Dinner Table Discussions

Kelsey: I'm going to have 5 kids!

Olivia: I'm having 2 kids - at the most.

Anita: (looking at Ben) Yep, she's just like you. (Then, to Olivia) You know, your dad only wanted 2 kids. Aren't you glad I convinced him to have 4?

Olivia: I don't know... I could have done without Maddox turning you into Momzilla every time he keeps you up at night.

Sock Wars

Ben is highly entertained by my obsession with matching the boys' socks. I admit that I take it a little too personally when I do the laundry and end up with three or four matched pairs of the little devils and a slew of mismatched ones left over. 

The reason for this tragedy has something to do with the way the boys treat their footwear. It isn't just that they take off their socks and shoes all over the house. It's that socks left on the floor (in both their bedroom and the living areas) turn into some kind of magical pouch that simply MUST be stuffed full of Legos or rocks or Little People and carried around the house for hours. I often find socks mixed it the toy box or other unexpected spots.

 I recently cleaned under some furniture in the living room and found and entire STASH of random, unmatched socks. I admit, I could wait to wash them and match them. I was a little giddy this morning when I had more matches than leftovers, including a pair of matching black socks for church! 

I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but today I am WINNING the Sock Wars! Woot, woot!
