I'm Sorry to Anyone Who Actually Reads this Blog...

but yet another crack up from my littlest one. This time as she brushes my hair...

"Ok, now you look pretty. Let me get my Barbie that looks prettier. You have to look like her."

I have about 10 more posts in my head to write, that I'm sure would be more enjoyable to read but, alas, this blog is for me to keep record of the kiddos. I hope to one day to get more thoughts down.

More Isms~Audrey & Sean

Today we were heading out to Norris Reservation for a walk with the Caff's. As I'm yelling for all the kids to get their shoes on, Audrey replies, "Mom, do I have to wear sneakers? I only like fancy shoes."

Yesterday Sean reminded me of something mean I said on a REALLY bad day. I was heading out the door and asked him to come with me so I could talk to him about it. During the conversation I stated that I would be 90 years old some day and still feel guilty for saying what I had said. His response, "Mom, just erase it from your mind. That's what I do?" If only it were that easy!

Audreyism of the Day

While sitting on the middle school lawn watching Sean at Archery Camp. "You're not old, you're just fat. I still love you, though."

Crazy, Busy and Another QOTD by Audrey

We have been crazy, busy around here this month. Between the onslaught of spring sports~soccer for two, lacrosse for one, baseball for two~, including a husband who coaches, the twins birthday and a First Communion we are out straight around here. I am just trying to keep my head above water getting the kids where they need to go, getting homework/projects done and remembering appointments. I'm really not doing that well at any of it, but it all is getting done to some degree.

There's so much I want to write about about the twins birthday and the First Communion~both of which went really well and was so special for all involved. I just don't feel I have the time to spend. Hopefully one late night soon.

In the midst of all of this, Audrey continues to spew her unbelievable quotes. Today, while watching Little Bill in the family room, she came out to the kitchen where I was working on the computer. Apparently I didn't look happy because she asked me what was wrong. Me, "I'm just working on the bills and I'm frustrated because your brother isn't cooperating with me." Her, "I'm frustrated because I hate Little Bill."

Hopefully more soon on other parts of life!

Audreyism of the Day

Before I started writing this blog I wrote all the memories I wanted to keep on my computer. I started the blog because I liked the idea of the layout and it seemed easier to keep organized. Unfortunately, I am not as funny of a writer as some of the writers of other blogs I read. I would love to get to that point some day.

What I do have (and I know I probably blog people to boredom writing about) are five kids who crack me up almost on a daily basis with the things they say. Sean's wit warranted his own special titles and I named his funny comments "Seanoisms of the Day". Audrey is the same, so I now have "Audreyisms of the Day". I still keep some things I want to remember on that separate journal, but thought I should share some of these "isms" because they can be so funny at times.

The other day while sitting in the dining room I heard Brendan yell from the hallway "mom, Audrey's writing on the wall with a green crayon". Followed very quickly after by Audrey in a whisper "shhhh, don't tell her something." I am in so much trouble with this girl!
