I Think We All Deserve a Round of APPLAUSE.

I think the funniest thing my daughter ever did was scare the hell out of me.....We went to my parents for our weekly dinner, over dinner we discussed "sixth sence" which I had watched the night before. That movie scared the hell out of me!! By the time we left I was a little freaked about going back to my house with the kids all alone, and the drive through dark country roads (yeah I am a chicken). About half way home my daughter says "Look mom it is following us" all I could think about was the little kid in the movie who saw stuff out the car window. I was a little freaked but said "don't worry hunny we are almost home" She responds a little louder "NO MOM LOOK, it is right outside my window" Once again I tried to reassure her and myself by saying "It is Ok, We will be home in like five minutes" I thought everything was fine cause she stopped talking about it for about a minute then in the creepiest tone said "MMOOMM IT'S BACK" At this point I was TERRIFIED of what was out her window following us so I finally asked "What Tay, What is outside your window.......what is following us" She replies with "The moon mommy, it has followed us all the way from grandpas" I sighed a HUGE sigh of relief then realized..... I felt like a fool!!

My favorite story of my oldest daughter, who was 5yrs.old at the time. I was driving my kids to Grandma's house, we were having one of our nice talks. When all of a sudden she says,"Hey mom, I know who I'm going to marry. William, because he doesn't drink or smoke AND he goes to church, that's good, right mom?"

I laughed and laughed, and I said,"If he stays that way, of course I'd love it if you married him!"

We tell that story all the time.

Ok here's a good one for you! :)

Ah the joys of being a mom....here's yet another story of my son's antics. He will be 3 in June, his name is Sabien. So one day I decided to check my email since I hadn't yet that day. I'm in here maybe 15 minutes and Sabien was out in the livingroom playing quietly I assumed. That should've been my first clue..he was being too quiet. Next thing I know, here he is with no diaper pulling on my hand to come follow him. I go with him out to the livingroom to find he had pooped (Yes pooped!) inside his big tractor toy and on the floor next to it!! His tractor is a ride on toy and the seat flips up with a storage compartment underneath, and it apparently to him doubles as a potty chair! I'm standing there looking at this mess on my floor thinking I can't possibly be seeing this for real..but alas it was true. I'm cracking up about it after the fact but at the moment it was far from funny. But I'm proud of myself I handled it carefully because what he did is actually a good sign he's getting ready for potty training. He took his pants and pull up off completely by himself so that's a good thing, and he knew he needed to go, also a good thing..the only bad thing was the place. We'll have to work on that! I told him no more pooping in his tractor. Haha...who would've ever thought I'd ever say those words?! LOL Heaven's sake, never a dull moment when you're a mom! Anyway, just had to share that and I hope it cracked you up too. :)

I agree I was really surprised when I opened it and it was empty. Anyway... my children, my 4 wonderful children (sarcasm), woke up very early one morning, and decided that the day was right for makeovers. I don't wear makeup everyday so I have a pretty good supply of the stuff when I want it. They had been apparently, every bathroom trip been taking something different. Well me and my husband got up at 7 to get the youngest out of bed and we went back to our room to get ready for the day. 20 minutes later we came out to start breakfast and noticed a very pungent smell, we also noticed the only one in the living room was the 2 y/o. Wondering what the hell the smell was we opened the boys door and almost threw up from the smell. PERFUME, a whole bottle dumped on the floor, oh but wait there is still more, after opening the window to air out the smell, I noticed there was something all over the window and the sill, LIPSTICK. I turned to look at the kids and they were covered head to toe in every type of makeup imaginable, lipstick, eyeliners, mascara, nail polish, eye shadow, foundation, liquid mostly, and the walls were coated, pictures, finger smears, and the carpet, then the 2 y/o walked into the room and she had foundation on her pjs (which I still can't get out). Her brothers and sister looked at me and my husband and said Natasha did it. I am trying to figure out when the turnip truck came through town because then it would explain when I fell off of it. My oldest (6) said she had nothing to do with it she was trying to stop it when she was covered. Noticing the hearts around the room I knew she was lying (as if I didn't before that) she admitted to seeing my makeup bag in the bathroom and wanted to put on lipstick and it just progressed from there. Well now I have a room filled with makeup kids and no idea what to do, so I called my mom, you know what she did? Not offer to come and help clean up... she laughed at me!!! She dropped the phone, I guess this is the moment as a grandmother you want to hear, that your child actually got 4 just like her. After she calmed down she said of course cold cream and she went with my husband to pick some up as well as mr. clean magic erasers. I took pictures of all of them with my phone because I knew that my mother in law would just love to see them like this. We got them cleaned up the house still stinking from the nasty perfume and they have yet to even touch what makeup I have left, they just watch me put it on now and tell me how beautiful I am. After all of this was all over my oldest, I guess trying to salvage some of the situation says to me, we didn't use it all. She was right they didn't, my compact was still mostly intact, my guess is it wasn't as much fun as the other stuff. Sorry that was so long but it was a fun day, me and my husband think it is funny now, but boy when it happened...

That is too funny!!
My oldest has alllll of my sarcasm, last night I was "pinching" my little ones bottom after a potty trip. She ran and jump on the couch and I pointed and said "look butterfly, get it? butt-erfly??
The 7 year old , with the straightest face ever goes" a-ha-ha...ya that's not funny at all"

Love these stories, what a great idea!

Last Sunday we had just finished lunch, watching a little "Doodlebops" while getting ready for an afternoon nap. My daughter...13 mo old (g twin of b/g twins) LOVES these crazy characters, and dances to all the music they play. (me?i think they're kind of creepy, but she's one, no accounting for taste, eh?) So I call her over to me to have her diaper changed. she ignores me. 2nd, 3rd beckon, still no response. I use the remote to turn the tv off, and say "Cassidy, when you come to Mommy, I will turn the tv back on". She looks at me, walks around the basket of toys that is supposed to be 'strategically placed' in front of the tv, and turns the tv back on herelf! My husband and I had to hide our laughter, and after they were napping had to agree that we are in BIG trouble!

Well that is funny...here is mine funny tale. We had a good amount of freezing rain the other night in Northern NH and when my 5 1/2 yr old son and I got to school there was a two hour delay sign on the wall, so I dropped him off at his grandmother's house. When the time came for her to bring him she said let's walk, she lives right around the corner from the school and he is a very active child, so he said to her "there is no way in hell I am going to walk to school" she said she nearly died laughing!!!
