Wonderous Alexis Moments

I know, I know, I have slacked off a little. And if I don't write a post immediately it's hard to remember all the funny things said and done in our household. So, if I recall anything else, I'll be sure to post again. But today, two funny things came out of Alexis's mouth.

This morning we left for school relatively on time. We are about 8 minutes down the road and Alexis screams out "MOMMMMMYYYYYY.......I HAVE NO SHOES ON!". You may wonder how I could put a child in the car with no shoes on so I will now back up and let you in on how this could have happened. Alexis usually 9 1/2 times out of 10 takes her shoes off in the car and then won't put them back on when we get home so they usually reside in the car until she has to wear them again. So I asked her foolishly where her pink shoes were, and she said "in the car". So naturally, I believed her. I got Max all buckled in, then I got Lex all buckled in. Then, go to grab her shoes, but there were NO shoes in the car. So I say, "okay, Lex, I don't know where your pink shoes are so I'll just grab your sparkly shoes when I go back in to grab my drink, her backpack, and my bag." "Ok, mom". I go back inside, grab her backpack, my bag, and my drink, get in the car and drive away. Fast forward 8 minutes down the road, and then you know what happened. So we turn around. Alexis screams again, "BUT MOM, I DON'T WANT TO BE LATE FOR SCHOOL". Well, Alexis, you can't go to school with no shoes on my friend. "BUT THEY WILL DO STUFF WITHOUT ME AND THEN I WILL MISS IT". I'm sorry, baby, but you won't be that late I promise. "OKAY WELL DRIVE FAST". Okay, Lex, I'll do what I can. "BUT PLEASE DON'T CRASH". Yup, that's my plan.

The other funny incident occured in the first 5 minutes of the car ride, prior to the shoe incident. There is a church on the corner that every year has a Bethlehem Walk. So it's apparently this weekend and next weekend. They have a big truck out front advertising. On the truck is a cartoon like drawing of three men dressed in "garb" riding camels. As we pass by, Alexis says, "Hey, mom, is that the Macabees?" Ummmm, no Lex, not the Macabees. "Well, is that what the Macabees look like?" Well, probably. I love how she learns things at school and then applies it to her every day life. And of course, has no idea that there certainly would not be Macabees at a church!!!!!

I really should just start carrying a digital recorder with me so I could track ALL the things that come out of her mouth. I'm sure she would appreciate it one day. Oh, and, since it was raining this morning on my way home, I did not stop and take a picture of the truck with the "Macabees", but you better believe I will so I can add it to this post!!!!!!

UPDATE:
Here is the photo. It's a little hard to see with the tree in the way, but you get the idea.
