playdate gone bad

2012-02-23T07:18:00.001-06:00

This will be short & sweet. I took Sayers to a friend's house for dinner last night. He dumped an entire carton of blue playdough into their fish bowl...causing the fish to go into cardiac arrest. And, chased their guinea pigs around their cage with their purple igloo house. That is all. Ciao for now!

Wicked Wednesdays

2012-02-22T09:36:00.000-06:00

My Wednesdays are so great. I don't have any children from 9a - 2:30p. It's heaven. At 8a this morning I was already ready to get the 3 younger kids to school. We did our usual drive thru chick-fila where mommy gets her coke (sometimes MF gets her own, as well). I get my coke & pay. As I am about to drive off...Sayers yells at the guy at the window, "HEY I AM SEXY AND I KNOW IT"..........I just kind of laugh & drive off. We get to school. I am getting everyone out & I hear Sayers tell another mom, "Mary Frances is a BIMBO"...............I MEAN, REALLY??!!! Where does this kid come up with this stuff.

This week's Top 5 things...

first post of 2012

2012-02-19T10:50:00.000-06:00

It's been a LONG time since I have blogged. But, in the words of AC/DC " I am BACK IN BLAAAACK!" Everyone at our house has a name for their bottom. Emma - Stop talking about my bottom - bottom, Brown - Hamburger buns bottom, Sayers -Sloppy Joe bottom (oh so fitting), Mary Frances - Pink Piglet Bottom. I need to figure out a pole to name my bottom & Ford's. Will work on that next....I am sure it will have something to do with my "bottom leaves"...
On another note, all of the kids are in bed with Ford right now. I have heard the following,
Ford: - "Brown, stop trying to touch my weiner. Football players DO NOT touch other people's weiners."
Sayers - (bawling hysterically): "Mommy, Mary stuck a screwdriver in my eye."
Ford - "Are y'all gonna let Mary Frances date anyone?"
Sayers - "Where are my balls?"
I promise to be a better blogger!!! I am trying to get ELLEN DEGENERES to follow me!!!!!

I have been M.I.A...

2011-07-25T19:36:00.000-05:00

...because we moved to Dallas from Austin last week. Just before embarking on our adventure, poor Sayers fell on my mom's shoe scraper & ended up at the ER for a lacerated scrotum. I can't make it up. 6 stitches & 7 hours later...we got on the road to Dallas. I have spent the last few days organizing & settling in. Our internet just got up & running today...so, I will be posting again soon! Ciao!

Well, Sayers is at it again. I heard some yelling coming from my bedroom. I looked & Sayers had a giant doo doo hanging off his shorts. WHICH...Stoley, the dog, promptly ate.

We've got new neighbors....

2011-07-14T10:25:00.000-05:00

Their names are Lucy & Patty...and, they are CHICKENS. I thought they would be confined to their coop, but alas...I was wrong. Brown & Sayers have been feeding them cocoa puffs through the fence this morning. Brown also assured me that they could eat starbursts.

Wacky Wednesday

2011-07-13T09:22:00.000-05:00

It's 9:13a & I have already found 2 articles in the toilet:

Sponge Bob toothbrush

Medicine dispenser

Emma & Brown have been playing dentist this morning. Some commentary I have heard from them:
Emma: "Dentist, where are your clothes?"
Brown: "I like to be a naked dentist...but, I will put my dentist clothes on so no one sees my bottom."

Emma using "dentist tools" aka. a WINE opener on her Fancy Nancy.

Tools that every GOOD dentist needs - plasticware, scissors, a wine opener, motrin & check book deposit slips.

ikea

2011-07-11T13:04:00.000-05:00

I have a new obsession. It's called Ikea. Not only do they have cool stuff at affordable prices, BUT...you can also drop your kid off in the playland area & do some shopping. In fact, I was thinking I could host a dinner party at ikea. Drop the kids in the playland & then arrange for a dinner party in one of the dining room vignettes they have set up. OR, even better...drop them off for the day & go run errands around town, they don't have to know that I am not actually at Ikea, right? What an amazing concept!

2011-07-09T14:27:00.000-05:00

Shortly after my last post, Sayers pooped in the yard. He then stuck a super soaker water gun in the poop & smeared it all over the garage. No pics as Ford managed to power wash it off before I had a chance to document.

Sayers is at it again...

2011-07-09T12:37:00.000-05:00

Sayers dumped an entire box of COOKIE CRISP on the floor...

Poor Mary Frances just wanted to eat her dinner...

Getting a new camera this weekend! Better quality pictures to come!

Moo

2011-07-07T14:53:00.000-05:00

My mom saved this cute stuffed giraffe for me from when I was little. None of the kids have taken to it until Sayers. He is OBSESSED. It just tickles me...because he thinks it is a cow. "Cow go nite nite"..."I love cow"..."Cow go in stroller"....

Only in the ATX

2011-07-06T15:29:00.000-05:00

Emma,"Look at that NAKED MAN on the bike"....

bye bye baby

2011-07-05T14:02:00.000-05:00

sayers: "mommy, the baby is broken!!!"

Another bath down the drain...

2011-07-05T09:21:00.000-05:00

I was enjoying my bath this morning. No children. Of course it was too good to be true. Sayers snuck in & turned on the COLD SHOWER that quickly sent me into a cardiac arrest.

Highlights of the weekend

2011-07-04T14:18:00.000-05:00

Happy 4th of July! I just woke up from the world's worst nap. I thought it would be a good idea to take 1/2 of a 5 Hour Energy Drink (does that make it a 2.5 hour energy drink?) at 8p last night. I was super tired from being in the sun/swimming & taking care of the kids all day. I wanted to stay up & hang out with family/friends. Serious serious air ball. I ended up being awake until 5:30a! I had to take a melatonin to go to sleep. Anyway, I took a nap after lunch...only to be interruped by Sayers who "I have poop"...and, Brown taking pictures of me "sleeping" with my with my phone. A few other highlights from the weekend:
- Sayers pooped in the pool. The pool was immediately evacuated & shocked.
- Sayers hit Mary Frances in the head with a wrench.
- Brown sprayed OFF in Sayers' eye.
- Emma told me she wanted to be JUST like Britney Spears.

Wheeler out!

I'm baaaack

2011-07-02T14:04:00.002-05:00

I just returned from Dallas. We were there from Wednesday - today. 6 of us in a hotel room. Serious nightmare. I am too tired to even think...but, I can tell you that Mary Frances somehow ate an entire kit kat in the car on the way home...and, Brown TINKLED in the car. That's all I have today. Need sleep now.

waaaaaay back whens-day

Slang Ditty

2011-06-29T09:22:00.000-05:00

Brown likes to shorten words and it drives me nuts. He calls Sayers, "Sayer." BUG!!!

Anyway, this morning. He kept saying, "I want to play with the HO"..."SAYER & I want to play with the HOS"...I mean, I am sure they will want to play with hos...but, he meant the HOSE/HOSES. Here's a pic of Brown nailing SAYER with the HO :)

All of this slang reminded me of this awesome website I found a few weeks ago. It's called: http://joel.net/EBONICS/Translator. You type in some text & it translates it so you can talk like a true pimp.

EX: Hey! What's up? How are you?

Ebonics Translator: Yo werd up! Wut up? How is you? Just like mammy.

In other news, we are about to drive to Dallas. I am sure I will collect some excellent material for my next blog entry(ies). Also, going to start reformatting this blog...if you have any advice/suggestions...PUUULEASE let me know! (Other than the fact that I need a new camera!!)

Yo Bye! Gots uh pimp-tight day! , Word y'all!

refrigerator raider

2011-06-28T18:11:00.000-05:00

i heard a serious ruckus in the kitchen this afternoon only to find these 2...ON TOP of the refrigerator. i think emma is taking the i-want-to-be-featured-on-your-blog-deal a LITTLE too far! (she does swear brown MADE her do it)!

beauty day

2011-06-28T13:26:00.000-05:00

2011-06-28T08:11:00.000-05:00

...the wild animals of the wheeler house are awake...and have been since 6a. every.single.one.of.them.
we have a rule over here...mommy & daddy are not on duty until 7a (ok, who are we kidding...let's make that 8a). we will get up & make everyone breakfast & put on a movie/or cartoons...but, then we get back in bed. you are only to call us if it is an EMERGENCY. meaning that you are bleeding from your eyes or about to lose a limb. let's review the emergencies du jour:
6:15a: brown shrieking & howling from the other room. i am just sure that mary frances must be choking. i come running in...
me: "what's the matter?!!!"...
brown: "sayers & i want to hear DIRTY BIT on the computer"....
me: "that is NOT an emergency. i will put it on...but, do NOT call me again unless something terrible is happening."

6:21a: brown yelling like a banshee. i think to myself, "sayers must have pooped on the floor again"...i come running in.
brown: "mommy, emma & i were just talking about which animals smell. do you know if chinchillas smell? what about sheep? can we get a pet chinchilla or pet sheep?"
me: "yes. now leave me alone...i am going back to bed!!"

6:37a: brown FREAKING OUT. he probably wants DIRTY BIT on repeat or he has decided he wants a pet lemur. but, i run in anyway...
brown: "mommy! guess what?"
me: "urrghhh what?"
brown" "mary frances thinks it is SO funny when i LICK her feet!"....

i need a nap.
