How Big is a Chicken??

This, among other ridiculous fights, I am privileged to hear almost everyday at my house, usually when they're supposed to be eating breakfast...I wish you could read the tones in their voices....

Adalie: Dad! How big is a chicken!?!
Brett: I don't know, this big? (holding his hands to an appropriate size of a chicken)
Adalie: See!?!
Cason; Well, what about a BABY chicken!?!

ok, that one was a fair question I suppose..

The other day it was How big is Mickey Mouse? or Does Santa's sleigh bells Ring or Ding? Cason has entered the phase of ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING being a race. Putting on jamies,, finishing breakfast, getting their shoes on....and he is NOT a gracious winner. Anything Adalie says, Cason will say the opposite just to disagree and start a fight. I am pretty sure this kid was put on this earth to test my patience...and I feel like I lose quite often. Sheesh kid! I love ya, but you my dear are literally giving me my grey hairs.

The other day, Brett was taking out the trash. As he was tying up the bag he says to Adalie...

Brett: Man Adalie, what did you and mom do without me for all those months!?! (in a joking sort of tone)
Adalie: (thinking it over a bit) Fight.

Nice to know our time together was precious.
We do fight, probably a lot and she knows it. But, it is sweet to hear her say at the end of the day that even though families fight a lot sometimes, we still love each other lots more.

More Adalie-isms....

Adalie: It's hard being a mom and dad huh?
Brett: Yes it is Adalie
Adlaie: Well, its even harder being a big sister you know...

All is right...

..in the world, at least for the moment. My hubby is home after 6 months away from home. I am such a big baby the whole time he was gone, but I am SO happy he is back. I cannot believe there are single parents out there who can do so well!! Or army wives...man y'all are amazing!! Anywho, I have oh so much to catch up on with blogging. My hubby even got me a new computer (which should be here very shortly woot, woot) and I promised i would blog all the time. So look out people, (or anyone who even bothers with this thing anymore) you're about to get so annoyed with all the stuff  I have to post about!!
