The Esteemed Mr. and Mrs. Cox

Trey greatly overstates my importance to this conversation by even mentioning that I took part in it. It was basically Ansley and Trey talking 90mph about art and me just nodding my head and trying to look sophisticated. I think I added the occasional “Oh Yeah!” and “I need to go get another beer” to the dialog!

It was, however, fantastic to meet him in person at the ATL_OS Christmas Party last Sunday. Thankfully, the Cox household seemed to escape without catching the cold bug that was going around that night. Rumor has it that the offending culprit has been identified.

Good Things

I haven’t done this in a while….

  1. Going to the Best Party of the Year and not driving over ice
  2. Secret Kisses. Charlie and I have the regular Eskimo kisses and Butterfly kisses, but we just came up with Secret Kisses (Just Between Charlie and Me) that include Forehead Kisses, Chin Kisses, Ear Kisses and Cheek Kisses – all Eskimo style. John can’t join in because of beard technicalities.
  3. Stinky the Dump Trunk. My Dad and I were dying laughing in Wal-mart because they kept announcing the toy over the loudspeaker. “Your kids will have fun for hours with Stinky!”
  4. Racing/pushing/fighting John to the mailbox. He’s looking for Bowl Pool entries and I’m looking for Christmas cards. You’d think he was trying to break my neck or something! (The neck jokes are never going to get old.)

Baby Got Back

I have about a million things I want to write about, but I’ve GOT to get in bed so I’ll share a funny conversation I had with Charlie in the car.

We were sitting at a big intersection and I almost saw a huge wreck, so I exclaimed, “Oh. My. God. Becky.”

CHARLIE: I’m not Becky, I’m Charlie.
ANSLEY: I know that, darlin.’ I just said that because those are the first words to a song.
CHARLIE: Will you sing it to me? (OMG.)
ANSLEY: Well, actually, I don’t remember any other words to the song.
ANSLEY: (Applying distraction technique) Do you remember your cousin Becky that we saw at Thanksgiving? She’s Maggie’s and Tavin’s mommy, the kids that you had fun playing with. Oh, and she was the awesome drummer who gave us the fun drumming lesson.
CHARLIE: Oh, yeah! They were at Nanny and Pop’s house.
ANSLEY: Exactly!
CHARLIE: I think I know the words to the song, Mommy! They go: Jooooooohhn and Becky! Joooooooohhn and Becky! Becky and Maggie! Becky and Maggie! (Etc. etc. all the way home.) I even joined in after a few miles of hearing it.

Visit with Santa 2010

Once Charlie realized that Santa was a cool guy, he wanted to talk for a long time. It was precious.

You can tell in the picture that he is still a little apprehensive.

I HIGHLY recommend the Phipps Plaza Santa. Everyone that goes to him is right – he is beautiful and wonderful and magical.

New Leather Sofa

We have new living room furniture! Woohoo! Charlie has discovered something that our new sofa does that our old (fabric) sofa didn’t…

This is probably negative reinforcement, but Katie and I couldn’t help but laugh…(and get it on video)

Quotes of the Day

….Said (by Charlie) in the span of a few minutes while jumping on the bed:

“I’m gonna have a little baby sister. And she’s gonna have a little baby daddy.”

“I’m just a little boy.”

“I’m just a growin’ up boy.”

“I’m ready to rock.”

NOTE: We are NOT NOT NOT NOT expecting. We do not discuss this with Charlie. He wants a little baby sister because his friend, Tommy, has a little baby sister. And Finley is so precious, how can he not want a little sister???

Tonight’s Secret Ingredient

John and Katie raved over the homemade lasagna I made last week – seriously – they ate it for breakfast, lunch and supper until it was gone. Naturally, as soon as we got started on this week’s grocery list, lasagna was the first request. But this time it might taste a little different, thanks to Charlie’s special touch. As I’m layering the ricotta cheese, Charlie picks up a newly-opened juice box, pulls out the straw and pours about 3 tablespoons of fruit punch into the pasta sauce. Who knows, I might have an award-winning recipe on my hands! **UPDATE: Lasagna with a hint of Juicy Juice is really weird.

Charlie made up for it by preparing the bread:

From the Revolution to the Age of the Internet

I PROMISE that we’ll get back to blogging posts soon, but until then, I have to share this educational rap! Incorporating music into each and every subject helps me learn better than any other tool.

Goats Are Funny

This site is even funnier than the North Georgia attraction, Goats on the Roof, (yes, we’ve been there and it was awesome!), but not quite as funny as Fainting Goats.
