Stan the ladies man!

Lock up your daughters, Aston is all about the ladies. Here`s your warning now. I will not remind you. Aston wubs da ladies. Or so I`ve been told from daycare workers. He loves chatting up the girls, and helping them out. What a sweet little boy! But truth be told, I am not crazy about any of my boys dating. Maybe it`s a momma thing, abotu not wanting to loose her boys to other ladies. But I sure hope, that when the time comes, they pick someone with as much brains as beauty. Cause both are equally attractive! Make the right choice boys.... make the right choice! ;)

Momma.... What`s that smell?

Okay so I`ve written about myself... .and Aston. To some it would look like that`s all the members there are in this family so far. Just wait, soon I`ll be writing so much about everyone, you all will be avoiding even coming in here to read.

Anyways, back to Aston and his odd question. Now some kids ask why all the time, some kids ask what`s this & what`s that? And as the parents give much thought as to how to explain and then start describing in detail what the child has asked about the¸child sneaks away cause they really just wanted a simple answer and now Dad is explain Quantum Physics.

Or you didn`t really see what they were looking at and now your explaining storm systems and cumulus clouds, and really the child just wanted to know what that hot air balloon was all about.

Or maybe even the child when passing a jack hammer says, what`s that noise? Well that is easy enough to answer too.

But not my son.

My dear, sweet, redheaded son Aston asks the oddest question ALL the time..... `Momma...... what`s that smell?`

Okay... smell.... so immediately I stick my nose up in the air, and start sniffing like a bloodhound on the trail of a fugitive. Of course, being an adult I smell many things, and I`m trying to distinct which smell he is talking about. You might think this is an easy answer. But honestly I`m telling you, it`s not!

What`s that? When pointing to something... easy! What`s that noise? Pipe up my ears and I start listening.

But seriously... what`s that smell?!?! I am pretty in tune with my 5 senses, but this child is challenging me to a sense-off, or scent-off! LOL

Geeze freakin louise! So let all make wagers on how many times I get the `Momma... what`s that smell?`game right?

Uh yeah, not very often!

Oh Stan-the-man... how you challenge me in odd ways :)

You`ll have to answer to me!!!

That`s what Aston was told by a fireman the other day at daycare. I swear my boys have the exact same crappy timing as their mother. Ahahaha!

It started when I picked up Aston at daycare, he found facination with the emergency fire alarm. He kept on running his fingers over it. Looking at my slyly, as to say without words... `well, what are you going to do about me touching this momma?` Once I actually saw what he was doing, I started talking to him about how that is for a fire, and it`s for emergencies, and only adults can pull it.

But when picking up the three youngest boys, it`s a mad house by the door, changing shoes, getting on coats, loading up back packs with homework & lunchkits. So I look over to see Aston touching the fire alarm again, exasperated that my mini safety lecture didn`t work, I just said `Aston! I told you not to touch that!!`  then from behind me I hear... `yeah cause if you pull that you`ll have to answer to ME!!` Well Aston poor timing lead to one of the Dad`s at daycare saying that to my little boy. The funniest part was the Dad was in full uniform.

I just had to laugh that Aston`s timing is about a perfect as his mothers! Only he could be trying my patience with a fire alarm while there was a firefighter standing right there. LOL Needless to say he ran & hid behind me right away and didn`t touch the alarm again! Silly boy :)
