’s definitely warm enough for a walk to feed the horses.
The white and brown horse is the bully – he’s always sticking his nose out for more carrots and pushing the others away.
Ryan really [...]

Ryan just wants to help.
All.The.Time.
About half of the time, he’s really a help. The other times…not so much.
Today, I was shoveling outside so that Ric could get into the driveway tonight. (I know, I just had surgery 2 weeks ago – I was taking it easy Mom!) Megan and Ryan were both out with [...]

…to make anything in our kitchen. First, this picture shows the only “real” counter. Second, every time we pull out the mixer, two chairs “magically” scoot across the floor and two little ones climb on top of them!
(Just one reason why you’ll see chairs on the kitchen table most of the time!)
Don’t you LOVE our [...]
