The Girls Are Back In Town

The Fabulous M Sisters are here for a visit.

More to come later...

Let's Get Ready to Rumble...

W loves to wrestle. Having two little sisters, he doesn't get a chance to do it very often. So I decided that I would get down in the floor and wrestle with him a couple of days ago.

Now, I have 5 brothers so I know a little something about wrestling,

OR at least I thought I did.

He kicked my butt.

I had/have more bruises then I think I have ever had at one time in my life.

I guess he was impressed though because he told me...

"You are 8 times good."

I thought that wasn't too bad.

Then he says..."I'm 10 times good though."

I thought...You're Right!!

Kids...

P and her mommy went to see a play several weeks ago. It was "Alice in Wonderland." P loved it. She talks about it all the time. A couple of days ago she asks me..."Um, Misty, can you stand on your head?" I wondered where she got that but didn't put two and two together. I said, "No, I'm too old."

Then she says, "I can, see!!"

(Remember in "Alice" when the Cheshire cat stands on his head.)

Another.....

Monday we were in the van driving around and the girls were watching "Shrek." They love this movie. They don't get most of it, but still think it's funny. Anywho, P says to me..."Um, Misty, you know what, Shrek is like a yunion (onion). He has layers."

She is a very funny girl.

I Love Me Some...

teenage boys!

Wait, that didn't come out right.

What I meant to say is....I love my teenage boys!!

I got to hang out with David (15 years old now, he just got his driving permit) and Phillip (13 years old) a couple days ago. I can only go so long without seeing them, so every couple of weeks I call them up and we go out to lunch or dinner. They are very sweet and catch me up on everything going on in their lives.

So, this last time, we went and got pizza. After we eat they like to go to Target or Wal-Mart and look around. While at Wal-Mart, Phillip finds a Xbox game that he NEEDS. It cost $39.95 and he had $40.00 on him. He then looks at me with those beautiful brown eyes and says..."Can I borrow enough money for taxes?"

How can I resist I ask you?

We go to the check out and he pays his $40.00 and I pay the rest, which was $3.16. He was so excited. You see, "he has only had one Xbox game since he got it for his birthday." He then tells me that he will pay me back when I drop him back off.

We get to their house and I get a "Thanks" from David, (Anyone with a 15 year old in their life understands.) and an "I'll be right a back" from Phillip.

(Now, let me take a little break and explain something to everyone. David and Phillip don't live in a normal home. They do NOT hug and kiss each other. Not just David and Phillip, I know boys aren't much into kissing and hugging each other, but their parents too. Their Mom and Dad don't hug and kiss each other and RARELY hug and kiss the boys.

I am a very lovey person and I hugged and kissed them from the very beginning. When Phillip was around 4, his Dad decided that it was weird that he still kissed me and told Phillip it was gross. I don't know why, but he did. Anywho, my reason for telling you all this is to say... David and Phillip don't hug or kiss buuuuuut, I am always trying.)

Back to the story....Phillip runs inside to get the money he owes me and comes back out with a $5. He then says..."Here take this, you can keep the extra for taking me out to eat." How cute is he? I, of course, said no and that I wanted him to keep it. He tried to make me take it and threw it in the window of my car.

So, I said, "I don't want your money, but you can give me a hug!" (I fear you underestimate the sneakiness!!)(Have you seen that movie? Funny!)

And yes, ladies and gentlemen, I got a big hug.

ALL WORTH IT!!
