I am a 30 something stay at home mom, by title only. I am always taking somebody somewhere! Between soccer, scouts, football, piano, activity days, a primary calling, the never ending laundry, homework, visiting teaching, family home evenings, institute class, and an occasional lunch out with my husband my life is crazy. My goal is to raise happy, healthy kids, who have strong testimonies of our Savior Jesus Christ. If I get a hot meal on the table at dinner time a few nights a week I consider it a miracle!
**Mom, do you think old people are just cute as a button?
**These snow pants make my panties shrink
**My pinky toe smells weird. In fact, my whole foot smells weird!
**Mom, when I turn 18, will I be an old cripple?
**She was wrestling with Colton and I heard her yell "bring it on, butterball"
**At lunch in Leavenworth, we were talking about the small portions. A few minutes later Kennedy says, "this is a small lunch, indeed!"
**We were at the grocery store and she was riding in the cart. Whitley was trying to get in with her and she was freaking out. Landon asked her why Whit couldn't get in with her and she said "because I have space issues!"
**I told Kennedy to roll up her sleeves so that she didn't get them in her food. She said, "No because then I'll look like an Irish leprechaun"
**"Dad, you don't respect my cultures!" "What does that mean?" "It means you don't respect me as your boss!"
**Kennedy just told me that if she had medium brown skin and a black mole on her upper lip, she'd be the most beautiful girl in the world!
**She was trying to tickle my feet, and I kept moving them and she said "just take it like a man-I want to year you laugh"
**We were driving home from gymnastics, and talking about Whitley's upcomgin meet, and out of nowhere Kennedy yells from the back seat "Hey mom, can babies crush bananas?"
**She was helping Colton pull his boots off, and they wouldn't come off. She was leaning back and pulling as hard as she could and she yelled "I'll never give up on you, buddy"
**At breakfast this morning, after taking a big swig of milk, Kennedy declared "milk is my passion"
**She came to me in the middle of the night, sort of whimpering, and said "mom, I'm almost crying".
**Today she called Whitley a desperate peanut thrower!
Does anyone else's child do this?? This is Kennedy's closet. I find it like this all the time. I don't know if this is her trying to get a shirt, and she pulls on all of them until one finally falls off the hanger, or what? Miss independent
Both of my older boys' closets are like this. I once gave a family night lesson entitled "Why I am Thankful for Hangers." Just barely hanging in there has tons of gospel parallels!
Addie is the worst at this. Sometimes i just have to walk away or i will cry, and sometimes i pull a "mommy dearest" and freak out. It really depends on the day. But oh yes, we certainly have that problem here!
Ohhh yeah, looks just like Porter's only I didn't see any broken ones hanging by a thread in her closet. Porter's motto must be, if I can't get the shirt to slide off, I'll just break the hanger!

Kenny's closet looks like this too. He's confessed that is is because he couldn't get the shirts off.

GREAT idea Alisa-thanks
