The Laundry Chair???




Okay, so I don't know about you other Mom's out there but I despise laundry. In fact the "L" word is a bad word here in the Fisher house. The rule is if your dirty laundry is not in the laundry room it does not get washed. However when it does get put in the right place and it does get washed it has a hard time making it to everyones rooms. You see I am usually in a hurry when I switch loads and everything that gets pulled from the dryer gets placed in our front sitting room onto a chair. Thus we have a "Laundry Chair" .... Some weeks it may sit there until Fridays when I clean house and put away all the laundry. On a typical Wednesday morning you may hear me say did you check the "Laundry Chair". If you are a surprise visitor at my front door I will scoop it onto the floor if you want to sit in that particular chair or you may just have to look at it from the couch while we drink our coffee. If I would only put it away right when I take it out, I would not have wrinkles to iron out or socks to match at the last minute. Someday I may have a handle on the laundry but for now I have 4 kids and a husband so I will continue to do my best!!!

Can We Have a Baby Mommy?

Gray: Mommy can we please have a new baby?

Me: Gray we are not going to have any more babies.

Gray: But Mommy they are so cute and I want one.

Me: I know Gray but you are our baby .

Gray: Mommy please can we just go to the store and pick one out!

Me: Gray babies have to grow inside of a Mommy's tummy.

Gray: Ok then grow one Mommy, I will be a really good BIG BROTHER!

The Easter Bunny.....

This morning as we were heading out the door we noticed a bunny had just become FRESH ROADKILL right in front of our house.

Kevin: Oh man I hope that wasn't the Easter Bunny.

Grayson: Oh I hope it wasn't either.

Noah: Gray the Easter Bunny is not real, its just Mom & Dad.

Grayson: No it is not! The Easter Bunny is coming to bring me some candy.

Noah: Gray Mom & Dad put candy in your basket....Duh!

Me: Noah who told you that the Easter Bunny isn't real?

Noah: Mom I am 7 now I know these things.

Me: OK then you can believe what you want but don't ruin it for your brother he is only 3.

I can't believe he doesn't believe anymore : ( The twins were at least 9 when they figured it all out and I thought I had a couple more years before the boys figured it all out. Noah still believes in the Tooth Fairy and Santa...I can't quite figure out why he believes in them and not the Bunny. We teach our kids the real reason of the holidays and would never lie to them if they asked if the make believe things were real. I guess I am sad about it because my babies are growing up so fast.....
So here's hoping that the Easter Bunny is not the bunny that is smeared all over my street!!!!

Happy Easter to everyone and may we all REJOICE that he has Risen!!!!

today begins spring break at our house....and its Monday so its that time in the week to admit...confess...say what you did NOT do. You can head to http://www.mycharmingkids.net/ to see where this little weekly activity started!
Let me start by saying I love my husband and when we got into a tiff this weekend I DID NOT throw his sweater across the room out of complete and total anger. I DID NOT lay in my bed and watch 3 Lifetime movies until 2 am. I DID NOT sit in church wallowing in self pity and pride on Sunday. And as far as food goes...I did NOT eat chinese food 3 times this weekend. I think it might be time to hit it hard in the gym this week.
