Probably a picture only a mom can love, but oh how I love those little toes and Tow Mater bum…
Things I never thought I’d say…
Me: “Is that a head under the oven?”, Them: “No. It’s a person.”
Me: “No, Indiana Jones does not want to go for a ride in your underwear.”
Me: “If I step on one more body part I’m taking off everyone’s hands and you’re not getting them back.”
Me: “Why is Dr. Raley in my coffee?”, Them: “He wanted to taste and see if he liked it.”
Me: “Do not put Dr. Raley in your mouth. Spit him out now.”
All in reference to the 100s of legos hiding out in my house. I recently purchased some reeds for $1.00 at Target, the boys thought I bought them for their Lego men. By the way, Dr. Raley is the kids’ pediatrician…they named the Sean Connery lego man ‘Dr.Raley’. Funny.

Biggest Brother: “What is THAT?”
Me: “It is my lego girl. She is drinking coffee and chasing the bad guys on her jet ski.”
Biggest Brother: “She can’t drive and drink coffee.”
Me: “Yes she can. She is a woman and women can multitask.”
Biggest Brother: “Multi what?”
Me: “Multitask.”
Biggest Brother: “Can men do that”
Me: “No. Just women.”

So the clues are related to my sycamore tree, the image with the 8 on it, our ‘shoe’ picture, and rebuilding something…remember I did say it isn’t a big deal – you guys have some BIG project guesses…think smaller and something you will enjoy too. Check back next week…enjoy the long weekend!

Shannon Phillips - You crack me up. I love the multitasking lego lady!
Melissa Davis - Are you going to have a new kitchen table made from sycamore that can seat 8 people? Is this table going to be outdoors under hte sycamore tree?
Kari - Okay, this guessing game is not easy. How about a tire swing? That’s as small as I can think…but you mentioned something we will enjoy too- how bout an Ashley Ann Photography University in your backyard!? That’s most definately something for us to enjoy too! I’d make the 3 hr. commute!
Have a good weekend!
Sarah - Gazebo? Treehouse?
sheridan - Oh my goodness don’t you love life w/ boys! I wondered what our neighbors think about my non clothed children all summer long as well. We aren’t into lego men but army men or cars here. I’m so glad you wrote down all the conversations between you and the boys…one day we will forget. One last guess you are going to give us a diy of a new table for your family outside?
Jo - I have to make this comment because it’s cute!
what a great memory!
I can tell that you have kiddos because your lego girl drinking coffee has bite marks on her head and arms
AshleyAnn - Jo – I love that you noticed the bite marks!
Allison - Dr. Raley is a great pediatrician! I hope he has seen this post….he would LOVE it!!!
Shanalea - I think my boys would hang out in underwear all day if I let them. They do for a good majority of the day anyway. Our littlest brother stays in his diaper much of the day. The joys of raising men.
Amber Lee - So funny! I love that little lego people make unexpected appearances everywhere, including IN your coffee.
Sophie - Are you building a storage system from the sucamore tree that can hold 8 pairs of shoes?
LoRae - I nearly spit MY coffee out with your lego girl conversation, funny and true. Your posts this past summer have made me miss the heat of OK. Crazy, I know.
christina larsen - I give up. I have no idea. But I am sure it will be fabulous.
Liz - that is funny!! We use Dr. Raley too. Love him!! My kids love him. My youngest says that when she grows up she is going to be a Doctor and work for Dr. Raley but she will not give kids shots!!LOL!
amanda torres - I am so proud of you teaching your boys correctly. Women are the only people who can multitask efficiently! Good for you! Pretty funny post. Love the Mater undies. And, I’m still totally lost on what you’re doing. I don’t know how you can keep this so quiet all week long. I spill the beans on my surprises all the time!
Stephanie May* - Okay, I have two guesses. Don’t kill me, but you are having another baby?! You know, family tree, 8 months from now, more family shoes, rebuilding something…: )
My next guess is that you are re-doing your website with tree and shoe images and it will be ready in 8 days…or weeks. Wow, I’m really reaching on both of these – can’t wait to find out what it is!
Beatrice Killam - Love the toes and bum, too! As a mama, I do love it so!!!
As to a guess, are you renewing your vows under your sycamore tree, wearing the shoes in the picture?
Melissa Davis - I like Beatrice’s guess the best!
Carrie - tire swing?
Sarah - Rebuilding a fireplace/mantle??
Jesse - Hilarious! I love a character bum too! I’ll be sad when those bum’s grow up!
Stephanie - It must be a shoe tree project?
pamela - oh, oh, i think i know what the project is… you’re giving away something… a picture of the sycamore maybe? and you’re giving away 8 of them? : )
tanya - this sooo made me laugh bc i can so relate. mom moments (“mom”ents–love ‘em.
lamadredenico - I laughed so laud with your lego girl conversation. really funny, and so true. great!
