This is a conversation between Chad and Brennan at dinner tonight. (Note: we have agreed to give Brennan an allowance each time he cleans up the playroom, bedroom, and any other area of the house he messes up. But he can only get the money if he does so without complaining, or without having to be fussed at. He gets 25 cents each time, and you can call me cheap if you want to, but a highly motivated 5 year old with $$$ signs in his eyes---well, it can add up FAST!)
Brennan: Daddy, you owe me $2 tonight.
Chad: Why do I owe you $2?
Brennan: Because I was a big boy and cleaned up the playroom twice. Once yesterday and once when you and Mama were coming home from work tonight.
Chad: Brennan, you are NOT getting $1 every time you clean up. That's one or more dollars a day and we don't have that kind of money. BUT, I will give you a whole dollar from yesterday because you picked up really good after the company left our house yesterday. We appreciate that.
Brennan: Okay, Daddy. Well, I would like that dollar with the number TEN on it, please.
Oh, what a smart, smart boy.......
This is my life....

- Welcome to a small piece of our world. I am a wife and mother who loves raising my family in the south, and I couldn't imagine living anywhere BUT the south. There is nothing like living in the heart of Dixie. Blogging is my therapy and this site is where I come to share humor and hopefully share some smiles and laughs with you. I work 2 days a week as a dental assistant, and stay home the rest of the week raising my 3 beautiful children. The things we love at our house include, but are not limited to: trains, trucks, and dirt, the Bible, going as a family to church, reading books, grilling out in the summer, Christmas time(I wish it could be Christmas 365 days a year), Elvis, Elvis, and Elvis (mostly me) and just being at home with my children and sharing some laughs and adventures. Even though I feel as if I am hanging on to my last shred of sanity, I hope there are times I can give you a good story to smile about.

That's a smart boy! We did that with morgan for a while until he got tired of it. We made a chart and each day before he went to bed he had to pick up all his toys. If he picked them all up he got a stamp and at the end of the week if the whole week was stamped he got his coin. now at the time he didn't know the difference between a penny and a quarter so it was pretty cheap! I'm probably going to start it again once he starts kindergaden
