Gabrielle asked if we should get the ants outside for "to eat"???, after I was done gagging, I tried to explain to her that we don't eat those here...well, mom doesn't anyway.
I made a pork roast for dinner, sophie asked"is this donkey sega (meat)???"
No, we don't let the toilet OVERFLOW, lock the bathroom door and try to bale water while dad is trying to get into the bathroom. And yes, when that happens, we ALL clean the poop and water off the floor and scrub the bathroom...eeeeeeeewwwwwwwww
Joseph, mushing bananas in your hair is not a new hair product and yes mama will wash your hair when you do this, like it or NOT!
Joseph: going downstairs on your butt after you have stripped yourself naked will hurt your bottom. No padding, NO fun.
99 degrees in the shade, run for an hour playing kickball with towels wrapped around you after swimming while everyone else is sweating...priceless
The glue sticks we have been practicing gluing paper with is not another CHAPSTICK product!!!
Took the big road trip through South Dakota with all 6
NEVER underestimate the equestrian skills of your adopted 5 year old. On the pony rides in South Dakota, Caleb took the reins and the leather and smacked the pony to giddy up, while rearing up in the round pony walker, Caleb was giving it the ol' yeeeee haaaa!!! The ranch worker was NOT impressed. We tried not to giggle as we were telling Caleb that was a NO. He grinned and said donkey yes.
Traveling every day in the car we were asked if this was 'America". The answer was yes every day, at Mount Rushmore, Yes Yes, Yes. We are still in America.
Every day, HUNDREDS of times a day driving we were asked "is this vacation?", Vacation?, Is this still vacation?. Who vacation?, Where is vacation?
The road trip was short but fun. THe kids were so well behaved. They are probably saving it up for mama when papa goes back to work. Their favorite vacation time was the hotel pool with the 2 story water slide. NO FEAR!
Getting school backpacks ready for 6 keeps life interesting. All names on all school supplies. All are SO excited about school. School is in 28 days but WHO's counting???
