Backseat Words of Wisdom

Yesterday morning I was driving Greyson to school when it started to rain, which of course meant that everyone had to slam on their brakes on the highway. As we were crawling along at a roaring 5 mph, Greyson pipes up in the back seat "Go faster Mommy." I told him I couldn't because there was all this traffic in front of me. "Mommy," Greyson sighed "there are idiots everywhere."

And the Oscar goes to....

We were out playing on the driveway when Greyson fell down and skinned his hand. It was bleeding a tad and so I offered to get him a band-aid. Quinn piped up that she wanted one too and I told her that she didn't need one because she hadn't fallen. So, Quinn then proceeds to carefully lie down on the driveway and start this quite realistic crying jag and in between sobs informs me that she fell down and needed a band-aid. I hear Hollywood calling.

Who Ya With?!?!

In our continued quest to turn our children into sports fanatics we took them to their first basketball game: Vandy v. MTSU. My parents (who are basketball fans in their own right) were in town and were happy to come along. And we even ran into some friends randomly at the game - Brent Hefty and his girlfriend Erin. We had great seats and the kids, as always, had a blast. The only exception was that Greyson was terrified of the giant pickle that was giving away shirts at halftime - go figure. Here are some pics from the game.

Greyson wouldn't stand on the floor because the pickle was still there, at least we got a picture of him not terrified.
This is how a real lady eat popcorn.

What everyone wants for Christmas

In case you are wondering - yes these are pee and poop stuffed animals, yes you can purchase them on Amazon.com for a mere $40 and NO my kids don't need them.

What a Feeling...

Raif and I have been lucky enough to be invited to an '80s party tonight (I know you're jealous) - appropriate attire required. I actually found some legwarmers at Target for the event. Quinn found them tonight and insisted on wearing them. I just don't understand why this trend went out of style.

Gobble, Gobble

The kids made Thanksgiving turkeys today and were so proud of their creations that I thought I should post them for everyone to enjoy. Happy Thanksgiving.

A Close Call (and heads up to you other mothers)

I brought the kids home from picking up Greyson from school, put the dogs outside and realized I had left Greyson's backpack in the car so went into the garage to get it and heard the door slam, the door lock and hysterical giggles from inside the house. I banged on the door for a couple minutes but to no avail as my children thought it was hysterical that they had locked me out. Thankfully I had let the dogs out earlier and so the back door was unlocked so I got into the house that way. Had I not let the dogs out I would have been at the mercy of my children; cold and trapped in the garage. I have a feeling we are going to Home Depot tomorrow and getting a hide-a-key for the outside.
