Just One of Those Days: Trash Day

Trash Day

Living where we do with an alley behind the house, every Monday morning we can hear the trash truck coming. It's so loud, we have enough time to hear it, get the trash cans moved out from behind the gate, and then watch the truck approach. Audrey and Corbin have usually just left for school, so me and the little boys run out for the excitement. It has become routine to start out the week.

Look! It's coming!

Good morning Mr. Trash Man. (Drew talks to ANYONE and EVERYONE so he has made friends with the Trash man.

The kids like to think they are helping. And I like them to think they are helping. But really, we all know, it just takes more time.

No matter if the bucket is full, he always uses the hydraulics to dump it at our house.

The trash man is so nice to the kids. Sometime he dumps the bucket twice because they like it so much.

From the Mouth of My Babes

BEEPING HEART - Drew runs inside after getting all worked up and asks, "Mom, can you hear my heart beeping?" (Jan 2012)
WORK LESS PLAY MORE - Summer has arrived and I am loving the mornings! For the past two days, the kids have slept past 7:30. Granted, they go to sleep later, but having a few quiet moments in the morning is bliss. This morning Audrey asked me what time Dad left. I replied, "6:45 AM." Corbin asked, "Is that so he could get less work done?" Hmmmm. Very perceptive. He left that early to get in a round of golf BEFORE he showed up to work LATE! (June 10)
INDEPENDENCE - Drew is a typical 2-3 year old...and I'm sure my other kids said the very same things. But for memory sake, his independence is at an all-time frustrating level. "Mom, you help me?" So of course I go to help him and he shouts, "NO, I do it myself!" Or my favorite, "Mom, you help me do it by myself?" (April 2010)
CAPTIVITY? - We were reading scriptures tonight from the Book of Mormon, the chapter was one that was mostly about who "begat" who all while in captivity. As we finished, Audrey commented, "Captivity must be a popular place, everyone wanted to go there." Haha. Got to give her credit for trying to listen. That's more than I can say on most nights! (April 2010)
NOT CUTE! - As I was buckling both boys into the car in their not-planned matching outfits, I said, "Ahhhh, look at my cute boys." Drew told me, "Mom, I'm not cute. I'm me. Drew!" (April 2010)
