Another week has yet come to an end, and a nice weekend is upon us. Now that school is back in session for a few of our kids, I look forward to the weekend. I miss them during the week, putting them on the bus always makes me a bit sad. I love having them around.
So the weekend is a great time for us. We spend a lot of time together as a family, and I always feel better by weekends end.
This weekend is our tax free weekend, so I think we will be doing some shopping together. And what do you know? At least two of our children hate the mall. Of course, I’m not terribly fond of the mall either. In fact, I prefer to avoid it at all costs, but when there is a weekend such as this one, where some of the things we need are tax free, well I just cannot pass it up.
So tonight we will load seven of us into the van and head out to our outlet mall to get some shoes and other stuff that we waited to get until this weekend.
What are you planning to do this weekend? I hope it’s a great one and I hope you take some time to spend it with your kids. We try to make everything an adventure. Even the boring stuff becomes more fun.
Here are a few adorable parenting jokes to get you through the weekend. In fact, I don’t think there are any jokes I like better than ones that deal with the funny things that kids say or do.
Have a great weekend!
A certain little girl, when asked her name, would reply, “I’m Mr. Sugarbrown’s daughter.”
Her mother told her this was wrong, she must say, “I’m Jane Sugarbrown.”
The Vicar spoke to her in Sunday School, and said, “Aren’t you Mr. Sugarbrown’s daughter?”
She replied, “I thought I was, but mother says I’m not.”
Things Mom Would Never Say
“How on earth can you see the TV sitting so far back?”
“Yeah, I used to skip school a lot, too”
“Just leave all the lights on … it makes the house look more cheery”
“Let me smell that shirt — Yeah, it’s good for another week”
“Go ahead and keep that stray dog, honey. I’ll be glad to feed and walk him every day”
“Well, if Timmy’s mom says it’s OK, that’s good enough for me.”
“The curfew is just a general time to shoot for. It’s not like I’m running a prison around here.”
“I don’t have a tissue with me … just use your sleeve”
“Don’t bother wearing a jacket – the wind-chill is bound to improve”

My Mother taught me TO MEET A CHALLENGE…”What were you thinking? Answer me when I talk to you…Don’t talk back to me!”
My Mother taught me HUMOR…”When that lawn mower cuts off your toes, don’t come running to me.”
My Mother taught me how to BECOME AN ADULT…”If you don’t eat your vegetables, you’ll never grow up.
My mother taught me about GENETICS…”You are just like your father!”
My mother taught me about my ROOTS…”Do you think you were born in a barn?”
My mother taught me about the WISDOM of AGE…”When you get to be my age, you will understand.”
My mother taught me about ANTICIPATION…”Just wait until your father gets home.”
My mother taught me about RECEIVING…You are going to get it when we get home.
and my all time favorite thing – JUSTICE…”One day you will have kids, and I hope they turn out just like YOU..then you’ll see what it’s like.”
