Now I Said My ABCs.....

**pause the music player at the bottom of the page to hear the video clips**

Enjoy this video clip of Cody reciting his ABCs
(Note the Bob the Builder goggles):



And, here's the translation per Harley
(note the "bisor", a.k.a. visor):

Out of the mouths of our 2 & 3 y/o's

this is the conversation that Harley and I had in the truck not too long ago:

Harley: {whining} "Mom, I have somephin on my tooth"
Me: "What is it?"
Harley: "Somephin"
Me: "Ok, like what?" {dumbfounded}
Harley: "A booger!!!"
Me: {laughing} "How did that get there?"
Harley: "I ate it and it got stuck on my tooth...get it off Mommy {screaming}!!!"
Me: {laughing hysterically....as I look into his mouth to see if I can see it} "Your daddy will help you brush your teeth when we get home" (whhewww! got out of that one)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
this is a typical conversation that ensues with Cody at bedtime after at least three rounds of hugs and kisses and the lights go out:

Cody: " 'nother kiss Mommy"
Me: "No Cody, we will have another kiss in the morning"
Cody: " 'nother hug big, tight Mommy"
Me: "No Cody, we will have another hug in the morning"
Cody: {sitting up now} " 'more juice (which really means soymilk) Mommy"
Me: "No Cody, we will have more milk in the morning"
Cody: {as he gathers up 5 or 6 of his animals} "These for Daddy"
Me: "Daddy is at work(/showering/doing chores)" {we take turns laying with them at night}
Cody: "Need Daddy"

do you get the idea??....this could go on for at least 10-15 minutes. i have to keep from laughing myself while it is happening!!

Let the "school-ing" begin

Today was Harley's first day of Pre-K 3. By this morning he had already memorized the Bible verse that we recieved yesterday at Open House, "In the Beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth". He was excited and promised that he would be good.


These pictures were taken at Open House yesterday...

And this is just before leaving for his first day this morning. He insisted on wearing his new school t-shirt that we got yesterday as well.

*note the large blue goose-egg in the middle of his forehead that he got when he jumped into my headboard yesterday while he and Cody were playing the "Pow..Pow" game on my bed after I told them time and time again that someone was going to get hurt; but what do I know???

Uh-Oh Daddy-O

Because every chaotic event within our family is post-worthy, I thought I would share these photos with you all. However, because I am the only one making the postings on our family blog, I am sure I won't live this down for quite some time...




Without the explanantion coming straight from my mouth, I am quite certain you can put two and two together from the pictures above and the pictures below...




It's left up to your imagination to decide whether the mishap in our front yard was the result of the lawn mower or the kiddie four-wheeler...

Are you kidding me???

DSR "Group-ee" - Take 2

David St. Romain (see the previous blog for who he is...) played again at the Baton Rouge Airport today for their 60th anniversary celebration; it was a family-friendly atomosphere and we were able to take the boys. Seems that our boys may be "rock stars" at heart...we were positioned on the front row and Jack and I were somewhat nervous that it might be too LOUD for them. Not so...they "rocked" out the entire time!!
