Things overheard at the Payne house

Nate:
My feet are soooo hungry. They're ready for a snack!

My daddy is a giant.

(After tasting his green grapes) Hmmm. These taste like grass and my potty.
(Note: He has never tasted his potty, that I know of. It just happens to be green like grapes and grass.)

My wheels are tired.

That train is in my heart. And that train is in my heart. And that train is in my heart too.

(Flipping through a parenting magazine over and over until he finds an ad with a little boy in it.)

"There you are! I was looking for you everywhere in this!"

Georgia:
Puts pair of pants on her head and LAUGHS and laughs and laughs. Then takes them off. Then puts them back on her head and LAUGHS and laughs and laughs.

Kittens:
We wake up in the middle of the night to THUMP! KATHUMP! THUMP! The kittens take run and go's and hurl themselves up agains our bedroom door over and over again, until they bust it open.

Mama and Nate:

Mama: Nate, guess what! Memaw and GrandBob are coming on Thursday to stay with you and Georgia for a couple days while mama and daddy go to Las Vegas!
 
Nate: Begas? But I will miss you!
 
Mama: I'll miss you too, but you're going to have so much fun playing with Memaw and GrandBob.
 
Nate: But they don't live here.
 
Mama: They'll live here for a couple of days while we're gone. I bet Memaw will teach you new songs and play games ...
 
Nate: And maybe she'll play trains with me? (big smile)
 
Mama: Absolutely.
 
Nate: Is it Thursday yet?
 
*********
Okay, we're leaving in the morning for our trip to Las Vegas!!!! The company that Blake works for offers a Vegas trip as an incentive every year. Last year Blake went by himself and I stayed home because Georgia was only 3 weeks old. This year, we're leaving the kids at home! We've only spent the night away from Nate twice in his whole life, and both times were this year. I spent one night away from Georgia back in August, but Blake was here with the kids. So three days and two nights with both of us away ... I'm a little nervous! Nate will miss us, but he'll be fine. Georgia on the other hand ... I'm not so sure! I just hope she sleeps for Janie. She will probably surprise us all.
 
Even though I'm nervous about leaving the kids, I'm also really excited! I've never been to Las Vegas, and Blake and I haven't been on a trip by ourselves since our honeymoon 7 years ago! It's about time!
