#23 Enough is Enough: Payton Ruth Anne Richardson Was Only 12-Year-Old

Enough is Enough: Payton Ruth Anne Richardson Was Only 12-Year-Old: What's really heartbreaking is that, during a time when there is such a strong, positive movement going on worldwide, we're still having you...

#23 picking the battle

I must remember not to be overly upset with my children all the time. I need to pick and choose my battles.

The reason for this... Some day they will have to pick and choose my nursing home!!!

It really is common sense if you think about it!

#22 Super Bowl according to Alex

by Alex Reifert on Sunday, February 5, 2012 at 11:36pm
there are some things you need to keep in mind when reading this recap:

1) this is the first super bowl that i have ever really paid attention to...
2) actually, it's the first football game that i have watched from beginning to end...
3) i brought a book to the super bowl party just in case i got bored watching the game like i usually do
4) i DID NOT watch the same super bowl game that everyone else in the world watched,
5) my mom's friends are just awesome!!!
6) there were jello shots, lots of beer, and a little bit of wine...
7) carly is female, doesn't know football that well, but is still trying to learn the game...
8) carly is EXTREMELY gullible...

so...
-what is the super bowl number? we respond "XLVI"... carly says "ok, but what number?"... "...46 carly..."
-which team are you rooting for? carly shouts that she's rooting for the one on the screen...
-the commentators are talking about Tom Brady... so, carly starts singing the Brady Bunch theme song...
-everyone started talking about the yellow line that was sometimes on the field and we told carly that one of the guys at the party put LED lights under the turf...
-one of the guys started talking about stars... then the halftime show came on and there were stars on the ground...
-madonna made the numbers jump at the halftime show
-the reason they run up and down the field is because of the mice and spiders, but the spiders disappear when they drop the ball...
-the numbers on the side of the field are how many alimonies the football players have to pay and they run to the endzones to get rid of an alimony...
-apparently they installed a doorknob behind carly when she wasn't looking just to watch her hit it several times during the game...
-the reiferts stick together
-"Waka w ask a" sent from my mom's phone... from carly...
-steve was trying to throw carly off and everyone went with it, he made up something about an app that you can get where you draw lines on the football field... there was actually an app called hardlines that was exactly what steve described...
-there was a touchdown where the guy stopped and dramatically fell back into the endzone... all you could hear was "what in the hell is he doing?"
-carly was trying to talk about the discount double check... kept saying discount double dip...
-most said phrase all night; "good thing you're so pretty, carly"
-the giants won 21-17

many more memorable moments... did you notice how most of these involve carly? it's because we love her SOOO much...

#21 Super Bowl

Still don't get it! So far the men at the Super Bowl said to me the following ..

Mike - just look for the stars on the field (needless to say, stars appeared later when Madonna came out)

Steve - there is this app that lets you draw the line on the field from your phone.

#20 Gaby-ism

Me- how much do you live mommy?

Gaby- ummm ummm a lot of weeks!

Seems legit!

#19 Come Lay With Me

I do believe that the best feeling in the world is when your toddler is in that half asleep / half awake mode and they say "can you lay down with me?"

Now, it doesn't help when your toddler hasn't brushed his teeth.

I'll pass out now.
