Jordan likes to say the f word. She will look at us and say 'I just said the f-word in my head and you can't stop me.' Will look at us with a blank stare and say, 'did it again'.
Jakob...my lovely son says to his sister Jordan, at the zoo, "Jordan look a peacock. I say Pea..you say...". Yep she said it.

So we took the kids to play golf this afternoon. Jakob is wearing a 'wife beater' and a shirt over it. He wanted to wear just the tank and I said no. He asked why I called it a wife beater. I explained. Later tonight he said, "Well..im going to wear my 'wife basher' to bed."
So Jordan is covering 2nd. The ball comes to her and it looked like it bounced up and hit her. She seems okay. They come off the field and she runs to us crying. We assume she is hurt. Tears rolling down her face she says, "The umpire wants me to take my earrings out".
Mom: Did you shower?

I look in her bedroom and she is panicking as she is trying to open up her locked journal with money in it, which will not open. I say, "Jordan take your time and say your password slowly". She looks at me and speaks into the journal very clearly saying, "HAM".

Jakob tries to say dirty words without saying the word ie) he won't say d**k, but will say meatstick. (i know lovely)
Jordan likes to say the f word. She will look at us and say 'I just said the f-word in my head and you can't stop me.' Will look at us with a blank stare and say, 'did it again'.
Jakob...my lovely son says to his sister Jordan, at the zoo, "Jordan look a peacock. I say Pea..you say...". Yep she said it.
So the song 'Shook Me All Night Long' came on and we were quizzing Jordan on who sings it. She gave it a good shot with: A T & T
So Shane being Mr. Mom this summer is tired of being called Daddy. He has convinced J and J to call him 'Carl'.
So we took the kids to play golf this afternoon. Jakob is wearing a 'wife beater' and a shirt over it. He wanted to wear just the tank and I said no. He asked why I called it a wife beater. I explained. Later tonight he said, "Well..im going to wear my 'wife basher' to bed."
So Jordan is covering 2nd. The ball comes to her and it looked like it bounced up and hit her. She seems okay. They come off the field and she runs to us crying. We assume she is hurt. Tears rolling down her face she says, "The umpire wants me to take my earrings out".
Mom: Did you shower?
Jakob: NO
Mom: There is sand in your bed and dirty clothes on the floor. Who is going to clean up after you when you are older.
Jakob: My wife.
Dad: Why would your wife want to come home after working and clean up after you.
Jakob: Dad..I will pay her..duh.
Jakob: What is a blowdry?
Mommy: Where did you hear that?
Jakob: School
Mommy: Wait for your father to get home.
Jordan runs in the house to get money because the ice cream truck is coming up the street. I look in her bedroom and she is panicking as she is trying to open up her locked journal with money in it, which will not open. I say, "Jordan take your time and say your password slowly". She looks at me and speaks into the journal very clearly saying, "HAM".
