Pay to get out!

We are completely out of our house, the new owners are moving in. We have been staying at our apartment for one week now, and trying to get everyone into a routine at our new place.

Every morning for a week, it went like this.  Get up, get ready for school, bags, purses, lunch, etc.

Head to the door, grab the bag of trash out of the kitchen, go to the car, load the trash in the trunk, (YUCK) and drive to the entrance to deposit the trash in the dumpster. Every day!

Thursday, Trash to the dumpster, and Oh Yeah, I'm gonna run into the office and pay the rent. (By the entrance to the apartments).

Conner-- "What are you doing?"

Me- "We have to pay to live here."  "I am paying them."

That was fine for him.

The next morning, same ol thing, trash to the dumpster, back in car, put it in drive,

from the backseat "WAIT!!!"

Conner- "You didn't pay to get out!"

Me- "What?'

Conner - "Yesterday you went in and paid them money so we could get out!"

Me- "No, that was rent money so we can live here, just once a month."

Conner- "So, they are gonna let us out for FREE today?"

Can You Drive that?

Yesterday, Conner was with my parents. I had been driving the pick up truck that day and Steve was in the work van. We met at Best Buy to park the work van and head to Santa Claus together.

That night, we got back to Best Buy, Conner with us this time and Steve got out to drive the work van and I slid across the front seat of the pick up truck. Conner said "Hey, What are you doing?"

I said "Sliding across so I don't have to jump down out of this big truck."

Conner said "Do you know how to drive this thing?"

Wow, being questioned by a three year old. I said "Why, Yes I do."

5 minutes down the road, Conner said, "Well, I guess you do know how to drive this thing, you are doing pretty good."

Diarrehea

I was telling Conner that I picked up a gift for his friend Morgan's Birthday. He said "What did we gt her?"  I said " We got her a Diary."  He said "We're giving her Diarrhea?"  He was so serious.

Welcome Charlie

We added a Guinea Pig to our family Friday. We adopted Charlie and gave him a home.

He is Conner's pig and his responsibility. He talked to Charlie all the way home from the pet store. The conversation went something like this.

"Hi Charlie, my name is Conner." "I am your owner."

"I will feed you, and water you, and walk you."

"You can live in my room"

"It's OK Charlie, we are almost home."

Then he sang to Charlie to calm him down.

 

Conner helps out a lot with Charlie. So far, he is enjoying his responsibility.

 

Daycare Carnival Fundraiser

This was the second year for the Daycare Carnival Fundraiser. It is a way for the kids to be at daycare with their parents, get to know other parents and teachers, and make some money for arts and craft supplies for the daycare. We also get to visit with all of Conner's old teachers and classmates families that we don't get to see all the time.

 

 

 

 

Camping Deam Lake

Labor day weekend, we went camping at Deam Lake by Louisville. We experienced 3 inches of Rain from Hurricane Isacc, but we didn't let that stop us. We visited the Louisville Mega Caverns, Joe's Crab shack. and Hard Rock Cafe in Louisville. Around the camper, we played play dough, candy land, trucks, airplanes, and fished.

 

Picking a flower for his momma without being prompted.

Flower delivery!

Show -n- tell

For the second time in a row, Conner has taken his tractor and trailer for Show-n-tell.

 

Time Out can be TOO CUSHY!

Steve put Conner in time out today at my parents house. He told him to sit in this chair and don't move. Steve had to go outside so I took over the time out watch. Conner got off the chair, and I said "What seems to be the problem that you got off the chair?"

Conner's reply "I don't want to take my Time Out in this COMFY CHAIR."

Countdown is on

We have just a few weeks left in our house. We have made so many memories here.

I am afraid Conner will never remember living here.

 

Jesus

Conner and I have been reading about Jesus. I explained last night that Jesus was born in a manger to Mary and Joseph. Conner said "I thought Jesus was a man."

I said "Well, he is a man, but he started out as a baby, just like you did."

He thought about it and replied "Well, what daycare did he go to?"

I was taken off guard and said "Deaconess."

Today, Conner and I were talking about how you shouldn't pick your nose and how some of his classmates eat their boogers. He then asked me why God put little hairs inside our noses.

I had the correct medical answer for this question. 

He is always thinking!

More Funnies

One weekend I was telling Conner that I was going to a baby shower and he was gonna stay home with daddy.

His reply: "Do they have a bathtub there?"

A few weeks ago when Conner stayed at Shirley's sick from school, I picked him up and was driving down the Loyd. I heard him in the back seat having a conversation

"I just don't know, maybe I will Pick it up" and a whole bunch of jabber.

I said "What did you say?"

He said "Nothing"

 I said "I thought I heard you talking."

He said "Oh, I am just talking to myself like Nanny does all the time!"
