Happy Monday to all!
In an effort to keep all 3 of you reading entertained, I thought I would share my Parker story with you. We went swimming Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon, after a long day both kids were working my nerves. I told my Mother they don't make enough Xanax for me as my kids were worn out and hungry, not a good combination. Anyway, I had gotten on to Parker several times in a very short period of time. As I walk into the den, I see Parker with her 'Prayer hands" and she was moving her mouth as though she was talking but no sound.
Me: Are you praying?
P: Yes Mommy
Me: What are you asking for?
P: I asked God to give you (as in me) a new attitude
Me: Why do I need a new attitude?
P: Because you hurt my feelings and almost made me cry
Me: Mommy's sorry, I hope you get what you ask for
P: Me too!
Our night did get better. Both kids went to bed early. Well, Grant actually went to bed, Parker laid down on the couch and went to sleep almost immediately! And because I am the ultimate Mommy -- I made her a super lunch for camp today and forgot to take it in. I saw her little pink lunchbox on the floorboard of my car when I got to work. ARGH! I called the school to see what time her class eats lunch so we could send something else for her and Mrs. Barbara told me not to worry, she could have pizza or a hot dog. Have I ever mentioned I work 25 miles away from my kids' schools? I was thrilled they have a back up plan for scatterbrained Mommies!

Crack me up. Parker is so darn cute when it comes to praying! At this age, they crack me up what their little brains are thinking. Just amazes me sometimes what comes out of Madeline's mouth , and her friends.
Keep up the great work on the blog. More people read it than you know. I have met and chatted with a lot of people that blog. Check out on my blog a story under, "The O"Connor Five" and then click and read my response too....it's a small world!
Hope you had a great weekend. Before we know it our little girls will be in their uniforms heading off to their first day of Kindergarten....sniff sniff
Yeah - I don't always comment - which is bad - but I'm always reading!! :) I don't think I could have kept a straight face after that conversation.
Yes, it is pretty clear that your Parker is a girl :) We tried to do the same thing and go with a girly middle name . . . still so many people said / say "For a girl?" Maybe that's why I call her PG so much!
