Kid Quotes

Ethan:

One day, Ethan was sitting at the bar, eating lunch and drinking his milk. He turned to me and said, "Mom, I know where milk comes from." So I said, "Where?" and he said, "cows". I smiled and said "good job buddy". Then, a minute later he asked, "Mom, why do cows pee milk?". I got a good laugh out of that while I explained a few more facts about cows to him.

Aidan:

Aidan has started saying the most random things. One day, Dan was telling the boys that they needed to learn to "wipe" better, because they keep clogging our toilets. So, being silly, Dan started to do a little demo on Mason (with his clothes on, of course). Well, apparently Aidan thought it was pretty great because when Dan had finished explaining the process, Aidan said in the most excited voice, "Dad, that was AMAZING!"

A few weeks ago, Aidan got into trouble for something, and Dan was threatening to spank him. As quick as could be he said, "Just give me one more chance!!!". Dan and I laughed too hard to discipline him after that.

The other day, Aidan and I were leaving Sam's Club and when we got to the car, I had us both wash our hands with antibacterial. He asked me, "Mom, why we need this? Cuz us got germs?" I laughed and said, "Yes, we have germs on our hands from being in the store, and we don't want to get sick." Then he said, very happily, "Now us won't die!". Apparently I've scared them a little too much about the dangers of germs, eh?

Our first visit from the Tooth Fairy

Well, my cute Mason boy finally lost his first tooth last week. It's kind of a sad story, but I know it will just make us laugh really hard someday. His tooth had been really loose for a week or so, and his grown up tooth had already come in behind it, so we knew it would be coming out soon. Well, one day, he came walking in the door from the bus with his cute cousins, Shalyn and Logan with him. He was holding a bloody paper towel to his mouth and crying. Apparently, the mean girl in his class (he's told me about her several times before) punched him on the bus and knocked his tooth out. To make matters worse, his tooth was completely lost. That was the thing that he was really upset about, he was afraid that the tooth fairy wouldn't come because he didn't have a tooth to put under his pillow. I explained to him that the tooth fairy knows he lost a tooth, even if we couldn't find it, and that we would just leave her a note under his pillow explaining what had happened and that everything would be just fine. Luckily for us, it all worked out. Mason woke up to find this note from the tooth fairy, along with a crisp dollar bill. He was so happy!

Halloween-2009

Pay no attention to the fatty in the wheelchair! Dan was so cute to wheel me around all day while the kids did their trick or treating.

This was my favorite part of Halloween. My sister, Saesha and her husband dressed up like "Dog the Bounty Hunter" and his "wife". I would never have pictured Saesha in an outfit like this, but it was a HUGE hit. People stopped them every few feet to tell them how much they loved their costumes. It was hilarious. The best part about it is, this costume couldn't be more out of character for Saesha. She is the sweetest, cutest, most adorably amazing woman you could ever meet. It just made it that much funnier.

Look at my cute little nieces and nephews. I love Halloween most because of the fun we all have together!

HeeHaw Farms

Dan and I went with Ethan's Kindergarten class on their field trip to HeeHaw Farms. I was so happy to have Dan come with us, he always makes everything more fun!

Grass....

Who ever would have thought that something as simple as grass could make you so happy?
