Our crazy spring break funnies

We are taking a massive road trip. From Wilmette to Mt Vernon, to Memphis (Graceland) to Jackson for a night, then to New Orleans for 3 days (that's how far we've gotten) Sunday we head toward Williamsburg to see Dusty, Heather, and Esme, then to Gainsville to the VA Smiths and DC. So far the weather has been worth the drive, 70's everyday for the first leg at least!!!

Here are a few funnies!

Bailey at Graceland at the grave of Elvis:

Mom said, My mom grew of on Elvis (trying to explain why everyone was nuts over Elvis).

Bailey said, Your mom threw up on Elvis???

Parker in the Hotel:

We'd just woke up and we were talking. He swung his leg over my stomach and I said ouch.

He said: oh, sorry I hurt your uterus. (he's learning about reproduction in school)

Holden comments:

Take it easy, take it easy (when everyone was arguing once)

We cuddled this morning and he said we'll cuddle for a little bit, then 3 minutes later he said okay mom a little bit is done. ( I know it's hard to believe Holden would ever be done cuddling.)

Thursday night swimming the water was a little cold. I told the kids I'd give them a dollar if they just jumped in and I videotaped it. Bailey jumped and then it was HOldens turn. He was afraid so he jumped towards the stairs and mom caught herself swearing on tape. I totally thought he cracked his head open on the stairs and the hand rail. Sorry mom!

Whatever we forget Bailey will remember. She's writing a book about our adventure. She's a good little writer.

A lesson on Obedience

Holden was in trouble for being crazy and in time out this afternoon for not listening and obey me. Brayden went up to talk to him about it while I took Parker to basketball and this is what happened.

Brayden: Do you know what obedience is?
Holden: No
B: Its when you do what mommy says.
H: Yeah and what Obama says. Obama commands me. (which is funny because a few weeks ago Holden told Brayden to get him so water and when Brayden did Holden said Daddy, I command you.)

So the order in our house goes Obama, Holden, Brayden
