Because we all know kids are funny, especially mine :)

Let’s face it, kids are funny. Our own kids are even funnier. I love the way they talk, reason, and their honesty…though those things can sometimes get them into big trouble. This post is a little different than most of mine, but it felt like a fun thing to do, so here are a few funny moments from this past week…THIS IS MY LIFE and It's awesome!

Conversation between Izzy and I , while we were taking turns thinking of things and letting the other one guess what we were thinking about…

Izzy: Here’s a clue mom, it’s on your face

Me: Oh, ok…ummm, nose? Eyes? Mouth? Skin? Freckles?

Izzy: Nope! (at this point she leans in really close examining my face) Here’s another clue….it appears you have recently shaved yours off, but I still see a couple of hairs

Me: A mustache? Are you saying I have a mustache?

Izzy: Yes, that’s it!

(Insert me feeling really NOT good about myself here)

Blake was sitting naked at the dinner table (no judgment here, people…you have no idea how LITTLE I need judgment) and said a word that wasn’t very nice. It’s starts with an “F” and I don’t use it, but apparently someone does. I’m not huge on spankings but I felt like he needed a good swat on his bare bottom. After I swatted him I went back to cooking dinner and he started bawling (of course). He came right up to me and you could tell he was forcing himself to hold his hands down by his side. Then he cried out in between the pouring tears, “ Mooooooom, I just want to hit you so bad right now.” I became overwhelmed with his cuteness and the way he just seemed so mature by using honesty and self-restraint…and so uncontrollable laughter may or may not have ensued….

Most mature mom moment right there, folks!

Funny moment from dinner a few nights ago:

 I made taco soup and cornbread for dinner. I gave Izzy a cornbread muffin, she took a couple bites and said, "these cupcakes are awful! They need icing!"
I'm laughing uncontrollably and said, "It's cornbread, not a cupcake, crazy kid!"
She replies, "It still needs icing..."

Really, who can blame the girl? What isn’t better with icing???

I was laying Blake down at bedtime and after we said our prayers I was about to get up and go finish doing other things, when he said so softly, “Mom, Jesus wants you to rub my back.”

Really? Who could not then lay there for an hour rubbing that sweet boy’s back??

The thing about this is SINCE THAT MOMENT, Everything Blake wants, he says Jesus wants. “No, Blake, you can’t have any candy.” “But Jesus said YES I can have candy, Mama!”  This type of thing now happens all day, every day.

Just this morning the hubs gave Blake a cinnamon roll to try and told him it had lemon in it. After taking a bite, Blake says, “I weally weally like the women, Dad!”  Obviously he thought “lemon” was “women”…to his benefit, they do rhyme ;)

I have noticed through all these funny little moments in life, that they happen less often as they grow up. It kind of makes me said knowing that these situation are happening less with Izzy and pretty much never with Andrew and Joseph. Well, not the “F” word one, it doesn’t make me sad when they don’t say that. J  So, for good measure I thought I would add one of my favorite “oldie but goodie” moments…

When Andrew was probably 8 or 9, we were driving along in the car and I kept noticing Andrew looking under his arms. He would check one out, then the other…one out , then the other…back and forth. I finally said, “Son! What on earth are you doing?” His response? “I’m looking for puberty, Mom!!”

Honestly, that one STILL cracks me up after all these years, one of my funniest Mom memories! I’m drawing a blank on Joseph moments right now, but out of all of them, he has probably been the most entertaining kid, ever…but Blake is definitely giving him a run for his money. Annnnnd since I don’t have a funny moment written down with Jojo beans, I will include a picture of him from our beach trip summer before last. We were all tired of driving and stopped to fuel up. I go in to pay and come back out and this is was is standing there waiting for me:

I really wish I would have written down more of what the now older ones said when they were younger.

Ah well, life moves forward. Happy Thursday, people…Friday is so close I can smell it!!!
