The funny papers!

I really should have a comic strip, this child gives me plenty of material...move over Family Circle!

Aubrey's comic relief for the past two weeks

Mom I have a new way of turning off my light. I jump high in the air off my bed, yell "yaba, daba doo" and then hit the light.

While going through some old clothes I had her try on a turtleneck. She got all huffy and told me "mom I don't know why you are having me try this on you know I DONT like Artichokes they CHOKE me!!!"

Kendal was telling me how much her friend likes to babysit because she gets to watch tv really late at night. One time she watched a show till 11pm. A few minutes later Aubrey chimes in that the next time she sees Kendals friend she wants to feel her forehead. I thought this was strange and asked her why. She said "to see if her brain is all mushy from all the tv she has been watching".

I was talking with Aubrey while we were driving and asking her if she was going to write Santa a letter. She said, "I don't know why we have to write him a letter. Wouldn't it be easier just to sit on his lap and just tell him what we want."

Aubrey asks me one day when she gets home from school if fat is a bad word. I say no, but sometimes it isn't a very nice word. She says, "well it is a good thing Santa isn't going to be at our Christmas program because we call him BIG and FAT!!"

While cleaning up after the kids lunch I cleared their plates. I guess Aubrey wasn't done and wondered where her chicken went. I look in the trash and it is sitting on top. I am looking at it debating whether or not to get it out and give it back to her when she tells me. "Its ok I'll eat it, I've eaten things out of the trash before."

All things come out in the wash!!!

Aw Laundry day! Well actually everyday is laundry day around here. Today it reminded me of a saying that goes something like,...everything comes out in the wash, .......here is what came out today. I can hardly wait till tommorow!

Little treasures found under Aubrey's bed while collecting laundry. Notice the broken keyboard, ornaments, crayones, little pink drink umbrellas from a party I went to and threw away, WIRE cutters (I was using in my decorating, then couldn't find them), shorts that I vowed were now off limits since it is WINTER, and her sisters blanket. Note, I just cleaned under her bed two days ago!!! Good thing I don't let this go for months on end, who knows what I would find.

Lovely socks!! What is the world does this boy have inside of his shoes. Or maybe his shoes have humugous holes in them as well. I never see him running around in just socks. Mystery! Bright side, one less pair to wash, fold, and put away. These puppies are headed straight to the trash!

How did that precious baby doll "Haley" that never leaves Brinleys side get in the middle of Bradens laundry basket? Hiding it from his sister? No, he wouldn't, would he? My guess...Aubrey once again, probably trying to frame her brother.

What in the world is that plastic stuff and what is that a hundred dollar bill? At closer examination I find that is a MEAT wrapper off of our hamburger meat we had in our dinner last night. Someone put it in our front window!!! Did some investigating....found that it was Aubrey (big surprise) She said she was trying to attract people to come to our house. I ask her....by putting a meat wrapper in the window? Her response, "well yes, AND A HUNDRED dollar bill!!!!"

This is a front window at our house, now everyone can see how much we pay for our meat!
