Today's funnies....

Jace and my MIL were talking, and somehow the word "lavatory" came up. (I think they were talking about laboratories.) Anyway, MIL told Jace that "lavatory" is what some people call the bathroom. Jace asked, "In Spanish?"

Lucy was trying to catch the kitten, and she just couldn't. She told me, "Mom! I'm trying to catch Oreo, but she keeps running in circles around!" (Written exactly as she said it.)

Lucy's birthday is coming up soon. Every time I tell her this, she asks, "Now?" I'll say No, soon. She'll ask again, "Now?" We'll do this 4 or 5 times, and then she'll finish off with her, "Are you sure?"

Gotta love it!

Wow, it's been TOO long!

I'm so sorry! I can't believe it's been almost 2 months since I've posted on here. So much to catch you all up on!

We've been telling Lucy since June that her birthday's coming. (Her birthday is mid-September.) Poor kid is sick to death of hearing this. Today she asked me for something, and then she looked at me and asked, "My birthday's coming?" "Yes, honey," I replied. "Are you sure?" She asked.

Gene and I were talking about something and we were whispering. We didn't want little ears to hear. Lucy walked over to us and asked, "What did you say, Dude?"

We bought Parker a HUGE blow-up playpen. (It was on sale for an absolute steal!) While we were blowing it up (because our air pump keeled out), we were all taking turns. All of a sudden, Jace burst into tears. When I asked him why he was crying he said, "Zander's going to use up all his air if he keeps blowing!" Poor thing was so concerned.

I know I have more. I'll do better about updating!

A few funnies...

The other day, we were at church and Zander was looking out the window. Brother Tim and his family pulled up in their van right outside the window, and Zander started waving like crazy. Brother Tim never saw him, though.

I told Zander that he should tell Brother Tim that he's blind.

Zander replied, "Yeah, blind of hearing! I was knocking on the window and he didn't even know it!"

We bought the kids an old Disney CD full of funny songs. One of the songs is "Lou, Lou, Skip to my Lou." The first time Lucy heard this song she said, "Lulu? That's ME! This is my song, oh, it's all about me!"

Lord help us.

Lucy's newest phrase is "Oh my good, good, goodness!" She says it all.the.time. It's really quite cute.

It's Mama's Fault!

Jace has been really sick all week. Last night, he was lying in my bed and Parker was next to him. Jace was talking away to Parker and then he accidentally called Parker "Lucy." I couldn't help but giggle when I heard Jace tell Parker:

"I'm so sorry, Parker. I know you're not Lucy. Blame it on Mama. She's the one who had all these kids."

It's all my fault!

What was that?

I know, it's been awhile again. Life is crazy.... I'll just blame it on my 5 kids, church, work, and everything else. :)

I do have a funny to share, though.

Last week at VBS, the boys got whistles. Now, let it be known that I hate whistles. It takes me back to all the basketball games I fouled out of. I hated hearing that whistle then and I hate hearing them now.

Whenever the boys blow on their whistles in the house, I tell them, "Whistles are for outside."

Jace decided to blow his whistle last night and I told him, "Whistles are for outside." Ashley looked at me with the strangest look on her face and then asked me, "You did what?" When I repeated what I had said to Jace she said, "Oh! I thought you said that you sold our for sale sign."

Deaf and Blond. A deadly combination.

A few funnies for the past few days...

We were watching TV the other night, and a Papa John's Pizza commercial came on. They were promoting the new X-Men Beginnings movie and the new pizza they're offering. Zander turned to Gene and said, "Dad! You and Mom need to go to Papa John's and watch that movie first so that you know if Jace and I will be allowed to watch it."

(Gene and I always watch movies before we allow the kids to. It's been a rule since we've been married. Zander was convinced that you can only see the movie at Papa John's.)

On the way to church on Sunday morning, We asked Lucy what CD she wanted to listen to. She named one, then named another. She then said, "Oh, make up my mind!"

Lucy was full of funnies today!

It snowed off and on all day today. At one point, it was completely white outside. Lucy went running through the house yelling, "It's snowing! It's Christmas! Santa's Coming!!!" Poor kid is going to wake up so disappointed in the morning!

Lucy continued to get excited about the snow, and she was being really noisy. I asked her, "Lucy, what is Daddy doing?" Her response, "Sleeping." So I asked, "And what should you be doing?" She replied, "Being quiet." I asked, "Do you know how to be quiet?" To which she asked, "How?"
