On The Move

Shane and I have been married for 4 1/2 years. We have lived in 6 different homes so far. Next Month it will make 7! BUT we signed a 24 month lease, so I'm glad that I know I'm safe for at least another 2 years! This makes me very happy!

 I started packing a while ago. For those of you who have had to pack up with kids, it is quite the feat isn't it?! My goal was to pack 3 boxes a day since Colson just loves to unpack everything I've packed! Colson loves all the boxes everywhere. He's pushed them here and there to make tiny little spots to hide. This makes me happy to watch. I'm an Army Brat so we moved A LOT growing up. Watching Colson hide and enjoy this part of the moving process is very nostalgic for me. Why not have fun during the chaos?!

Two Birds With One Stone

The other morning I took the boys to the park bright and early right after Shane left for school because I had tons of stuff to get done, but still wanted them to get outside. We were the only ones at the park (which was kind of nice) and the following conversation ensued with Colson.

C: Mom, I go chase birds?
Me: Yes, but after they fly off come right back.
(goes and chases birds and comes back)
Quietly goes and gathers some rocks
C: Mom, I throw at birds?
Me: No, we don't throw rocks at birds you could hurt them and they could die.
(Note I hate the birds here! They're like vermin! My aunt calls them rats that fly)
C: ohhhhh...... Mom, I eat them?
Me: No, Colson we don't eat the birds at the park.
C: I get sick?
Me: Yes you would get very sick if you tried to eat the birds at the park.
C: (Mischievous smile on his face with one eyebrow raised) Yummy mommy good!
Followed by a high pitched laugh
