2 Prayer Requests

1. For the safe delivery of baby Stellan today. Please pray for MckMama!

2. For safe travels as we drive to New Orleans tonight.

Thanks!

Payback

At least I think my mom would call it payback. I did get an award for asking the most questions at camp when I was 13.

SPIDERman from the backseat while we're driving home from work: "Mommy, is driving fun?"

Me: "I used to think driving was fun when I was younger."

SPIDERman: "Well, do you think it's fun now?"

Me: "Sometimes it's fun."

SPIDERman: "Is it fun today?"

Oh, the joys of an inquisitive and particular 4 year-old!

Not Not Me Monday...

I DID NOT not post a Not Me Monday after being so into it the past two weeks. Oops.

Anyways another Precious Moment to report:

I was drying THEstinker's hair off after his bath with a red towel and SPIDERman says "He looks like Little Red Hiding Hood!" He didn't know why I was laughing so hard but it was so cute!

Speaking of cute...

Not Me! Monday - Take two!

I DID NOT eat a candy corn on my computer desk that has been there for at least 2 weeks (that's the last time we bought it).

I DID NOT drink 4 large Diet Pepsi's during the day on Saturday which did NOT cause me to stay up til after midnight Saturday and wake up before 6 am since I hardly ever drink caffeine.

I DID NOT wake up before 6 am on a morning when the kids spent the night at Grandpa's therefore I could have slept in at least til 9!

I DID NOT let my 4 year-old eat FOUR popsicles today because he remembered his manners each time and asked so politely.

I DID NOT have just as much fun as my son at his friend's 5th birthday party at Monkey Joe's! I love those slides! Even though Monkey Joe is kind of crazy-looking, what kind of monkey is that tall and skinny? and purple?

Precious Moments

After I put SPIDERman to bed, I walked by THEstinker's room and this is what I heard coming from his crib: "E-I, E-I, Quack! Quack!" So adorable!

Not that anyone reads my blog, but can you guess what song he was singing in his own words?...

Dinner Popsicles

My kids love popsicles. They have one every night in the bathtub - hey easier clean-up! Even my 21 month-old can say popsicle although it's more like "postible". So I decided to make dinner popsicles tonight. Check them out!

SPIDERman loved the idea and eating them, THEstinker was not as crazy about them but he still ate it. I thought they were beautiful!

I DID NOT smell THEstinker's swim diaper after his (10 minute) swim lesson to see if it smelled like pee or if it could be dried out and used for the next day's lesson. That would be gross!

I DID NOT let my kids stay at a family party until 10:00 PM!!!! If you know me, you know I would never do this because a regular bed time is important!

I DID NOT go through the drive-through at McDonald's and not order myself anything because I am trying to lose weight and then proceed to finish off what they didn't eat of their happy meals!

I DID NOT go to the party store to buy a specific costume, Venom, the black costume since he already has the red one, for SPIDERman and come home with 3 costumes instead. And I most certainly DID NOT justify buying the extra 2 by claiming that I cannot ever find dress-up clothes for boys, only girls, and the ninja was only $5!

And said Venom costume did not put body-builder muscles on my 4 year-old!

My husband DID NOT tease me by holding a frog in my face and saying "Say hi to your friend" and I DID NOT scream at the top of my lungs and probably scare the neighbors. Not me. And I was not still laughing at myself 10 minutes later and SPIDERman did not ask me so adorably "Mommy, are you still laughing at yourself?"

I AM NOT supposed to be in bed right now instead of on the computer and I DID NOT thoroughly enjoy creating my first NOT ME post!
