This is my homage to Bill Cosby—The Cosby Show is still one of my all time favorite tv shows (and I’m a TV aholic!)—the Cosby’s are the best tv family because Dr. Huxtable always found a good solution to the problems that also taught the kids a good lesson. I especially love the episode where they sing the song to the grandparents for their anniversary and Rudy is just sooooo cute. And the episode where Theo decides he will move out so Dr. H takes out the Monopoly money and shows him how much things cost—classic!! The Hecks of The Middle are also a great tv family because they are much less perfect and true to life and so funny (check it out if you haven’t)…one of my favorite lines is “he’s the 3rd child, he’s lucky we feed him!” If you haven't watched either of these shows and you are a parent, you really should check them out.
Anyway, here is funny stuff my kids have said lately:
Oldest (daughter), 9—I told her she needs to write thank you notes for all the fun stuff she’s done this Summer to the various family members I begged to keep her and take to do fun stuff since we were working our tails off all Summer. She asked me, “like text them?” no “like Facebook them” NO—like get out your stationery and write a note BY HAND (she tried the “I’ll type it on the computer and email it”) and thank them for taking you all over God’s creation so you wouldn’t have a completely pathetic Summer since all your parents did was work all Summer—and address it BY HAND and stamp it and mail it. She looked at me like I had 6 heads! It took 2 weeks, but I'm happy to say we got those in the mail yesterday!
I was talking to my girls about going to school and how we need to get up earlier next week and I said I’ll walk you in the first day of Kindergarten, so the Oldest says “but you’ll be in your nightgown!” No, I said, "I won’t actually go inside the building in my nightgown, just in the car line…" Thanks for calling me out on that one honey!!
Middle (daughter), 5—she’s really pretty good at sports and as the Hubs takes out our son to play catch in anticipation of his upcoming Tball season, she wants to play catch too. She comes in and announces “I caught the ball and threw the ball a MILLION times! I’m an expert now!” LOL
Now daddy wants her to play tball too, so I asked her if she wanted to play baseball too. Her response cracks me up! “well, what do we wear?” a uniform “is it pink?” no “can I wear a dress” NO “can I wear a crown” NO. “then I guess I don’t play baseball!” That’s my GIRL!
Youngest (son), 3—his sisters had been out of town with Grandma for a week and he was super excited to tell them all about what they missed at home. He hadn’t been feeling good, saying his tummy hurt all day. He was on my lap cuddling b/c his tummy was hurting and suddenly puked—just a little but all over me of course. We cleaned it all up and both changed, etc. Then about 2 minutes later, he jumped up and said “I’ve gotta tell Sissies!”, ran into the other room and announced in his nanny-nanny-boo-boo voice “I threw up” complete with tongue sticking out. Like they would be jealous…
I have lots of pictues, all over the house, not too many new ones (on my to do list), but lots of old pictures, like of us in college, wedding pictures, etc. Son looks at one up high and asks me who that is, so I get it down for a closer look. He says "I know that's mommy, but who is that man?" I said, "that's daddy", he said "HE HAD HAIR??!!"
