Knocked up

No, I am not knocked up! My dear, sweet husband has been tivoing movies on HBO/Cinemax since this has been a free preview weekend. He was informing me of the movies that he has recorded for us to watch (and several for the kids) when he casually states, "I'm getting knocked up tonight." I also casually reply, "Really, I didn't know that you could do that." That would have made the last kid easier for me. He then realized what he said and laughed.

Joke of the day

Pumpkin Pie has recently gotten into telling corny jokes. I thought I would share the joke that she told us today.

Pumpkin Pie: What did the digital clock say to his mommy?



Answer: Look ma, no hands!

Come back

We had an outing today and stopped by Target on the way home. Matt commented that something was not surprising (I can't remember what now). My more serious child, Pumpkin Pie comments, "Yeah, your surprisingly not smart." Matt was very proud of her witty comeback at him and so was I.

Garbage

Matt took the girls to the "dump" with him today. Sweet Pea expressed concern about where the trash goes. Matt explained that it would go in the mountain and disintegrate over time (remember she is little and does not understand everything yet). She replied that she did not want it to go in the mountains. Matt replied that they might take it to a desert then. Sweet Pea then sweetly said, "I don't want it to go to the desert because it would stink and the camels would run away." I think she may turn into an engineer! She has such a need to create and fix the problems that she sees and by golly, we need to save those camels from stinky trash!

Your Hair

I have had to work over some this week because school has started and a lot of parents/teachers/kids are already feeling overwhelmed. Anyway...
I pulled in the driveway yesterday and the kids came running. Sweet Pea hopped up on my lap as soon as I opened the car door. I loved on her for a minute and then asked if we could go inside. She replied: "Just let me smell your hair first." She smelled that deep, intense breathe and then said that she was all better and could make the transition into the house then.
I just found her innocence to be so sweet and I know that it will not last much longer.

Our bedroom

Here are a few pictures to show off what we have accomplished with our bedroom. I haven't bought the shower curtain yet because I haven't found one that I really like. I also don't have the pictures up and we are going to purchase a love seat to go in the empty corner in our room. Let me know what you think.

Happy Boomsday!

Yeah, I know it is technically the day after boomsday but we have been so busy. Friday night, we bought paint for our bedroom and then relaxed the rest of the evening. Saturday, we ran errands and started preparing ourselves to paint. It is a huge chore that I was sort of dreading. Sunday, we managed to clean out the garage (to prepare for the consignment sale and because it was bugging me), mowed the yard, cleaned up some toys that I had allowed the girls to leave out, and da, da, tada, we painted our bathroom and vanity. Monday, we painted our bedroom. I was inspired by my friend, Stacy. Stacy painted her living room a chocolate brown color and I loved it. This is unusual for me because I am not a brown kind of person. However, I loved it and now I have a brown room too (although mine is not as brown as Stacy's). My mom came to visit yesterday evening and the girls viewed some local fireworks being shot off in honor of Labor day.
I will post pictures of the room soon. I'm just short on time right now.

Please remember my Papaw. He is back in the hospital, AGAIN with pneumonia.

I hope everyone had a nice little break and I do plan to spend some time with friends soon as I am missing all of you (so be prepared)!
