Heart Stopping
Trying to get my run in on the treadmill. A little appears like a ninja, scares me, tells me he can’t find his brothers...anywhere! 😳
Fly off the treadmill, run through the house, take the stairs three at a time.
Found them. They’re still in bed.
👦🏼:”Oh, I didn’t look there.”
Good Luck With That
👦🏼:”Men are all taller than their wives.”
👱🏻♀️:”Ya, mostly, I guess.”
👦🏼:”Ohhh, that’s because men do all the work around the house.”
👱🏻♀️:😳🤨
👦🏼:🥺
👦🏼:”Well, I mean, you do some things too.”

Close One
One of our littles has the sniffles lately from allergies. Yesterday, I see him rubbing his ear...
👱🏻♀️:”Your ear bothering you?”
👦🏼:”Ya. It really hurts.”
👱🏻♀️:”Oh, man! When did that start?” Fearing a trip to the doctor.
👦🏼:”When I bent over and hit it on the corner of the desk.”
Privacy Please
Just gave my little a bath. Run the water, help him in, wash his hair, hand him a wash cloth for his bits and pieces.
👦🏼:”MOM! IM DONE!”
👱🏻♀️:”Ok.”
Help him dry off.
👱🏻♀️:”You’re clothes are on your bed.”

Last Place For First Place
👦🏼:”Hey, don’t steal my cheese puffs!”
👱🏻♀️:”It looked like you had too many in your bowl. I was trying to help.”

👱🏻♀️:😳
Whatever
👦🏼:”Can I get some juice, please?”
👨🏻:”Sure. I’ll get it.”
👦🏼:”Thank you, Dad. Although, you’re not quite as fast as Mom, she’s like a ninja.
👨🏻:”Oh, sorry.”
👦🏼:”Must be because you’re so buff.”
Hubby is still flexing. 🙄
No Words
👱🏻♀️:”What are you eating?”
👦🏼:”My vitamin. I got it by myself.”

Living Dangerously
Me after talking and talking...

👱🏻♀️:🤨
I'm Listening
Hubby just put a ribeye in the oven for dinner.
👨🏻:”I’m taking the boys to the park for a bit. When the timer goes off....” his voice trails off in the distance.
I think I’m suppose to do something with the timer, and temperature or something. I don’t know, I was gone at park.

Pinch Those Chubby Cheeks
I often tell my boys that they are so cute I could just eat them!
My little says...
👦🏼:”Mom you are so cute I could just eat you!”
👱🏻♀️:”Aww, sweet boy.”

That’s where it got weird.

👦🏼:”Yes, I’ll read that, but first I want to tell you something.”
👩🦱:”Sure.”
👦🏼:”These classes are 45 minutes, but you go over that time everyday. Sometimes I just leave when you do that.”
Mom!
From now on when my boys yell ‘MOM!’, I’m gonna follow it up with “is amazing!” or “is a rock star!”
Think of all the positive self talk that will take place all day.
👦🏼:”MOM!”
👱🏻♀️:”Is a genius.”
And Take Your Time
Hubby leaving for the grocery store...
🧑🏼🦱:”Can I come?”
👦🏼:”And me too?”

Ignorance Is Bliss
I’ve have finally learned that when I see one of my boys walk by naked, holding their underwear way out in front of them with fingers like tweezers....DO NOT ASK!
You're Welcome
👱🏻♀️:”Hey, I made you!”
👦🏼”No, God made me. You just gave me a ride.”
😳
Awesome, I’m an Uber.
I tried to show a little clout
Throwing my figurative weight about
I stood firm with the child
He was being a bit too wild
I said to him listen to me
I'm the one who created thee
But the kid did not abide
Instead just thanked me for the ride

Lil' Genius!
Homeschooling: Social Studies
👱🏻♀️:”So, scarcity is when you cannot get the product that you want and have to either settle for a different product or nothing at all. Make sense?”

Shaking My Head
👦🏼:”Mom, you’re lucky.”
