"Want to play?"


"Hmpf..."

Glad I was listening

The 3 amigos are riding in the backseat of the car (Alex is in the middle). Athan and Ambrose roll their windows down when Athan turns to Alex and says, "Alex, roll your window down!"

Alex replies, "I not have one window."

Athan demands, "Then open your mouth!"

So Alex rode for a while with his mouth wide open.


**UPDATE for the last post: Ambrose lost BOTH teeth on the same day (June 16)!

"THAT just happened" --A new segment

This is a new segment called "That just happened." It's for the little (or big) things I witness around the house. Enjoy the 1st one!

Two nights ago Alex and Athan were pretty rowdy going to bed, but Jesse's brother was over visiting so we kind of let them be silly in bed while we talked --rather than laying down the law ;) Anyway, Ambrose came downstairs to tell us that his brothers had stuck "big band-aids" all over the bunk beds & wall. Sounded like it needed my attention so I headed up to see what in the world was going on...uh, yeah, the 2 little rascals had gotten into not only the band-aid stash in the bathroom, but also my panty liners and had stuck them ALL over the place! Oh brother. Oh, it gets better... So we see Alex right away in the room, but Athan is no where in sight until I notice all the blankets crammed under his bed. I move the blankets to find him hiding under there, I make him come out and when he does he is butt NAKED!! About the funniest thing I ever saw, it definitely lightened up the moment. Those boys, those boys.

"Glad I was listening" -Bathroom edition

**Be warned, this entry uses 'bathroom words' (which are frequently heard in a house full of boys)


(Alex is sitting on the potty)
Athan: I need to go potty like you right now.
Alex: Then go upstairs. I am going "Dia-neena".
Athan: Dianeena?
Alex: Yes. Do you know what Dianeena means? It's when you have to go lots of poop. and lots of pee. Lots of pee AND poop.

Now Athan just came running up to me saying "I did go two pees! So now I get two candies cuz I did go two pees!"
