Boys and Their Thoughts

All my kids are pretty darn adorable to me. Hilarious at times too. Mark is currently at that age where he says some pretty random and interesting things. I've jotted a few down for your enjoyment (or torture jk) with a sprinkle of Matthew-ness as well.

As Mark and Miriam were bickering in the car, I'm blocking most of it out, but all of a sudden I hear...

"And Miriam, do NOT ask for anything to eat. We are almost home."

Mark: "Do you know what can knock a building down? Nothing can do that. Except maybe a fire can knock a building down."

Me: "Okay..." 

Matthew: "Or if a house was next to a water tower and the water down fell down on the house, it could break it." 

As the kids were leaving Costco with my mom...
 "I wish we could live here."

As my mom was making the kids lunch...
 "I do not like lettuce in my salad!"

Talking about going to the doctor...
 "Grandma Sue, after lunch you are going to your disappointment."

"Knuckle sandwiches are just tacos."

And one of Miriam, my sister took awhile back...

Warm weather brings...lots of stripes?

The boys, enjoying the warm shorts weather. They obviously dress themselves most days. They love the stripes. And mismatched socks, which apparently are "in." They also love to wear them with sandals, which I swore I'd never let my children do, along with mismatched outfits (I thought I'd pick out stylish matching outfits before I actually had kids and then I thought, "I'll make sure all their bottoms are neutral so they can pick ANY shirt out and it'll match..."). Put that down into the "things I said I'd never do as a parent...and then, I did."

Miriam, multi-tasking. She'd take a look out at the yard, then put her hand in the water, then look back out and talk to the tree, then put her hand back in the water. Also, this is the cute, easy skirt I made her. Fits perfectly!

Matthew wanted me to take a picture of him, so he held up what he was playing. Note Mark's knee also in the picture. He has a current obsession with band-aids. Anytime he falls, runs into a wall, imagines he has hurt himself, he needs a band-aid. Thankfully, I got four boxes of the kids ones free recently, so, Mark, band-aid away, my son!

I love this picture because you can see Miriam's dimple! Love it! That and it's a pretty unique facial expression too.

This is one of the kids' favorite toys currently. I scored this little bee at a resale for $6. I have already gotten my money's worth out of this little guy.

p.s. I love that Miriam loves wearing skirts! 

A Little Humor for Your Day

When asked, "What does a chicken say?" Mr. 2-yo matter-of-factly answered, "I'm a chicken."
