He's the Devil!

We've had a little bit of Drama in our house lately.

Kyla and Eli kind of got into it the other day.  This is how it went:

Kyla: "Eli you're the Devil!"
Eli: "Oh, you mean I'm devilishly handsome?" said with a huge grin on his face!

Good way to change the mood in the house Eli!

Disturbing!

My oldest boy is now in 5th grade which mean they have the big "maturation" presentation. 

Caleb brought home a permission slip to attend and so I signed it knowing that Tony and I would talk to him before it happened so he wouldn't be so blindsided!:)

The note said it was supposed to be on Thursday, but when I picked Caleb up from school Wednesday he said that they had it that day instead.  So much for talking to him first!

Anyway, I asked him how it was and he said "It was disturbing", which made me giggle.  I told him Tony and I would talk to him and answer any questions he has later that night. 

Well, we had  a busy night and weren't able to sit down and talk, but Tony was able to talk to him for just a few minutes before bedtime and he told me about their conversation.  It went something like this:

Tony: "So Caleb, how was your program today?"
Caleb: "It was kind of disturbing."
Tony: "What made it disturbing?"
Caleb: "They were all talking to us about our tenticles."

Tony got a chuckle out of that and talked to him a little bit about the "boy parts" and that he is not an octopus!:)

Oh, the joys of growing up!!!

I pity the fool!:)

I thought I'd better get down a few things that Rhett has said the last couple of weeks that have totally cracked me up before I forget about them.

We were eating breakfast the other day and treated our kids with orange juice (we don't have it very often). 

Rhett took a big drink and then asked, "Mom, do I have orange lips?"

Me: "Nope."

Rhett, "Good, cause then I'd look like a fool!"

And...

We've let our kiddo's hang around in their pajamas most of the break unless we were planning on going somewhere.  So, Rhett had taken a bath and put on clean pajamas.  He slept in them that night, kept them on all day the next day, and then slept in them that next night as well.

On that second day Tony said to Rhett: "Rhett, you've been in those jammies for 2 days now!"

Rhett: "I know Dad.  Pretty cool huh?!"

And...

On Christmas morning we let our kid's look at their santa stuff and then open their gifts from Grandpa & Grandma Wilson (they sent up $ and we decided they were all in need of new Sunday clothes and since Christmas fell on Sunday it was perfect!) before we went to church. 

As Rhett was opening one of his presents he pulled out his new white shirt and exclaims, "Awww...I don't like sunday shirts."

WHAT A CHARACTER!

More Fall Fun!

Here's the pumpkin's Kyla and I made.  I think they turned out pretty cute!!  And so super inexpensive...they are made out of Toilet Paper rolls, newspaper, material, sticks, and rafia...cute + easy + inexpensive = LOVE!!:)  Got the idea HERE!

And then here's my little Rhett...the carrot lover!  Especially if he gets to pick them straight from the garden!  He was especially excited about the really big one.  What a cutie patootie!!

Kyla's Cross Country

Kyla decided to try her hand at Cross Country this year!  I was a little apprehensive about it, didn't know if it would be something she would enjoy or not, but she has really liked it and is doing a pretty good job.  They had their first meet on Friday the 2nd of Sept. and there were a lot of runners!!  It was a mile and a half run and was her first race and the longest she'd ever ran (although she didn't run the entire way, but she said it was pretty close). 

Here's Kyla before the race started

And here's Kyla going to the finish line!

She finished the mile and a half in around 23 minutes.  She said her goal was not to finish last (which she didn't:)) and to improve her time each race!

Good job girl!!
