A long list of Hadley's funnies...from last night

So, last night Tim went to youth at church and me and Hadley stayed home. Hadley...to say it politely...was on a ROLL! He was cracking me up the whole night!!!

First, he wanted to read a million books. The first one was Dr. Suess’s book….The Foot Book. Hadley knew every word of that book. I asked him how he knew that and he said he read it in class. And then he said….it was Dr. Suess’s birthday. LOL. They had a special day at school a while back where is was Dr. Suess day and they made a Dr. Suess hat and read Dr. Suess books. He was practically reading the book with me.

Next, we read his library book about a bunch of rabbits that were pirates on this pirate ship. About 30 minutes later he asked me if there were real pirates. I thought he was like scared and I said..oh no, there aren’t real pirates. He seriously almost started crying. I said…well did you want there to be real pirates? He said…yes….so they could kill the sharks....and the orca whales. Yes, he said orca whales. Then he said.. because the orca whales kill our seals. I asked him how he knew that and he said they talked about it in class.

Then, he asked to see my broken tooth. Yes, this is an ongoing thing. Like a year ago, I had a tooth pulled instead of getting it fixed and he wants to look at it all the time! It is weird! So, last night he wanted to look at it and then he said...when are you ever going to get that fixed? And I said...well I'm not because it is too expensive....then he said....wait for it....... then you will look like Blake and Dalton. The funniest part was the way he said it. He sounded like he was a grown up.

Hadley has been coming in our room like 4 and 5 times a night. Wanting to get in bed with us because he says it is warm. So we have told him..you need to stay in your own bed! It makes us tired when you come in there waking us up 5 times a night and it also makes you tired getting in and out of bed like that all night long.

So, yesterday morning, I was trying to wake him up. He said he was tired. And I said…well I know you are tired but it’s time to get going….he said….i am still tired…I stayed out of your room all night and I am still tired! He must have put it together that we tell him he is tired at night because he gets up all the time. Well now he didn’t get up all night and he is still tired.

I think it is all of for right now. He was cracking me up all night long so I had to share. Have a great day!

Easiest Pineapple Peeler Ever

Several months ago, I started buying real pineapples because they taste so much better than the canned ones. They are much sweeter and juicier. But it is a pain in the rear to cut them up. To cut all of the rine off and all the little rivets in the pineapple. Ugh.

So, I ordered a pineapple peeler from Jennifer's Pampered Chef party. I admit I was skeptical but I wanted to give it a try. I got it like a month ago, but I just now have a pineapple so I used it tonight. You cut the ends off of both ends and set it flat on the cutting board and then you just cut through it like an apple cutter. I was amazed. So, I took a picture.

It cuts the core right out of it and cuts it in to two halves. I just chopped it up into little chunks. The only other thing I did was cut a little sliver off of the sides, because they had just a little sliver of good pineapple on there.

FYI. If you like real pineapples, this is a great investment.

Walmart Customer Service

So, I bought groceries after work. I got home and realized that I was short one sack. So, I got my receipt and check marked all the things I didn't have. I called Wal Mart and they told me that I could bring my receipt up there. So, we did. I got in line at 7:50. I got up to the counter at 8:00 and the guy told me that I could go get all my stuff and bring it back to the counter. So, I thought well i'll go get it and if that guy is still there maybe he will let me come up there and not have to wait in line. So, I walked all over the store and got my stuff and go back to the counter and there are 3 people in front of me and the guy I talked to was gone. At 8:10 I got back to the counter. The guy had to go through the upc codes on all the things I had and on my receipt.

Ok. Wait. The girl in front of me was returning a $50 can of baby formula.

So, at 8:20 he finally let me take my stuff and go.

I spent 30 minutes in that Wal Mart. Sometimes I strongly dislike Wal Mart.

Vacation Bible School

So, Hadley is old enough this year to go to Vacation Bible School. It started last night and will end on Friday. We got there last night and he was clinging on to his dad like crazy. Wouldn't even put his nametag on. We got back to the room and he wouldn't even sit in the chair. He was so clingy. But then after we got there to pick him up, he was HAPPY! He talked about it on the way home and they made a cross that he was VERY proud of. So, when we got home I took his picture with his cross.

So, this morning, he asked me about 4 times before we got to school if we were going to Vacation Bible School after real school. And I kept telling him yes. He was so excited. He even took his cross in the car this morning. So, we got home today and he was excited! We got there today and he waltzes up to the door, got in, slapped his nametag on and then waltzed back to the room. I was cracking up. He went up to his row and sat down and last night his teacher had to pry him away. So, I think he had fun. We got there to pick him up tonight and he was CRANKY! I don't know what his problem was. I think he must be tired. He didn't want to talk to anybody or give hugs or anything. But I still think he enjoyed it.

Father's Day

Hi everybody! I haven't wrote in a while so I thought I would say hi! We haven't been doing much. Last Wednesday, Hadley spent the night with Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Michael and all of the cousins. I think they had a grand ol time. Hadley had a lot of fun. This week was a long week and I'm glad its almost over.

This weekend, we are going to mom's house on Saturday for Father's Day. Tomorrow we are going to see my grandma and grandpa in Shawnee and Hadley is spending the night with my mom.

Tonight, Hadley gave his dad the gifts we made for him. We got him 3 little jars with candy in them, a DAD picture frame and a coupon book. He was excited to give him his gifts. We had fun making them. Here are some pictures:

Has anybody been watching "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here"? If you haven't, don't. It might possibly be the most annoying show in the whole world.

Ok. I think that's it. I hope you all have a great weekend.

This week

I haven't blogged all week! Why is it that the shortest weeks always feel like the longest??

Saturday we went to Trey and Hollie's wedding. Sunday, we went to my mom's church and then house and we cleaned some stuff up and cooked out. It was fun.

Monday was Memorial Day and we went with Melissa and the boys to a Texas Rangers game. Steve and Cheryl drove down too and went shopping. We had a great time. They played the Yankees and the place was packed. Our seats were "all you can eat" seats. So, we got to eat whatever we wanted. Hadley ate 2 hot dogs, nachos, a chicken sandwich, some cotton candy and some popcorn. I didn't think he could eat that much! Our seats were in the shade and it was awesome.

The rest of the week was long. And I am certainly glad it is the weekend.

Tim is building a dog house. Hadley is watching Bolt. And I was doing laundry until I sat down to write my blog.

And now I have to tell you about Hadley's SpiderMan sandals. Most of you may know that me and Tim are not fans of shoes or clothing that have Spider man, Elmo, anyone else on it. I don't think we've ever let Hadley have a pair of shoes that had Elmo on them or Spiderman or lights. Not that it's bad. Lot's of kids have those shoes, we've just never really been a fan.

So, last night, we went to eat with my mom and sister and we went shopping after that. My sister found Hadley a pair of Spiderman velcro sandals. I wish ya'll could've seen the look on Hadley's face. When I first saw them I was like..uh no. And then he came and asked me if he could have them and the poor child looked like he had been deprived all of his life. So, we got them. We were at Penneys. My sister changed out his shoes so he could wear them. We decided we were going to walk from Penney's to Kohls. In Midwest City. We had to walk about .1 miles per hour. He was stopping and looking at his shoes and just beaming. And then he would walk a little bit more and stop and look at his shoes and then smile some more. I felt like I had deprived him of never having Spiderman shoes. There are just no words to describe how he looked. It was just so funny. So, last night we got home, got ready for bed, Tim took his shoes off and put them on his nightstand and said...when you wake up in the morning, they will be right there so you can see them. Well, then we ended up letting him make a pallet in our room. The minute he woke up this morning, he asked about his shoes. He ran in his room and found them and put them right on. It was just so funny watching him and how happy he was.

Anyway. I hope you all have a great weekend! I don't think we have anything planned this weekend! Hopefully, we can get caught up on some stuff and get some rest and relaxation!!! Love ya!

Playing Catch

Is everybody watching American Idol?? I hope Kris wins!

Anyway, I think it might possibly have been 20 years, since I played catch. Wait, I did play with my mom some when I was a teenager. Tonight we went and bought a glove for me and a ball and played catch with Hadley. Then he got tired and me and Tim played for a long time. It was really fun. And relaxing. We just came in and now we are watching American Idol.

Ok. And now for my sad story of the day. I came home with a horrible headache and didn't want to cook so we went to Taco Bueno. We sat down and this little black girl was sitting in the booth behind us and she started talking to me and Hadley while Tim was getting our food. She was talking about how she knew her colors and wanted us to guess how old she was. She was adorable. So, then Tim asked her if her mom worked there and she said yes. And then she started telling us that her mom was mean to her. She would spank her for no reason even when she didn't do anything. But her grandma was nice. It was so sad. So, at one point she went up to the counter and her mom yelled at her from behind the counter and told her to go back and sit down. And was yelling at her from behind the counter. Then her mom took her in the back. I just thought it was terrible number one that her mom didn't have anywhere to take her to while she worked. Number two that her mom was mean to her. I just thought the whole thing was terrible. I know some people don't have a choice. I just thought it so sad. I don't know. I don't think it was a coincidence that she was there, I wish I could've taken her home.
