Michael the Genius

Ummmmm NOT! Last night I made a chocolate cake. Before I put icing on it, Michael asked me (while looking right at it) if it was white or chocolate. Dude, wtf????? Did you SERIOUSLY just ask me that????? This kid is the future of our country. If we think we're screwed now, just wait.

He had a baseball game today, and Bethanie went (me and baby boy stayed home since he was taking a night night nap). Big B comes home with tadpoles. WHAT???? Yeah, that's my girly girl. She's all upset that one died. She buried it in the backyard. May little tadpole RIP.

I told Brody to say I love you. He said no. Big sigh. I went to Wal Mart the other night and grabbed a snack at Taco Bell. Brody told me "mommy share." I tore off a chunk of my chicken quesadilla and gave it to him. He promptly turned to the dog and gave it to him. Big sigh again. He tends to come get in bed with me at night and snuggles up to me. It's soooooo sweet, so I'll forgive him for not telling me he loves me and feeding my bedtime snack to the dog.

Kiddo update

Michael-He's playing rec baseball in Cabot and competitive in West Memphis. I forsee my gas usage multiplying many times over, but what can you do??? It's what he loves. He's doing so so in school. I was NOT happy about the D he got in math on his report card, but the rest of his grades were A's and B's.

Bethanie-She got straight 3's on her report card, which mean at or above grade level. I've come to expect no less. The elementary school breaks down each subject into minute little details, so I could see where she's struggling (if she was).

Brody-Well, after several months straight of having a never ending ear infection, he got tubes on the 17th of March. He's doing well. Right now he has scarlet fever (how did THAT happen???) but you'd never know it. He's still teeny tiny (he wears a 12 months for the most part and he's 2) but very sturdy and very much a dare devil and a boy.

Michael and Bethanie had the flu last month. Brody luckily didn't get it, as it was a week before he got his tubes. I have shingles, and so far he hasn't gotten it or chicken pox or whatever he'd get.

Life is just chugging right along here.

Kiddo update

So, I guess I should update what the kidlets are up to.

Michael is now living with us. We just moved from Cabot (small town) to Ward (even smaller town) to a 4 bedroom house. Michael is doing GREAT! After getting not so great grades at Marion, he is getting good grades here (so far all A's and B's this quarter). He is going to his first formal Friday night.

Bethanie is also doing great. She had a perfect report card last quarter. VERY proud. She wants to do gymnastics and I'm looking into that. She's so tiny, she'll do great at it.

Brody is....well, Brody. He repeats everything he hears (and his favorite phrase right now is Gichael gay for some reason). He LOVES Michael and idolizes him. He loves Bethanie too, but Michael is next to God to him. He's gotten into Thomas the Train thing, and I can hear the movie on in his room right now. He loves choo choos, cars, and poo planes aka helicopters or airplanes. He just does the cutest darn things. Tonight he helped me with the laundry. He took stuff out of the basket and threw it (literally) into the washer. He's a cuddly little sweetheart.
