I'm giving myself a bath...in the car

Today on the way home from school Sophie removed her shoes and socks. I really didn't pay attention and then noticed she was sucking on her blankie? Still didn't say anything. After we picked up Davis I asked her why she had removed her shoes and socks. She proceeded to tell me that she had been giving herself a bath...in the car, with her blankie as the "saliva filled washcloth". She said her feet were all clean, even between her toes. She later said she needed another bath tonight to finish cleaning the rest of her body.

I get such a kick out of...

the comments other bloggers post about the things their kids say, so I thought I would conform.

Last night after dinner while David and I were actually having a converstion...

Sophie: My sister won't stop hitting me.
Us: What? You're sister?
Sophie: yes, we are on a roller coaster and she keeps hitting me.
Me: What's he name?
Sophie: Johnnie
Me: Are you ok?
Sophie: It's OK she didn't hit me that hard.

Anything for attention I guess. Oh, her tone was so matter of fact??? Strange???

Halloween 2008

We had an eventful Halloween before Halloween this year. The kids actually did not do anything on Halloween night, except go to CR as usual :) But...on Sunday night, before Halloween they enjoyed Trunk or Treat at church and on Thursday night Sophie and I went to the dorms at OC and Davis got to go to Haunt the Zoo with his cool aunt and uncle who, by the way ,do not have children. That was so kind of them...I heard the line was looooong! Needless to say the results were too much candy as usual. Here are my kiddos and a few other kiddos...

Say No to Pepto!

I am going on day 5 of having a stomach virus! Just when I think it's over it comes back...I've been asked"what have you taken for it?", if you know me, medicine is a last resort. I typically like to let things run their course. Usually it's not this long! I have tried Tums and Pepto, only once...because to no avail they both came back up! I have gone about 12 hours without...well you know. I am praying that this bout is over.

As for my students at school, they probably think I skipped town. I do have to admit I did enjoy my Fall Break. I think I will actually be able to return to school on Monday. That is if Sophie doesn't get it...

My little ones are growing up...

We have celebrated a few birthdays in the last month so I must post. This blog is also my form of a "memory book". I know it's sad.

Davis had his 2nd annual campout for his birthday. We stayed at the same site as last year at Laka Arcadia...on Texas/OU weekend. Go Colt McCoy! Our cousin...I've been told I can root for Colt but not Texas :)

Sophie's party was at the church in September on a very rainy day. We had a great time!




This is the only pic of Davis;I learned 10 year old boys would rather play than get there picture taken.

Home Sick...

It's been a little while since my last post. I've decided I'm going to make a New Year's resolution to post everyday for at least a full month in 2009. Perhaps the whole year, we'll see...

On Sunday Davis came down with a stomach bug in the wee hours of the morn...Needless to say I had it by Monday morning and in to this morning. I have been home from school for 6 days if you count Fall Break. We are feeling much better. The sad part is it reminds me how much I loved being a SAHM! Even if I was sick part of the time. I have truly become a homebody.

I have had some extra time to surf the internet reading sites I don't get to frequent as often as I'd like. I'm an information junkie I guess. I love educating myself about so many different kinds of things... So I guess I can say I'm not only home sick, but I'm also homesick.
