Saying of the day....

"Momma, kiss me...right now!"

Two cuties....

first one...Hayden is playing with my phone and looks around at me and says "Hey Momma, I'm texting!"  Really...should 2 year olds even have a clue what that is??

second one...Mom and I were driving down the road today and we were talking non-stop as usual.  I could hear Hayden in the back saying the same thing over and over...I finally figured out what he was saying "Stop Please Talking!"  hehehehe!!

Let's Go To The Car

So Hayden came over and layed his head down on my leg and asked me if we could go to the car.  I asked him why he wanted to go the car and he said cause he wanted to go to sleep!  (He knows when we go pick up the kids from school he usually falls asleep---apparently he is sleepy!)

Baked Zucchini and Mac 'n Cheese

So I made this recipe tonight.  I got it from here.  It was pretty good, but wasn't quite cheesy enough for me.  Obviously when you are used to Kraft Mac-n-Cheese in a box (not the 50 cent box, but the Deluxe kind), then homemade Mac-n-Cheese takes a little getting used to.  Frank and Conner really liked it (even with the zucchini in it).  Hayden wouldn't try it, but he is on a kick of eating ONE thing on his plate and that is it, so that was the hot dog that I fixed him...LOL!  And Mari Cate slept through dinner...and is still asleep!!  She was at a slumber party last night and went swimming today, so it got the best of her.  Anyway, there was plenty for leftovers for whoever will eat them tomorrow after church.

How long??? (to be read with a very whiney voice here)

Mari Cate:  Mom, how many things do you have to buy at Walmart?

Me:  Mari Cate, if I tell you 5 things and I buy 6 you will get upset at me, so why should I bother telling you?

Mari Cate:  Mommmmm!  How long will we be in Walmart?

Me:  Two hours.

Mari Cate:  Two hours???!!!

Me:  Yeah, two hours....that way if it only takes us 1 hour, you will be happy!! 

Here I Go Again...

No I am not singing a Dolly Parton song, but I am starting another new blog.  I was so good at blogging a few years ago, but life got so busy with a new baby that I just couldn't keep up.  So I thought I would try it again.  We'll see.  I mostly just wanted a way to capture bits and pieces of my kids lives and have them recorded somewhere and share them with my family, especially those who live so far away! : (

So bear with me while I make it "all pretty", and get everything in place, but continue to check back often!

So my first "capture" was yesterday (although I am sure I will go back and fill you on many more!).  I was driving to meet my parents for breakfast and was flipping through the radio stations.  Conner and Mari Cate were in school of course, so it was just Hayden and me.  Obviously since Mari Cate is a 10 (almost 11) year old girl, she is into Taylor Swift, and I really don't have a problem with that.  So anyway, I wasn't even paying attention to the songs and Hayden yells out "that Mari Cate's song?" so I listened and sure enough it was Taylor Swift singing "Love Story"...how does a 2 year old know that???  And since I kinda like it too, I am gonna share it with you. : )
