Overhead at our dinner table…
While thoroughly enjoying my turkey wrap with a side of salt & vinegar Kettle chips, one chip in particular caught my eye…
To which CD replied…
And we will soon be parents to three impressionable young children. Kind of scary, no?

hehehehe…. I am glad other families have weird conversations like that.
And for the kids? Life is going to always be interesting! Until they become teenagers and we parents will be horribly embarrassing! lol
CD, he will keep those kids in stitches and you rolling your eyes. But, it is a good combo. My brother has the most love for everything yet he is so silly I wonder about him sometimes. Hopefully your kiddos will be a blend…if not, get some earplugs ASAP! ha ha.
Jill,
Fingers crossed for a good blend of us both.
Oh my gosh Heather, how did I miss that you were expecting again? So happy for you all
Sarah,
Thank you and no worries – I just posted it last week. We’re having twins – I’m due in July.
OMG i am so with CD on that one.. immediate reaction…
ahahaha for what it’s worth i thought heart first…then butt ;p
haha love this! got to keep that humor up with all those kids
This (and the “re-decorating your hubby does at Christmas) cracks me up. There will be lots of smiles and giggles at your house with his sense of humor! Congrats to you all regarding the news your family will be growing!
Paula,
Haha – too funny that you remember the NOEL to LEON re-decorating. Unfortunately, CD dropped the “E” this year while doing some stocking stuffing, and it broke. I’ll have to find some new letters for next year, b/c really, what is a Christmas mantle with LEON?
Ha, that totally brought me back to being to me being a kid living under my parents roof. I recall many conversations very similar that that one when I was a kid with my parents. My dad has a great sense of humor and would have said the same thing.
I think it’s healthy! My mom went through a phase where the word “butt” was banned from our house. We had to say “bottom”. Try going to elementary school and making “bottom” jokes with your friends. It doesn’t work out that well.
Susan,
Same thing with my best friend. We were not allowed to say “butt” at her house, but I’m sure we said it plenty at mine.
Classic. And not only will they be 3 small children, you’ll have 3 under the age of what, 18 months? You may need to pick up the red wine and chocolate along with the potato chips
Averie,
Ha, and maybe some vodka…and I don’t even drink.
HAHA love it!
Heart!
I love cd! Ha!!
Hahahahaha I love it! Sounds like a conversation I’d have with Dennis!! xoxo
Think of it this way; you are offering them multiple perspectives. It’s an invaluable skill!
People with a great sense of humor make the best parents;-)cc
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…..that is AWESOME.
*snicker*
a day does not go by where I do not fear for the future maturity of Misty…. dear oh dear I don’t think fart/bum/toilet jokes will ever be unfunny to me
Lou,
I share your same fears. I will laugh anytime someone mentions the words “penis” or “poop”. Can’t help myself, and I blame it on the fact that I grew up with two brothers.
I like to call it a wee-nis as that’s where the wee comes from. I’d watch out if one/both of the twins happens to be a boy – they like to wee on you
Bahahahaha!!!
Hate to say it, but as soon as I saw it I thought, “butt!!”
And the boy girl debate continues…
I love it!! Humor is also one of the best skills to parent with and to pass on, best advice my Mom ever taught me! It saved a stitution that could have gone south, many a times. Your children are lucky little ones!
Is it wrong that I kind of see the butt chip as balls? Chubby balls at that!
You two are so adorable! I’m actually going to be just like that with my future kids too
Holy cow! I think this is one of my most favorite posts ever! :0 That made me laugh in a “hardy” kinda way. I’ve had those kind of conversations with Graham. You are too funny, love ya!
Critty
Critty,
So happy to hear the post made ya hardy. I miss those laughs!
Oh and I would have to side with CD on this one….I think it looks more like a butt instead of a heart.
typical guy/ girl response. men are from Venus, women from Mars. mailed your book to you today Heather. Be well.
Thanks Anita. Can’t wait to read it!
lol love it
made me smile!
Are you expecting and I didn’t even know it?!!?
Chelsey,
Yep. Twins, and due in July.
CONGRATS!!!! It is my absolute dream to have twins. I’ll live vicariously through you.
This is honestly why I know you are, and will continue to be, amazing parents. Families who laugh together, stay together
Hey, who wants parents without a sense of humor?
I love you guys.
And I love my Peas!
Lol, nothing wrong with hearts or butts. We all have them!
My dad and I have always had weird conversations. And we could always cuss out bad drivers with equal gusto.
Mimi,
Love it
Heather!!!!!! I am so excited for you!!!! If I was in Nashville right now I would be at your door step. Yay for twins! I can’t wait for you to go through it all!!! Would love to chat twin talk if you ever want to. And… It’s a good thing you both have a good sense of humor- you’ll need it the first 6 months for sure.
When is your due date?
Kristin,
I’m due July 21 but was told to expect the babies a little earlier.
I emailed with some more details and questions. Hope you don’t mind, but I might be doing that a lot over the next few months.
Hahaha priceless, this is too cute! You guys will be the most fun parents
oh Heather, you guys crack me up. I love it. I think humor makes for a happy marriage. At least in my opinion.
Alex,
I agree.
HAHA! Typical male. I love it!! Sounds like a great sense of humor
hahahaha I love it! Kids need parents with a good sense of humor, so I say they’re in excellent hands
haha that is so funny! humor makes everything better!
Hee! Love it!
Around kids, you can never go wrong with a good butt joke. That’s my theory of parenting, anyway.
My friend began drawing a flower on a whiteboard, and realized that the drawing looked like a butt after two petals were finished. Then she wrote “It’s a butt” below the drawing…and realized that she was using a permanent marker on school property.
Wierd,
oops.
I just popped by to catch up on the last couple of posts, and starting with the newest I got thrown for a loop. I thought, “Could she be talking about her dogs as extra children”? I also thought, “Are they adopting 2 children”?! NEVER thinking the obvious – IS SHE PREGNANT WITH TWINS?! LOL! Silly me … Congratulations and all the best! That is SO exciting!! Summer will be a wonderful big sister
Dana,
Haha – yep, twins! Still don’t believe it myself some days. Thanks for the congrats, and I hope you are well.
You are so funny Heather!!
And no, it is not scary, it is amazing! Do you know already if they are boys or girls?
Oh, and I have to comment here about the previous post too: Summer is so beautiful, and so grown, she is precious! And those cookies… oh my, I want to make some too!!! (I am on the chocolate days of the month!)
Ana
Ana,
Well, nothing better to cure a chocolate craving than chocolate cookies with caramel. Peanut butter in their as well, and so I’d think they’d be perfect.
We’ll find out the genders in another month, and I can’t wait. All we know is that the twins are fraternal.
No offense to you, but it definitely looks more like a butt than a heart. But then again, I have a warped sense of humor. As does your husband apparently
Thanks for making me smile with that story
Teeny,
You’re welcome, and I think you and CD would get along great!
That is awesome! It kind of reminds me of the Brad Paisley song, “I’m Still a Guy”
Oh but keeping it fun makes life so much more interesting! Life is serious enough, sometimes we all need a little butt-heart chip lovin’ to keep it light!
Oh my gosh Heather! I haven’t been here in a while. What exciting news!!! Twins!!! Congratulations!!
Thanks so much Colleen.
