Double or Nothin...

Just about every night I can be heard asking my boys "which one of you is getting in the bathtub first?" ...only to get the classic little boy moans and groans about having to bathe.
However, last night Levi was in a wheeling and dealing mood, "Mom, I don't want to take a bath tonight, but I promise to take two tomorrow!"

Welcome Home Game?

Yesterday we were at the Lucas Oil Stadium at a Welcome Home celebration for the 3500 Indiana National Guardsman who recently came home from being deployed. We're sitting there watching the guys march around, a band playing, the governor speaking and about half-way through Levi says, "Mom, when is the game going to start?"

Can't Buy Me Love...

The other day I received a call from a parent of a girl in Mason's class. He left a message asking that I call him back. Before calling back I asked Mason if he knew why her father was calling. He thought a minute and said, "I don't know...maybe because I gave her some fake money." "Fake money? What fake money?" I asked. He says, "You know that fake 100 dollar bill that was on the table? I took it to school and gave it to her" Then I remembered that the night before I'd emptied my purse of a couple of Christmas gift envelopes..."Honey, that wasn't a fake bill, that was REAL!" So I call the girl's father back and he says, "It was a really sweet gesture on Mason's part, but we can't let her accept the gift." Whew! My son just skips the sweet nothings and valentines and just gives the girl cold hard cash.
