Happy New Year everyone! I can't believe it's 2012. Time sure is flying by.
I have several Drewisms to share with you...enjoy!
Me: You like teasing me, Drew.
Drew: Yep, that's my job!
Drew: Momma, get ready to see something AWESOME!
(Why does that scare me?)
Drew: Momma, you know what, if I were president, my name could be JellyButter.
(Ok, sounds good to me.)
Drew: Momma, I'm going to play my guitar. Prepare to ROCK OUT!
(Oh boy, that means he's going to play LOUD!)
Drew: You know what I love doing, momma?
Me: No, what do you love doing?
Drew: I love kissing my biceps! I'm the bicep man! Look at me!!!
Drew: Momma, what's 6 +3?
Me: Drew, you know the answer to that!
Drew: Yeah, but I don't feel like doing math right now, so I want you to tell me what it is.
(Oh boy!)
Drew: Momma, guess what, I'm a superhero!
Me: You are? What superhero are you?
Drew: I'm Drew-Man!
Me: Wow, that sounds great!
Drew: And guess what, you're going to be my sidekick. I'm sorry to say that you're not going to be an awesome sidekick, you're just going to be a mommy sidekick.
Me: Why isn't a mommy sidekick an awesome sidekick?
Drew: Well, you just do mommy stuff....fix dinner, help me with homework, get on to me for not doing something...you know, mom stuff.
(This still cracks me up! I personally think Momma sidekicks are AWESOME!)
Drew: Momma, you need to learn to listen to me. I'm always right.
Me: Drew, we need to work on your homework project.
Drew: Ok, can you explain it to me again?
Me: Sure. You need to write a paragraph explaining a holiday tradition that we have. Do you know what you want to write about?
Drew: Yes, going to my cousins.
Me: Ok, so let's start working.
He writes a sentence.
Drew: Ok, I'm done.
Me: No you're not. You have to write a paragraph. So, you need to write a few more sentences.
Drew: No, I don't think that's what I'm supposed to do. I think I just need to write a sentence.
Me: Drew, I'm reading the instructions right here.
Drew: Are you sure you're reading them correctly, Momma?? I know you get mixed up sometimes.
At this point, I'm thinking that Drew is going to be either a politician or an attorney when he grows up. I'm also thinking that there probably isn't going to be enough alcohol or tranquilizers to survive his teenage years. I mean, he's only 7 right now! :-)
We were working on his spelling words last night and one of his words was "woke."
Me: Woke
Drew: Uhm?? What does that mean?
Me: Here it is in a sentence, "The alarm woke me up."
Drew: That's not a real word, at least in my world it isn't.
Drew was walking by one of our Christmas decorations and noticed that the Santa had fallen...
Drew: Santa is down. I repeat, Santa is DOWN!
We made cookies before Christmas and I have a set of nativity cookie cutters that we used. One of cutters is of a baby Jesus.
Drew: Momma, can I have a cookie?
Me: Sure, which one do you want?
Drew: I would like a cow and a baby Jesus.
Me: Ok, here you go.
Drew: MMMMmmm, baby Jesus sure does taste good.
(There is just something wrong with that statement.) :-)

Yep, it's time for Drew-isms!
So, I realized the other day that it's been WAY too long since I entertained you with Drew-isms, so consider this an early Christmas present! :-)
(Drew spent Thanksgiving with his dad and I was at Karen's house. I called Drew to wish him a Happy Thanksgiving.)
Me: Happy Thanksgiving, Drew!
Drew: Thanks, Momma. Whatcha doing??
Me: I'm helping Auntie Karen cook!
Drew: Are you cooking the turkey?
Me: Yep, it's in the over.
Drew: Don't burn it, momma.
Me: WHAT? When have I ever burned the turkey?
Drew: HAHAHAHA!!!! I'm so funny!
(Yeah, I have a hysterical kid....rolling my eyes!)
(The following conversation took place while we were in the car, headed to the store.)
Drew: Momma, you can GO!
Me: Drew, I can't go. There are cars coming.
Drew: But, Momma, it's GREEN and that means GO!
Me: Drew, I'm turning and even though it's green, that doesn't mean I can go. I have to wait until either there are no cars coming or there is a green arrow. I don't want to turn and get hit by another car!
Drew: OHHH, that makes sense. Good thinking, Momma. I guess I'll let you keep driving, then.
Me: Uh, excuse me?? You'll LET me keep driving??
Drew: HAHHAHA...that's so funny!
(That sound you hear is me banging my head against the steering wheel.)
Drew: Momma, you want to know what my wish is?
Me: Sure, what is your wish?
Drew: I want to meet Santa Clause.
Me: Uhm, ok.
Drew: Now Momma, I'm talking about the real Santa Clause. Cause, you know the ones you see at the stores and you can take pictures with, those aren't the real santa's. Those are just big guys with fake beards.
Me: Honey, the real Santa lives up in the North Pole and I don't think you'll be able to meet him.
Drew: I'll meet him. I can set a trap for when he comes and I'll catch him! I'll fix a special trap at Uncle Monty's & Aunt Judy's house and when Santa drops off the presents, the trap will spring up and catch him!
(I think I need to be worried that he's planning on setting a trap and capturing Santa! AND, he's been thinking about this one for a while!)
Drew: Momma, I love it when Papa visits.
Me: I do too!
Drew: You want to know why?
Me: Sure.
Drew: He makes yummy pancakes and cooks them. I like Papa's pancakes better than yours.
Me: Oh you do? Why is that?
Drew: Papa doesn't burn them!
(Just so you know, I only burned pancakes ONCE and that was 4 years ago and that crazy kid of mine still remembers that!)
Well, that's it for now!
Merry Christmas!!!!!!
Love & Hugs!

Running around, and around, and around
Howdy.
The Fall baseball season has ended. I'm both sad and relived about that. Sad, because Drew enjoyed baseball and I have to say, I enjoyed watching him play. Relived because baseball season makes for some hectic times! I had a week where Drew had scouts on Monday, baseball practice Tuesday & Thursday and then a game on Saturday. I always said I was going to be a parent that wouldn't over-schedule my child and there have been times when I felt like I did just that. Plus, that doesn't take into account getting homework done, studying for spelling tests and getting our reading minutes in.
However, we survived and Drew is looking forward to Spring baseball and so am I! It's great for him to have an outlet where he can run off all his energy.
He also hit his first home run! I was so excited for him and I was cheering him on big time! (Yes, I know, I'm one of the loudest moms there. What can I say, I get excited!)
I just love this picture of Drew! It is so him!!!!
Well, that's about it for now.
Hugs!

Baking, Baking and MORE Baking
I've been MIA for a while due to my dad's visit. We try to cram so much visiting in when he's here, that other parts of my life are put on hold.
Dad left yesterday morning and I was sad to see him go. I've loved having him here and not just because he spoils me, it's nice being able to visit and hang out with him, but I don't think my waist line has been really happy with me. You see, my dad has a certain philosophy that he loves, "if a little does a little good, then A LOT will do A LOT of good." One aspect he applies this specific philosophy to is cooking, more specifically, I mean baking.
During the two weeks that he was here, he made the following:
1) 18 pounds of fudge...yes, you read that right, 18 pounds!!! (chocolate, white chocolate and peanut butter)
2) little lemon cakes (about a bite size and he made over 100 of them)
3) little strawberry cakes (again, about a bite size and he made over 100 of them)
4) little chocolate cakes (...are you getting the pattern yet??)
5) Homemade pancakes
6) Homemade waffles
7) Homemade biscuits
8) Monkey Bread (which I LOVE)
9) Chocolate goo (it was good!)
I mentioned once that I would consider his visit a success if I didn't gain 100 pounds, well, the visit was a success, on many levels! :-)
My freezers are FULL!
The list above doesn't take into account all the other stuff that he got for me. I have enough paper towels to last until after Christmas (again, with his philosophy...). I don't think I'm going to need to buy meat anytime soon. I'm set on toilet tissue, chips for Drew's lunches, peanut butter (again, for Drew's lunches) and I could go on and on. I have so much stuff, that I can't get it in the panty, so it's lined up under the kitchen windows.
My dad cracks me up, and I wouldn't trade him for anything!
Hope you all are doing great!!

Drew-ism's & Baseball
Instead of a Soccer mom, I'm now a Baseball mom!
During Drew's first practice, he made a hysterical comment to me. That got me to thinking that it's been a while since I wrote a blog post on Drew-ism's. Well, here you go...
Me: Drew, you're doing really good!
Drew: I know I am!!
(As I said on Facebook, he doesn't lack confidence!)
During the last game, I MISTAKENLY thought I was helping by trying to give Drew advice. Two of the coaches told me to not coach anymore! :-) Then, Drew had to add his own opinion...
Drew: Momma, you need to keep your coaching to yourself.
(That stings!) LOL
Drew: Momma, why don't we have a goat?
Me: We don't have any room for a goat.
Drew: Sure we do, we can put it in the garage.
(He wants a zoo!)
Me: Drew, how is school going?
Drew: It's good.
Me: Is that all...what's happening, what are you learning?
Drew: School is fine. I ROCK, I know everything!
(Rolling my head!)
My dad is visiting again! Drew loves it because of several reasons...(in no particular order)
1) When Papa is here, Drew gets to ride the bus home.
2) Papa is an awesome truck that Drew loves!
3) Papa spoils us! He cooks and bakes and we have awesome food and desserts!!
(I'm afraid I'm going to gain all the weight back...oh well, just have to work out a LOT more!!)
4) Papa ROCKS!!!!!
Hugs!
