When Nana got up this morning Vahn said
"Nana you wake up? Me miss you all night!"


Feb 7th - Day 38
We stopped at the mall on the way to church to get screen protector for my phone. We rarely go to the mall so we were surprised that they didn't open until 12:00. So we let the Men run around for a bit and they found this shopping cart to play on.

MANism Monday & Project 365 (Days 21-31)

This past week, everyone has been sick - it was NOT a fun week.
I am so glad that everyone is feeling better now!
Most of the week was spent indoors in our pjs (as you will see in the photos)

MANism#01262010
I was combing the tangles out of Gryphyns hair and he said....
"Oww Oww - that's not very good Mom!"

MANism#01272010
Vahn was playing with Zac's phone and then we couldn't find it so Zac sent the men on a hunt for it saying "whoever finds it first gets a cookie" Well, I ended up being the first to find it which brought both Men to tears because they wanted to find it and get a cookie. So we gave everyone a cookie for their efforts. However G took one bite and said "mom can I save this for later" and V said "no thanks" HONESTLY! - You know your kids are sick when they turn down cookies!

MANism#01272010-2
G~ "Mom I want you to text Valerie"
M~ "You do? What do you want me to tell her?"
G~ "That I love you"

"Move your butt mom!"
M~ Excuse me?
G~ "Can you please move mom"

MANism#01292010
Vahn brought me a Transformers book and wanted me to read it to him - Its really long and he loses interest in it so I told him NO. Which put us into this YES / NO argument.
V~ "please mommy i want you to read it"
M~ "too bad, I don't want to read it right now"
V~ "NOT too bad!"

MANism#01302010
Vahn would NOT be quiet. He kept yelling and being loud. After several times of telling him to use an inside voice, I picked him up and set him down out side the front door and closed the door. He stood there crying and rang the door bell - it was too funny!

MANism#01302010-2
Zac was playing with Gryphyn and threw him on the bed. G landed on a toy and got mad. He told Zac...
"You're being naughty Daddy!"

MANism#01302010-3
We were sitting in McDonalds eating and G was looking at the paintings on the wall - (they were of the original McD's characters) I asked him if he knew who the Fry Guys were and then made some comment to Zac about what is the world coming to? Kids don't even know who the Fry Guys are! To which G replied...
"Oh, I know who they are - they are like those things that roll around in the desert with cowboys and horses and cactus!"
