Soniconversation

Today my mom and niece Alex came over. Look how cute Alex is in her new purple glasses. And how cute Cason is in his 5 month old body.

We took them for a walk in the wagon, and Paige brought some of her ponies.

Cason fell asleep on the way.

Tonight we went to Sonic for shakes. Cason was sleeping, but Paige got to get out of her carseat and sit between us eating fries. On her way up to the front of the car she found a tiny piece of a bun from her Arby's sandwich the other night. She gave it to me, and I looked at it and tried to tell Jess it was a piece of petrified bun. But instead I said "petriFRIED". Jess and I thought that sounded promising. Jess thinks we could sell corn dogs at some sort of Halloween festival and have that on our sign.

Then a christian song I like came on the radio, which reminded me of the Women of Faith conference I went to with my mom like 5 years ago. Which then reminded me of the one that they had 2 years ago. My mom tried to pull her really clever trick, where she buys tickets BEFORE inviting you, and then tries to guilt you into going by telling you she can't get her money back. Instead of just inviting you. Ha. But this time I had a 2 week old baby, and I wasn't going to take her into a stadium full of thousands of people for like 8 hours each day. And I SURE wasn't leaving her for 8 hours each day. So I said I couldn't. So then a few days later we were at Starbucks, and my brother mentioned a "christian conference" he was going to with mom the next weekend. I said "Oh, Women of Faith? Cool, I'm glad she found someone to go." I didn't think it was weird, because although it is primarily for women, I'd seen a few husbands and sons the time I went. But he just stared at me for a few seconds, and then goes "WHAT'S it called?" I said "Women of Faith." And then I realized that my mom had left out the whole "women" part when she asked him to go. So then he got really mad at her and said he wasn't going. Then she got really mad at me for telling him, like I should know she was tricking him into going, and I should have known not to mention the NAME OF THE CONFERENCE. Jess and I kept talking about how funny it was when he first realized what she was doing. Haha.

Hahaha...your mom is a sneaky one. :) When you look at your kids every day, don't you just think "how could you POSSIBLY be this big already?"
