This morning Hunter caught me hiding out in my bed reading. I hadn't even gotten out of bed yet and John told me Hunter and Brody were awake and downstairs. I could hear they were just playing so I grabbed my book-club book for the month (Gone Girl...amazing if you haven't read it) and started in. A girl has deadlines. Book Club is tomorrow and I have 130 pages left.
A few minutes go by and Hunter creeps into my bed, lies down next to me and says, "Mah-ahhmmm!" (that's Mom but with a tiny bit of a whine to it) "Why are you up here reading?"
Me: You caught me!
Hunter: But I'm hungry!
Me: Well then go make yourself some boo-bah (code word for breakfast in our house. When the twins were little they called breakfast "boo-bah."
Hunter: (very dramatically) "But I make HORRIBLE boo-bah! You make the best boo-bah."
Me: "Ok, what kind of boo-bah you want?"
Then Brody pipes in with, "I want ICE CREAM BOO-BAH!"
Then a little while later when I was on the stairs coming down Hunter comes up to me with the phone and says (again, dramatically), "Brody had the PHONE!"
Me: "Ok."
Hunter: "Not Ok! He could have CALLED 911!"
Brody: "I didn't call 911!"
Hunter: "Brody, you have a 61% chance of calling 911!"
About Me
- juliecollins
- Mom to four little boys, Hunter (8), twins, Tyler and Brody (4 years) and Greyson (2 years) and wife of 13 years to the love of my life and best friend, John. I keep busy but I love it!! Maybe not every second of every day but that's what this blog is sometimes about! I want to document the good and the bad regardless of who reads it. My purpose behind blogging is so that I can remember these fleeting moments someday when my children are grown and have families of their own. Maybe they'll read a few entries someday, maybe not, either way I'm doing this for me!
