Life's Ironies

Life is great. It really is. One thing I like about life is it's little ironies, or as in this case, one really big irony that smacked me upside the head.

Wanna know what it is? I'll tell you:) And if you haven't read the post below this one, you might want to so you can get the full scale of how completely ironic this truly is.

I had emailed Andon's teacher a couple days ago about me taking in some form of treat for the kids for Andon's birthday today. I asked her if there was anything that she absolutely didn't want in her classroom and a good time to bring said goodie in. I heard back from her after school yesterday, a few hours after yesterday's post here on my blog.

She told me that they would love to celebrate Andon's birthday, gave me a good time to bring in a treat, and then..... then she made a suggestion. And boy am I trying not to laugh right now. Can you guess what it was????

Wait for it....

Wait for it....

CUPCAKES!!!!!

I couldn't believe it. Seriously???? CUPCAKES??? I don't even like to serve cupcakes to MY kids! :)

You may be interested to know that I am leaving in a few moments to go pick up some doughnuts. Andon nixed the smoothie idea. It is HIS birthday after all:)

(Did you think I was going to say cupcakes?) LOL

So much for getting my panties in a bunch. Really though? Of all the things to suggest, she had to suggest cupcakes:)

Just shaking my head:)

This makes me laugh!! What an irony! Just for the record I have never brought treats for any of the kids on there birthday. Call me a mean mom, but I figured if I started I would have to keep it up, and we will just celebrate at home. Oh and I see nothing wrong with a healthy snack....;) Happy Birthday to your Andon, time sure if flying by.

Funny Things The Kids Say

One day Andon and I were talking about our hearts. He asked me how they worked, I gave him an explanation a 4 y r old could understand, (the only one I understand.) The very next day, I said something to Zak. Something that went along the lines of, "quit that!" or some such demand. Andon then says to me: "Mommy, listen to your heart. That's not very nice." Needless to say I felt like a complete and total toad. Just goes to show that you can always learn more from your children than you could ever teach them yourself.

While we were camping, Andon and our friend's son were sitting next to one another. Brayden who is 15 says to Andon, "I've known you since you were a baby." Andon replies, "I've known me since I was a baby too!"


Brittnee is our funny bone. The things she says sometimes are so dang funny! One day, as she was walking by Doug she says, "Hello, my good man." We both looked at her and we both began cracking up. This is how she's referred to him lately.


I was sitting on the couch taking a breather after dinner and Andon walks past me into the kitchen. He had a car in his hand and as he walked by the fridge he must have dropped it because I heard him say, "tartar sauce!" I suppose I should limit his sponge bob watching.


I was in the car with the kids coming home from Britt's tap class and she was telling me about the school BBQ that day. She mentioned that her friend got sick. I asked her what happened and she said, "Layla has lots of diseases so she had to go home." I didn't think I heard her clearly, so I repeated back, "diseases?" Britt said, "Yes, Diseases." By this time I was truly perplexed because I knew she didn't really mean disease, but I couldn't figure out what she DID mean. Then Teaghan pipes up and says, "You mean ALLERGIES?" Brittnee says, "Oh yeah, that's what it is. ALLERGIES!" I laughed heartily, the kind where your shoulders shake and your stomach hurts.


We were at the school today, and on one of the playgrounds is these cubes that turn. On them are the states and their capitols. There's quite a few of them, and they're all blue. Zakry starts playing with them and turning them all, and then I hear, "mommy, look, a car wash." I suppose the large blue cubes reminded him of the car wash we went on last week. So funny!!
