Texas Twang

Oh it's the little things. 

Well, we are Texans and there's no doubt about it!  I just love my smooth talking Texas man.  As much as I have fought to fight my Texas twang, it seems that there's no separating us.  You know how the saying goes.  If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!  

Yes, we should be our own country. :) But that's another blog.  

Today we were reviewing the letter U.  U as in the uh sound.  Like Umbrella Bird.   
So as part of our curriculum, I read the following sentence and asked her to tell me which word has the 'uh' sound: Jesus went back to Heaven.  

She said, "tuh"  

I read the sentence again except this time minus the Texas accent.  

"Oh.  Jesus."  she said. 

God bless all you Texans!  





In lieu of the 'uh' sound, I just wanted to brag about the incredible luck we had today at the stuffed animal machines today. First try and we pulled out this 50 cent reindeer.

Spanking Wars

In lieu of my last blog about discipline, I decided to reveal a fun family secret we have sickly adopted.  :-) 

It all started one day.....

Daddy did something to tease Katie.  We decided that Daddy deserved a spanking.  Daddy being the most fun loving guy (and out numbered by votes) decided he would take his punishment. 


Here is the 'play by play lucky I had the phone camera near' shots! 

Batter up!  Do you see Daddy 'squenching' in fear?!
