Welcome to Not Me! Monday, MckMama's amazingly fun blog carnival. Have something to get off your chest? Of course not! I never do things that could cause me guilt or embarassment, so instead, I'll tell you all the things I did not do this week!
After twittering about my Zac Efron love and going back and forth about how much of an age difference was creepy and how much was acceptable, I did not specifically look up Zac's age. (It is not October 18, 1987...21!). I am not thrilled that he is even older than I thought! When I texted my friend to tell her, she did not text back "Legal. That's the way I like them. :)" Now the only problem is we're married. And he has no idea that either one of us exist.
I do not wish that dessert delivery services existed for the nights that all the kids are in bed and I am craving ice cream/candy/chocolate/pie/cake. I would not spend an exorbitant amount of money on cheesecake if they did exist.
Walking out of the bowling alley the other day, I did not suddenly realize I was singing "Oh No, You never let go, through the calm and through the storm," very loudly and badly and in the hearing of about 20 other people in the parking lot. I did not quickly duck into the van and pretend that the kids had been singing instead of me.
Speaking of the bowling alley, Jace was obsessed with bowling completely on his own. He couldn't understand how to granny bowl and get some speed going, so the ball kept stopping halfway down the lane and just sitting there. Every time that happened, I had to push the call button. I did not end up leaving the ball in the lane because I was too embarassed to push the call button for the 54th time. To keep Jace from melting down, I did not tell him that the point of the game was to keep from knocking any of the pins down.
When we were eating dinner at a restaurant the other night, the waitress did not stop dead when she heard me say Jace's name and say "Did you just say Jace? That's not his name, is it?" When I assured her that it was, in fact, his name, she did not get visibly upset about the fact that that was also her son's name and she had thought he was the only one. When my friend jumped in and said "Oh yeah, and I know a 7 year old Jace, too!", that waitress did not look like she might actually cry.
While watching High School Musical 3 this weekend, I did not sing along to every song. Loudly. I did not dance every dance. Badly. Ava and Jace did not ask me to please stop and sit down.
While we were watching the movie, after the Ryan/Sharpay dance number where she dances in a leotard, Ava did not say "During that song, Sharpay really should have given herself some privacy. Those fringes on her bottom were not modest at all." I did not bust out laughing before I agreed with her.
Happy Monday, everyone! Head on over to MckMama's to join the fun!

Those were too funny!
Sorry - the waitress would have been really unhappy. My friend's little guy is also a Jace. What matters is if YOU love it!
By the way... I loved reading an earlier post where one of Seth's older siblings was telling him a story. SUCH good bonding and communicating time - regardless of how Seth is receiving it right now. My mother never stopped singing to me and it is the very first thing I did when they placed hearing aids in my ears for the first time. They stood in shocked silence as I belted out "Oh Susannah" and "I've Been Working on the Railroad".
This kind of interaction is just what Seth (and any child) needs. Glad to see your little ones are so very loved!
The Zac Efron thing made me laugh so hard. Can't believe you looked up his age. Have a great Monday!

I take Malaki bowling too. Where we take him they have these metal rail ramps he can set his ball on and let it go and it rolls faster. Might be good looking into that.
I was slightly disappointed the other day when I saw both of my younger sons names on the my church preschool name board, but I wasn't going for most unique so no tears here! Great post and good to know Zac is legal, LOL!
One of my best friends has a little boy named Jace as well. ;)
People get bent out of shape for the dumbest reasons. I know we all like unique names, but she can't think she made it up, can she?? :o)
Adorable blog. Just found it. Your family is beautiful:)
Wib.
Gosh, El, you had me dying laughing. Sadly, you should tell Ava to get used to the lack of modesty!!
Oh man, a dessert delivery service would be wonderful.
Sometimes I wish McDonald's had a delivery service too.
Great NMM!
Will send you a pic of my Seth-bracelett soon!!!

Ok, so I was going to say that your Not Me's are hilarious (and they ARE!) but now I have to tell you that my 16-month-old daughter is trying to lick Seth off my screen while I am typing. Maybe she thinks she is kissing him? :) She loves babies!
Keep dancing to HS Musical. (Who cares if the kids think we're weird?) My kids have learned to dance / sing with me to Mama Mia! :) I think its one of those "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" things?
Now just exactly when you you intend to tell Jace that the goal of bowling is, in fact, knocking down the pins? Ha ha ha That's a FUNNY ONE! =0)
And I have a cousin named Jayce, too. Spelled differently, but pronounced the same anyway. Not so terribly uncommon anymore. Funny waitress.
nothing wrong with singing its just the places we choose to sing in lol
No way! What it means is that the title we finally come up with will be so monumentally awesome that it will be a historically successful project!!!! :)
Too funny. Love the bowling one...never seen any of the HSM.
Two things:
1) Zac Efron makes me feel like a cougar.
2) HSM 1 was the best. Seriously. We are all in this together. Come on. That song ROCKS!
One of my bff's has a nephew that was in HSM3, I don't remember his characters name, but it's Matt Prokop. He's so cool as to call and talk to all the girls when they have a slumber party. I don't have girls so I've missed the HSM3 boat.
Haha, love the one about the waitress. It's almost as if people have become obessed with trying to come up with the most unique name they can find for their child.
They should name them because they love the name, and not worry about whether anyone else has it or not.
