Mother's Day Shenanigans

Is that even how you spell shenanigans?  I'm not sure.  I never claimed to be a great speller and even though I was just in a show about a spelling bee, it unfortunately did not rub off on me at all.  I now can correctly spell boanthropy, flagellate, chimerical, hallux and elanguescence, but that is it.  So lower your expectations please.  I CAN'T TAKE THIS PRESSURE.

Anyway, this past weekend was Mother's Day and I hope you all spent some great quality time with your Mommy's if you were able to.  In the life of my mother, Tonya Godwin, however, it isn't just Mother's DAY. No, no.  It is Mother's Day WEEKEND and you better be in her sight for all of it.  You might call it a lockdown.  My mother actually does call it that.  haha.  But we had a really great weekend and had some really fun family times.  Made a late night run to get icecream after dinner Saturday night, spent some time out by the pool and played Just Dance on the wii ALLLLL weekend.  It was seriously the funniest thing I have seen/done in a long time.  Since you couldn't be there to witness the hilarity, I will post a little video I took.  Notice Jordan complaining about how she's tired the whole way throughout (typical) and Haley being completely focused and serious about it.  She is going for blood. And then there's me....laughing like a crazy person behind the camera (also typical).



I'm actually really sore from doing that thing.  You can laugh, but it was a SERIOUS workout.

Anyway, it was a great weekend had by all.  Such good family times and I enjoyed every second of it.  Here are some picsies for you :)

HAPPY MOMMY'S DAY! 

And now for a little section I like to call...

QUOTES FROM "THE TON" 

(ton as in tonya, not a literal ton):

Things my mother has actually said:

• "Isn't it interesting how comets look like sperm?"
• (to my sisters and I) "Without me, y'all would be a bunch of stinky, ugly, NOTHINGS!"
• "No, I'm not your best friend Jordan.....I'm your worst enemy."
• JORDAN: "what if i choked you with this tape measure?"
  MOTHER: "what if i pushed your nose into your brain and killed you?"
  JORDAN: ".....what?"
• "Haley, there is a demon inside of you, and I'm going to BEAT it out of you if I have to."
• "I don't like a stinkin' machine, with a stinkin' video camera on it, so you're gonna be on,  I'm gonna look on youtube and see you naked! I'm tired of it."
• "We're the Godwins.  You might have heard of us."
• (running to the window to see helicopters as they fly over the house) GIRLS!!! IT'S THE MILITARY!!!!"

With that, I will conclude this post.  Hahahah.  So thankful for my Momma.  She is quite a woman and one HECK of a mother.  Oh and in case you haven't seen this little gem yet, here's an oldie but a goodie:



HAHAHAH.  Classic.
