Me- Don't forget to brush your teeth and comb your hair.
Thing 2 - Why do we have to look good?
Me - It's called "basic grooming!"
Thing 3 wanting someone to ride bikes with him.
"Maybe Dad will be kind enough to ride bikes with me when I finish my chore. Sigh. Everyone is growing up too fast. Including me. I'm double growing this year. I grow a centimeter per day."
Thing 3 at the library as I'm returning about 50 lbs worth of books.
"I'll be in the kid's section reloading!"
Thing 2 - Sitting on the couch with his rat while playing LOTR Risk with Thing 1. "Mom guess what? You won't be finding any rat hairs because rats don't shed!" (What a relief?!?)
I just stepped over a boy sprawled out in the middle of the kitchen floor burping repeatedly.
After spending two hours scrubbing down our kitchen I walked into the dining room to find a boy's pants abandoned under the table.
"You're not smiling mom" Guster (says to me while I'm baking Christmas cookies. Then he turns to his father who is wrestling with Christmas lights "You're not smiling Dad. Get with the program." I'm smiling now.
When my T1 (12 yr old) realized he was stuck in the van all the way to Denver listening to Anne he yelled from the backseat "Stop the Pain!" LOL- but they all loved it, I know!
T3- Are we going to order new glasses today so I can be a smarty pants?
Me- (hmmm, I think we are already there!)
I had my kids listen to the Breakpoint commentary today about Reformation day. They thought he said "95 feces" instead of "theses" and couldn't stop laughing to hear the rest. #homeschoolfail. Maybe we will come back to this one next year...#homeschoolingboys
My son just asked me to set up a playdate for his rats...these boys make me laugh every day!
T2 - While rediscovering legos again with his brothers bc I moved them to a different room. "We are really CREATIVE at making trees into WEAPONS!"
