Mommy's Wallet

Yesterday, after picking Abby up from school and we headed to the grocery store. Once we parked, I realized my wallet was missing from my purse. We came straight home and spent over an hour looking for it -- no luck.

Fast forward to this morning.....

We drop Samuel off at school and are on our way home. I ask Abby once again if she has any idea where my wallet is. Here's our conversation....

Me: Abby are you sure you don't know where mommy's wallet is?

Abby: No mommy, I don't. (a few seconds pass) Actually, I do know where it is! It's shoved under the TV in the playroom, Samuel did it!

Me: Are you sure Samuel did it?

Abby: Yes, I saw him, he did it, really he did!

When we got home she walked in and went straight into the playroom and pulled it out. Needless to say, we have been talking a lot this week about honesty and how important it is to tell the truth.

Samuel came home from school with a very loose tooth and wiggled and wiggled until he finally got it out! He was VERY excited!:) This was his 7th tooth lost.

1st COCKARIDDLE Talent Show

We had our first ever Cockariddle talent show. Jackson did a fantastic job on the mic introducing each act and Aunt Ansleigh announced the scores. I am happy to announce that every act received a perfect 10!
First up-- Lawton, William & Samuel. They told "Yo Mama" jokes...... Here are just a few!

-Yo mama is so fat that her bellybutton gets home 15 minutes before she does.
-Yo mama is so fat that people jog around her for exercise.
-Yo mama is so fat that she had to go to Sea World to get baptized.
Abigail & Olivia cheered.
A-W-E-S-O-M-E, awesome, awesome, awesome are we! Then Wells, Olivia and Jake performed a skit....Jake experienced stage fright and decided to crawl under the couch when it was his turn to speak! Samuel took over Jake's role. Jackson and Abigail performed the Hokey Pokey together.The show ended with all the kids singing Jingle Bells. Wells (15), Lawton (12), Olivia (9), William (9), Jackson (9), Samuel (7) & Abigail (4). What a fun night full of laughter, smiles and family time. Memories we will always cherish!

Can you say TROUBLE?

When these two rugrats are together and not under adult supervision, their usually up to something like this! :) They were so proud when they walked upstairs to show us.
You stinkers owe me a tube of lipstick!
