I'm gonna need a carrot and a hat

The kids had off from school today and I was totally planning on us staying home and being lazy. You know...basically a normal day for us ;) That was until I overheard this conversation coming from the breakfast table.

Evelyn: I know how to spell Logan. F-A-R-T.

Logan:  Well I know how to spell Evelyn. W-E-I-N-E-R.

This was followed by lots of yelling and calls of, "MOOOOM!"

Did I mention that I heard all this while I was in the kitchen getting a cup of coffee? As in, I hadn't even had my morning caffeine *is a gift from the Lord* yet!

At this moment I was thinking two things. 1. Look at my little home schoolers spelling their insults so they wouldn't get in trouble for saying bad words :)  And 2. I can not possibly listen to another day full of Logan and Evelyn's constant arguing!

So in about as long as it took me to finish my I-hope-they-serve-this-in-heaven  coffee, I had the little sweethearts packed up and ready for a day of visiting our friends.


After five hours of playing outside, video games, and me hanging with another grownup we were all refreshed and back home again...Then that sweet 1 minute passed and they were fighting and calling each other names again.

  2. Hi! I just scooted over here from Adventures of a DIY mom... I was curious as to what font you chose :) I think it looks great! I'm new to blogging too and would love it if you checked out my site:
