The Nashville Cats: I can do this!

I can do this!

Somedays I think there is no way we can have more kids, I'm way too tired, and emotionally drained to do this again someday. Then on days like today I think I can do this, I'm not crazy for wanting more kids eventually. It was a pretty normal day we just went to Target and got things for Devin to start preschool so we made some big purchases like crayons, glue sticks, oh and a new shirt that was $3 so he thought he was hot stuff. When we got home he was so cute and said, "I can't believe we got me things today." and then about 10 minutes later said,"I can't take the smile off my face today." I almost cried because he was so grateful for the the small little things he got today. He made my day great and reminded me how awesome it is to be a mom.

I love these cuties!

You totally can rock the Mom thing at least 3 more times... :) Or however many more you want. You're a great Mom!; August 10, 2012 at 11:31 PM

Funky Sayings

When I asked Graham who was in charge today he raised his hand and said, "me"
As I was putting Graham down for a nap he looked up and said, "Me not tired EVER." Nice try.
On the way home from a mother/son activity I was asking Devin a few questions and I guess he had enough because he finally said, "Mommy can you not talk to me right now?"
When Shawn walked passed the kids coloring today he overheard Devin say, "I"m coloring a machine and it poops, and poops." Boys will be boys I guess.
Caroline says to me today, "How about we go shopping just the two of us while dad is on vegitation." Me, "You mean vacation?" Caroline, "Oops, yeah."
Yesterday Caroline asked if Graham was made of plastic. In response Devin said, "No he's made of boy."
As we were sitting down to enjoy some chocolate chips Devin said, "I like chocolate chips, they make me feel good."
Devin was in his room for a time out. When I opened the door to talk to him he ran over slammed the door in my face and said, "I'm not ready to talk yet." He's good at expressing his feelings.
A few days ago when I called Devin by his full name (Devin Michael) he looked at me and said, "No me Michael, me Devin." He's funny.
When I told Devin he needed to share his toy with Caroline he replied, "But I love it." Apparently he thought that meant he didn't have to share it. Sorry kid.
