Sometimes ...

Sometimes I just want to run up to a stranger on the street and say "YOU'RE IT!!" and then run away.

*sigh* ...

Getting a phone call saying that your husband is heading to the ER ... is NOT the best way to start off a morning. Just sayin ...

Just to be sure ...

In 1 month Breeanna is goning be NINE years old?!?! What?!?! When in the world did this happen?!?!?! 

Seems like yesterday that Clint & I bought 9 different pregnancy test ... at 4 different stores ... in 6 different trips ... in 1 afternoon. I guess we wanted to be 110% sure we really did bring back such an important souvinor from Jamaica on our honeymoon.

Good thing ...

After Harleigh made the comment last night on "If I was president" ... she now had a new thought come to mind as we were leaving the pool this afternoon.  She said, "I am glad that Daddy is not President.  Because then he would have to work allllllll the time.  Day and Night.  And he would not get to play with us.  But then again ... if he was president ... we would have our own movie theater in our house.  That would be cool."

If I was president ...

Harleigh was laying in bed with me last night, while I had CNN on talking about the oil spill. I thought she was sound asleep until I heard her say, "If I was president I would just simply tell them to turn off the switch to stop the oil. And then I would give all the birds and turtles a bath in my large president bathtub."

A car ride with Harleigh ...

It was just Harleigh and I the other day in the car.  Normally ... when all 3 kids are in the car ... she is my quiet one.  She is the one that is taking it all in ... and listening to everyone else talk.  NOT this day!!!  She NEVER stopped talking. 

It was not a two way conversation!  She just said random things throughout the whole drive to Lawrence and back. 

Here is a "glimpse" into our car ride.



When did Home Depot get an American Flag?


Mrs. Fox is gonna be a second grade teacher next year.


What is that green stuff on that pond?


I just saw a bird with it's head in the ground.


I think I am smarter than Breeanna and Eythen.


That bird had a twig in it's mouth.



Harleigh ... you sure do talk alot!


I have alot to say!



Harleigh ... you stopped talking?


I don't have anything else to say.


Oh wait!  Yes I do!  I know how to make a clam out of play dough.



DO Jayhawks go to summer school?


I really hope no one throws up again.  That was really gross.


Did you know that the 2nd graders next year are the lucky ones?  We do not have to change pods at the school.

I hope I get a medal for my gymnastics meet.  I do not have that many medals.

I think I want to have my birthday party at the bounce house.

Do you think half of the people in the world have a dog?

Was a war won in Lawrence?  I am just wondering because there is that really big American flag in Checker's parking lot.  Did we win a war in Checker's parking lot?

Decisions ... Decisions ... Decisions ...

Mistake #1 ... I brought a large bag of candy in the Moore household. 

Why is that a mistake, you might ask??? 

Well ... I will give you a hint!!!

It begins with an "E" ... and ends with a "ythen". 

Eythen ...

Eythen asked me if he could have a piece of candy. I told him that I did not care ... so he came up to me and asked me which one he should eat.

I suggest the Hershey's milk chocolate ... and he replied with, "I already ate 2 of those today."

Huh??

Ok ... well ... how about Mommy's FAVORITE candybar? Eat on of the Mr. Good Bar???

Come to find out ... he has had a few of those today as well. Without permission ... might I add.

Ummm ... I am not really sure if I should even suggest another option.

I have a feeling I already know out outcome.

Ok ... what the heck ...

I suggest the Krackle this time.

Eythen states, that he did not really care for it when he tried one for breakfast.

See!!!

I would have been SO MUCH better off if I would have just avoided this conversation all together.

Before I can even make a comment about the NUMEROUS pieces of candy that my 5 year old son must have consummed today ...

With one option remaining ... Eythen stated, "I guess I will go ahead and eat a Hershey's Milk Chocolate.

I did like those the best out of all of the ones that I ate today."

Now do you see why buying a large bag of candy is NOT a good thing!!!

Dear TBall Gods:

Dear TBall Gods: Perhaps we should not have Eythen be playing the pitchers position Saturday morning. He seems to do much better at shortstop ... the dirt is better for spinning and kicking out there. Just a thought. From a Mom that bribed her son with McDonalds if he hits a homerun

Purse ...

Normally when I buy a new purse, Clint says things like: Did you really need another purse? Don't you have one that looks just like it? It cost HOW much? Why don't you use one of the other million purses that you own? How many purses do you really need? Rest assure Clint ... I HAD to buy the one I got today. It is national "Mommy Gets To Buy Herself A Purse" day. Google it ...

Rainy day ...

I am pretty sure I read in the SAHM handbook ... that on rainy summer days ... after you drop your middle child off at camp ... Mom's are allowed to curl up back in bed and read a book till it stops raining. If I remember right the fine print says that Mom can not be distrubed.

Nope ... the handbook must of had a typo with that last part.

The battle of the flip flops ...

Dear children: Remember the large wicker basket I bought for you to put all of your flip flops in? No? You don't remember? Well that explains why I keep tripping over flip flops in random places. How is it possible that one flip flop can be in the middle of the kitchen ... but the match is in the bathroom ... or on the steps ... or under the bed ... or outside ... or on the couch ... or totally vanished?

Donuts ...

Eythen and I are gonna enjoy some donuts for breakfast this morning ... and by gosh I am gonna enjoy every single carb that is in it. After all ... it is officially the last day that Eythen is in preshool ... and I am already fighting back the tears ... so I deserve a donut (or two).

It is all mine ...

I have wanted a Cadillac Escallade FOR-EV-ER. Last month Clint suggested I find a "second option". I saw someone driving a Yukon Danali ... and it was oh so pretty. Guess what is sitting in my driveway? A new white Yukon ... and it sure beats the Sequoia. Thanks Clinton! *kisses*

Where in the world???

Where in the world do all the bobby pins and hair ties go?!?!? They just seem to vanish in the Moore house. If anyone sees a large pile of them somewhere ... I call dibs on them!!!

AHHH!!!!

I just saw a spider in our house ... I lost track of the creepy thing while screaming for Clint to come and kill it ... now I feel like a victim in my own home.

Another reason ...

Reason #497456 that Clint and I perfect for one another ... I can flash him a certain look and he knows exactly what I am talking about.

Hmmm ...

I forgot how darn good rice krispy treats are, for an afternoon snack, in the summer time.

T-Ball ...

If they give out medals at the end of T-Ball season to the kid that spins in circles-kicks the dirt-balances mitt on head-waves at Mommy-throws a wild "curve ball"-who looks absolutely adorable in the head to toe catchers uniform ... then Eythen will most definately get a medal at the end of the season!

Allergy season ...

*sneeze* "Bless you, Clint." *sneeze* "Bless you, Harleigh." *sneeze* "Bless you, Clint." *sneeze* "Bless you, Harleigh." *sneeze* "Bless you, Clint." *sneeze* "Bless you, Harleigh." *sneeze* "Bless you, Clint." *sneeze* "Bless you, Harleigh."

DUDE and LIL' DUDE! Lordy Be!

I think a trip to Walgreens ...is well over due ... allergy medicine isle here I come.

Busy ... Busy ... BUSY!!!

In the next 3 weeks, we have Camp Invention, 2 Dance Recital's (tech refersal & dress rehersal for hip hop, ballet, & jazz), Thomas the Train, TBall nonstop, swimming lessons at 3 different times, volleyball camp at 2 different times, basketball camp at 2 different times & gymnastics. *sigh* So much for a relaxing summer.

Dear BP ...

Dear CEO of BP: I would like to bring it to your attention, that you made my 7 year old cry. She was heartbroken when she saw photos of the birds covered in oil ... from the oil leak ... that you have not fixed. She even suggested that we drive her to the birds, so she could give them a bath ... and make them fly again. That's right BP, a 7 year old wants to clean up your mess.
