Some things you need to remember...

It's no secret that I haven't kept up on the blogging very well lately, but since we still have no camera, I blame it mostly on that. However there are a few things that need to be remembered for later, and sometimes, being a parent is the best job in the world. The things you hear out of your children's mouths for example...

A few weeks ago, Russ had come home for lunch, and had gone over to the fridge, gotten out a carton of juice and swigged the last of it...meanwhile, I'm saying, "Russ...you should get a cup..." and before I can even say anything more, I hear Jackson pipe in, saying, "Yeah, dad, 'cause I'm watching you, and I will probably do whatever you do so you shouldn't do things like that." Um, no more words needed to be said after that reprimand!!

Tonight was a different story...one that I'm afraid of more to come! I had taken the boys to Golden Spoon for a treat (mostly for me!) while Russ was at Young Mens, and we were outside, enjoying our yogurt and the nice weather...when a very overweight man walked by us. (In Max's defense, of what is to come, this poor man looked extremely uncomfortable and was having a hard time even walking...) Anyway, the next thing out of my two year old's mouth is, "Mom, he wearing fat pants?" I still pray to the heavens that this man did not hear him, and I did my best to try and not make too big of deal out of it, (and not die of laughter at his innocence at the same time!) but what was I to say?!

Kids are just awesome aren't they??!! HA! Love that Jackson laid the SMACK down to Russ! Hilarious! And Max and the "fat pants"....Oh my gosh! I would have DIED if Brooklyn or Madelyn said that! But...ya know...kids have a way of stating the VERY obvious at the WORST possible time!

I'm glad to see a post from you!! What happened to your camera pal?

Fat pants? Said only as a child can say it, I'm sure! What I want to know is where has he heard about fat pants?
