Tattle- Tale

Kids tend to be tattle tales.  If they think there has been an injustice done they will tell you about it.  Even if the injustice had nothing to do with them they will tell you about it.  My munchkins are no different.   

 Occasionally, my munchkins will ask about rules of driving.  Why we stop when other cars are going,  why we are driving so slowly, or why we can't go past a slow car. The Hubs and I explain to them that if we don't obey the laws a police man will give us a ticket and we will have to pay a lot of money.

Now, whenever the munchkins see someone running a stop light or going too fast they tattle on them to me.  "Mommy! that car is going too fast!  The police man will get him."

Hahaha!  I have to explain to them that we can't control the things other people do, all we can do is control our own actions.  Now that I think about it, it's a pretty good lesson on life.

Have a good day!

Nobody Likes to Be Beaten By a Minivan

We've all had the problem in traffic where you go to pass someone and they speed up so you can't get around them.  It happens.  Anyway, it seems to happen more and more often to us, especially when we're driving Big Mama (aka our minivan).  The hubs and I have a little catch phrase for this, "nobody likes to be beaten by a minivan."

It's almost like it hurts your street cred if a minivan passes you.  I don't know if that's really how it works, but I'm going with it.  

Have a great day!

Bounce House

I mentioned the other day that while we were at my Father in law's house the kids were trapped inside.  It was exceptionally cold and rainy outside most of the week.  I'm talking down into the teens!  For this southern girl that's way too cold!  

We were forced to be inventive when it came to helping the munchkins get their energy out.  Thankfully there is a consignment shop a few miles away from my FIL's house, and inside they have a back area that is a play center for the kids. In that area there are bounce houses.  Oh praise the good Lord for bounce houses!!  They saved us this trip.  We did a few other things too, like go to Chuck E. Cheese (which Firecracker kept referring to as Chuck Cheezits).  But it was the bounce house that we used the most.

Have a great day!

Conversation

The other day the Hubs and I were having a conversation about him "always" having to fill my van up with gas.  (This is a constant joke with us.  I do fill it occasionally, but the Hubs does end up putting gas in it often.)  This is how the conversation went:

H: "Huh, look at that, the gas light is on while I'M driving."
M: "Oops! I meant to go to the gas station today, but it totally slipped my mind."
H: "Yeah, sure it did" (sarcasm, but not mean sarcasm, just joking around)
M: "Don't worry, we should still make it where we're going.  The gauge says we have 15 miles til empty."
H: "I don't trust that.  It'll say 10 miles til empty one minute and then a minute later it says 0 til empty."
M: "Oh, don't worry about that.  It doesn't stop when it hits 0."
H:- No words, he just turned and looked at me with the widest eyes I've ever seen.  I could read his mind though.  And it was screaming "WHAT?!"

Gotta love keeping my man on his toes! Hahaha!  Oh and by the way, my van really doesn't stop when it hits 0.... Not that I would know that from experience or anything...... 

Have a great day!
