Funny things said

The other day after church I took the girls to Once Upon A Child. We arrived a little early so I decided to go and get the girls a quick snack to hold them over till lunch. There was a White Castles very close, I thought that would be fine since they have little hamburgers. I pulled up to the window and ordered 3 single sliders 2 with no onion or pickles. When pulling around to the window Gracie asked me why I hadn't ordered anything. I told her I did. She said. "Well did you order in Spanish?" ☺

The New Mom Jeans

Today we were allowed to wear jeans to work if we paid $5. All the money was going to the Breast Cancer walk some of our employees are participating in tomorrow. We all love jean day so of course I participated. Well I also had to be at work early today to open the front desk which means I work up at 5:15am. I only got 6 hours of sleep.

At 12noon I took my lunch break and went to use the little girl's room. And in there I noticed that my jeans were just horrible, I hated the way the looked on me and the way it made my figure look. They weren't flattering at all, they were actually quite boxy. I remember them being a boot cut, I didn't realize though that was term for boyish. As I am stretching, which by the way is completely normal thing for me to do in the bathroom, squats, leg lifts, a little Tae boe, Anyway that is when I realized...................I had on freaking MAN jeans. Are you serious, I have on Danny's Jeans? Which actually is quite awesome because if anyone has ever met Danny he is a little on the skinny side.

I was so embarrassed that I immediately told at least 5 of my friends, who were also amazed. One of them said, Hey at least he wasn't wearing yours. Now that I would like to see! Nevermind, I wouldn't

So about a month ago, my mom made a silly fashion error and wore her shrug upside down, to a very nice restaurant. We all made fun of her and I said to her quote " How could you do that and not notice" Touche Breanne Touche.

Note to self, no matter what time you get up in the morning, please make sure you grab your own jeans!

Funny things said by the girls

Leaving in Franklin there aren't many department stores. We have Kohl's and Wal-Mart. Kohl's is way to expensive for me, so if I need to buy socks and underwear for the girls I go to Wal-Mart. The girls think this is some sort of treat. They Love going to Wal-Mart.

While shopping we passed by an elderly lady and very nonchalantly Lilly said to me while pointing at her, "I want to eat her"

Unsure if the lady heard us or not, I then starting pushing the cart very swiftly....

A few minutes later, Lilly saw a man. The only resemblance he had of Danny was that his hair was very short and thinning. Lilly asked him if he was her Daddy. I started laughing only because I was uncomfortable. As the gentleman politely smiled at me I said. "Sorry, but she knows who her daddy is."

Usually when we go to Wal-Mart we see crazy people. Today we were the crazy people!

Gracie's Rant

Yesterday on our way home from VBS Gracie started talking to me. At first I wasn't really listening b/c let's be honest that girl can talk. Then I started really listening to what she was saying. Apparently something had set her off and she was getting upset. To sum it up here is what she had to say.....

"When I get home there better not be trash in our yard. I know our neighbors did it and that is bad isn't it mommy? Trash does not belong in the yard it belongs in the trash can. If I see one piece of trash I am going to tell Daddy and then guess what, we might call the police. Mommy there won't be thrash will there b/c we will just move if our neighbors put trash in our yard again. Daddy said only toys can be in the yard........"

Well I just couldn't help but laugh I mean seriously a 4 year old going off about our neighbors putting trash in our yard. We occasionally get polar pops in our yard, we live across from a park so I think that is too be expected. But the other night someone threw a stuffed gorilla, a juice box and random egg shells in our back yard. She must have been reliving that whole "experience" She is just too funny and quite entertaining.

Good news: there was no trash. Even better news our neighbors have moved out, let's just hope the new neighbors are a little more tidy. I would hate for Gracie to get mad.

funny things said....

I only have three but they were really funny. Also how come I can never remember anything funny I say? oh well I am sure other's do.

Gracie asked her Papaw if she could sit on his Harley, he said no, she then replied, " I promise I won't start it!"

Danny for some reason had his basketball shorts pulled over his belly button. I asked him why he was looking like Urkel and he replied very seriously , " this is my natural waistline." I laughed and snorted so hard I almost peed my pants. He is goofy.

Danny is in the BBQ mood and has been looking up recipes on how to make your own bbq sauce, how to smoke your meat and such. So a couple of days ago he found a recipe for a Dr. Pepper bbq sauce that he wanted to make. So of course I helped him get it all ready but he did do most of it. And afterwards he said to me that he really like "cooking" and that he would like to do it more. I just laughed b/c I think we all know how that will go. And secondly that wasn't cooking that was throwing some ingredients into a blender and mixing them up. But hey who am I to discourage him wanting to help out in the kitchen! Best of luck to you Danny.

Want some asparagus

I was going through my flip camera searching for Gracie's latest soccer practice video. I started scrolling the wrong way and found this old video of Lilly. It is so cute. I might just have to put it on Youtube!

Dove Chocolate

One thing I like about the Month of February is all the chocolate. I am a woman's woman and I love me some chocolate. And I will hardly ever pass it up, even gamble chocolate....("Hmm... this could either be really good or really nasty... CRAP, I got the toothpaste filled one!" -Jim Gaffigan)

Well I have really been loving me some Dove Chocolate lately. I also like the little hidden quote or messages inside. Today's message was Remember your first Crush. Well I have to share....

Micheal McKinney, 1st grade, b/c in Kindergarten boys were Yucky.

Michael McKinney, dirty blonde hair with a cool rat tail. He had baby blue eyes. I remember sitting in Mrs. Perkins-Gale 1st grade classroom, just dreaming about him. Then one day my best friend Lyndsey told me she had a crush on him! No!!!! So I did exactly what every 1st grader would do. I started chasing him around the playground at recess. One day I asked him if he wanted to help me across the giant Caterpillar. Yep you guessed it that day forward he was head over heels for me...oh the memories!

Was your first crush as awesome as mine? :)

Cute story

I have a cute story to share about Gracie

The other day we went to my Dad and Step mom's for my step brother's Farewell party, he is going to boot camp for the Marines at the end of the month. Well they had a big buffet of food. Although it was perfect for grown ups there weren't a lot of items for picky kids to eat. But Gracie decided she would go and make her own plate. I admire the initiative. She comes back to the table with a deviled egg and to black olives. Hmmm.....

Well Danny and I immediately look at each other and start to "mind talk"

Me: " What does she have on her plate?" with a fake oh my goodness smile on my face

Danny: "Is that a deviled egg and black olives? I don't even eat those items, oh this is going to be good!!!!" with a I can't wait to see this smile on his face

So she takes a bite of the deviled egg, which I am assuming she thinks is some type of dessert item. She immediately has this face like this is not sweet or good! She then hands the rest of the egg to Danny and says " Can you hold this?"

She then goes for the black olives. In the mouth, out the mouth. "Yuck" bless her heart she thought they were blue berries. :)

Oh gosh it was so funny. It was one of those you had to be there stories. The funniest part is that everyone at the table just watched her eat those items with wide eyes and big smiles on their faces. It was almost like a prank, but she pranked herself.

So much for stepping outside the pasta, macaroni and cheese box. Well good news she does like blue berries. :)

90210

Happy 90210 day.

I know it's silly but I am a child of the 90's.

Just thought it was funny. :)

Now let's all meet at the Peach Pit!!!

Cute things said....

So it's that time again for more cute things said by my two daughters and or Husband. I understand that these may not be funny to anyone else but sure do get me a smiling and laughing so I decided to share. Thankfully my house is always full of laughter and silly moments.

1) Danny: "I like Grace"

Me: "oh you do, Why?"

Danny: "She eats the pretzels" ( Danny and I love Chex mix but hate the pretzels. At least they won't go to waste now! haha)

2) The other day my mom and I were at the Christmas tree Store! (btw....this store is awesome and one of my favorite stores) I had both girls in the cart and mom and I were talking. Lilly was rattling something off over and over and like a good, multitasking mom, I just ignored it. My mom finally said..."Bree, do you hear what she is saying?" and then Lilly repeated it..."Mom, I farted!"

Oh goodness, I am sure the whole store has heard her say this 5 or 6 times now and I just keep letting her say it. Oh well, Live goes on! haha.

3) We are in the kitchen early Saturday morning and I am starting to make breakfast and Lilly starts getting anxious....

Me: Girls what did mommy tell you

Gracie: We know, You don't have four hands!

Me: Thank you Gracie

Gracie: Now where's my milk?

Me: uhhhhh......

My mouth hurts...

So the other night I was sitting on the floor going through clothes. Gracie comes up to me with this painful look on her face. She said that her mouth hurt. I asked her what happened. As she was holding her bottom lip she kept saying something about Baby. (aka Lilly) I really couldn't understand what she was saying. So I gave her a hug and told her it would be ok. She walked away and didn't say anything about it the rest of the night.

As I was walking into the kitchen a few hours later, I realized a bag of chips were open. I thought this was strange b/c Danny wasn't home and I know I didn't eat them. As I go to flip the bag over it then hit me. My poor Gracie, I knew what she had been saying!

Can you guess what kind of chips they were? Well if you guessed jalapeno you are correct. Yep, "Baby" had given her a jalapeno chip. Yikes, I felt like such a bad mother.

I took that bag to Gracie and asked her if this is what she had eaten. She shook her head yes and I gave her a hug.

As you can see she is all better now! Guess I need to watch what I put on the counter! haha.

Funny Quotes from my life

Almost on a daily basis my girls come up with the funniest things to say. But these aren't just limited to them, these can be from coworkers, customers, family members or friends. I will share some with you now

Just the other day Gracie came into the living room with just her big girl panties on and yelled "Mom what is this crap on my butt" Danny and I looked at each other and busted out laughing.

This one is from my husband. After a few long hours of snowplowing and listening to almost every radio station in town he told me this. "You know what song is really catchy, The one with Ludicrous and Alvin from the chipmunks" It's funny if you knew the song, and even funnier that he thought they really used Alvin from the Chipmunks.

This one isn't as funny as it is precious. Gracie loves Tigger & Pooh. She has even given all of us Pooh names. She is Tiger, I'm Darby, Dad's Pooh, Lilly is piglet, and Mia, the dog is buster, the dog. ( That worked out well)
So one night as I was tucking Lilly into bed I said, goodnight piglet I love you.
Gracie in the sweetest softest (little Megan Butler) voice said, "Mommy do you love Tigger too?" How precious!!! Those are my favorite moments when they are so sweet and so innocent.
