Homecoming Weekend Fun

Out of the mouth of babes...

Last night Landice was swinging on her tummy and had twisted the swing up tight so she could spin around. I heard her start screaming and saw noone around to inflict her pain. I quickly realized that she had whacked her head on the base of the swing set. Later, when her Daddy got home she told him very matter of factly, "Daddy, My head hit me on my face and I had to put ice on it."

This morning the kids were walking around playing with a little bucket and some change. While trying to keep HAyden from swallowing a dime, I overheard Landice say, "Here's your money!" and Corban replied, "No, this isn't a church!"

Later in the conversation, I overheard Corban say "No, the church is closed...sorry!"

Corban has decided that when he gets a spanking he needs to cover his ears so he can't hear it!

Corban has informed me that only Carebears have hearts on their bottoms.

Landice has informed me that she is big enough to poop by herself, but I have to help her.

Hayden has informed me that no matter what I say he is going to pull a "defy and grin" scheme and if that doesn't work then he will curl his bottom lip so far under while crocodile tears pour from his baby blue's. I can't help but chuckle around the corner while watching him when his siblings are in time out too. He will go stand by them and fake cry in timeout with them. They get possessive of their timeout and tell him to go away.

Never a boring moment in our house...

Random Thoughts Thursday

Had a very surreal moment today. Still on a butterfly high. Am amazed at how God blesses people with so much talent and to be able to see them use it to their fullest potential is inspiring!

I wish my face would give me a break and quite breaking out. Last week it was twin blotches and this week it is a fooman choo monster zit.

I made it 15 days without sweets/chocolate and then caved last Friday night. I know I disappointed others by not finishing my 21 day sweet free, but I feel more sane! Terrible, I know!

I used to not care for StarBucks until I was preggo with Hayden. Now, I love STarBucks!

You should check out Adora and Larie Marie. Adora has some super cute scarves, hats, & accesories that would be great Christmas gifts and Larie Marie has THE BEST candles in the whole entire world. I am not kidding. Everytime I light my Blueberry Muffin Candle Joshua gets disappointed because there aren't any muffins to eat!

Pilates kicked my butt today. I don't know if it was because I really need to work my hamstrings or if I needed to breathe better so I wouldn't make any funny noises if you know what I mean :)!

The house is quiet...so strange!

I told Corban yesterday that if someone was arguing with him that he didn't have to participate. HE could just walk away. So when he asked me if he could do something and I told him no. His reply was, "No, Mom! You're not supposed to argue. You have to just walk away!" Oh brother!

This weather has been beautiful and my mascara has been cooperating with my eyelashes. So, I am pleased.

I am amazed at how clean my chairs are, but very disgusted at what I steam cleaned out of them. Truly gross!

I am thinking about stripping. Stripping my old dresser that is! Any advice is welcome! I will try to post a pic later!

I wonder how many people actually read this blog on a regular basis and have NEVER posted a comment?!

Happy Thursday!!!

The Clean up Crew for Uncle Caleb's Birthday!

As you can see for yourself, we were VERY helpful! I was, afterall, the HAPPY HOUR Girl!!!









As you can also see, my kid's like to be naked...

Hey, Yo Mom!

Watch this...

Way too cool. Next week I will be swinging from the chandelier!!!

Not so Quotable Quotes from the Mullins' Clan

Friday Morning one of my great clients brought the kid's a flashing Halloween toy that had candy in it. They LOVED it. While in the car driving home here is what I heard:

C: Sword of Omens give me sight beyond sight!

L: Omen of swords give me sight...I'm confused!

Leaving church this morning, Corban ducked his head into Mrs. McBride's class and came out with a big grin saying, "Mrs. McBride was waving to me! She is my bestest friend ever, never!

Today Joshua and I were seeing who could say, "How much wood could a wood chuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood" the fastest. Of course, I was the fastest :)! The kid's often get on to us when we are being playful because they think we are being ugly to each other. Here is what Corban said to me: "Mom! You didn't win the woody woodgey!"

Also, in the car today -

L: Mommy, you got an owie?

Me: Yeah!

L: You got a Bam-Baid?

Today on the way to Nana & Papaw's house Landice was quoting from Backyardigans -

"How many times do I have to tell you?! I DON'T need rescued!"

"ARR ARR Poop n Dada he no poop n with my wormy pirate." I think in translation it was supposed to be "What do you do with a scurvy pirate?"
