sevenchicks

I enjoy when we all do randoms so, other chicks, tag you're it...

by bossychick~ but I will make it only 10 random things instead of the usual 25...

1- I never get tired of hearing Planner's chicklet say 'eessth', which is his version of yes, its the cutest thing I think I've ever heard, followed closely by Singer's Little Man's 'yeth'... I could literally eat both of their faces.

2- I am probably going back to work in August and am nervous/ excited/ trying to mentally prepare myself.

3- I can't wait to see what Planner's new chicklet will look like, in my head she will look just like her older brother, but a girl version, but now I think she might look like her Mimi, since Social's last chicklet didn't looklike I imagined her, and now Baby's chicklet doesn't look like I imagined him, so now I'm confused and wondering why God didn't consult me before molding these babies, they turned out beautiful but I had some beautiful imagination babies, too ( if you are gasping because you think I shouldn't suggest that God ask me anything... then stop, its just a joke)

4- I just read on FB that my friend A B, might be cutting her hair, I said ' don't do it' partly because her hair is soooo pretty its crazy... and partly because Mr. Sassy will stare her down with " I can't believe you cut off your hair, and now I'm going to stone you on the courthouse steps" in his eyes, like he did me when I saw him in church after I cut my hair... it was traumatic...

5- speaking of hair, I really wish I had the guts to dye mine the color of a certain red head at church, I love her hair so much, but I'm scared to take the plunge. ( she's probably tired of me going on and on about her hair but I lOVE it)

6- I am soooo glad that Boat Lake is open again, I only wish it didn't feel like bath water, shout out to Blue Springs where the water is 60 something degrees...

7- I'm trying not to cry, and people, I, am not a crier, because I just found out that someone I knew a long time ago is now SAVED! So I will take this moment to encourage any of you, that may have been praying for the salvation of someone, GOD ANSWERS PRAYER!, keep lifting that person up and confess that they are SAVED.

8-  I have been cooking every night for... I'm counting.... ok its been close to a month, are you proud of me? and yes, baking a ready-made sub that somebody gave you is cooking...

9- my head is starting to hurt...

10- I love the way my friend Amy laughs, it makes me almost wet my pants everytime... BOOM! (that's for Amy)

That is all, you do what I say- Bossy

lessons learned from a squirrel

by singerchick~ Today as I was taking the kids to school and then headed to work a squirrel ran out in front of me.  He was headed straight across the road, to the other side and a most certain safety.  But, for some unknown reason, he stopped and second guessed his straight path to safety. Now I'm not gonna pretend to know the thinking process of a squirrel.  I'm gonna venture a guess and say that there isn't much of one.  However, I could see his little mind working.  He was torn.  "Do I turn back or keep going?  Turn back?  Keep going?"  He continued to look one way then the other.  He had this inner struggle, his body going back and forth several times, all in about one second and then *splat*.  He was no more.  Poor squirrel.

 

Okay I did feel bad for the squirrel for a second.  Poor thing! Then God used that poor little squirrel to speak to me simply.  What he said to my heart is to stay on the straight path that you know you need to be on.  The path that God has called you to walk.  Don't let people, circumstances or in the squirrel's case, a big gold Expedition make you second guess what you know is your path.   

What's funny is last night's message was along these lines.  Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding.  Your own understanding can get you run over in the end.

the dreaded haircut

  by babychick~ We've had to give superbaby quite a few haircuts in his lifetime. Most people like the longer hair, but he doesn't have any curl to his hair so it is just stringy and looks like a mess when it is long. Well this wouldn't be a problem except for the fact that he gets fighting mad when he is held down for more than a few seconds. So scissors are out of the question, we have to buzz it with the longest guard there is. And it is still really short.

So yesterday my hubby took him to a barber in town(I didn't want to see my little man being tortured). Afterwards they came by to see me at work, and lets just say I was shocked! He is still the cutest to me though!

There is a big gap on the top of his head and if he even sees a pair of scissors he starts yelling no no!

aquaman

by singerchick~ Aquaman was so brave last Summer.  This Summer...

 
Come on Little Man, you can do it.  Jump.  Daddy will jump with you.

 
I think I'll brave the waters, but take another route.

 
Help is on the way.  Just one more minute.

 
Yikes!  It's cold but I'm in and I'm ready for battle.

 

Little Man had a super fun birthday party and yes after several tries he finally did jump off the diving board.  Of course I didn't get that shot but I'm sure they'll be lots more opportunities this Summer.

Social says...

"STOP...

 
TAKING PICTURES OF MY BELLY!"

I'm sorry.  I can't help it.  It amazes me.  :-)

chicklet chat

by socialchick~ On the way home from picking up singerchick's Big Man and Little Man and my Miss Priss from school this is the conversation I heard between Little Man and Miss Priss.

Miss Priss- When I get into the hallway I'm unbuckling my car seat.

Little Man- It isn't a hallway it's a drive thru.

I just had to sit and giggle because they both had a part of the word right. They were trying to say drive way!

why, why, why?

by socialchick~ I guess since I'm home all the time Mr. Social thinks that silly things are my fault. The chicks love to laugh at some of the things he ask "why" about, so I thought I would share a few with you.

 Why are all of the paci's missing?  Because I have stolen them from Little Sis so that I can suck on them in the middle of the night.

Why is there a pencil in Little Sis's closet?  Because I have started manufacturing pencils and I didn't want the government to find out!

Why is the van door open?  Because I wanted all of our friendly critters to have a new home!

Why is there a diaper in a pretend buggy along with a baby doll and pretend diaper bag? Because I have lost my mind and thought the baby doll had a poopy diaper?

Why is there an earwig on my side of the bed?  Because I wanted it to bite you in the middle of the night for asking me these stupid questions!

So now I ask you Mr. Social, why did we have kids?  So that you can ask me all of these stupid questions.

At least he doesn't ask me why the kitchen isn't clean or why he doesn't have any clean underwear, or what have you done all day. So I think I can handle the silly questions!

Have you ever been blamed for something silly?

america stinks

by socialchick~ Don't throw your stones yet. I literally mean that the majority of people in America stink. Let me explain.

I have been to four concerts in the past two months. Every concert that I have went to I have sat in front of, behind, or next to someone who has stunk. They have either smelled sour, like they have been outside all day, or just a huge fart. Seriously people. I know that my nose may be a little sensitive right now, but a bath does a lot of good. So here is a little lesson in hygiene before a huge event with tons of people.

1. This one is a no brainer. Take a bath before you come. A little water and a little soap can go a long way. Just using water is not a bath!

2. Wash your hair! Natural grease does not look like fixed hair. It sinks and you smell like a wet dog!

3. USE DEODORANT! Your under arms are crying out from underneath the stench. It takes 2 seconds to apply it.  Stop being lazy.

4. Wear clothes that have been washed and dried within the past month. I say dried because there is nothing like smelling a sour pair of clothes all night. If you want to be green then dry them outside!

5. A small dab of perfume or cologne is a good thing. Not a bottle of it. No one wants to sit next to a person who smells like they have been working the streets all night.

6. Make sure you keep good company. If you are with someone who stinks then help them out. Help them embrace the good smells of soap, shampoo, lotions, and perfumes. If the person you are with stinks then you might as well stink with them.

7. Last but not least. If you are feeling a little gassy then please let it out before entering into a building. If you feel the urge during the program or show then hold it until you get to the bathroom. Here is a small lesson in holding in your toots. Squeeze your butt cheeks tight and suck in. Believe me your neighbor will thank me!

Now you know how to smell good and look clean for all of your holiday events.

Just scan though a few pages, and make sure you read the captions underneath the pictures.

The site is www.peopleofwalmart.com , prepare yourself to gasp and also giggle!

one little indian

 by plannerchick ~ This past weekend was our fall festival at church, and our tiny jedi dressed up as an indian. Super baby was a cowboy (do we see a theme here, lol) My mother in law made the entire indian outfit, and she made super baby's vest, chaps, and bolo. They made a very cute pair!

Anyways, baby boy was so cute as an indian. He had a tomahawk and swung that thing like crazy. He is also walking everywhere now, and was just getting used to going long distances on Saturday. So I had to share a picture of him all dressed up along with a video of my big boy walking (plus a few spills)!

 

 

this is sewious

by socialchick~ For our fall festival at church our kids (singers and mine) are being the big bad wolf and the three little pigs. Pictures will be coming soon.

Last night we picked up the big bad wolf mask from Bossychick (who did an awesome job). Miss Priss asked if Big man was going to blow her house down. I said yeah, that is what the big bad wolf does in the story doesn't he. I told her that it is only pretend.

She then informed me that "if Big Man blows down her and little Mans house they there were going to call the Wonder Pets." And she was sewious! I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pee in my pants. I'm glad that she has tons of confidence in the Wonder Pets because "this is sewious!"
