Brainectomy

Tori, Harper, Hayden, Landon. TORI, HARPER, HAYDEN, LANDON! This is what I've been listening to for the past 5 hours. WHY? It's a direct result from lack of homework. The girls are so desperately bored out of their minds that they are now competing over who can say the names of their cousins the fastest. ~Tori, Harper, Hayden, Landon... Toriharperhaydenlandon. They've said it in every possible way. They've stood on their heads, said it backwards while holding their tongues, and even tried to say it with water in their mouth. The water thing ended with Savannah choking and then coughing until she vomited. And still she is so desperately bored that she asked for a redo only to cough and vomit again. Tori HARPER HAYDENlandon. AHHHGGG!

After putting a halt to the 'name your cousins til you vomit game', the girls quickly came up with a more exciting game which they have named 'The Sticky fingers challenge'. This game involves gluing two fingers together with the super glue that came in the 'kid safe' glamour nail set and seeing who can pull their fingers apart the fastest. After they figured out that the glue wasn't coming off anytime soon and the fact that they were quite possibly disfigured for life, they returned to the first game... Tori, Harper, Hayden, Landon...

Meanwhile, Hudson is running around and announcing to anyone that will listen that his poopie has nuts in it (I know~ too much info!) "Poopie nut poopie nut!" and when the girls wouldn't let him join in the Sticky fingers game he called them a poopie nut. So now I am listening to a choir of shouts, "Tori, Harper HAYDEN LANDON" and Hudson shouting in between each name, "Poopie nut Poopie nut." I guess that poopie thing comes with the age. For some unknown reason four year old boys find anything with the word 'poopie' extremely funny. Just about all of Hudson's speech has the poopie word mixed in there. Poopie lawnmower, poopie bedtime, poopie soap, you're a poopie head, I can make a poopie bubble (fart), even during his counting lessons he says, one poopie, two poopie, three poopie... The poopie talk never ends. A few months ago, Hudson referred to the ABC's as the AB-Peepee's after he learned the letters LMNOP. "Peepee, LMNO Peepee!!!!!"

School at the Gibson home will be starting tomorrow! Homework (lots of homework) will be assigned on the first day of school! ***Anyone currently looking for a job should checkout craigslist. I've heard there is a listing for a home school sub teacher needed ASAP. The only requirements are that you find 'poopie' funny!

Featuring: The Bubbling Commode!

This Afternoon as my sweet little boy was sound asleep upstairs in his bedroom I decided to catch up on a few unread emails.
About an hour later I heard the strangest sound. It was a gurgling sound coming from the master bedroom's bathroom. I was somewhat afraid to get up and look. Instead of running in there I stood hiding near the door and took a quick peek. I'm not sure what I was afraid of seeing, but I've seen those TV shows where snakes come slithering out of the toilet when you least expect it (I know

it's an urban legend, but it could happen!) I was definitely not prepared to see bubbles overflowing from the toilet. With each gurgle that the toilet made the bubbles grew larger and larger. I've NEVER seen anything like it before. One thing came to mind...

HUDSON! What did he do and where is he at? I ran upstairs and found the little stinker dumping his third bottle of shampoo down the toilet. The children's bathroom (upstairs) is located directly above the master bathroom (downstairs). Somehow all of the bubbles foamed up in the pipe and had nowhere to go except out the toilet downstairs. It took another hour before the gurgling and bubbles stopped. As for Hudson, well he's proud at how clean he got the toilet and the bubbles were pretty neat too!

Driving school for tots!

Hudson took to driving like a fish to water, but lately he seems to be somewhat of a daredevil. He figured out that he could sit on the hood of his car and use a "STICK" to reach down and press the pedal. So then he is facing backwards and driving down the street. Yesterday I saw him standing on the hood of his car and pressing the pedal with a broom stick. I hope our insurance man doesn't see this. I have a strong feeling that Hudson will be paying very high prices for auto insurance when the time comes. Robert tries to calm my nerves by telling me that "It's totally normal for a little boy to be dangerous and crazy. Just be happy he isn't 16 yet, because that's when it gets really bad!" Thanks honey, I feel so much better now.

Savannah received her birthday present from the GP's early this year. Her old bike had a bad relationship with air and the tires never held any. So she decided she wanted a new one for her birthday. Daddy put slime in the tires, so hopefully maybe the new bike will keep it's tires inflated through summer.

We all love our new piano and we are so very grateful to Neenee & Pappy for providing us with such a wonderful gift. Tonight for Prayer 5-T night we were all very excited to use the new piano for our singing (and dancing,) Addy provided us with the music while Vannie and Azzy performed a dance. Hudson and Weston provided snacks and a tumbling act. Addy and Taylor played a tune together on the piano. Lastly, Hudson gave the prayer and Azzy lead our goodnight song. The piano is Awesome.
