Weekend Scoop

Lainey has taken her mothering techniques to a whole new level lately. Here is Jack's crocodile on her crib pillow, covered with two lambies.

Jack-a-roo has added a new fashion accessory to his ensemble. Check out the pocket watch hanging from his jeans. I love it. I so enjoy when kids take on these little quirks. And, you know Jack has plenty more in store for us over the years.


I've kept track of some quotes from the children this week. Planning on doing this some more in the future. A few for now:

Lainey: "Yainey no say Oh my GOT. Yainey say Oh my GUH-NESS. Or Yainey get hot souse."

Jack: "It's my mama."
Lainey: "No, it's my mama."
Jack: "It's my mama!"
Lainey: "It's my mama!!!!!"
Jack: "No, it's my MAMA. You get Dad."

Carter: "Is it bedtime? It's not too early, Mom."
Mom: "Carter, it's 5:00. Seriously."
Carter: "Aren't they supposed to get 12 hours a sleep? I mean, they can get up at 5:00."

Jack: "Watch me toot."

OK, that's enough for now. I'm going to make it a point to write more of these things down. Our kids are super freaks. You should be privy to their wisdom.

Carter left school today with a friend for a sleepover. Do you remember how fun that was? Packing a bag, heading to school, knowing you were on your own for over 24 hours......magic. Happy for our oldest punk.

I'm solo with kids tomorrow because Blake is working. Oh, how I love tax season.

Are you paying attention to the Conan/Leno drama? I am mildly interested. I have always preferred Conan over any of the others. And, love him even more after learning he put his talk show on Craigslist. Article here. Advertisement here.

Pure awesomeness.

Have a good weekend, peeps!

You just outed yourself as a hot saucer. A whole new level of Case transparency.

Love the watch.

Of course, I'm more of a Letterman girl.
Ever read that old book The Late Shift? the battle for late night?

Team CoCo all the way, but I preferred it when he was in NYC.

Coco said...

Shannon is right, you totally just outed yourself as a hot saucer!!

I wish you could write down how precious Lainey says, "Tessie Mayes." Hilarious.

The watch is classic Jack. Such a freakshow.

Oh my gosh those quotes are so dang funny!

Jack and his pocket watch ... awww. Was that a train connection?

You are so cute in hats! Love that you always have them on. I like hats, but just don't know how to REALLY wear one.

Have a great weekend!

My sister was a CPA before moving to NY and she worked both Saturdays and Sundays for about three months straight. Just awful.

I have always been a Leno fan (definitely Leno over Letterman for me). I started taking a real liking to Conan right before all the shannanigans started.

The kiddo's quotes are so funny! I love Carter's bedtime one :)

I'm trying to ignore the Conan/Leno drama. I like them both but they have their jobs and they all need to accept them.

Here to follow from the Friday Follow :)

My mom was a hot saucer. Shameless.
It did me good, can't you tell? Sheeeeeeyt.

Um, watch me toot? I'm dying over here. Oh, I needed this. I miss them!!

merrilee said...

Love the pocket watch, Jack--this may be a new fashion for his generation. Also love that Jack told Lainey she could have dad--priceless!!

The Rand's said...

Quotes are hilarious!

I'm too much of a weanie to do hot sauce, so I use apple cider vinegar. My girls can't stand it. Usually just taking it out and sitting it on the counter is all it takes.

Love the watch Jack is sporting! Cute, cute, cute!

Becca Jane said...

Haha, that was awesome....'watch me toot'!!
We taught Cameron the Korean word for Toot....so now when he announces to the world what he just did, we aren't quite as embarrassed, haha!!!

Monica said...

Definitely share more of these quotes. I love them all!
