We only let Carson have one cup of water at night (he used to get as much as he wanted but we are trying to eliminate his bi-weekly night-time accidents).
Anyway – he yelled down tonight that he wanted more water. I told him he couldn’t have more because he’d already had one sippy cup of water.
Carson yelled back: “YOU ARE THE MEANEST!!!”
And then he yelled: “I am gonna TELL on you!!!”
Then he came downstairs calling for Rick. I asked why he needed dad and he said “to tell on you.”
Luckily Rick wasn’t here to get me in the trouble that …
Month: June 2012
Flashbacks
These pictures have been on my USB drive for months (due to me being beyond behind in my blogging) – and of course I’m to the point now where I don’t know what I wanted to write about them.
But they are too cute of pictures to not share. Carson must have won the battle of the hose (he & Mallory fight over who can hold and spray the hose) and was enjoying a hot summer day. These were taken in June 2012, and with the weather we’ve been having here lately [I’m finally posting these in late January] – …
Drawing in the dirt
Mallory started tball tonight. She was great in the beginning (the coach even told the rest of the team to see how Mallory was in the ready position).
But two innings later, she was playing in the dirt at second base. When she came off the field, I asked how the dirt was.
“Good!”, she said. “I wrote my name in cursive.”.
Nice.
Carson’s Turn
If you’ve been to a Michigan football game early enough, you may see the team warming up to Lupe’s “The Show Goes On”.
But now, to keep you entertained in the off-season, here is a sampling Carson’s interpretation of Denard’s pre-game dance to Lupe’s “The Show Goes On”.
And then, because it’s fun – here is Carson’s favorite part:
So Call Me Maybe
Here’s Mallory’s version of the Harvard baseball team’s version of Carly Rae Jepson’s “Call Me Maybe”.
I suppose Carson is playing the part of the guy asleep in the back row.
It’s hard to see behind the sunglasses and lipgloss application, but if you look closely you’ll be able to see Mallory (try to) wink at the right time near the end.
Graduation
My mom retired yesterday. Her last day of work!
I told Mallory that it was Gigi’s last day of work.
Mallory: “Did she GRADUATE from work?”
Me: “I suppose she did.”
Mallory: “CAN WE GO???!?!?!”
I think she already knows that graduation means a party and cake. ;-)
First & Last ~ Kindergarten Style
First day of Kindergarten (September 2011)…
and the last day of Kindergarten (June 2012 ~ complete with remnants of dress rehearsal makeup…)
Isn’t so she cool with the backpack over one shoulder? I mean honestly…
Toughest mom moment
I just had my toughest moment as a mom…trying to decipher Mallory’s explanation for how she wanted her hair tomorrow. She said she wanted two ponytails and one is like this and then the other is like this. She tried to show me on her Barbie head but her hair wasn’t long enough. So she tried to do it on my hair but instead she pulled out a ton of hair in her attempts to do her dream hairdo.
It took about 10 minutes and her getting crazy frustrated at me for not getting what she was trying to explain …
Tonight’s book
This is the book Mallory grabbed for us to read at bedtime tonight. It’s the hard cover version of my blog from 2006 & 2007.
I wish I’d been videoing her when she said “REALLY???? You wrote this book?”
Big Wuv
Me: “I love you Carson”
Carson: “I wuv you, Mommy”
Me: “I love you more!”
Carson: “I wuv you to the back and moon!!”
