So yesterday he a plate full of them, and let me tell you, FOR JOSEPH to actually eat that much is a BIG DEAL, he's NOT a big eater!!! So then his mom comes outside and is like, Joseph, did you eat that ravioli that  you dropped on the floor earlier? (Apparently, she had been looking for it to clean up) Joseph was like, YUP, I sure did!!!! Soooooooo we all started laughing!!! And i'm like, YEAH, that's MY BOY!!! Cuz I DESPISE when THE FOOD I MAKE GETS WASTED...I don't care if its store bought, BUUUUUUT IF I MADE IT WITH MY HANDS...yeah...

.

So we're all laughing and Joseph says, well the reason why I ate it is because I have a rule about ravioli!!! We're like, a RULE????

He says yes, a RULE!!! It's,

The NO RAVIOLI LEFT BEHIND RULE!!!!

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

That's a very ITALIAN rule!!! I like  LOVE it!!!

Aunt Mary IS...

This blog post is by special request of my nephew Joseph!!! I was laughing so hard after this incident happened he said, your going to post about this on your blog, AREN'T YOU AUNT MARY??? I was like, do you want me too???? He said YES!!! Pretty, pretty please Aunt Mary, WITH A CHERRY ON TOP!!! Who can resist a plea like that??? I'm telling you all, THE CHERRY gets me EVERY TIME!!! AHAHAHA!!! This is how the story goes...

.

So the other day, Saturday, when I was treating the kids to free samples at Costco, Mary Jo had said she would get the younger kids buckled in while I was getting my purse from my room. So a few minutes later, when I walked out to the car, the kids were all buckled in and waiting for me. While they were waiting, my nephew Joseph was singing a little song he had written about his Aunt Mary while he was waiting for her to come out to the car. It went like this...

♫♪Aunt Mary is the most beautiful-ist.... (Awwww) ...

BUUUUUUT...It had a second part...

♪♪Aunt Mary is the most beautiful-ist, BUUUUUUT her car is the most disgusting-ist...

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT????

AHAHAHAHA!!! Okaaaaaaaay before anyone wants to start judging and reprimanding me for my car being a mess, I want to say TWO THINGS!!!

.

#1. Everything in the back of my car are from CHILDREN THAT ARE NOT MY OWN!!! Nieces, Nephews, Children I babysit, Sunday School kids, etc, etc...Sooooooooo obviously, their parents haven't been teaching them to pick up after themselves... (jk! Jk parents! ;)

.

#2. It was part of my New Years Resolution this year to get my car cleaned and organized AND to keep it that way...I would like to emphasize on the that says, BY THE END OF THE YEAR...I still have two whole months after this month to accomplish this goal...AND I WILL DO IT!!! I have completed just about ALL of my other New Years Resolutions!!!

.

 SOOOOOO...by the end of the year my nephew will be singing, ♪Aunt Mary is the beautiful-ist AND her car is NOT the most disgusting-ist, its NOT the handsome-ist buuuuuut it IS the awesome-ist...

JUST LIKE AUNT MARY IS!!!

 AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!!
