Meatheads

February 5, 2011

Rick got on this kick of telling Mallory her how big her muscles are getting after she eats her veggies. So now – during almost every meal – she shows us how big her muscles are getting – “LOOK AT MY MUSCLES”

And of course Carson has to get in on it too. The best is that now he will initiate it during dinner. Which is hysterical, of course.

I have to share this picture – Mallory was headed outside and I told Carson he needed to put on his coat because he needed a hood if he wanted to go outside. …

Latest Funnies

February 4, 2011

Mallory calls the UPS truck the PRESENT truck.
Yesterday morning getting Carson dressed for school, he was standing on his changing table after getting dressed. He still had his paci in his mouth and he was twirling it around. I asked him if I could have his paci to put back in his bed. He started to smile behind his paci, then he pulled it out and laughed and said NO!, and replaced his paci, while still giving me a grin.
The best is this email I got from daycare this morning: “…Carson was such a good friend yesterday to …

Must win

January 30, 2011

The story you are about to read is a true story. I couldn’t make this stuff up if I wanted to.
Watching the Pro Bowl tonight – I asked Rick where (Tom) Brady was.
Mallory asked “Brady Hoke?”
I asked her who Brady Hoke is.
MCB: “Our new coach!”
STB: “Who was our old coach?”
MCB: “Wich Wod (Rich Rod)…
…but he didn’t win Ohio State”

Hot frocolate

January 23, 2011

I had a freezing cold outdoor photo session yesterday and came up with the idea of having big mugs of hot chocolate for the kids after we took pictures outside.
My kids got to enjoy their hot frocolate tonight. Once Mallory saw the brand new big huge red mugs, she bugged me all day about having some. But between the all the Valentine candy they had from our earlier photo session I didn’t need them having more sugar.
But then I remembered the hot chocolate in our cupboard is sugar-free.
So, I whipped them up a huge mug, complete with whipped cream and …

The Essee

January 23, 2011

Tomorrow’s sharing day letter is S and I asked Mallory what she wanted to bring for her sharing item.
She said she wanted to bring an Essee (sp?) – because when she says it, it sounds like it starts with an S (I’m guessing at how this would be spelled if it was a real word). I was trying to figure out if that is some animal from her new obsession, Madagascar, so I asked a few questions.
This is a summary of her rambling.

Essee. I want to bring an Essee. Well, they aren’t real but they live in …

The Messmakers

January 23, 2011

Our house isn’t spotless, much to my mother’s constant dismay. It isn’t dirty, like with food tucked under couches and stacks of junk everywhere but we have the mess that comes along with being busy. Folded laundry on the couch that stays a few days longer than it should. Clean pans on the stove that were left out to dry that are still there three days later. The island in our kitchen – while I would LOOOOVE for it to be spotless every day – isn’t ever spotless. Right now it is covered in mail, silly bandz, Carson’s report cards …

Behind the Scenes

January 23, 2011

I got the backdrop out to take some Valentine pictures of the kids today and Mallory grabbed her camera (our seven-year old Canon Rebel).
Here are some behind the scenes pictures of Mallory having a photo session with her brother.
How stinking funny is she?

Here are the pictures she took (yes, I still have my pajamas on).

I’ll share pictures from my camera another day.

Swim-Bike-Run

January 18, 2011

A local Irish bar is putting on a St Patrick’s Day 5K race, and there is a little kid’s dash race too (I think it’s a block).
Rick & I thought Mallory might enjoy the kid’s race so I asked her about it.
She said she would but that she wanted to bring her bike and swim too.
It took me a minute to realize that she only wants to do triathlons.

Oh boy…

January 15, 2011

We’re in trouble.
Mallory’s new “thing” is that when I have to ask her to do something more than once (usually to STOP doing something), she responds with “OK. Whatever. STOP!”.
And Rick has succeeded in getting her to respond “can’t be sure!” when she doesn’t know the answer.
I’m so sorry for the daycare ladies.
