Why I'm Not Winning "Parent of the Year" Anytime Soon...

Not like I ever even thought that this great honor was a possibility. But I guess compared to Honey Boo Boo's mom, aptly named, "mama," I'm not at the bottom of the barrel! That being said, it's always fun to watch people's faces when we go out in public and the kids act all silly. I'll get to that in a minute. Suffice it to say that I much prefer their weirded-out reactions to a normal smile. Peaceful is boring. With us, there's never a dull moment!

So let's get to Exhibit A.

You probably can't tell in the pics, but they are each wearing at least three pairs of PJ's that Mom-Mom sent. They must have been super hot, but it was more important to get these pics 'cause they looked so darn cute!!!!

...And let's not forget that Avery looks like a boy. Exhibit B.

Exhibit C really sets the bar low. I didn't ask Morgan to do this. In fact, Mollie and I were talking in the kitchen and we heard, "clink, clink, clink!" We turned to see Morgan putting away a case of beer!

 Here we'll note Exhibit D: Avery on a stair. At first glance it doesn't look so bad. Until you hear the conversation:

Avery: Ahhhhh. Mwahhhhhh. Ehhhhhhhh. Blahhhhhh!

Me: Avery, what's wrong?!

Avery: I'm stuck here. I can't move.

Me: Gimme a break. You aren't stuck there. Move it!

Avery: I'm stuck here and I can't get down! WHAAAAAAAAA!

Me: Wait a minute. Stay stuck. Don't move. I'm gonna take your picture.

Avery: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Me: (hee hee!)

Exhibit E: Morgan was sick. She fell asleep on the sofa sitting up. Rather than laying her down, it was more interesting to me to once again snap a pic! How cute is she!!!!

Exhibit F: At the mall. Spent a lot of time chasing them and breaking a sweat which made me smell ripe...kind of vinegary/restaurant-ish. Either way I was stinky. So, when we got to Vicky's and they decided to play "BOO" at potential customers, I could have cared less. Hey - they were in ONE place that didn't require me chasing them. So here is what some random ladies discovered behind the sweatshirts...

BOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But the best moment of all, today, was at Target. We went to get hats for the kids for fall/winter. Avery fell in love with a heart hat that she just had to wear immediately. However, please note that her outfit was already something out of "Cirque Du Soleil" on crack. When she added the hat and gloves she looked, well......interesting.
But that isn't the point. The point is that she was running through the isles and getting in people's way. Kind of like the typical WI driver who sits in the left lane and goes 50, having no clue that there are people who want to go faster....or not caring. Yeah, that was Avery in the isle. So focused on her hat and gloves that as she walked down the left side of the isle she 1. nearly got run over by a cart, 2. went so slow that some lady behind her looked pretty annoyed, and 3. wove back and forth like a little drunkard!
In fact, we called her that in front of the lady whose way she blocked, and the lady looked at us with total distaste! HA! Too funny!

Here's my little drunkard! Love it, right?!?!?!?!
