The wood is split and stacked.
Flannel sheets on the bed.
Wool coats and sherpa-lined hoodies.
And coffee. Lots of coffee.
Packing on that extra 15 pounds. You know, in case we starve out here.
Horses growing out their snow-repelling shag.
(kindly pretend you don’t see that extra 15 pounds… or the gray strands)
But how you know you’ve really prepared for the winter?
When your darling son looks quizzically at you and carries on the entire following conversation with himself:
Mommy, what are those bumps on your face?
(with genuine concern)
Oh wait… they’re hairs.
(nods wisely)
(taking my face in his sweet little hands)
Momma??
They keep your head warm.
(Mommy madly stifling giggles)
Momma??
(innocently and earnestly)
You can shave those…
Lord I apologize.
I laughed until I cried.
And then I went out and told Mr. Daddy.
And laughed until I cried again.
Apparently the horses aren’t the only ones getting the winter woolies.

oh my goodness, I would have laughed and then given him until the count of three to start running ;)
Kona's got some catching up to do - Estes is one giant furball.
Love that Itty Bit.
haha dang the truth hurts! 15 lbs...where? I cannot see it!
I don't see any extra weight.. they are not gray hairs they are stress highlights and we earn every one of them. Bwhahaha at a child's honesty, I would hate for him to talk to me on a rough day..cold wax and some cloth strips take care of it for me though. I got the curse of facial hair from the women in my family.
the honesty of children....gotta love it!!!
Welcome to the club! My mom used to take out her tweezers at stop lights and pull out her chin hairs saying it was the best light. (Her mom and grandmom did similar things.)As a teen, I'd die of embarrassment. Of course, my kids followed the same path as I learned that it actually was the best light! Now, they borrow my tweezers! I've even graduated to a full-blown razor in my car! That's one family tradition I'd rather have not had passed down! I wish I only had an extra 15...but that's another story!
You have a better sense of humor about it than I think I would!!!! It IS funny, though! :D
Oh my gosh, i must be so ready for winter lol. How funny that kid of yours is. I do hope that is an older pic with snow in it. If not I am jealous for real haha.
OMG TOOO FUNNY
and you are beautiful as always
Yesterday R told us that DH was old and I was young LOL
He is just too much!! He totally cracks me up.
Oh. no. he. didn't. LOL!!! That kid!!! :)
Also? The gal above that made the comment about stress highlights? LOVE it! I'm so using that! HAHA!
P.S. I had no idea horses did that... learn something new everyday!
So now that you've dyed your hair, can we call you blackbeard?
Well, at least we ARE sisters. I just went to the store yesterday for one item & ONE item only-tweezers. Need I say more?
Out of the mouths of babes, right?? LOL! Well, at least you will be warmer this winter. ;) I am already in my nice warm clothes and am preparing for another cold, snowy, wayyyyyy toooooo long winter. It hasn't snow yet, though. *crossing fingers and toes* There are dire predictions on snowfall levels this winter, though.
Like Brandi, I had no idea horses grew winter hair either!
Itty Bit...what a stinker. He just cracks me up with every post you write.
Oh, and I found a gray baby hair growing at my hairline on my forehead this week. It sticks straight out, I can't flatten it. Nice.
someone give this kid a sitcom!
okay, so that is more laughable then my girls, upon seeing a commercial for some antiaging cream, saying, ( in tandem, no less) "You should buy that Mamma!"
This made me smile - your little guy sounds so adorable :)
Itty Bit is too funny :).
btw, you look great, I don't see any greys or 15 lbs. Warms my heart to see the picture of you and Itty Bit laughing together, so sweet!
OH my gosh! *palm to forehead*
Not looking forward to that with my child!!
Hee hee. He is hilarious. My kids must be being nice to me cuz they haven't mentioned anything about my beard. I use vaniqa on the mustache! ;)
That is too funny! He is the cutest little guy!
