Kristal said...: Aw, I've been slacking off for the last 3 weeks...not on coupon sense, but on grocery shopping. I only buy produce (and we can't price match here, so no deals). This is an inspiring post though...maybe I'll go to Flag this week. Oh and hey, thanks for calling us while we were down there this last weekend to hang out.; March 2, 2009 at 7:19 AM

Zoe"s To-Do List

6-10-09- Since Mom said "no" to eating all the yummy snacks in the pantry, I think I will just go in there when she is not looking, and open them all up, take one bite of each, and leave a big huge mess. Then I will blame it all on Austin.

7-30-08- Mom has company over. There is a pencil right next to the computer. I think I will draw mommy a picture on the computer screen so that when she turns it on it will show!!

5-20-08- I just found a full bottle of baby powder. How fun would it be to chase Beau and Austin around the house with it, shaking all of it all over EVERYTHING? There is only one way to find out...

3-2?-08- "Hmm, that car over there looks just like the car from Back To The Future. It must be a very expensive and RARE car. I'm going to go put sharp rocks all over it."

2-13-08- While at my friend Addison's house, I will wait patiently for mom and Shannon to get into a deep discussion, then I will sneak into the kitchen. There I will turn the water spickett upside down, so that when Shannon goes to use it when I am gone, it will spray all over the place!!!!

1-3-08- Because I want milk and I think that I am so grown up, I will pour my own cup of milk with this full gallon on Moms rug. Don't worry about the more than 3/4 of what I poured ending up all over the floor, Mom can just clean that up. And she will have to go the store to get more milk.

11-26-07- Take the butter tub out of the fridge, get a butter knife out of the drawer, take said items under the end table where no one can see me that well, and eat butter straight out of the tub using the butter knife.

10-25-07- I think that it would be fun to WASH the floor with my milk today. Yes, let me just pencil that one in.

10-14-07- I saw Mom put some Goobers, you know the chocolate covered peanuts (duh), in on the desk last night. While Dad is watching me this morning, I will take the Goobers, and then hide in the closet with the door shut and eat them 'till he finds me!

9/28/07- I think, just for kicks of course, that today I will SNACK on Momma's face wash. Then I will just sit back and laugh at her reaction.

Austins Dreams as told by the Great Austin Himself

March 8, 2008- " Mom, I don't like bedtime, because sometimes I have bad dreams. Like of princesses. I don't like dreaming about princesses because that is too girly."

December 13, 2007

"Last night in my dream, Santa brought JJ all her teeth for Christmas."

October 22, 2007

"Mom! Last night I dreamed that I had a Baby Brown Dog!"

October 7, 2007

(As told by Amy this time)
Austin decided that he would be brave and go on Space Mountain at Disneyland, even though he did NOT like it last time. Well, you know how when you are on the ride, right before you go into the dark abyss that is the essence of the ride, they take you through a red spiraling tunnel? Well, Travis said that Austin said...
"Dad, this is like a bad dream!!!"
Apparently he kept saying throughout the ride too.

September 30, 2007

Dad: "Austin, what did you dream about last night?"
Austin: "I dreamed that I was with Kamryn and Jaden, and we played!"
