What's in a...Sock?

My kids love to carry around purses and bags and, well, anything, apparently, that will hold a bunch of little toys.  It drives me crazy...but they are kids.  I found a sock on the counter last week...mind you, it's a children's small, so not very big.  And it's not even a real sock, it's a sports anklet (note the fuzzy ball).
In case you ever wondered, this is what you can fit inside a sock...

That's hysterical. I'd better not show this picture to my daughter, she'd be sure to take up the challenge!

I love your profile pic - you have a beautiful family and that golden light is just perfect for a beach photo.

I can totally relate to this one! My youngest daughter ALWAYS seems to have at least one tiny treasure in her hands at all times! She is really into Cars disney movie. So it seems like every time we get ready to go to church I have to do the pat down to make sure she didn't sneak a car in her pocket! ;)

Holy Moly that's a lot for a little sock. My kids do the same kind of stuff, but it is usually my stuff I find then toting around. (lipstick, gum, screwdriver, my bra) So embarassing when they want to show the contents of their purse to visitors.

this reminds me of my little girl.

(THE boys aren't so interested in these pack rat tendencies.....)

I love this--I find socks all over the house with all kinds of treasures tucked inside--the bummer of it all is when I find it is a sock stuffed with Jolly Ranchers which has now gone through the washer and dryer!

Loved hearing about your Birth Order 'defiant' kids--join our club! ;o)
Blessings!

That is to funny!
Kids do the craziest things, but without them sometimes we would have nothing to blog about!

This cracks me up! My little guy always has stuff in his shorts pockets which is also where he tells me he keeps his $400 dollars. I'm glad he has $400! Ha! Ha! I also find random things in my hoodie pockets so I'm totally to blame for pocket treasures.

Hahaha, my 18 month old is always carrying a pair of panties on her arm like a purse. So I got her a purse. She could care less. But she still loves those bloomers.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......

A lesson in NOT BEING STUPID

What NOT to say to an adoptive family... Any of you all that know us know that we are an adoptive family...and for those that don't just look at our pic.  It will be obvious.  We are different sizes and shapes and colors.  That's why we call ourselves the "motley crew".  I know, pretty funny. Here's the deal...a few things that I don't need strangers to say to me, or tell me: 1.   I know that I'm white and my #3 daughter is brown.  I live with her.  Your revelation is not mine.   2.   Yes...some of my kids don't look like me.   3.   My kids have ears and are old enough to understand the stupid things you say.  So don't say "where's she from?"  I might have to kill you if you do.  Consider yourself warned. 4.   Just because an AA kid is adopted, doesn't mean they are from Africa.  Look around...here in the US we have AA people too. 5.   Don't ask me which of my kids are my REAL ones.  Clue...we are all real and so are you.....
