Life Lessons: Being Nice

If you don't have anything nice to say,


don't say anything at all.

P.S. This blog is for family and friends only please.

Life Lessons: Drinking & Driving

This morning while driving to Jena's to play, and I was sipping on a sweet protein shake, when Paige let me in on some information.

Paige: "Moooooooooooom, your gonna go to jail."

(Insert that special Oooooooohhhhhhh-I'm-Teeeeeelllllllling tone here.)
Mom: "Uh....why is that??"

(Spoken with genuine concern, I don't wanna go to jail. What was I doing? I thought I was obeying all traffic laws....seatbelts-check.....stoping on red-check......)

Paige: "Your drinking and driving! That's illegal."

(Said with the I'm-Five-And-I-Know-More-Than-You tone.)

Mom: "Paige, your not allowed to drink alcohol and drive...."

(Complete confusion on how to explain this one)

Paige: (Silence)

Mom: "Alcohol is...........like..........beer."

(I used beer for lack of another term. I know she doesn't know what liquor is, we don't drink at home.)

Paige: "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

(Insert the Wow-I-Thought-I-Knew-Everything-But-Perhaps-I-Was-Wrong tone here.)

Cute huh?

All About Daddy.

Little to well known facts about the man we love the most around these parts.

1. He has an obsession with cars. (Of course you know this) Yet, I don't think you understand how deep this obsession runs. Until you live with him, you can't know.

2. He does what he wants, when he wants. Sometimes I think we are just along for the ride.

3. He's the fun one. Yep. Hard to believe, I know.

4. He lives and breathes projects. Which is a good thing. Usually.

5. He loves me when no ones looking. If you know us, you won't believe this.

6. He does an amazing front/back flip on the tramp. When he's not about to break his neck anyway.

7. He's the funniest man I know.

8.He can accomplish a large amount of anything in a very short period of time. This stems from his unusual ability to procrastinate until the very last moment, then he becomes obsessed with finishing whatever it may be.

9. He doesn't know what NO means.

10. But mostly, he adores his girls. AND I MEAN IT. He truly is the best Dad in the world for our children. He plays, teaches, disciplines, and mostly loves them both dearly. We are the luckiest girls to have such a great Daddy around. ♥

You Know It's Time To Potty Train When.....

You find diapers all over the house, and a nakie butt running around because your daughter doesn't want to wear them anymore.

But mostly cause your child brings you at least two poopy diapers per day.

(And by bring I mean hand delivered.)

Yuck.


P.S. Wish us luck. Because thanks to Paige's new favorite movie Look Who's Talking Too, my little cupcake is deathly afraid of Mr. Toilet Man. She won't wear her diapers, but she afraid of getting her tush bit off. Bad combo.

A New Heart

Tonight ater bathtime we had a bit of a challenge with the oldest daughter. She is sweet as pie and sour as........well.......something really sour.

Daddy and I were trying to get everyone ready for bed and she was having a hard time listening and following directions.

That's when I learned that it's all from the heart.

Daddy : " I love you to death Paigey, but you really need to work on your attitude."

Paigey : " Well it's because I need a new heart!"

Mommy : " Uh.....why do you need a new heart?"

Paigey : "Cause this one is always telling me to do naughty things!!"

Awesome.

Life Lessons: Pride

The following conversation happened randomly while watching Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (the OG) last night..

"Mom. Do you know why I'm proud of you?"

"No.......why?"

"Cause you went back to college."

"Awww........... Thank you Paige!"

I Don't Know If You Know.........

But I do this too. Right now it's just a collection of quotes I happen to find amazing. But someday I hope to find the courage to post my own stories, quotes, etc.

Someday.
