Who's that man momma?

We had a teacher's workday yesterday so the girls and I decided to make a day at Dan Nicholas Park. We ran a few errands and got there around noon and they played hard for 4 hours. We hit the carousel, train, putt putt, reptile and fish building, and the playgrounds. The kids were exhausted when we left, but I still wanted to go into Salisbury and get my oil changed so I wouldn't have to fit that in one evening after work. Emily stayed awake for the ride over to the Toyota dealership, but Abigail went to sleep on the way over. When we got there I went and got the service person and told him I had to get the kids out of the car. While I was getting the key off my keyring the service guy opened the car and sat down in the driver's seat to write down mileage and whatever else they look at and by the time I got around to Abi's side of the car and woke her up, he was ready to drive the car into the bay. Abigail comes out of her 10 minute coma, looks up at the man in my driver's seat, and groggily slurs out the words, "Who's that man momma?" and then her little head falls back to her chest. It was so cute! We get out of the car and everything else goes as planned. Last night at supper we were talking about our day and telling Brandon about what we did and Abi says "Who was that man that drove us there?" Brandon looks at me and says "Yeah momma, who was that man?" I thought I would die!!! It was so funny. I could not get it through her head that he didn't actually drive us there because to her he obviously he did! Oh my goodness, good thing I have nothing to hide!

First time blogging

Well, everyone else does it, so I my as well get started myself! I guess I should explain why I named this mismatched socks and mischief. I was trying to set up the new blog name and everything I could possibly think of already existed. I looked over and saw the laundry basket of clothes that needed to be folded and I thought I would walk away from the computer and fold clothes while I thought of a name for my blog. After putting away all of the clothes I realized that between the 4 people in our household, I only have 13 mismatched socks today! Wow! How does that happen? Where are they? Who knows! Do I care, we will just have to buy more, that's how it goes. Downstairs I could hear the kids and that's self explanatory-mischief. So there we go mismatched socks and mischief PERFECT! And it's not already taken! Good, let's get going. It's another rainy Saturday in the Carolinas and the kids are stuck in the house. Never mind the new 20" bike Emily got this past week, or the batting tee that Abigail got to try to practice her swinging. We have all kinds of new outdoor toys and the kids are stuck inside playing the Wii! Emily has recovered from her bicycle wreck and her 4-wheeler wreck from a few weeks ago. We decided her bike wreck was partly do to it being way to small for her height and her knees were over handle bar level. Poor child, I guess I need to check her toes and make sure she hasn't grown out of her shoes too without us noticing! Abigail has been a trickster lately. She plays pranks on everyone, including hiding my bra while I was in the shower! She got tested for the county's preschool program yesterday and I think she told them she didn't know things that she probably does know, she was just being contrary! We will have to watch out for her. She is going to be our trouble maker, I do believe.
