My funny Kyle

So...my just-turned-4-year-old tags along with me often when I'm helping out with his sisters kindergarten activities.  He's been on a few field trips lately as well, and thinks he's one of the class.  Lucky for him, he's pretty big for his age, so he fits right in with the K kids.

This week, as we were going through the morning preparing to drive some of Nicoles class to the Stingray Reef at a mall in our area, he kept expressing his frustration to me about having to do things other than BE on the field trip already.

I was slightly confused when he exclaimed the following to me....then I figured out what he meant.

"Mommy.  I want to go to the FUTURE.  RIGHT NOW!!!  please."

Does' field trip' sound like 'future' to you?  It does to a 4 year old!!!

Hope you have a good day filled with a little laughter!

If nothing else...

Well, to say I've been negligent is a gross understatement. Sorry mom, since I'm sure you're the only one that checks in on this!!

So, the title of my post. If nothing else, I can come on here to post funny things that my kids say. I'm told I should just start a Twitter account for them and the things that come out of their mouth, but I'm not mobile-internet-ed yet, and that would be just one more thing to add to a busy day at the laptop. So that will have to wait for a later time.

Nicole's latest:

"Once, I tried a CARROT"

Since carrots are so horrible and all... ;)

Kyle:

(upon my phone ringing to a tune)  "Mommy - your phone is singing!"

Till the next time one of them opens their mouth...

Bakerella, is that you??

Okay, so I'm a sucker for your giveaways. So, if by chance I did win, you can reach me by leaving a comment here on the blog. And now I feel even more negligent and needing to update this thing more often... =)

Thanks!

If this is Bakerella...

So I've been totally negligent on my blog. And for that I'm sorry. I really do want to be better about keeping this updated, funny, and a glimpse into our life out here in Franklin TN for our family and friends that live across the country. But I just can't seem to keep it high enough on my list of 'to-do's' for it to ever be crossed off!!!

That said, I've entered a blog contest on one of my favorite blogs and want her to know that although I'm rarely here, I can be contacted this way if I should win.

And because you would probably do the same thing if you loved Bakerella as much as we do and a Wii was at stake!!!

So Happy New Year to all two of you that are reading this!

Hi mom.

Hey there mom. I love that I can shout this to you from the other room for two weeks. And that Nicole doesn't have to play I spy from far away in her mind to see you. She can just come and hug you and bug you - which she is totally doing all day long! I love you - thanks for having us all here even though your house is busting at the seams. It's so good to be with family.

Forever your 'baby'-

I Spy

Nicole: I spy with my little eye, something so far away that I can't  even see it.  And I love it.

Me: Well then, it would be hard for me to spy it too, if it's so far   away that we can't see it!  What is it?

Nicole:  My Grandma

Welcome Owen Joseph Gleason!!!

I'm so excited and proud I could just about burst!!

I am now the proud Auntie to Owen Joseph Gleason, born to my AMAZING sister Dayna over in Swaziland, Africa!  

Dayna and her husband are over there as missionaries for our Great God, and she just delivered her firstborn this morning.  To say that I am proud of her and impressed beyond measure would not quite be cutting it.  That woman is - well - just amazing.  I am honored to be her sister, and now honored to be Owen's aunt.  

I can't believe I'm going to have to wait 4 months to meet this little guy, when they come to the states to visit.  I'm still trying to devise a plan to get over there to meet him before that...but I'll need a passport...and a place for my kids for at least a week...and a bunch of money for the plane ticket...so I'll probably just have to be patient.  But that's not my best virtue.  

I'll be back with more another time - I'm so exhausted from being up all night praying for them and wondering how things were going halfway across the globe that I can't think straight.  At least the kids and I all have clean clothes on today. 

Congratulations Dayna & Jonathan!  I love you all so much and am so excited for you!

Auntie Crystal =)
