Kids say anything...

Today I had a friend ride with me to lunch. In my passenger seat I had a jacket, some scarves and random things that had collected on the seat. I just put those things behind the seat and didn't think anything of it. This afternoon I picked up the kids as usual. Put Anna in her seat first and walked around to Brady's side to buckle him in. This afternoon the temp dropped about 30 degrees so I'm freezing waiting on Brady to put up his backpack and said "hurry up!" Brady responds with "Mom, all this stuff on the floor is ridiculous!" Astonished me says "WHAT?" He explains "this stuff on the floor, its too much, its ridiculous!" I'm just thinking, did he really use that in a sentence twice?! So I respond "it's ridiculous, huh? what does that mean?" Using lots of hand gestures and his way of telling a story he replies "you know, it's ridiculous mom. we need to clean this up." WOW! he amazes me sometimes with the things he says. my goal is to blog them more often. I have to admit, I know I don't have this exactly word-for-word the way it went down. However, my memory does remember him using the word ridiculous correctly 3 times in 3 different sentences and they were something along the lines of our little conversation above. I think tomorrow I will see how many of my 3rd graders can use the word ridiculous correctly in a sentence.

Anna's 1st haircut

Today I took Anna to the very girly Sweet and Sassy to have her first haircut. She was excited, but yet very calm. There was a group of young girls celebrating a birthday. They were playing dress up and dancing on the catwalk in the back. She loved watching them while we waited for her turn to get her haircut. When her turn came, she was such a big girl. Anna never even flinched or seemed scared at any point. I wanted them to just trim her up a bit to help fill in her hair. I was amazed at how quickly more wave and curl came out with just a few snips. When she was done, she sprayed her with the girly scented hairspray and glitter spray! Anna looked like a little lady! Now we have a formal picture from Sweet and Sassy with a small lock of hair. Anna's a big girl now!

Numero Tres is on its way!

Yes, I haven't blogged this just yet...I am pregnant with #3. I am 12 weeks and 3 days as of today and due June 5th. Brady will be 4 June 22 and Anna will be 2 January 26....Yes, that is 3 kids under the age of 4 for a short time. When we told the kids, Anna doesn't get it at all. However, when I told Brady that Mommy has a baby in her tummy he said, "why did you do that?" it was so cute. we are all excited and getting prepared!

for the night of my birthday we took the kids out to the farm in weatherford. when brady was 2, he received a John Deere tractor to drive, but this is Anna's Gator. She isn't the best driver, but her big bro does a great job. they were so cute!

I had to include this video just to showcase the fun. the pregnant looking girl throwing her bump around is not pregnant, thankfully. the big hit was the singstar game on chris' new playstation 3. it offered loads and loads of fun and laughter!

Halloween 08

brady still is not into halloween. i tried to get him to dress up, but he only wanted to wear his blue shark shirt. who knows? i even took him to the store and showed him all of the costumes and he wasn't into it. then, i took him and anna to Boo at the Zoo thinking it would spark some interest. no luck. he did ask me "why are all those people wearing masks?" so i played up the halloween thing, and he responded "mommy, i don't like that." i did buy anna a costume, but she wasn't having it either. before i could get it on, she kept saying "no, no, off, off!" she wore it about 30 seconds. it only cost me $5, so i didn't pressure her into it. she just wore a cute halloween shirt and a black bow! they had a great time trick-or-treating. we went over to our nephew Jack's house to trick-or-treat. Jack was Charlie Brown, how cute! the star of the night was the Dad of the Year that dressed up as Elmo. Anna was in awe.

WHITE TRASH BASH

WHOOP! with the help of my cousin Jamie I am now all jazzy with my new layout! thanks cuz.

chris and i have both officially turned the big 3-0! we couldn't let it go down without a great party. we had a White Trash Bash at our house. it was so much fun. everyone dressed to kill and we all nearly pee'ed in our pants several times from laughing so hard at everyone. the slatines and cheez wow (in a can) were a bigger hit than the moon pie and ding dong cake!
