{ Happy Memorial Day For Some...}






Have a memorable weekend!
-------------------------------------
My eventful morning mishaps:
1) SO today Kolt went to the bus stop close to his usual time maybe a couple minutes later then normal {we just started taking the bus this month after letters and emails to the division anyway were just happy we get it over our way..} Anyway I went about my morning got his room organized, my closet cleaned and was getting started on my hair when I heard a knock at the door at 8:55...
it was Kolten he says with big tears and a quivery lip....
"Mom I'm still waiting for the bus it never came."
poor boy had been waiting for it for almost an hour!!!! I felt so so bad for him I gave him a big hug and we ran him to school. I just wonder what was going through his mind waiting for so long??
2) Lauren is playing outside this morning comes running to the front door saying "mom mom look I caught a.......
no not a butterfly, no not a lady bug, or a Caterpillar it was a freakin
"DEAD MOUSE"
she was carrying it in both hands!!!!! YUCK!!! YUCK !!!
SO we rubbed her hands raw with soap and explained that we don't play with dead RODENTS!!! They are not fival or ratatouille they are gross!!! {but I give the girl props for picking the rotten thing up! brave right??}

Have a fun weekend I get to give a talk in church on Sunday fun! Wish me luck!

LOL ! I found your blog recently and have been reading it lots, hope that doesn't creep you out. I like the stories about your kids, the dead mouse one I think is my favorite haha. That is so gross !

Ok Christal that has got to be the grossest thing so far---even with all Masen's crazy nasty parking lot stories (flies and cigarette butts etc etc etc). YUCK!! is right about that dead diseased mouse!! And my poor Kolty man that's SO sad! Sounds like an eventful day though.

Judy said...

Oh my gosh! I can't believe he waited that long. And I laughed so hard about the dead mouse. I Love your kids, they are the best!

Sweet, I'm totally going to make faces at you when you are talking! The bishop might think I am crazy but it will so be worth it.
I love that Lauren "caught" the dead mouse! And you are right props to her for picking it up!

Lynn said...

Oh my! I was totally crying for Kolten when I read that he stood there for an hour! It reminded me of when that happened to me in grade one. I did not know what to do.

And then when I read that about Lauren....I totally cried again!!! But TOTALLY FOR ME!!! I am SO freaked by that. I cannot even imagine! You have no idea my fear with rodents of any kind....it's my worst nightmare!! You are SO brave to even stand close to that thing while it was in her hands. I would of run like the dickens! And then called Dean at work to come home and wash the child's hands. LOL!

Of all the things for lauren to find! So gross. Poor Kolten. You live right in Raymond don't you? Just curious why he was taking the bus. Maybe I am wrong.
