Things You Never Thought You Would Ever Say

"Matthew! Untie your brother from that chair right now! And don't ever tie up your two year old brother again!!!!"


Come to find out he was trying to "brainwash" James so he would be a spy against Abbie for him.

You know how you have those it all comes together perfectly mornings and you just float around the house in a Mary Poppins trance and are amazed at what a great mom you are.

This is NOT one of those mornings.

  2. Oh that is sooo funny! My neighbor called one day to tell me that my son had tied my girlie to the tree in the front yard with a jump rope. When I went out to admonish him, she jumped right in with "It's okay mama, I like being tied to the tree." I left them alone with the parting words, "Okay - just not around the neck." I'm sure the neighbors think we are CRAZY!

    Your house is full of life. :-)

  6. ha! I've had similar things to say to my kids. We have problems with knives and toy swords. "No stabbing your brother with the knife."

    just kidding.

  9. LOL! I must say, we've not had any of those Mary Poppins mornings here this week, either. As a matter of fact, I believe that two mornings this week involved multiple lectures and threats! Speaking of which, I need to go see if the dishes actually got finished and the dining room actually got vacuumed after dinner! And the younger ones are still in bed with the lights out!
