Elf Mischief

We had a very special package on our porch Thanksgiving weekend.  The kids unwrapped it to find our very own family elf to adopt!  We couldn't decided between two names to give him, so... we decided to give him a first and last name!

Meet Herbie Jingle!  The Fullmer family elf and Santa's little scout!  We were so excited to see what fun he had in store for us and here is just a little example of the mischief he has been up to so far!

Chicken Parts

I love my kids... they are so entertaining and the innocent things they say just totally put a smile on my face.  A few weeks ago as I was sitting in McDonald's having a nice lunch with my two littlest guys, my cute little 8 year old and I have the following conversation... but first, I will apologize if you already read this on FB, I am just wanting to document this here on our family blog in case, one day, I decide to ever make a book out of this thing!

So here goes... the conversation that took place and almost made the lady in the next booth have to perform the Heimlich on me!

Hunter:  "Mom, I know where chicken nuggets come from."
Me:  " A chicken!"
Hunter:  "NO, I mean I know what PART of the chicken."
Me:  "What part then?"
Hunter:  "The potty."
Me: (not sure I heard him right)  "The body?"
Hunter:  "No, the privates!"
Me: (laughing)  "No they don't!"
Hunter:  "Then why do they call them 'nuggets' ?"

That kid makes me laugh so hard!  I don't know if that's what they call "boy parts" these days but I loved his thought process.  I mean, they ARE round, deep fried pieces of chicken meat!  Where else on a chicken could perfectly round pieces of meat come from?
