A little mommy tidbit...



It's awfully hard to keep a straight face when chastening your first born son should he...



pause...



sailor salute...



and reply "affirmative"!



*********


How big would you smile if you discovered Trevy discovering the earbuds?



And (white boy funky) dancing to the PlayHouseDisney tunes he was hearing in them?!



**********


Bristel frantically irrational to Jonathan immediately after waking...



Daddy...I just don't know who I'm going to marry!



I just don't know!



**********


Toby was snuggling a very sleepy puppy. I plopped down on the couch next to them.



We sat there for a moment. Just enjoying each others company. When Toby finally broke the silence...



Hey Mom...



I know what Callie wants to be when she grows up.



I raised an eyebrow.



A mommy!



Sigh. Here we go again. With the but how do you know for sure convo. Which always follows the I want another baby brother convo.



**********


Dr. Pedi to Bristel during a recent well-visit...



Does anyone smoke in your house?



Bristel...



Ummmm...no.



Then adds...



Well sometimes mommy does.



Me to Bristel...



What?!



Bristel to me and Dr. Pedi...



Well you do make the kitchen smoke!



**********



Bristel to me on the way to our homeschool co-op recently...



I think we should pray all together. Isn't that a great idea?



(she punctuates everything with isn't that great idea?)



Me to Bristel...



That is a wonderful idea, honey.



Toby without peeling away from his gameboy...



Just don't close your eyes, mom!

Grams' Trevy highlight of the week was his response when Pop-Pop asked for a kiss good-bye.




He came in for the smoochie...



...but couldn't bring his (sensory) self to touch the beard. Which seeing caused him to whole body shiver cringe. And he instead kissed his hand to blow a kiss. But changed his mind on that even...



and instead...spontaneously...raised his hand for a hi-five!



Looks like Pop-pop better get used to good-bye fives instead of smoochies!



**********



My Weds through Fridays are KA-RAY-ZEE.



I'm just compelled to share that nugget with you. On the chance that I should receive emails or facebooks or phone calls...and they go unresponded to. I am SO sorry! I most likely DID get it. Just didn't have time to respond immediately. And when I don't ASAP...I tend to forget!



**********



A friend was hanging out the other day and I had stepped out of the room.



She insisted (to my rolling eyes) that Trevy had laid his head down on a pillow and pretended to snore.



I totally thought she was flaking!



Until...



Trevy laid his head down on a pillow and pretended to snore!!!!!!

too cute...the innocence of children...love-love-love it!

I know i posted this on someone else's blog...so you may have heard it already(sorry)...but this is another crack-up moment I never will forget....

As I put makeup on in my bathroom, Hailey is watching me and playfully putting some on.
I referred to her in conversation as "lady"

Hailey..."Mom...I am not a lady I am a girl!"

Me..."well, what is the difference between a lady and a girl?"

Hailey ..."Ladies boobs wiggle and girls boobs don't!"

Oh how adorable. Emma discovered loud high pitched constant screaming. I can't think of a way to write that and make it seem cute.

No, I don’t know him personally

  I’ve had several emails today asking if I know Mike W. of Marissa’s Bunny personally.    Trevy’s blog was linked on her site.  Although it’s not now.     I’ve posted here and there at his request.  Because…well…we’re a community.  Us IS families.  And Marissa is wicked cute.  Her daddy has a way with words.  Also who wouldn’t want the world to know about an iPad give-away?    But aside from that…I know about as much as you do.    We’ve never met in person.    Our only communication has been cyber.    I’m a ginormous sap and as such would love to believe that all is right.  That the sweet, beautiful families who were promised iPads will be getting them tonight.  Tomorrow at the latest.  That no one has been lied to.  That the personal thank you for your generosity email I sent him on behalf of other IS families I’ve grown to love and was thrilled to learn w...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it ain't sexy livin' on an island...

Especially when you have to cross bridges to get ANYWHERE. Very LARGE bridges. The crests of which I inevitably get stuck at. Speaking of...why is it that at the tippity tops of our bridges...the railings always open up? To reveal an eagle's eye view of the white capped depths below? I HATE that. And sure enough...in route to Dr. Pedi yesterday...they must have seen me coming cause traffic ground to a halt at the top of the Mt. Hope Bridge. Where I felt less than Hope-ish. My palms gushing my nerves onto the steering wheel for a good 15 (felt like forever) minutes. Not just things medical bring out my cowardly lion. Heights do too! Anyway... Grabbed an iced coffee and chocolate cream filled to settle my nerves on the way. And we arrived on time...in one piece. Of course. Dr. Sick-Visit-Pedi breezed in chart in hand. Glanced down. Then at Trevy. Then said... "He has a history of Infantile Spasms?" Surprise and speculation in her voice. We get that a lot. It...
