He's White like Daddy!

I give you one guess as to who said it and if you guessed right give yourself a pat on the back. Yes, it was Payton, Phoenix does not speak that well and Marquis well he's Marquis.

I arrive home with babe in tow and Payton of course is very excited, she asks if she can hold the baby and I of course say yes. She is such a great big sister. She washes her hands and sits down next to me. She is looking at the baby and his many fingers when out of no where she says, "He is White Like Daddy", and "I said yes he is does that bother you", she said "no, but will he get black like us". I laughed and said he would probably darken a little. I also told her she used to look like that. She said that was cool that she "used" to be white too.

That was one of the many funny things that happen here is another.

All of my children have been born around some major sporting event, Payton, the world series, Phoenix, the final four, and Mason, MNF, (Monday Night Football), for all of you who don't watch the game. Not only was it the season opener, the GBP (Green Bay Packers) were playing.

My dear husband had the audacity to say to me, to be sure I am done and in my room before 8 so he can hurry home and watch the game. YES, he said this out loud. Only after coming to me a few days ago and telling me he had a conflict with the date I had chosen. He actual said the Packers are playing and if possible could I moved the day to Tuesday. I walked away, I'm sorry, correction, I wobbled away shaking my head because he was serious.

Needless to say I was in my room on time, and Mike could have been home on time to be watching the game in front of his new television but he was not. His choice not mine; was it a wise choice, of course it was.

I am so proud of Payton for being such a great big sister! And tell Mike I'm proud of him for being such a good husband/father...I was pretty sure if he was with you he was inflicting the game on you.
