Things My Son Has Taught Me

1. Always check to make sure there are no swords in your bed before bedtime.

2. Star Wars guys are family.  So they have to eat dinner with us too.
 
3. Guns are cooler than swords.  Light Sabers are cooler than guns.  Red light sabers are the best.

4. In a battle between Lightening McQueen and Darth Maul, Darth Maul wins every time.  Hands down.

 

5. Check the stairs for a car crash before carrying a baby downstairs.

Wordless Wednesday: Reason #3212 I LOVE our new house.... $1 Cupcake Tuesdays

Where have a I been, you ask? Moving.

And moving sucks. 


Moving with three kids?  Suckier. 


If it wasn't for my sister watching the kids, my awesome brothers in law, my nephew, and my husband's best friends, I would have had a nervous breakdown. 


I know that this move is good for us.  Having twice the size is making a huge difference for my family, and it's only been two weeks.  Still.... When you are looking at this at 10 pm after working since 5 am, you want to curl into the fetal position and sob like a newborn. 



Still, 2 U-haul trips later, we were moved in.  Mostly.  And we only broke one thing -- my toe. 


(Please ignore the fact that I am in desperate need of a pedicure.  And my sister says I probably just jammed it.)

Again, much thanks to my sister for dealing with my frantic texts at 10:30 pm.  She diagnosed me and treated me via text (tape and ice).  Then she told me to suck it up and go to bed -- I was done for the weekend. 


(Oh well, I wasn't going to eat those veggies anyway.)

Boyo made sure that I put my feet up the next day. 


(People with broken toes don't have to unpack -- so it's not jammed.  It's BROKEN.)

What the hell did I get myself into?

Gosh, Momma, this looks complicated.

Move aside, ladies, I got this.

Done!

It's hard to be upset about this...

When I have this staring at me in the car....

This Just Isn't Enough...

 

I need to find one that says: "SLOW DOWN OR I WILL RUN AFTER YOUR CAR AND THROW SODA BOTTLES AT YOU FOR PUTTING MY KIDS IN DANGER!"

Once A Pie A Time....

Overheard at our house....

Girlie to her brother:  Once a pie a time, a bad pirate came.  He was very naughty.  Then, um, he got stuck.  So the superheroes came to rescue him from the wacky scientist. 

Boyo, picking up where she left off: One day, the bad pirate changed into a boy and girl.  The wacky scientiest trapped the superheroes under water.

Girlie: But they got out by using their super powers.  And they took the boy and girl to their parents.  Because they knew their names and you only go with people who know Mommy and Daddy's names.  And the prince and princess came!!

Boyo: And they all went to college!!

Girlie: The End!
