Ashton came home with all his artwork from the school year yesterday.  This one made me laugh… I mean LAUGH.  I am sure that when he wrote “scait bword” he meant “skate board” BUT… I immediately saw bword as THE B-WORD…bitch.  And why wouldn’t I?  Both my kids LOVE LOVE LOVE to throw around cuss words and think it is okay if they just say the first letter of the word and the word “word.”  Remember when Kaiden was five and did it constantly?  Well Ashton does it too… all the time.  So naturally, I just assumed he KNEW what the hell he was writing.

Plus… seriously… who goes skateboarding with a Spongebob toy and wearing a proper tie?  Ashton does… THAT’S WHO B-WORDS!

I don’t feel I need to explain this in any way, shape or form.  Happy Holiday Weekend everybody - hope you have fun… WE WILL!!!  :cheers:

Yesterday, as my sister was driving me to the airport in Rhode Island to catch my flight home, I got a text message from someone in the 804 area code (Richmond, VA) that did not register on my phone as being a contact.  I LOVE WHEN I GET TEXT MESSAGES LIKE THAT!!!

STRANGER: Hey, where did you get your square muffin pans from?

ME: Dollar Tree.

STRANGER: SERIOUSLY?

ME: I’m dead serious.

STRANGER: K. Thanx.

Kelly and I chuckled and kept on trucking to the airport.  I deleted the texting thread and thought no more about it… until just now:

STRANGER: Well I went to 3 different dollar trees and none had those pans. Didn’t know what I was talking about. U sure that’s where you got it?

ME: Yes.

STRANGER: K.  There are two more I haven’t checked yet. Maybe they have them.

ME: Good luck.

STRANGER: Thx

FREAKING AWESOME!  Totally made my day today!

This morning while I was in the kitchen washing breakfast dishes, Ashton was looking at the calendar on the wall, where I have “TAXES DUE” written in on April 15th and he says the following to me:

ASHTON: Mom, taxes are due on the 15th, did you know that?

ME: Yup buddy, I knew that, but thanks for lookin’ out!

ASHTON: Well I hope you don’t plan on doing any taxation without some representation.

ME: I would never even consider it son!  *chuckling and shaking my head*

ASHTON: WHAT?  What’s so funny mom?  Didn’t you know there is NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION!!!

I love him.  I love him.  A thousand times, I love him.
