Quote of the Day

Me:  "Peyton, did you brush your teeth?"

Peyton:  (exasperated)  "Yes!"

Me:  "Did I already ask you that?"

Peyton:  "Three times!"

Me:  "I'm sorry honey, Mama's getting old and old people forget things."

Peyton:  "I know.  Like that one time you forgot to get up.  You were in bed until like 10:00!"

I still have no idea what he was talking about, I don't recall sleeping in until 10:00 since I was a teenager, but he's convinced.  I feel like maybe I should start forgetting to get up though, just once in a while, it's kind of appealing.

(I'm really not kidding about the teenager thing, now that I think about it.  Keep in mind, I was still a teenager when I was married with a baby!)

Quote of the Day

Peyton:  "Mama, 8 and 9 are going to be my big years."

Me:  "Oh yeah, how come?"

Peyton:  "When I'm 8:  Reconciliation and First Communion.  When I'm 9:  The next time we go to Great Wolf Lodge, I can go in the hot pools."  (hot tubs)

I'm just thankful that the sacraments are held in such high esteem to be listed right with the "hot pools" ;o).

Quote of the Day

From the guy giving me an estimate on taking down a dead tree.
While surveying the backyard and sandbox full of kids:

"Oh cool, so you guys have... like a daycare thing going on here."

No sir, they're all mine :o).

Quote of the Day

Mr. Smith to Peyton:
"No, you cannot chew church at gum."

Overheard

The boys were listening to a book on tape before bed tonight. Oliver decided to press buttons on the radio and messed up the tape. This is what I heard from the living room, out of an exasperated Peyton:
"I wish we were all the same age. I wish Oliver didn't mess with things. He's just too curious."
Peyton, sometimes you are so right.
