It's that time again!

So it is that time again, Football Time! You many or may not know that We are a house divided. I am a hug Auburn fan as well as and Auburn Alum and Brian is a huge Alabama fan. We love each other despite our differences in football. This weekend starts it all. It is always interesting to see what the boys end up dressed in on game day. Whoever does the duty of dressing two boys gets to pick which team they are dressed for. Rush's friend Grace also comes from a house divided and she has this precious shirt that says Roll Eagle. I think I need to see what I can do about getting that into our wardrobe!

Bad Guys and Mullets

Rush has gotten into some new toys these days. Things like Little People are fun for Mason and occasionally for Rush, but Rush is into action. He is all boy and doing what all little boys do, but that is still a little bit of an adjustment for me. He has gotten his first "bad guy" toy. His imagination is vivid to say the list. He also has decided that Buzz Lightyear is the best and loves to pretend to be him. He walks around using his imaginary laser to zap things. His once innocent Little People Lions now fight like Simba and Scar in the Lion King. Have you ever noticed how inappropriate Disney movies can be at times when it comes to preschoolers? Anyway, I guess I will be dealing with the bad guy thing for a long time.

A bad guy to Mason is anyone who takes away his food! That boy loves to eat! He is bigger than Rush was at his age. He is so content too. He loves to play and he will play with anything that has wheels for the longest time. He loves things that go. I need to get a picture up because you have got to see his mullet! He is sporting the red baby mullet! If he could just get it to grow on top he would have beautiful hair. I do have to say that Mason has one bad habit, he is a horrible sleeper!

Why?

Now that everybody in my family has given me a hard time about my pitiful blogs and FB page I am trying to get things going. I am trying to make it a point to keep things updated.

Last night and this morning I found myself asking why quite a few times. I know this is a question that gets asked everyday by many people and often goes unanswered. I, like most children, am not happy with the answer just because. I feel the need to share of the many times in the last 24 hours I have asked why.

We got a notice in the mail from Alabama Power saying they would be interrupting service in our area on Tuesday. We kept it and were prepared knowing that it would be a long and hot day here with two children and no power. But somehow things didn't happen according to my plan that morning. Why did the have to turn off the power to the neighborhood yesterday morning before I had my shower, ironed my clothes, ate breakfast, and checked my email? And why on the morning that I had a doctors appointment?

Yesterday afternoon we were back home with full power just hanging out. My house is clean because I had bunko here the night before. Otherwise that doesn't happen very often. Because I had had a house full of people the night before for dinner and bunko I purchased a bag of ice. We all know I love to crunch ice and I did not want to run out of ice after feeding 12 people. Publix only had 20 pound bags of ice, which is huge, but I bought it anyway. The big bag was causing issue in my freezer so I decided I would put it in smaller bags so I could get my freezer back to normal. I pulled the bag out and as I put it on the kitchen floor... Why did it have to break open spilling into my floor? Why did it have to melt so fast? Why did my children think it was so much fun to play in? The answer to that one really might be obvious.

My most recent why moment happened just this morning. The boys and I are just hanging out watching TV, playing, having a snack, watching a video email from Kristi about a Waffle House Wedding. Which by the way is worth watching.

Did I mention that we are doing all this while still in pajamas? Anyway, we are enjoying ourselves and the doorbell rings! Why? Of course they get all excited and Rush runs to the window to look out. So there is absolutely no hiding the fact that we are home and in our pajamas. I peeked out and knew immediately that it was two sweet ladies who happened to be Jehovah's Witnesses. What is a person to do? So I open the door a crack and stick my head out and apologize for being unable to open the door due to the fact that I am not properly dressed for company. So they ask me their questions and I give my answers trying to share my faith at the same time. All while I am very uncomfortably sticking my head out the door in my pajamas. Why didn't I get dressed already and why aren't they noticing that this is awkward.

A few more why questions to ponder?

Why does Mason think that the rocks in the fireplace are so much fun to put in his mouth?

Why does Rush have to have a new cup, bowl or plate every time he needs a snack or drink?

Why is it that my kitchen floor can't stay clean?
