Who's your girlfriend?

So...a little background on the two girls who will be mentioned.
Karly (Logan's girlfriend) is a beautiful little girl in his class at school. So sweet and quiet.
Paige is our babysitter, is practically like a sister to me, and sometimes even a daughter. She calls Wade "boyfriend" and has recently actually become serious with a college guy named Miles.

That all being said..... ;)

On the way to school today, Logan told me that he loves "Camp Edge" aka Camp at the EMD Nazarene Campgrounds. I told him "Isn't it neat that you go to the same camp that mommy and daddy went to? That's where we met!" Of course - I clarified that he met Auntie first...and I think that confused him. lol Since we tell the boys "no kissing till you're married", heehee, I can't tell him that that's where he kissed Auntie once! LOL Logan seems to think that Auntie would have....or should have known that "Dad" would be my husband someday - and was shocked that she didn't tell me that they were friends. I explained that it would be just like him and Karly being friends....and her later on marrying Wade. Of course - this sent them giggling! haha! That's when Logan informed me "Karly's not my girlfriend anymore mom!" I asked what happened. "I don't know?!? She just gave me a note the other day that said 'I have a new boyfriend'!" lol "Awww buddy! I'm sorry!"......"That's okay mom...I'm too young for that stuff anyway!" My sweet boy. That's when Wade piped up...."You can have Paige!" "No, Paige is yours.....she's ALLLLL yours!" HA! That's when Wade laughed and said "but Mom....Paige has a new boyfriend....Miles!" Now, this cracks me up because this has been going on for quite some time. Paige comes in the house and says "Hey Boyfriend!" She doesn't call him Wade...only Boyfriend. I think it's because for one, he does have a crush on her ;) and two he's shy....so he gives the cutest smile when she does that! LOL So at this point - I had to explain. I told him "You're her pretend boyfriend remember?!? When Miles is here - he's her boyfriend...and when Miles isn't here...you're her boyfriend!" and if you know Wade....his response of "Oooooooooo" was just too funny and cute!

At the end of the conversation - I asked Logan "Hey buddy! Who's Karly's new boyfriend?!?" He said..."I don't know! The note didn't say!" LOL

Oh the innocence of little kids. They crack me up!

I don't want to hear it!

So...Logan yesterday told me he had a bad day...well...one thing bad happened...(he lied to the principle). He filled me in on everything - and the principle (Mr. Pederson) and his teacher Mrs. Domke took care of it. So - I didn't feel as though extra discipline was needed unless it happens again. That being said....He also told me this:

"Today Mr. Pederson came into our class to do history." (He meant "current events" b/c apparently when the class doesn't have phy. ed. the principle will come in and go over current events with the class) "He started reading about Barak Obama and I raised my hand and said 'Mr. Pederson, I don't want to hear about Barak Obama. I don't want to hear ANYTHING that he's doing or ANYTHING about him! Can I go sit in the hall and wait until you're done reading about him?!?' " LOL Mr. Pederson said "Sure - wait in the hall and I'll let you know when I'm done". LOL

Now, I haven't taught Logan this. We did not vote for the man - BUT - he is our president and at some point - Logan will have to learn about him and his time as president. But...for now - it's pretty funny in our book! HAHA!

Granny's Funeral

So - today wasn't going to be an easy day....I knew that! It was instantly made more difficult when my husband was seated in a different area because he was a pole bearer. Thankfully I had one of my closest and dearest friends with me - Becky. She sat in the next aisle ready to take Camden should he not sit still well enough. Thank goodness! Camden had to go potty early in service...and other than that....he just couldn't sit still! With Logan and Wade bickering and fighting over gamboys etc...I had had enough! Camden went out to the lobby with Becky and watched a movie - while I handled the other two.

Before we got to the church - I specifically told the kids that things would be "different" at this church than what they're used to and to ask questions AFTER the service.......yeah.....they really did do okay - but a couple times they just couldn't help themselves! lol

The priest lifted the communion and sang some monotype-ish song....that really didn't take long at all.....and sounded like what cartoons have monks singing....okay - so you have that in your head. I looked at Logan and Wade expecting.....expecting.....exactly what I saw! haha! Logan's face was contorted in a "what in the world" kind of face! Thankfully - he listened to my instructions to be quiet and I'd answer his "why in the world did he do that?" question.

So....we make it a few more minutes......

Then comes the incense ball? I am not Catholic....so if you are and you read this - please know that I am not being disrespectful....I just do not know the customs and have a hard time explaining what I "see". Okay - that being said -

The priest brought out the incense ball and started swinging it around the casket. Why? I really don't understand...but I will tell you that it was a very....VERY.....thick smell. I honestly started to gag.....and I could feel my lungs not wanting to allow this foul air into my lungs....BUT - before I could really respond to that - I look down at Wade who has his hand in the air and plugging his nose saying "that stinks Mom!".....okay....so - as I try to get him shushed lol Logan says "Why is he doing that Mom?!? That really smells bad!! *cough*cough*cough* I smell flowers *cough*cough*cough* or trees! *cough*cough*cough* So - here we are quite the group. I can't hardly breath, Wade's plugging his nose complaining of the smell, and Logan's hacking up a storm trying to guess what the scent is! LOL

All I can say - is that if Gran were there - she would've been laughing like crazy! I sure will miss her!!!!
