Conversations With A 3 1/2 Year Old

I still don't have a lot to blog about, but here is a funny conversation that took place in our house between Carl and Trey. Carl had just walked in from work:

Carl: "Trey, did you get a new truck today"

Trey: "Um Huh"

Carl: "When did you get that?"

Trey: "At Wal-Mart"

Carl: "No, not where did you get it, but when did you get it?"

Trey: (and I wish you could have see the look on his face) "Today at Wal-Mart, duh !"

I about died. How did he get such an attitude you might ask--remember, he has two older sisters! He picks up all kind of stuff from them. I am NOT taking credit for any of that:)


The other night Carl had left to go to Men's Fellowship at our church. Trey realized this about 30 minutes after he left because he was in the tub(a well designed plan!), and this was our conversation while I was getting him dressed:

Trey: "Where's Daddy at?"

Me: "He went to the church for a men's meeting"

Trey: "Why did he go there?"

Me: "To learn about Jesus and talk with the men."

Trey: "Just like I do in class?"

Me: "Yes Trey, just like you do in class"

Isn't that sweet? He tells me all about his lessons from Sunday School--now, sometimes I might have to beg him to tell me, but he usually will. And some people say that 2-3 year olds are too young to remember--not Trey. He has a memory like an elephant.

Makena did go back to school today--yeah! She is feeling better, but she didn't sleep a wink last night. This has been two nights in a row now. I am beginning to feel like I have an infant again! Mrs. Odom asked me to sub for her next Tues and I am really excited about it:) I enjoy being up there with the girls, and believe it or not they like me being there. I dread the years when they don't want to be seen with me. And no matter how cool Mom's think they are, there are always times when their kids don't want them anywhere around them. Then when they grow up and have kids of their own, they can't imagine living without their Mom. At least that was the case with me! I guess I've procrastinated on my cleaning long enough:)

Friday Favorites

  Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for the first Friday Favorites of 2025! Over the past three weeks, I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend more time with Wrenley. She is growing up so much. She is speaking in full sentences and is a clown to boot! We've enjoyed lots of naps in BeBe's bed, playing with baby dolls (one of her favorite things), and since I have to pick her up before 7 a.m. on the days she stays with me, we enjoy getting her favorites: donuts (nonuts) and hotcakes from McDonald's -not at the same time though! Snug as a bug in a rug! She loves her Ky Ky Another favorite is a clean kitchen! We have had our house in a bit of chaos like I'm sure everyone else has with all the holiday festivities (and with Carl being off). I am glad to have everything in its proper place! That ray of sunshine is therapy for my soul! The next thing on my favorites list is Carl's chili. We had it last night and will probably have leftovers for a few day...

Friday Favorites

 Happy January 74th! Ok but really, why does January seem to go on FOREVER?! Today I am linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  for Friday Favorites! This was definitely a favorite moment from this week!  Our 47th President, Donald J. Trump! Since Monday was also MLK day, I had the pleasure of watching sweet Wrenley.  Celebrating my niece, Ellie Kate's 15th birthday was definitely a favorite! I also watched Wrenley on Wednesday because she was a little under the weather. She had fun playing and getting lots of ice cream and popsicles! Wrenley will always be my favorite. On this day she wanted to "work" like BeBe. She's so precious, even with her little bedhead! Good Music is a favorite. Play some old-school country music and we are golden :) My favorite meal this week. It seems like forever since I made a home-cooked meal! Cajun baked chicken, corn (because Trey loves corn), broccoli, mashed potatoes with white gravy, and rolls were on the menu, and every...

Wednesday Loves

Wow, I can't believe it's Wednesday again!  Here are a few things I'm loving this week: I absolutely love this cute little cupcakes. I want to try and make them soon :) I'm loving this idea that came from Merideth .  Trey and I are going to make it for his first day of school.  I know his teacher very well, since both of the girls had her :) I love this Razorback plate from the Magnolia Lane Collection that I got me for my birthday! WOO PIG SOOIE!! And finally, I'm loving my grandmother, or as my kids call her, Grammy. She will be turning 76 on Friday, and I am so blessed to have her be an active part of my life, and my kids lives.  We love you Grammy! What are you loving this week? Beth
