Random Journal Entries

This morning I was cleaning up my journal and ended up reading a little bit. Here are a few funny stories I came across:

The following are in no particular order

The other night we were all upstairs and the boys were playing and Zack had that old Tarzan spear of Michael's and he kept poking Derek with it. I finally told him to stop and about three minutes later Derek fell down and got hurt. He started crying and Zack says, Good thing I didn't spear him. We thought that was pretty funny.

Last night after we played soccer, the boys and I were playing on the swing set while Matt was stressing over our dying tomato plants and the teenage girls who live behind us all came out with their dog to play. I said hi to them and they said hi, Zack said hi then too and I said, wow Zack are you friendly today? And he said no, I am neighbory, are you neighbory too?

On Saturday I was at a baby shower for a friend and Matt said to Zack, come with me while I make you lunch. And Zack says, no dad you can't, only mom makes lunch, because mom is the lunch lady and you are the sprinkler man. Okay, whatever. We thought that was pretty funny/odd. Just comes with the whole Zack package. Also earlier in the week, we had the stomach flu and I needed to make some dinner for the kids. Zack said he wanted Calzones for dinner and I said no, I was sick and I was going to make mac n cheese. Zack says NO, mom, macaroni is cheating! Don't make macaroni. Hmmmm, I don't think so!

No official name yet for the upcoming baby. We are contemplating a few. Zack doesn't really care as long as it is not Fred. As he said, "I just hate Freds". Okay, no for Fred.

Zack story: This is actually a stupid Laurie story. Seriously, pregnancy kills brain cells. We were drivng to Grandpa Boothe's last weekend and Zack is really into spelling things right now. He will think of a word and ask you how to spell it. He had been doing this the whole drive and suddenly he says, mom? How do you spell zero? I immediately reply, honey, you can't spell zero, it is a number. Matt turns to look at me and says, "z.e.r.o.". Duuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I felt so lame, but now I think it is hilarious.

The other day we were at costco and they were giving out free hot chocolate. It was kind of hot, so Zack wouldn't drink his and asked Matt to hold it. After like fifteen minutes, Zack asked for it, but Matt had gotten tired of holding it and had drank it. So zack didn't get upset or anything, he just said, Dad? next time I get hot chocolate, can you just hold it and not drink it?

While I was typing an email just now, Zack just said, mom, Derek puked. So I am at the computer, and they are in the play room with the baby gate up. So I leave my email and grab a rag. I try to completely clear the baby gate and most of me is over and one of my extra large feet clips the top of the gate and I fall flat on my face into the play room. Both Zack and Derek started cracking up. So glad i can entertain my children

ZAck is going to play Itty Bitty Footbal in October. It is just two weeks long for 3 and 4 year olds. I am actually going to be his coach because one of my friends is the head coach, I am excited for him. But I need to tell you what happened when I told Matt about it. ME," Zack is going to play itty bitty football at the Legacy Center in October." Matt: "OH, what do they do? " ME: "Oh you just teach them the basics of football and they play a modified, no tackle game and I am going to be the coach cause then Zack can play for free." Matt:" Oh, so you just teach them the basics of football?" Me: "Yep" Matt:" So who is going to teach you?" hmmmmmm picture me making the Michael face.

a few weeks ago I was in Primary and a little girl sitting next to is just watching me in awe during singing time. All of the sudden she says, teacher, and I say yes, fully excpecting her to say I sing real purty. However she says, teacher, you have really big teeth! Wow, thank you. Just what I have always wanted to hear. Yes, thank you, I DID ALREADY KNOW THAT!
