Parking.

. . . and just look what ended up next to my nice, new van at Target.  Would he dare put his Truck in this "predicament"?  To borrow a line from John Pinette, "I say, Nay, Nay".

Chocolate milk.

How does a 4 year old fix himself a cup of chocolate milk?

Puts chocolate in the gallon of milk and then pours himself some. 

I'm sitting with the kids next time.

 Adult Table = BORING!!

Kid's Table = FUN!!!

Ben's old stomping ground

We had a swim meet in Scottsboro today.  This is Ben's old stomping ground.  He still holds a couple of records at the pool.  Must be something about the water because Ally had a great meet.  Maybe because it was inside and there were no butterflies???

John's Birthday

As I have said before, you never know what you are going to get when you have us all together.

So, Happy Birthday John and here goes:

 . . . it doesn't help that he has several grandchildren that like to encourage him!

I'm swaggerin'.

I'm just that cool.  I have a swagger wagon.  Really thought I'd be leaving the soccer mom image in the dust and be styling in a crossover of some sort.  But, the idea of kids climbing over and back a million times a day didn't really excite me.  Plus, this is a really cool van.  Rides nice, smells nice, doesn't have unidentifiable goo on the ceiling and crusty stuff in the cup holders in the back.

Has bluetooth so I can drive like "test track" and talk on the phone.

Has a DVD player, but I'm holding off on whether or not it is a positive or negative.   Will there ever be a time when my kids can agree on the same movie?

Has XMRadio so I can listen to all the Radio Disney I can stand.  Nothing like picking up Hayden in car rider line with the windows all down and the radio BLARING "I whip My Hair".

And it makes me feel a little sporty . . . in a mommy with a bunch of kids sort of way.

Thank you Honey for buying me my van.  I hope the swagger lifestyle is all you thought it would be.

All nice and shiny.
