My children have kept me rolling lately. Which I appreciate especially on long, cold, wet, winter days when I just want to go outside and play!
I often feel like I live in the movie Groundhog Day. Each day can be very much the same.
So laughter is always a welcome distraction!
Recently, when we were on a quick errand to Target, we rushed by the lingerie section. I was on a mission to find toothpaste and trying to keep up with the crew. When Audrey stopped and pointed at a particularly risque pair of undergarments yelled, "Whoa....now that is just going too far......going way too far!" We all agreed as we erupted in laughter.
Last week we had a tough week with the funerals. So we all had a hearty laugh when Jackson ran up to my Dad right before the second funeral and informed him that " Pa- Andrew has been planning your funeral!!!". After a good laugh we assured Pa that Andrew was NOT planning his funeral, but had just been impressed with the wonderful eulogy Pa had given for Granny and was making mental notes so he could one day give just as wonderful a eulogy as Pa had. Whew!
I'll share one last funny. Just the other day we were driving home from dropping Lincoln off and I had just Jackson with me. So in an effort to have meaningful conversation with him I asked him if he would like to be a dad one day. He gave a resounding, "YES!!!" I asked him how many children he would like to have and be answered decidedly with, "20 BOYS!" "Wow!" I said, "If they are anything like you, you're going to have your hands full!" As soon as I responded that way I realized I probably should have been kinder. I have had my hands FULL with him lately and responded without thinking. He really is a sweet, ENERGETIC, loud, 100% BOY, boy! He replied without missing a beat, "No my children are going to be well mannered and well trained like my wife ___________________(here he inserted a sweet little girl we knows name)." Bless. Her. Heart!
Happy Friday!
Thank you for making me laugh today! I can just see Audrey in Target. I missed you all so much Friday. I don't care how much quieter it was...just kidding...sort of...LOL. The week before, we were counting "dinosaur" eggs (ie jelly beans) in class, and having a very good time. When it was time to leave, I asked Audrey to help collect the one's on the table. She went around saying "just hand over the jelly beans, and no one get huirt." I have laughed all week at that...
