Magic

I'm such a blog slacker! :P It's not because my boys no longer make me laugh, quite the contrary. I blame Facebook! :) It's just so easy to post and get instant feedback. There goes my "record" to use for the future. I plan to get better about it! Anyway...

Chase. The cool dude in the picture. He's a thinker, that one. Last night I told them they needed to get to bed early since it was "daylight savings time". Of course I had to explain that we have to set our clocks ahead an hour and we therefore lose an hour... assuring them that it would make us all extra tired in the a.m. if we didn't go to bed early. (Why is it that I'm the only one tired?! lol) Anyway, after asking multiple questions about what time it was and what time it was going to be, etc. Chase looked at me and with a mixture of interest, intrigue, and amazement asked, "So, we're time travelers?" And well... I guess we are! (Makes daylight savings sound soooo much cooler, don't you think?!)

Honesty... the best policy?

One day a few weeks ago Chase was having tummy troubles, so I kept him home from school. He just couldn't be too far from the bathroom. (I think he ate too many cherries and grapes the day before!) When I picked Aiden up from school, we had the following conversation:

Me, "How was school?"

Aiden, "Mrs. Daniels asked me 'Where's Chase'?"

Me, "What did you tell her?"

Aiden, "He had to stay home because everytime he farted a little bit of 'dockeria' (that's what my boys call it) came out."

Some things are better left unsaid... But little boys don't seem to get that! :)

Sharing

We were hangin' with my sweet niece, Mara Jade the other day.

Aiden came into the room where I was and excitedly showed me some big fat pretzel sticks that Mara Jade shared with him! What a nice cousin!

He then informed me, "She doesn't really like pretzels. She just likes the salt. So, she licked off all the salt and then let me eat the pretzel! Isn't she soooo nice?"

Uh, ya, Aiden. That's the first thought that came to my mind too... "NIiIIiIIiIIiIIIIiIICE"
(After I threw up in my mouth a little bit! I'm tellin' ya... nothing is gross to boys!)
