Forgot to Post this funny question

I forgot to post this question that Matthew asked me one night while we were getting ready for bed.

This was totally out of the blue too... He asked, "Mom, what's this squishy sack called that holds my nuts?"

I had no idea what to say! So of course, I said, "uh, scrotum?"

Um....How thoughtful?

Yesterday marked the 100th day Matthew was in school so far this year so of course it comes complete with fun activities and what not. Each kid had to bring to school 100 pieces of something to eat to combine into a snack and 100 pieces of something else to count. Matthew brought fruit loops and tooth picks.

Anyway, Matthew came home with his packet of papers celebrating the 100th day. I was looking through it and noticed a page where he was to draw a picture of what he will look like at 100 years old. So he drew a picture of him and Phoenix looking like old men with glasses on each holding a cane. Then I noticed a gravestone beside Matthew, it was hard to make out, but I could definitely see RIP on it. So I asked Matthew about it. He said, "oh that's you Mom. I put Mom-RIP." Oh my. That child of mine.

As far as his Dad goes, who knows what happened to him, there was no grave stone, when I asked Matthew where his dad was, he said that he was 1,000,000 years old. Sheesh.

Not sure who's better off? Living to be a million years old or dead in the ground? At least he was thinking about me, in a creepy, dead sort of way! LOL

Happy New Year!!! 2013!!!!

Here's to a new year, a new me, and a new "us" in 2013. We are going to work on our eating habits by eating smaller portions. It'd be hard to cut out everything we like to eat, that would just equal failure! We are going to ex.... uh.... exercise more too. Our little family could definitely use more of that. Sean goes to the gym currently and now just to get Matthew more active to. He's definitely not the athletic type but I figure I can plan for more days at the park or something to sneak exercise in on him. I am starting out slowly... a few push ups here, a few crunches there, working with some weights and up-ing my water consumption.

So here's to hoping!
