Ryan's B-Day and stuff

 Ryan's 9th Birthday was on the 22nd so we just had a little family party for him. I can't believe this is my last year having kids in the single digit ages. Gosh I feel old and sad at the same time. My babies are growing up so fast. I remember when people would tell me they grow up so fast and how that saying would bug the crap out of me, but now I find myself saying the same thing because it is so true and sad.

Well  a couple things my kids said to me this month that I thought was funny.  
 ~~Alyssa informed me that her whining is like crack without it I would go crazy she said. "Only if I could get her to realize with It I go crazy"
~~ Joe was wanting me to take him to the Lego store and I told him I had to put my make-up on and he said you wear make up I can't even tell, I thought you were naturally young looking. "Talk about him kissing my ass"
~~ Ryan's friend asked if Ryan could go to his house after school and Ryan told him if my mom meets your mom. So when Ryan was at the park his friends mom asked if it was OK to meet me and Ryan said I am not sure because my mom hates our house because she said we live in the ghetto. Well I never told him that and I swear we live in a really nice area but I did tell Kevin that I feel like our place is ghetto because our door mat that is only 7 months old is falling apart. When anyone steps on it pieces fall off. We went looking at them but I am to cheap to spend $20 on one. Oh ya and the inside of my house is not ghetto either I was just whining not realizing that Ryan was listening to me. I guess I know where my kids get there whining from.

Well this may not be the prettiest looking stuff but Ryan wanted cupcakes and 

ice-cream sandwiches so that is what I made him and it tasted better then it looked.
