Michael’s Quote of the Day, and Nudity in Public.

Aiden, Family Fun, Humor, Me, Memories, Michael
"Pink is for Girls.  Boys aren't supposed to eat pink."  As he wolfs down his pink strawberry cream cheese covered bagel. So I ask him, "If someone had a birthday and had pink cupcakes, wouldn't you eat it?" "Nobody has pink cupcakes!" Oh, and as I checked out at the grocery store this morning, Aiden jumped out of the cart and decided to "Go Potty."  Ugh!  So I struggled to put my card back in my wallet and grab my groceries quickly, to try to catch him in the bathroom, but I was too slow.  Before I could do anything Aiden ran, parading about, out of the bathroom in nothing but his t-shirt!  "I GO POTTY!!!!!"  "Um, yay, go back in the bathroom!" Oh, the joys of mothering boys.

A little bit of Panic

Aiden, Baby Joey, Bella and Edward, Family, Family Fun, Humor, Kevin, Kevin and I, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures, The end is near, Twilight
The area that we used to live in, just twenty something miles away was evacuated this morning, but we've been told to "shelter in place," so unless there's some other mandate, we're sticking around.  When Allison was here 7 years ago our home was safe (we know the woman who lived here at the time) so that's somewhat comforting. Little Aiden is sick with a head cold.  He's not doing to well with that, I don't want to consider cramming him (and the rest of us) in the car for a long evacuation.  So gratefully we're hopefully not doing that. We were already well stocked and ready, but I went to the grocery store this morning to pick up just a few more things, a long burning fire log, another…

“Don’t tell the girls you wanna marry them!”

Dreams, Family, Family Fun, Humor, Me, Michael, Pregnancy
Didn't think I'd be saying that one yet...  I guess Michael keeps telling the girls in his class that he wants to marry them.  So they tattle, and he gets in trouble. He's always asking me when the next baby is coming, and I keep telling him it's not up to him, and there might not be any more babies.  He says when he grows up he's going to have 12 children (I don't know where he'd get that from!), but he loves little babies and kids.

Can’t the English Language just change for me??

Humor, Me, The end is near, To new beginnings
What I'm asking is rather small, all I want is just to be jsut, because to be becuase, the to be hte, and a slew of other words that my fingers won't type the correct way, and after years of typing them wrong my spell check just accepts them as real words. Is that too much to ask???  LOL! Sorry to those that this bugs!  I try to correct it if I see it but my minor dyslexia makes it hard for me to pick out a lot of the time.

Adorable Stray Cats Need a Home

Adoption, Animals, Cats, Family Fun, Grief and Loss, Humor, Life in Texas, Me, Pictures, Pregnancy, The end is near, To new beginnings
They have a home!  Someone's coming to get them! OK, these are some of the adorable cats that hang around my neighborhood, they can't stay long because well, we're in apartments and it's not the safest environment for them and I think there are legal issues... So these little guys are free to anyone willing to catch them, take them to the vet, and care for them. This is a Mama, probably not more than a year old, and her final kitten left from what we believe is her first litter, born earlier this summer, 6-8 weeks old.  I don't know where the other two kittens are, hopefully people were able to take them in rather than having them found by predators or hit by cars.  The girls downstairs have…

Finally Last Sunday’s “Session”

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Humor, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures
Rather play date, LOL!  The boys were having fun, and I was having fun.  Win/Win. :) This was a week and a half ago. We set up the boys indoor play tent and they quickly filled it with a toy stash and some left over boxes and set to work having fun, while I pulled out my camera and snapped some shots.  Even Joey got in on the fun towards the end. Silly Boys. Mom!  Watch this!!! A Mommy favorite. Another Mommy favorite. Nobody is silly here!! Joey getting in on the big boy fun. Hey!  What's this about??? Anything for you big brother. Baby toes.  Awww! I just love the back of his little head. Baby Kisses!!! Buddies and Brothers.

Boring Storm

Family Fun, Humor, Life in Texas, Memories
We've had normal old rain storms that were more interesting than this, LOL!  Outside it's breezy, cool, and gray. The beginning of the storm is here, and Kevin's off work, they decided to close up the place today, so since he took yesterday off to have a family day, this is the 4th day of this weekend.  It's nice to have him here.  We got to sleep in too. Sadly it's too overcast to get any pictures of the cloud pattern, I can't really see a pattern.  In the past tropical storms and hurricanes have projected some awesome looking cloud patterns at night, so I was hoping that with this being a daylight tropical storm that I'd be able to get some good ones...  The rain falling off the roof…
