The Marvelous Room Cleaning Machine ...

Before I start this blog ... I would just like to throw out there ... that this blog is way late.

Like ... a month late.

Bad Mommy Blogger ... I know!!!

In honor of Dr. Seuss birthday ... Eythen's kindergarten class was required to create a "Marvelous Room Cleaning Machine" of their own.

They came home with this piece of paper (see photo below) requesting that they draw their Marvelous Room Cleaning Machine on the piece of paper ... and then make one of their own.

Eythen suggested that he just draw a photo of me ...

Clever ...

He is just so darn clever ...

*sigh*

I was kind of thinking that it would be something "small" and "cute" and "convient"!!!

You know ...

Like the size of a dust buster!!!

Clint on the other hand ...

Veto'd my idea immediately of "small" and "cute" and "convient" ...

Eythen and Daddy had a WHOLE different idea brewing in their heads ... 

And it had NOTHING to do with Mommy ...


OR ...


"small" and "cute" and "convient"

Clint ...

And Eythen ...

Thought BIGGER WAS BETTER.

It took alot of time ...

And concentration ...

And planning ....

But Eythen and his Daddy completed the Marvelous Room Cleaning Machine.

They are both firm believers ...

That you either GO BIG OR GO HOME.

Me on the other hand ...

Still thought that  "small" and "cute" and "convient" was a good thing.

I had visions of my son taking someout out as he was walking down the hallway of his school ...

While taking his Marvelous Room Cleaning Machine to his classroom.

Or thinking that it would be a "good idea" to try to suck up the principal with his Marvelous Room Cleaning Machine.

Or attempting to use the EXTREMELY long tube as a bat while sitting in line waiting for the school bell to ring.

So Mommy escorted Eythen and his GO BIG OR GO HOME Marvelous Room Cleaning Machine to the kindergarten classroom ...

Just to be on the safe side.

Kind of the size of a dust buster ...

What do you want to be when you grow up?!?!?!

After getting an email from Eythen's kindergarten teacher (you can read that post here) ... I decided to ask the kids one of my favorite questions ...

What do you want to be whe you grow up???

The answers change daily ...

Harleigh: When I grow up I think I am gonna be a vet ... to pay the bills.  But I am also gonna work at Dairy Queen so I can eat all the ice cream I want.
(Harleigh is a HUGE pet lover ... but might possibly love sweets even more.  I cracked up when she said ... "to pay the bills.")

Breeanna: I think I am gonna be a dance teacher ... after all ... I have been dancing all my life.
(She idolizes her dance teacher, Miss Amanda.  But what is even more priceless ... her quote of  "I have been dancing all my life.  She is only 9 years old ... and has been dancing she she was 3 ... but her statement makes it sound like she is in her 20's.)

Eythen: I think I will work at Casey's. OR!!! I will drive Thomas the Train to see if he really does talk.  OR!!!  A farmer like Papa Gene because he could give me one of his really big tractors.

(Oh Eythen!  Gotta love the kid and his innocence's.)

I asked Eythen this evening if he learned anything new today at school today ... and without blinking an eye ... he replied with ... "NOPE! I already knew it all."
