Take Note!

Scene: Mum is looking for her tape measure which had been on the table in her bedroom. When she can't find it, she heads down to the Family Room and asks the resident 'sticky fingers' - EB - if he can help her find it.

EB: "Follow me Mom". He then heads to the Living Room to the precise spot of the couch and reaches under the couch and pulls out the tape measure (why, of course, isn't that where I should have initially put it).

Mum: "EB, you need to stop taking peoples things."

EB: "Sorry, Mom. I had to."

As he heads back down the stairs, he turns and warns:

"Just so you know, I'm pretty hyper today."

Well, that explains it all!

Hardware

A couple of the boys/men in my life, have some new hardware.

In preparation for our most recent Hummer trip, the Cute Guy decided to invest in a jack that would actually life our vehicle, unlike the stock issue one that comes with the h2. When DHL showed up, I could hardly believe the size of this puppy. Steve informed me of the wonderful versatility of this jack and how, not only could it lift the vehicle easily to change a tire, but could be used to winch the hummer out of a tight spot. It could be clamped around a tree and ...... This is where I zoned out and smiled and nodded hopefully in the right places.



Steve - All Jacked Up! Yep, it's as tall as the wing mirror??!!!!

Dec also acquired his own hardware at the beginning of October, the day of his second flag football game - thank heavens for the invention of Motrin. He made some awesome plays though.




Here's a pic of our 'Jaws'




He's #25 in the black shirt. He's a zippy little fella, whose feet are almost as fast as his quick/sometimes smart mouth is.

October Hummer Family Event Contintued

Just a really quick post before we check out of the hotel and head home. We've had a fun-filled trip getting our truck dirty. It rained all day Friday, so the AM/General course was really wet and muddy - perfect hummer weather. The obstacles were fun and pretty "greasy" from all the rain and dirt. Ethan at one point, yelled out that he loved the "Muddles", which he explained to us were a combination of Mud and Water. He also complained that his car wasn't getting covered in enough chocolate.

Saturday was the Silver Lake Dunes, which is like riding natural roller coasters. We played, got towed off a crest of a dune when we became high-centered (stuck), towed somebody else off a dune when they became high-centered, and had a complete blast.

p.s. Yes, that is Madison standing next to a hummer with machine guns on the hood!!!

On The Road Again

The DeMille Family is in Indiana tonight for yet another Hummer Club Event. This time we're going to the AM/General course to play on the Real Hummer Trails, then on Saturday will be going up to Silver Lake Dunes in Michigan to do some more off-roading. The Cute Guy and EB can't stop smiling they're so excited.

Pics to follow.

Another 3 Year Old Moment

Scene: Hubbub had just read EB a story (what a nice big brother!) and I was tucking him into bed.

EB: "Momma, please read me my new book again!"

Mum: "No, it's late EB, but you can read your book in bed for a few minutes, if you'd like."

EB: "I can't read those words. I can only read some other words."

Mum: "What words can you read EB?"

EB: "You know, just the naughty ones."

Hubbub and I listen in eagerly and ask what words exactly can he read.

EB smirking: "Ones like Poo, Underpants, and Trucks. You know, the ones that get you in trouble."
