Tuesdays with Jack

Had to share a few cute quotes by the Man of the House...

While driving home from school the other day Jack and I were talking about the kids in his class. Out of the blue he said:
"Mom - do you know who the naughtiest person in class is? It is _____."
"What happens when someone in class is naughty?"
"They sit in a chair."
"Have YOU ever been naughty?
"Nope."
"What if they continue to be naughty?"
"They go to the kitchen." (Jack has a kitchen just off his classroom where they cook once a week)
"Have you ever been sent to the kitchen?"
"Nope. But I have gone there to wash my hands."

That's what I like to hear.


The other night Brooke was babblin' up a storm, as if she was asking questions or telling us what to do (probably the latter).
Dad asked Jack:
"Jack, do you know what Brooke is saying?"
And Jack honestly responded
"No. I don't speak that language anymore."

Out of the mouths of babes...babes getting bigger every second...

Go Bulldogs!

We traveled to Indy Saturday to see the Butler Bulldogs play basketball. Andy's friend and teammate from college, Micah Shrewsberry, is an assistant with BU and invited us over for the game.


This was our 1st basketball game of the season and everyone loved it. Especially Brooke - as long as you kept the popcorn coming.


This is Will cheering with the BU Cheerleaders. He said he wanted to go down and get his picture taken with them. Hmmm...

Thanks to Coach Shrewsberry for the tickets and to the whole Shrewsberry Family for their hospitality!

Is It Even Possible...

...to be this adorable in simply your winter coat and hat, standing by the dryer?!

It sure is!

What do your kids think of you?

I know what one of mine thinks of me...

Jack brought home a project from school today...

"The 5 Senses of Thanksgiving"

And he wrote...

On Thanksgiving I see deer.
On Thanksgiving I smell pumpkin pie.
On Thanksgiving I touch Grandma.
On Thanksgiving I taste pumpkin pie.
And...
On Thanksgiving I hear Mom talking on the phone.

Wow. I am hands-down leader for "Mom of the Year" in Jack's class.

Right next to the mom that has the kid that wrote
"When I am 18 I want to be Darth Vader."

At least my kid wants to be a pilot...with his mom on the phone.

Will on Wednesdays

Yet another edition of Will on Wednesday. This kid is crazy-funny.

When we asked the boys this weekend what they wanted for Christmas Jack responded with some kind of Transformer trading card-thingy I have to relocate in Target. Fair enough.

Know what Will wants?

"I want a whale."

Hmmm. Ok. Where are we going to keep this whale?

"In the backyard."

Hmmm. We have no pool, but ok. Why do you want a whale?

"Because when it blows water out of the hole in the top of his head, it makes me happy."

Honey, diamonds make Momma happy but I don't think I'm getting that either. Better have a back up plan.

Then yesterday as we are driving to run errands, this little voice from the back says:

"Look Mom. It's Bob Heavens."

Yes, dear. Momma thinks Bob EVANS is heaven on earth, too.

Gotta love that kid!

Look Out World...

They're coming to your town to ward off evil.
If you need 'em, just call.
They will be there in a flash.
They are "the good guys."
Trying to get "the bad guys."

Amazing what 2 imaginations and $4.25 at WalMart can do.
