Taking Care of Mommy

Mommy got in a car accident today. I'm fine, the car's not. However, I'm starting to get that typical body aches and pains after the adrenaline rush is over... Sean started rubbing my neck and back asking "Is that making it feel better?" While it really didn't do anything for my discomfort, it temporarily made me forget about it since he was being so sweet about taking care of me. I love when he's being sweet and concerned.

What Did You Say?

I'm in Houston (again) and when I travel I call Sean every morning, after school and before bed.

This morning I was getting off the phone with him and told him,
"Have a good day and do your best at school today."

Sean: "Mommy! What did you say?"

Me: "Do your best at school today"

Sean: "What?"

Me: (much slower) "I said, do your best at school today."

Sean: "I thought you said make a mess at school today."

Apparently he was making sure he heard me right. Michael and I were laughing pretty hard. It was a nice start to my day.

Backseat Driver

Every parent is guilty of saying negative things to other drivers on the road (some more than others.) As of lately, Sean complains when we are in traffic muttering "Geeez... move!" The one that really made me laugh... we were approaching a stop behind a line of cars at a green light, and Sean yells, "Com'on people it's GREEN!" I'm thankful that he hadn't picked up some of Michael's slip ups.

Trick Or Treat

Sean was going to be an astronaut this year, because he just had to have a NASA pumpkin suit when we took him and Dylan to the Houston Space Center over the summer. Then when we went to the Fall Festivals over the last couple of weeks he wanted to dress up in his Batman "dress up" clothes. When I came home Wednesday and mentioned something about dressing up like a stick person when we took him out for Halloween, guess what? He wanted to be one too. So here is Sean's costume... the little stick boy. He got lots of compliments and some of the older elementary aged kids were saying they wanted to do this for next year. I didn't get a picture of it, but mommy was a pink stick person. It was definitely unique.

Festive Treats

Sean and I spent the morning making candy covered pretzle stix. Here is the end result. It wasn't that hard to make these, but it was time consuming to get the details on them. They didn't come out "perfect" but Sean was happy with them.
