**Let me start this post tonight by telling everyone to please pray for our friend Elijah and his parents. Eli is in the hospital and they may have to perform his heart surgery earlier than expected. AND Emma is still due for her surgery on 4/11.**

Ok...we started our day off with a t-ball game at 10am. There's nothing like eating nachos and coke on a Saturday morning (where the weather was already in the mid 70s), watching your son play t-ball, while your heart baby sleeps in the stroller beside you, your teen-age son is sulking in the chair on the other side of you, and your husband is helping your 5 year old put his helmet on! What a great morning!
Until...I took out the camera to get some pics...and I FORGOT that I charged the battery last night and FORGOT to put it back in the camera. (I'll get pics at the next game!). Then, we just came home, ate lunch, and did a little house work before heading to Christopher's basketball game that starts at 5pm. We get to that game...Chris is looking quite handsome in his uniform...and I take out the camera...and FORGOT again to put that stinking battery in!!! (I've lost my mind!) Chris' team won the game...and we went home!
It was FORCED FAMILY NIGHT...where we rented movies from Blockbuster and brought in Chinese food. The boys wanted to watch Blades of Glory (on the editing machine)...oh...what a fun movie (can you feel the sarcasm in my words??)
Thank goodness we have the editing machine (we make them watch ALL PG-13 movies on that thing)...and for your funny story:
The boys rented Norbit last week. It's PG-13...so, they watch it on the editing machine. (I haven't seen it yet). Eli and I were in the car the other day and he said,
"Mom...I know what kind of job dad needs. He doesn't even have to do anything...and people just give him free things."
I said, "wow Eli...what kind of job is that!"
He said, "Oh...he needs to be a pimp!"
"A WHAT??!!"
"You know...a pimp. They don't do anything, they get free tickets to go places...and they get to wear COOL clothes!"
"Eli...where did you hear the word pimp?"
He said, 'From the movie Norbit"....
"Well...do you know what a pimp does??"
"Sure...he doesn't do anything! That's great!"

So....we just ended that talk there. Then, I had a talk with Chris and told him that even though the editing machine takes out all violent and sex scenes and all bad words....we still have to make sure that what the movie is talking about is something that Eli should be watching.
I suppose that I'm a bad mom for not watching it first....but...that conversation sure was one that I'll remember for a long time!!!!

I hope everyone has a good Sunday.
