Momma Said There'd Be Days Like This....

Most days they get along but 'there will be days like this, there will be days like this my mother said.'

Another Pee (not pea) Story

So the kids had Awana tonight.  I picked them up and put them in the car.  As I went to get in the driver's seat, Chloe starts yelling that she has to pee.  So I go over to her side, unbuckle her, and ask if she can hold it until we get back into the church.  She says no.  So what does this classy mom do?  I pull down her shorts and let her go in the parking lot.  What does my classy child do?  She pees on my foot.........

Peas are Yellow??

I always ask the kids to tell me about their day.  Chloe was telling me everything that is yellow or lellow as she says it.  Bananas are lellow, the sun is lellow, my hair is lellow, squash is lellow, peas are lellow.  I stopped her and said no peas are green.  She looked at me funny and said, "Mommy my pee pee is lellow.  Is yours green?"

Bowling and Baseball

I signed the kids up for the summer bowling which means that every Sunday they email me passes for two free games per kid.  So why haven't we ever gone bowling???  I don't know!!  The passes are good from open to 8 pm so we went one day last week after Brandon got off work.  The kids loved it.  Ashlyn even bowled a 100 exactly.  She was excited.  Chloe was funny to watch.  She would carry her ball over, push it down the ramp, and then lay under the ramp to watch it hit the pins.  Summer bowling officially ends in mid September so we have a couple of weeks to use the passes.

While at one of the library shows, they gave away free tickets to the Gwinnett Braves game.  We only have one more week to use them, so we decided to go last Tuesday.  Well I looked at the schedule wrong and when we showed up for the 7:00 game, no one was there.  Apparently the game started at 1:00 that day.  So we had to get the kids a donut to feel better and head home.  Friday night they have fireworks so we decided to do that.  We had great seats along the first base line.  The kids didn't really care about the game.  They wanted to watch Chopper the mascot who Ashlyn called Chipper.  They also liked the music and between the inning games.  We made it to fireworks and Ashlyn was thrilled.   Chloe still doesn't like fireworks so her head was buried on me.  We got home late and they both slept in the next day which was nice. Ashlyn got up at 8:00 and Chloe 9:30.....

Weekend Fun

We had a pretty great weekend!

Friday night:  I dropped the kids off at the gym for date night and Brandon and I went to Stone Mountain for a seafood buffet.  It was very good.

Saturday:  Ashlyn's buddy Colbie was having a bday party.  Ashlyn has been asking everyday since we got the invitation if it was the day of the party.  Today was finally the day.  So then we got to hear her ask if it was time ALL DAY.  She went to the party and had a great time.  Then Brandon took the kids on a daddy date so I could have a candle party at the house which was fun.

Sunday:  We took the kids to Stone Mountain and did the kids version of the Sky Hike.  We never went in there before and they loved it.  Chloe was a little leery at first but then warmed up and even did the zipline.  Then we went to church this evening.  Ashlyn threw a fit about going in the 4year old class.  We have been going to the same church since she was born and she all of the sudden started freaking out about going in the room.  She said it was the 'boy teacher'.  Well we finally got her to go into the three year old class with Chloe and guess what?  There was a 'boy' teacher in there too and she didn't say anything.  So I'm thinking something happened that scared her.  I'm not sure what or what to do about that.............

BTW  Chloe is now in a big girl bed and loves it.  Saturday night was her first night in it and she didn't get up today until 8:40.  Goodbye toddler bed!!

I Don't Want to Wear That...............

The kids were a little wound up before bedtime.  We put them to bed and then we came downstairs.  Brandon is still catching up on travel time, so he went to sleep.  Ashlyn yelled for me to come up......

Ash:  What were you doing?
Me:  I had to tuck daddy in too.  He was tired and is sleeping so you need to sleep too.
Ash:  Why didn't he tuck himself in?  Were his hands tired from tucking us in??


Also, I'm not sure if this is just my kids or what-----but are they supposed to be that picky about what they want to wear???  Ashlyn is worse than Chloe but they are serious about their school clothes!  I'm talking right down to the socks and shoes.   Is this what I have to look forward to for the next 10+ years??????????

What Do You Want To Be When You Grow Up??

Chloe, Ashlyn, and I were playing store.  Ashlyn was the cashier and I was the customer.  Chloe said she'd hold my money for me.  Enough said.....
