-Cos I don't cook
-I get the kids Mac-Donalds normally on a Friday after school (the only day we get take-outs, that is my rule, the rest of the week we eat healthily, so once a week we can binge! although I wouldn't call a happy meal binging! ha ha)
-It's movie night with Hubby
-Saturdays I can sleep in! yay!
So I'm standing in the kitchen yesterday, minding my own business-actually I was preparing dinner, when I feel what is like an earthquake start to happen! But it wasn't..it was my daughter standing behind me, thinking it would be hilarious to place both her hands on my butt and shake it with all the strength in her 4 year old hands! I didn't know whether to laugh, or grab the custard out the fridge and pour it over my jelly bum! ha ha!!!! Anyway after a few minutes it stopped wobbling (okay so I am exaggerating a bit, but man, I really need to do more butt exercises at gym! ) Isn't it lovely the things our kids do? Or remind us about?
It reminds me of all the times I have been out with them as much smaller toddlers and them saying things like (normally at a busy, packed shopping mall)
"Mommy, look at that man, he has no hair...like daddy" (lol!) DH is a tad bald! He shaves it really short though so you can't really tell! ha ha.
Or in the change room (which I haven't done since then with either of them,-I refuse!!) Once my daughter (she was much younger about 2 and a half) knelt down and peeped into the next doors change room and popped her head back in and said really loudly,"Mommy lady has big bum!!!"
*earth you may now swallow me up!*
Actually speaking of embarrassing moments the other day I took my daughter to a public bathroom at the mall and it is one of those where the stalls walls go all the way to the bottom, but is open at the top and under the door. So we are in there and the bathroom is really quiet, I thought we were the only ones in there. Then I hear this loud splash like a cargo box falling out a airplane and landing in a river. My daughter shouts at the top of her voice "SIS! SOMEONE IS MAKING A POO!!" I nearly fell over trying hard not to laugh out loud. I had to really control myself and say, "Shhh, you mustn't be rude! "I had a choice : either get out of there as quickly as possible or wait until cargo lady had left and then leave, saving us both the embarresment. Thank goodness cargo lady left first!

Oh man, I'm sorry I had to laugh, too funny, brought back many, many memories.
As a mom to 4 girls, from 7-17, you can bet there have been a ton of those moments. Once we were in a restaruant, my eldest was somewhere between 18months & 2, youngest 3months -10months. Where finishing our diner, and they bring wipes so we can wash her hands, and she turns to my husband and says, loudly, "daddy, it's ok, I'm not that dirty, go clean the man over there, he's really dirty!" We look behind us and there's a family behind us and the husband was a black man. She hadn't realized the difference before. Well I was so embarrassed, we both were. I explained to my daughter, "hunny, he's not dirty, that's his skin colour, you see hunny, God made people in all different colours. See how daddy's skin is a little darker then mommy's" (my husband is Italian and has that olive skin tone, where I'm very pale. "I said there's no difference between him and us except his skin colour, because if God made us all look the same, no one could tell us appart, so he made people of all colour, differnt hair, eyes, but we're all God's children." She was about to ask some questions when the man stood up, OMG!!! he was huge!!! must have been a body builder, my husband who was smaller then, was quite worried, lol. He started walking towards us, my husbands thinking oh oh. He came up asked to shake our hands, and said, "thank you, I've never heard anyone explain the difference in people the way you did to your daughter, I'm amazed" Then he starts laughing hard and says, you know what she said is the funniest thing though you have to admit that, is this her first time seeing a black man, and I explained no, but I think it's the first time she actually realized there was a difference in skin tone, as we treat people all the same, what I said to her I ment, we are all created by God, we might look different but inside we're the same. I think we were both surprised by the experiance, and now that's she's older, I tell her about it, and she still gets embarrassed that she did that, sometimes to the point that she still appologizes to her friends that are of colour, of course they don't know why she's appologizing, so she explains it to the, and they laugh of course, and well she gets even more embarrased, but at least they laugh.
Kids, gotta love them, but boy can they say embarrassing things, lol.

TY so very much for part 4 & the great laugh!!!
Children can say the funniest things!!!
Have a great weekend!!!!
HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!
Bon - lovely pages. No real stories about my son, but I learned over the summer that you're never too old for your Mum to embarrass you so that you wish the earth would swallow you up [luckily I observed it, not that it happened to me!].
ROFL - my DH is too young to say/do things like that yet! However, my lil sis was about 2-3 the first time she saw anyone who wasn't very pale complected (we lived in a super tiny mountain community). We were eating at one of 2 restaurants (this one was brand new) and she asked my mom, at the top of her lungs, if that man who is black all over nice (he was the chef). My mom just about died, but the chef came over and introduced himself and said he was very nice - he even took us on a quick tour if the kitchen (this was 20+ years ago).
Kim sent us over from her blog - you guys are so hilarious! Have a great weekend!
Had a good laugh today- very funny!! Love your new cards, gorgeous as usual! Lawrence our brother told the parents of my boyfriend that I had a new boyfriend, in front of a whole group of their friends and family(which I had, but had not had the courage to tell the old one!)I was so embarrassed and tried to back peddal but the cat was out of the bag!!He was about 8 at the time!! haha, now I can laugh about it!
I guess kids can say just about anything to make their parents turn red. When my son (who is now grown) was about 6, he seemed to hear and repeat anything and everything and was also very proud of his reading skills and loved to show them off. I was in the department store one day with him and was talking to the clerk about the particular bra I was looking for and a minute later this loud little voice rang out saying "Mom, here are a bunch of 38 Cs". Needless to say, everyone around me got a good laugh. But he was so proud of himself and he had found the right size. Babydoe@airmail.net
Thank you so much for the laugh. My daughter does that to me, too. She thinks my bum is her private playground. Anyway, thanks, too, for part 4. Have a great weekend.
Your pages are just gorgeous. You have really inspired me. Yes, we DID it!!! 21 days!! Have a great weekend especially since you don't have to cook today!!
Thank you for sharing!!!
I like your funny page...
for the most embarassing thing, my children are too small now !!
But...nearly!!!
Thank you! The DigiFree freebie search engine is about to list this blog post at digifree.blogspot.com
LOL oh man your kids are a riot! I could write a book about all the embarrassing things my daughter said when she was younger. Wait now that she's older she still says embarrassing things now she just knows how to whisper lol. Man you give away awesome goodies, too bad Im now on a 'diet' lol or I'd have both hands & feet up for that drawing lol. Thanks for the goodies & laughs
I just found your blog through KIMB today. When my son was about three we went to church. You know when it gets to the very quiet part when no one says anything...well my three year old pipes up with, "I'd rather be dead than be in church." If I could have crawled under a pew I would have. He is now grown up and has a Master's degree and I am wondering if what goes around comes around. I sure hope so.
Oh Bonnie, You made me laugh this morning. Aren't children wonderful!!
We were at the bank, very crowded, mostly men and my youngest in diapers at the time has gas...BAD Noisy GAS...I was so embarrassed but the men in line thought it was extremely funny!
Enjoyed reading your blog today especially about the cargo lady. The other day we were eating like a family dinner which we hardly ever do. My husband is always working. Well, this time he was at the table eating too and Naomi says, "You are Fat, Daddy." I almost fell off my chair. I told her that was not nice and to say sorry. He has gained a lot of weight in the past month. And then the other day she said to me, "You have a big Butt Mommy." Wonder where she is learning this from? Thanks for the link.
And that's the reason I don't have children LOL I wouldn't be able to deal with things like those, and I know for sure my children would be of the kind that make that kind of thing on a daily basis, I just need to remember what I did when I was growing up. LOL
The pages are fabulous, I love days 15 (terrific cut-outs),16( I love the heart with the quote inside), 17, 18 (fantastic background image), 19. Thanks so much for sharing the pages with us, they are really beautiful and inspiring. :)
Thanks also for the link and best wishes. :O)
As usual, I love your work. I would like to have a chance in the drawing, to have something from you:)
