I hope he'll be well off...

We talk, as all families do I'm sure, about what we're going to be when we grow up. Last night at the dinner table we discussed it again.

Gavin: I know what I want to be when I grow up!
Shawn: Oh yeah? What are you going to be?
Gavin: A daddy!
Shawn: How many kids are you going to have?
Gavin: 8
Shawn: Boys or girls?
Gavin: Both. I'm going to have them in a pattern ~ boy, girl, boy, girl.

We tried to explain the other day that being a daddy doesn't pay the bills... Hopefully he'll find a sugar mama. :)

**************************************************************

Last week he wanted to be an "Army Guy" and a race car driver. Indy car, not "Nasty car" (i.e. Nascar) ~ he was quick to point out.

I told him he's going to make me worry about him all the time.... But I s'pose that's what moms do best.

That is so cute! Marlena always wants to be a bulldozer driver, though once she said a mommy/lawyer, which just about make my heart burst with love.

Aren't they amazing? A fresh new look at the world every day.

I will let Ella know that she has a lot of work ahead of her. LOL! 8 kids!! We will have to team up when we babysit for them. ;-)

Oh HEE~LARIOUS. I'm hoping he finds that sugar mama too. I especially love the order he wants them in. :)

A daddy beats a 'nasty car' in my book :)

I just love that he's going to have them in a pattern. Good luck with that! :)

My brother, who is 25, has his opinions on the order children should be born too. When I told him I was pregnant he said, "It's a boy. Every family should have a big brother." (Note: I'm the big sister and he's the little brother!!)
