Cute Kid Stuff

These kids really keep us amused. Some cute things I've been writing down over the past few days....

Jefferson was going potty so I asked if he wanted a book to read. He says "Yes, but I need a LONG one because I am going to be here a LOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGGGGG time!"

Jefferson: I want to break the eggs

Shawn:How many do you want

Jefferson: 2, and Daddy how many do you want?

Shawn: 2

Jefferson:Dad, I need 4 bowls for the eggs

Shawn: I think you need one

Jefferson: (whispering), But Dad I won't know which eggs are mine and which are yours.

The boys made a boat out of couch cushions to "Sail to the Promised Land" they said.

"When I grow up, I am going to marry her, (Reagan). Just as soon as I grow up. Mommy, you need to have another baby, so Granty will have a girl to marry." - Jefferson

Recently whenever Grant is following behind us on a walk he yells, "Wait for me, kids!"

Grant woke up upset and crying. I go into his room and rub his back and ask "is there anything you need? Can mommy get you something?" He said "Yes.... a Monster Truck."

Grant was irritated with Jefferson and yelled (word for word).... "Go away, I don't like you, get out of here, I need space, I don't want you here, you're a bad guy, put him in his room, put him in jail and lock the door!"

Mommy: Jefferson, your hands look just like mine did when I was little

Jefferson: (concerned) Does that make me a girl then?

Mommy: Jefferson, you've been so good, thank you!

Jefferson: Well mommy, Grant is asleep, so I can't do anything bad.

Jefferson said "I saw something like that on Oprah" (I don't know if that's cute, or if I should be ashamed).

Reagan was screaming in the boys room and I opened their door to find their room completely covered with string (a spider web I was told) and Reagan tied up in the middle of it. Apparently the boys were spiders and Reagan was a fly. They were sticking their faces against her body and making sucking noises. She didn't seem to like being devoured by her blood sucking brothers.

Caught!!!! Reagan's favorite part about dinnertime is when everyone leaves the table and she is left to scour everyones' plates for things that she likes. And she becomes very defensive when we try to clear the table. Notice the wreath? Still up Those are just a few things coming from these little critters of mine. Maybe you won't find everything as amusing as Shawn and I did. But I think they're darn cute! They really keep us busy and entertained. I have a tendency to get upset at them a lot (for instance when they're sucking their sisters blood), but when I relax a bit and see the world through the eyes of a little child, I find a lot of joy and humor in all they do! Of course they're not maliciously sneaking into the cookie jar and making chocolate messes to make me mad..... they're kids and they can smell and find chocolate no matter where it's hidden (believe me!).
