"I'm a man"

the other night we all sat down to watch "how the grinch stole Christmas" with Jim carrey. I told Merritt to come sit in my lap. He sai "nah I don't need too. I 'm not scared, I'm a man" I laughed soooooo hard!!!!!

The lights of Marshall

We recently went on a trip to Marshall Texas to see their Christmas light display. It was great!!!!! We went on a horse drawn carriage, sipped hot cocoa, and Kendall got to ride the train. It was worth seeing!

Mom has the FLU

Tonight, we went to my moms to get Kendall (mom has the FLU). I explained to Kendall that Ka-KA had the flu and she needed to stay with us so that she would not get sick. Merritt just glared at me as if in disbelief. Merritt get out of the car. But my I don't want the flu. You had the flu shot merritt, you won't get sick. Oh he said and promptly got out of the car ! I guess he thought I was sending him in to get sick.

Cheetah Girls

I got Kendall tickets to see the Cheetah girls this weekend. She is sooooo excited. That is one of her Christmas presents. I hope my mom can go with us. She has the FLU!!!!!!

"The List"

A few nights ago, we were out to dinner and were teasing Merritt by asking if he wanted us to have brother or a sister. He said no, no babies. Why not we kept prodding. Mom it's not on my list.

First Kiss

Me: What
Merritt: I got my first kiss today

Me: from who

Me: Merritt, you keep your lips to yourself!
Merritt: well uuh, I mean uuh, she kisseed me

I can't believe this is already starting aahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Hay ride

Two years ago, Halloween, we all (family) went on a Haunted Hayride. Merritt was only about two and a half at the time, but he still remembers it. The other night we were near the part of town where the hay ride was and he mentioned the hay ride. I told him we could go back if he wanted to. He shook his head no and I asked him why not. He said it was too scary (it really wasn't that scary) and I said he was older know. He told me, "mom, if we go back I am going to have to show them my moves." We were laughing so hard!

merritts- isims

Merritt: Mom, do I have boobs?
Me: Do what?
merritt: Do I have boobs.
Me (with a slight look of shock): No merritt, only women have boobs
Merritt (ponting at his chest): look at my buttons

Where did this child come from?

Merritt's Christmas list

As you may have guessed, the list is about a mile long. The top of it read like this :

four wheeler- a real one

We keep telling him, I am sorry, Santa can't fit that on a sleigh and we cannot afford it. (he thinks his cousins are "rich" because they have a go cart). But the reality is he is getting a blue camoflauge four wheeler on Christmas morning. I can't wait to see his face!

Pep Rally

My friend Diana and I took the kids to the Ned. pep rally for the big game against PNG. My son said he was glad to go and see some "hot cheerleaders". OMG he is only four!!!!

Last soccer game

Merritt 's last soccer game will be this saturday (nov 11). He has done well this year. He does have a had time keeping the ball "in balance". He love to kick it out for some reason =) The other thing he like about soccer is the ... snack after the game. Bur seriously, he has done great. Looking forward to next time.

New Job today

Well I started my new job today. It went great, but I was so tired when I came home. I think tomorrow we will be even busier. The good thing is time goes by so quickly.

Reasons why Merritt will be an only child (for now at least)

When Merritt was about two, he dumped out most the stuffing from his bean bag chair. My husband and I were histerical with laughter. We called it "Snowing in August (inTexas)". What was not so funny was about two hours later when he did it again, this time three times worse!!! I think I am still picking up will white styrofoam balls with the vacuum.

Bad service tonight

We went to the Roadhouse for supper tonight. The service was bad!!!!!! We had a large party thought so gratuity was included. I think we should have given it to my husabnd though, at one point we was serving tea to us all!

Pap-Paw is coming in...

My grandfather, who is alomost 90, is coming down for a visit today. They will get to stay four days. The last time he saw Merritt, Merritt was two. Wow! Can't wait to see him!

My party

Friday was my last day at a job I have had for four years. The girls gave me a wonderful going away party., complete with cake, drinks, cookies, flowers, etc. They invited my famliy and friends from other offices. When Merritt found out that he was coming to a party, he told grandma that we could not come without a gift., so he wrapped up a dinosaur (that made roaring sounds) to give to me. When he handed me the package, he was so proud. Of course I had to open it right then. I t was the perfect present for my last day!

As a side note, I also recieved a lovely picture frame and the most gourgeous heart. We saw them the other day eating out. The company has a website, www.collecthearts.com

I got the little boy blue heart. The heart is beautiful, but the poem makes it. I tried to read it to everybody, but couldn't get through the first sentence! When you are wanting to pull your hair out, or your son's, the poem will put you back in focus!

"Praise Ye the Lord"

Last sunday a church was Grandparents Day. Our childrens choir sang during the service. We sang the song Hallieu, Hallieu. The girls sag the Hallieu and the boys sang Praise ye the Lord. Well I guess I should say, all the boys except Merritt sang, Merritt yelled. It was so funny. After church, all the older people came up to Merritt and were telling him how great he sang. I guess it was because he was loud enough to hear accross the street. lol

Soccer game

Merritt scored three goals in the first quarter of his game. He was so great! In the third quarter, about two minutes into play, Merritt and another kid bump heads and he came off the field crying. There might be a big bruise brewing, cause it is really red! He sat out to "recover" for a while, but did not score anymore. I was acting kind of timid, but that could be beacuse a little girl that he plays with alot showed up. He even held an umbrella for her to keep the sum off!

Tipping....

I am glad to give tips where tips are due. Example: the other night, DH and DS and I went to eat. at a local family resturant. Our waitress was very polite, got the food out on time, got the drinks and anyother things we needed or asked for. We were glad to leave a $4.83 tip on a $20.17 bill. On the other hand, a few days ago at lunch (a a buffet style resturant), the waitress only came to check on our table one time, never re-filled our tea, never siad thank you. Did she deserve a tip?

Hello everyone. Welocme to my blog. I will attempt to share with you all the fun things about "life with Merritt", my ds. Hope you enjoy!
