The kids are going to be doing some professional modeling. In order to have their web portfolio updated, I needed to have some professional photos taken of the kiddos.
We are scheduled to meet with the photographer this evening. I have already blowed dried and flat ironed the girls' hair. I have sprayed Sawyer's to make it curlier. I have ironed all of their clothes. I have their accessories picked out.
Everything is ready to go, so, imagine my surprise when Sawyer comes walking into the kitchen with more than nine Spiderman tatoos all over his arms!!!!

Confined
The other morning we were headed to the community center per our normal routine. I buckled Sawyer into his carseat and decided to take advantage of the fact that he was restrained.
I gave him a million kisses all over his face! Sawyer immediately wiped his face and exclaimed, "Hey, hey, hey!!! Take it easy!!!!"

Pit Crew
As I was talking to KP in the kitchen tonight about my crazy Walmart experience...yes, I went to Walmart at 7pm on a Friday night to buy groceries...we sent the kids up to brush their teeth and get ready for bed.
KP just came back home today after being gone in Indiana for the last three days. Thus, tonight was his night to put the kids in bed. I heard him truck up the stairs, go to the bathroom where all three kids were and exclaim, "HOLY MOLY!!! These are the three most beautiful, handsome kids I have ever seen!!!"
All three kids were in the bathroom together brushing their hair, spraying it with detangler, and styling it. (I had taken all three to Great Clips today to get their hair cut).
KP called down to me in the kitchen, "Mommy! It's like a pit crew in here! Sawyer is even working so hard that he has two brushes going at once!"

Vampires
Maddy: "Mom!?!?!? What if a vampire gets a boo-boo and sucks his own blood? Then what happens?"
Me:...........cricket, cricket, cricket......

Chit Chat
The other day I was at the community center waiting for my friend, Leah, to finish up swim lessons with her son. As Sawyer and I were waiting, one of the men who works there, came up to me for a friendly chat.
His opening statement was, "Wayylll, I am waitin' for my baby tuh be born." I looked at him with a questioning look and he rephrased for me, "My daughter's havin' another baby and I'm waitin' for her to go in tuh labor." I said, "Oh! I didn't realize that you were having another grandbaby." What was I supposed to say? He then continued on, "Yup. She done lost her mew-cus plug and been sittin' in a di-ah-per in fron' of duh tee-vee for two days now."
I turned around to see if I was on Candid Camera or maybe being Punked? Surely, this man had to know that I would totally throw up in my mouth at the mention of his daughter's "mew-cus" plug.
He further continued the conversation by stating, "Wayylll, it is her seventh one. I guess she's a real expert at it now."
"SEVENTH???" I exclaimed. "Yup." He said. "How in the world does one afford seven children and how old is your daughter?" I asked. Why I bothered to continue this conversation, I will never know.
The man answered, "Wayyylll, she is thirty-seven, but she done had her first one when she was....(pause for him getting choked up)....thirteen.....gimme a minute....it was stillborn, god bless....still gets me e'erytime (pointing to his heart) I think about it....(again getting choked up)....okay, I'm alright. Just needed a minute."
I sat there speechless. Couldn't think of one nice or encouraging thing to say. Thank god for Leah because she and her son came up the stairs just at the right moment to rescue me from this crazy conversation.

Graceful
Yesterday I was in WalMart with all three of my kids plus Maddy's little friend, Grayce. Sawyer had gotten one of those water noodles out of a mid-aisle display and I told him he needed to put it back. As I was trying to help him put it back, I accidently knocked over an entire box of the noodles. They spilled out everywhere. As I was trying to pick one up, I would knock over another and another. You get the picture.
Maddy looked at her friend and said, "My mom always does this." "One time, we were in Michael's and she knocked over all these scrapbooks, but she blamed it on me to be funny."
She then rolled her eyes and walked off in front of me. Oh, boy, she's gonna have fun with me as a mom during her teenage years!

Bird's Nest
Lizzy was trying to be a pretty princess in the bathtub. This is what happened when I stepped out of the room for two seconds. It took me, my friend, Leah, olive oil, conditioner, breaking the comb, cutting the comb, pliers, and 1.5 hours of patience to get this comb out of her hair. At least we did not have to cut her hair! Look at the pics. It's starts with the end result of getting the comb out and goes backwards to where the comb was when I found Lizzy. KP said that Lizzy looked like she had some kind of Lady Gaga do with the comb in her hair. He also didn't recognize the comb was out of her hair when I took the "after" pics. Enough said.
