Chasing Time: Last Hurrah!

Last Hurrah!

One last family day at the lake. It was a beautiful Labor Day. The weather couldn't have been better. I know the weather will continue, though I always feel like my brithday marks the end of summer. It's a shame it has to end, but I can tell we are all ready for a change of pace. Tomorrow Trent starts school and Callie starts on Friday. I know it will be an adjustment for us all, but a welcomed change.

Say What???

Trent's Principal's Halloween costume was a Viking Woman. Trent:"My worst fear, my Principal is a Viking. She'll tie our arms and legs to horses and rip our legs off!" (I'm actually glad he fears her!)
Trent broke a glow stick and the glow stuff went into his eye. Once the trauma of getting it out was over he said, "Wouldn't that be awesome if I turned into a superhero now and I could shoot acid out of my eye?" (There's always a BRIGHT side!)
Trent: "If the teenagers TP'd the forest, then it would be there for you if you ever needed to go #2, plus then the TP would be going back to its source." (Very practical and intuitive Trent!)
Mom Looking at Swimsuits on-line. Trent:"Mom, are you planning on looking like that?" (Wait? I don't already?)
Callie: "Dad, you have more money than me, cause you have a wallet."
Callie: "Mom, can I wear my pink camo hat?" Mom: "No, it's too small." Callie:"Then I'm going to have my BabyAlive wear it, and when it gets small enough, I'm going to let my Barbie wear it." Mom:"Callie, the hat doesn't get smaller! Your head gets bigger!" Trent: "Callie, I think your BabyAlive should be called BabyDead cause you haven't played with it in so long!"
Trent: "Mom, is that a new handbag?" Mom:"Yes." Trent: "It looks nice on you." (O.k.! Thanks for noticing Buddy!)
Callie: "No Mom, my hair is not snarley, I took a bath at Grandma's and she put in some air conditioner."
Callie: "Mom, how old is Grandpa going to be?" Mom:"60." Callie:"Wow! He's old! That means he'll have even MORE wrinkles!"
Callie: "Don't worry Molly, if I turn 5 before you, I'll still be your cousin."
Trent:"Mom, what does nocturnal mean?" Mom:"Things that are awake at night." Callie:"Teenagers are nocturnal!"
Callie: "Mom, will you find my Diego DVD?" Mom:"What's the magic word?" Callie:"Abracadabra?"
The kids have been listening to the song "Funkytown" Trent: "Mom, where is Funkytown?" "Can we go there sometime?"
Callie: (With Croc held up to her ear) "Mom, I can hear the ocean!"
Mom:"Let's get moving Trent." Trent:"Why? I like our house where we live now!"
Callie:"Mom, when will I get a penis?" Mom:"Never. You're a girl, you have privates." Callie:"But I Waannt One!" Trent:"Wanna Trade?"
Callie: "Here Mom, I picked you these flowers for your Wedding."
Trent, "Look at those geese flying over that barn. They better watch out. "Chucck. Chucck. BANG!" (That's Daddy's Boy!)
Lifeguarding according to Callie:"Don't worry Baby Jack, I'll watch you so you don't sink."
Callie: "Mom can you turn on the light for me, my hand isn't long enough."
Mom, "Callie, Don't get that on your clothes." Callie, "I am-in't."
Trent: "Mom." Mom:"Yes Callie?" Trent:"Mom." Mom:"Yes Callie?" Trent:"MOOOOOM!" Mom:"Oh, Yes Trent?"
Callie: "Mom, Great Grandma lives in a nursery rhyme right?" (Nursing Home, Nursery Rhyme same difference.)
Callie and I are sitting on Marshall's lap. He and I kiss. Callie:"Are you guys sharing germs?"
Trent: "Callie smack that mosquito! Get him! Hit him like you hit me! Kill him! Get Mad!"
Mom: "You need to eat carefully, popcicles will stain." Trent: "Just use oxyclean, it gets out the tough stains."
Callie: "Can I have a granola bar?" Mom: "Yes, but I want you to eat the whole thing, not just the chocolate chips." Callie:"Even the paper?"
Mom: "Do you have your helmet?" Trent:"Yes, I was about to put it on until you interviened."
Trent:"Mom, what is the name of the President?" Mom:"George Bush." Trent:"That's a weird name." (He has no idea!)
Callie:"Mom, can you help me?" Mom:"Just a minute Callie, I can only do a couple things at a time." (A couple things! What ever happened to one thing at a time! Welcome to Motherhood!)
Mom: "Trent, Please wait." Trent: "O.K. Mom, I can wait for minutes!"
Callie: "Mom, can boogers talk?" (I am not making this stuff up!)
After scolding the kids, I realized I've started to say, "Do you hear me?" Callie: "Yes, I hear me." (When did I turn into "that" Mom?)
Callie:"What are we having for dinner?" Mom:"Chicken Pot Pie." Callie:"Are we having dessert?"
Trent:"Mom, can I have a quarter?" (Refering to "candy" dispenser in woman's bathroom) Mom:"That's not for candy." Trent:"What is it for?"
Mom:"I'm having pea soup." Callie:"You mean potty soup?"
Callie:"Dad, can I use some of your Man Lipstick?" (Chapstick)
