House Rules

For FHE tonight we drove around looking at *houses for sale, watched **Billy Ray Cyrus perform "Achy Breaky Heart" via you tube, and tickled the kids until their belly's were ***pink.

*We don't really want to buy, and looking at houses isn't really that enticing when all we can afford has condemned signs out front.
** Was the mullet really alive in the generation I grew up in?
***Sometimes when kids are really being a pill, and you can't spank them, you should tickle them until they say uncle.


We have been talking a lot about rules with Noelle lately. These are the MAUGHAN FAMILY RULES we have to remind her of:

• Don't drink the bath water.
• If its not food and it goes in your mouth, mom takes it away. (Its like having a puppy!)
• Don't put Strawberry shortcake (the doll) in your nose.
• Food goes in the kitchen.
• No hitting, kicking, biting, or poking Jadon in the eye.
• No shoes in the house.

These are the rules (rule) we want Jadon to learn:

• Don't bite the (achem) that feeds you.

Life with two kids has switched things up a bit. Its amazing how kids can make you so happy and so crazy at the same time. I feel really blessed in my life right now, which is ironic because there is a lot going on and I really do feel like I am going crazy. As crazy as it is, this little boy's smile always pulls me in:

Aren't my boys handsome! I wish my photoshop was working so I could edit the red-eye....

"NICE!"
