....and you said WHAT?!

"Momma, I'm gonna' call you Momma Jo."  "I pinch my teacher on the hiney." "I tee-tee. Change me."

All of these I have heard this week....all of these made me stop and say, "WHAT?! What did I just hear?!"  These children are such little entertainers...and so busy. My mother always says, "I just don't remember mine being THAT busy...but perhaps it is because you were not THAT close in age." By the way, can you guess which child said what from above?

Faith was the one that gave me the new name. It was completely out of the blue. Sometimes I wonder what she is sitting there thinking, and, at other times, I think that I would rather NOT know. Cam was the little devil, who shared that he pinches people...specifically his teacher...in inappropriate places. I was certainly hoping that I heard him wrong...and then I was just hoping that he was teasing.  He WAS teasing....not about doing it, unfortunately...but he considered the little pinch a joke of sorts. :0  As for Mallory, she is the one that demands to be changed on cue. Everyone always told me that Mallory would be easiest...Yeah. Right. Mallory is so strong willed. She is certainly ready and old enough to be potty trained. She will even take spells where she WANTS to be...it's just going to take some work...someone stern...and right now, I do not have the time nor the energy. Maybe we will tackle that task during Christmas break. If not, we will get to it this spring or summer. I am not going to push it. I'm definitely not the mom I was a year or so ago.....freaking out about training Faith and Cam.

On to the past weekend....

It was a busy one, of course. Friday night, we celebrated my birthday AGAIN (I love having a birthday MONTH) at Margaret's.  I found myself striking back off to Athens in an effort to finish up Halloween costumes Saturday morning. The kids had a sleepover with Pat and YaYa Saturday night, which allowed me to go to the tractor/truck pull. Now, this is not my kind of thing....BUT....it's Cody's type of thing, and I have not even attempted to go since that dreadful spring night that I dislocated my knee in route there. So, I felt rather obligated to go...but I am glad that I did. Cody won 1st place in some class or another. Go DADDY! Sunday, I helped give a shower for a good friend. Faith decided to hang back with the ladies, but Mallory and Cam wanted no part and went with Daddy. WHEW....so it's now almost mid-week again!!!!!!!!

Halloween is just around the corner.....I promise pics....and I am sure a funny story or two. ;)
