And now a few words from my little smarty pants drama king...
*"I had so many hopes and now they're all gone. Just gone!"
-on having to leave the house for a little while when he didn't want to.
*"We should get a pet snake, because, y'know, well ... think about it - they're so cute."
-yesterday, on something that is NEVER going to happen in this house.
*Adam: "Where do you get snake food?"
Mommy: "Snakes eat live mice. Isn't that gross? Would you really feed a snake a cute little mouse that's still alive?"
Adam: "Well, we'll only feed him the ones that aren't cute. The cute ones will have to get their own house."
Mommy: "Never gonna happen, my friend."
Adam: (distressed) "Not even when I'm grown up?"
Mommy: "When you are grown up and have your own house you can get a pet snake, but you have to keep it where I can never see it."
Adam: "Okay, I'll keep it in the garage and put a sign up that says WARNING DO NOT COME IN HERE MOMMY."
P.S. Bella (who Adam would do ANYTHING for, including giving her six gumballs out of his twelve pack) came over yesterday. With great hope in my heart, I said "Bella, would you ever get a pet snake?" Bella's a feminine girl, soI truly hoped and basically expected she would say no. "Sure," she said, "because I love animals."
*My friend, Cara, has this little refrigerator set that allows kids to spell three-letter words. Then, when you press a button the magnet will "say" the word out loud. Recently, Adam spelled the word 'foe.' "Adam," said Cara, "do you know what a foe is?" "Yes," he said, "it's like a nemesis."
*Lastly, just to see who is reading this - baby Hooten is due December 22nd. Still in a state of shock. We did want one more, just not quite this soon. Yes, I do know how it happens, but that doesn't mean I thought it actually would. I'm not supposed to be able to do this without medical intervention. Leave me a comment and let me know you're reading this!
Until next time...

Not that I dont love them and would take more Hootens any day!!! I am the "lady" that Thomas knows Instantly.....Planning on being there for the delivery and after for about 2 weeks sis...if I can get this machine (Office) oiled well enough to leave that long...then drive the kids back to MO for Christmas.
