Notebooks...

Ok, so I seriously think that I need to start carrying around a notebook everywhere I go. If for no other reason at all, I will write down every single funny things that my kids say! When it happens, I swear with out a doubt that it was so funny that I will never forget it. Then...2 seconds later, they open their mouths again and top the last funny thing they said, resulting in me forgetting both things!

I think that "E" is going to be just as funny, if not more so, as "I" is. Tonight, we had Back to School night at the kiddos school, yay what fun! That means that our summer as we know it, is officially over. We start back to school Thursday. Ugh, not impressed. More on that later..Back to my story. So, the thing was from 6-8ish, but we had to be there early to take care of a few things first. Well, there is no way we can (or would want to for that matter) eat dinner and be at the school by 5:30, so we just plan to grab something on the way home. After the meeting was over, we were invited by some friends to hit up the local pizza joint so we headed that way. On the way, I have flashbacks of the last time we met these friends at this pizza place. It did not end well. The kids were all acting like wild animals and running around and their little girl fell while holding a glass cheese shaker and it busted and cut her all up. We got her cleaned up and bandaged, finished our meal and rushed out, agreeing that meeting there with the kids was bad luck. So...I mention this while paying for our food and we laugh.

We had no more sat down with our food, when their middle child starts coughing and hacking and ends up puking. Yay! At the table. But not to worry, we have 5 kids, we have seen everything so we continue to eat and go about our business, no biggie. Our friends start packing up their food to go and the oldest boy, age 6, "I's" best buddy, looks at his dad and asks, "Where's my food?" to which his dad responded, "I packed it up, we will eat at home." Right at that very moment, I could see that "I" and his buddy were about to go into full meltdown mode, so we volunteered to let him eat with us then bring him home. No one heard me the first time, so I said, "Why don't you let him stay here and eat with us and we will bring him home after we are finished, no biggie. I do not want "I" and "G" to have a cow." Everyone was minding their own business, they agreed and left. Not too much time had passed before "E" looked at me and said in his sweetest most serious little voice, "We gone have cows in he-uh (here)? Mommy? We gone have cows in he-uh?" Needless to say, the hubs and I looked at each other and nearly cracked up.

These kids keep us on our toes for sure! Man I love them!
