Bowling!

I love bowling! It's my new favorite sport!

Here I am with some crushing pin action!




Here's me and my cousin having fun.

Recent Park Day

Happy Mother's Day

Overheard in the Kitchen

The other day I had cut up some mango for the little man to eat.

I left the room for a minute and came back to witness this.

Bubba was bouncing two mango pieces on his plate, like action figures.

Mango Piece 1: My name is Captain Osimus!

Mango Piece 2: Well MY name is HOT PORRIDGE!

Pause.

Mango Piece 2: AND I'M GOING TO SMUSH YOU, CAPTAIN OSIMUS!

Overheard in the Car

Bubba: Do we have any peppermints, Mom?
Me: Nope.
Bubba: We need to get some peppermints and some gum.
Me: Gum?! You're not old enough for gum.
Bubba: NOT gum, GUUUUN.
Me: What do you want a gun for?
Bubba: To shoot BULLETS. I need a KID gun to shoot KID bullets.

Pause.

Bubba: You shoot the kid bullets, and then you put them back in and shoot them again!

Apparently, my kiddo is taking after his G-Pa.

Friend comes to visit

Here's Sissy hamming it up with Mom and Melanie.

Overheard in the Car

Sucking noises from the back of the car.

Mama: Bubba, do you have Sissy's BOTTLE?!
Bubba: Yes.
Mama: Are you sucking on it?
Bubba: No.
Mama: What ARE you doing?
Bubba: I'm cleaning it!
Mama: You're cleaning it? With what?

Pause.

Bubba: With my tongue.

Oldest Kidlet - He's pretty funny.

Yesterday morning I woke up lying on my side. My oldest kidlet was nose to nose with me and had a big smile on his face. He says, "Mama? Will you dress up as a clown today?"

So cute.

Working Pretty Good

Yesterday Bubba wanted to know why Grandpa [Brian's step-grandpa] had died.

Bubba: Mom, why did Grandpa die?
Mama: Well, when you get old sometimes your body just stops working very well and then you die.
Bubba: But I'M not old.

Pause.

Bubba: And my body is workin' pretty good!

Nap Time

Bubba got out of bed and came out of his room during nap time.

Mama: Bubba go back to bed!
Bubba: But MAAAAWWWM...when I go to bed it makes me want to get up!

Serious Slide

Last Tuesday we were getting ready to go to a MOPS park day.

Mama: Bubba, go get some shoes, we're going to the park today!
Bubba: Which park is it?
Mama: It's the one we went to before with MOPS. You'll recognize it when you see it.
Bubba: They have a slide there that goes up?
Mama: It goes up?
Bubba: Yah, you sit on it and then it goes up.
Mama: Wow, that's serious!

Pause.

Bubba: Yah, it IS serious, baby.

Bedtime Stories

We love it when Dad reads us stories before bedtime. Especially the long ones.

Sissy in the House

This is the 'Sissy likes what she's eating' dance.

Bubba's Bunny Pizza

Recently we were waiting at a stoplight. Bubba looks over, sees Pizza Hut and says, "You NEVER see a bunny hopping on top of that restaurant, Mama."

"You don't?" says I.

"No, you NEVER do."

Apple doesn't fall far...

So, I go into the kitchen (because I hear some suspicious chair scooting and clinking and lip-smacking noises) and find Bubba sampling from the sugar bowl! Where did he learn that?!

Never mind the completely slanderous and false allegations of someone (me) hiding the sugar bowl in the sewing machine cabinet when I was little. Preposterous!
