Sunday Sweetness

I just love that boy of mine...

School Daze...

Ok, ...you are assigned to read a book to your mom, dad, siblings, other adult friends/relatives and have them sign the signature area....

I am not sure...signing the form by the reader as mom and dad cuts the mustard..

What do you think?

Another Connor Moment...

Connor's grandpa is currently in the hospital after suffering a stroke...obviously he is very concerned...I ran into one of  Connor's teachers today and she shared this story with me...After asking how my dad was doing she told me Connor explained to her that his grandpa's brain fell and he was in the hospital, his teacher said she would pray for him...then Connor turned to her with his arms and fingers spread (spirit fingers!) and said "You've got to get down on your knees and pray for him!"...Well that about did her in....Where does he come up with this stuff?

E's 1st Birthday!

Connor's cousin E, turns one and she knows it!

Connor's in the Dog House

No, Jules & I did not put Connor in there.
He crawled in there all by himself.
Then his two big sisters locked the door.
Those naughty girls!

Connor & the Great Cranberry Bread Debacle

When Connor was 2 1/2 - 3 years old, about 3 years ago, Jules volunteered her services to Hailey's elementary school to make mini loaves of various types of bread to be sold around Christmas time as a fund raiser. Of course when Julie volunteers her time, my time is usually involved, especially when it comes to cooking - and all kinds of cooking, too, not just the volunteer kind. (P. S. I don't mind this one little bit!)

Connor has been a "helper" from day one, and though he is still under the impression that his "helping" is always needed, necessary - and always wanted - his mommy and I, among other family members and close friends, beg to differ (just wait for the story from Uncle P and Auntie B, OH, and then there's the one from MentalM).

Jules and I had just gotten through making a bazillion lemon-poppy seed loaves and were moving on to the cranberry-orange loaves. We had all the ingredients set up on the counter next to the Kitchen Aid. Connor said he was going to pull up a chair so he could see what was going on. We said ok. That was our first mistake. Connor then asked if he could have a glass of cranberry juice. We got him one. That was our second mistake. We had just finished adding all the ingredients to the bowl and the good old Kitchen Aid was whirling away. All we had left to add were the dried cranberries. Connor asked what we were doing and, of course, we replied that we were adding the cranberries to our bread dough. That was our third mistake. Connor took a big sip of his cranberry juice......and spat it in our batter! "CONNOR!!! OH MY GOD!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!?!?!", one of us, probably both of us yelled. Connor then told us, and very indignantly if that's possible for a 2 1/2 - 3 year old to do, "Mommy! You said you was adding the cwanbewwy's an' I added mine, too!" We did tell him that, and technically we didn't tell him not to add his own... O. Dear. GOD!

Surviving the Connor Chronicles without laughing yourself silly seems to be an impossibility to all who adore him! I will not go in to what we did with that batch of dough......

A Leader is Born...

Earlier this week Connor's teacher, Mrs. D pulled me aside to let me know Connor would be receiving the "Attribute" award....So, as the week went on I pondered this and wondered how can one be an attribute??....After scoping the dictionary meanings (and there are many..)....I assumed this would be based on the  "characteristics" version .....yeikes....What could this mean???....Good Behavior/Bad Behavior, Follows  the Rules/Not ?  Fortunately, Connor received the Leadership Award..he was so proud (snack and all)...as was his mommy.......

I must say...I was a little frightened......good thing the school doesn't have a class clown award!!!!...he probably could have won that one too..hands, down!

ps...no ketchup with the food..... too soon...not pretty

What do you do when...

You're stuck in the house for 3 straight days with a sick kiddo besides wash and fold at least 10 loads of laundry, practice spelling words, make soup, finish homework, watch the Cartoon Network (the Road Runner still makes me giggle), play with action figures, and read books?...........You clean the fridge of course!

Oh my, I am in need of a cleaning intervention and some serious food shopping!
