Funny things my spawn does and thensome

So Saturday we head out for a little more school shopping. The one thing I must not leave without are shoes for the kids,,Christina, do not forget shoes..OK got it. will remember to get shoes...

We also had an appointment to get baby spawns photo taken. For her 2nd birthday which is next Monday. They got some cute shots of her. Then I wanted to get a few with all 3 spawns. That is when toruble began. Baby spawn had sat thro enough smiling and sitting like a little angle bit. In the photos of all 3 of them..Not one turned out good. At lease one kid in every photo was looking a bit , shall I dare say,......ODD...But I got the pic with them all least looking ODD...Only one who looks odd in this one is middle spawn..Looks like she has seen the coming of the Lord with her eyes so big and all...I think this fall we will try to get a better photo..I want to get one taken outside with the falling leaves on the grass...That would be a cool one..

We get done with all the nonsense and head out for lunch before we head home. We go to this place called McCormics...It is Irish..Everything in there is painted green and there are pictures of painted shamrocks all about...
My oldest spawn gets very excited. The waitress comes over and he says to her
OS: " I am Irish you know?"
Waitress: " Oh really?"
OS: " plus my birthday is March 17th."
W: " so I guess this makes you double Irish then huh?"
OS: " yup sure does"

My hubby and I look at eachother wondering where his Irish roots are.

Then a while later he gets acting real weird..He is now putting on a show for us..He turns to hubby and says " so, tell me a little about yourself"
Hubby just looks at him, have you lost your mind..
Then oldest spawn says " My name is Jack, and I am looking for my family"
Then they play around a bit with his act there..Then oldest spawn gets up and sits at a table all by himself..Like he is waiting for someone or something..Then hubby signals him back over..He comes back to the table and asks if we would like to adopt him...

I think the folks sitting at the table behind us thought we were all crazy..Which would not be a stretch my any means..

We get in the van and head for home...Half way home I realize something....I FORGOT SHOES...Crap, I can not believe I forgot the one thing I came for...So today we may have to take another run..

Then we get home and I get the mail and we have a letter from the school..It is a note saying who middle spawn will have for a teacher...And tells when the open house is and the first day of school..

This whole time I was going to send my kids to school on Sept 6th..That is for some reason when I thought they started..Good thing I read the note and not just skimmed thro it..School starts Sept 1st..I have no idea what I was thinking..And who starts school on a Thursday?..So now they go back next week...I am so excited....I am jumping right now...Jumping for joy that is:-)

I guess that is it for now...Have a good Sunday...Toodles

Your oldest is too funny. This is sort of along the lines when he said, something about being in another family. Maybe, this is the scenarios he is playing in his mind. Giving him that date night or maybe re-doing something new about his room--would give him something different to be thinking about . . . just an idea. He seems very sociable. :)

Hope today's shoe trip is quick and successful! Take care. :)

LOL! Your kids are so funny. I'm laughing about the photo shoot and the line about "the coming of the Lord" ROFL!... It is TOO MUCH to ask for 3 kids to sit still and look normal for a photo.

Our school start day is Aug 26 - a FRIDAY! Isn't that retarded? I wonder what's up with that.

At least they start in Sept - we start on Wed the 24th, (well actually grades 3-12 start on Wed, K-2 don't start until the next day - and then it's only half days until the 29th.)
