Days of the week...

While taking two of my kids, (Heidi and Thomas) to their summer reading camp class the other morning, Ethan was along for the ride and asked, " Is it Tuesday?" 

I said, "Yes! You are right!"

And then Thomas asked, " Is tomorrow Friday?"

I said, "No! We just had Friday a few days ago.  We still have the rest of Tuesday, Wednesday and then Thursday before we get to Friday."

He then said, " So we'll have Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and skip Friday?"  (He said this with the hugest smile on his face)

Which Man?

Mom said to Thomas, " I sure love my little man. "
Thomas said, " Ethan's your little man!"
Mom said, "Then who are you?"
Thomas said, " Your big man!"
 Mom said, "Then what's daddy?"
Thomas said, "Your GIANT man!"

Overheard...

Random things I've overheard my kids say:

While in the dollar store this evening Ethan was picking out a treat.  He said to Thomas, " I'll share with everyone, except you."

Then a little later Thomas said this to Chris, " Dad, can I have all the pennies you get back?"  .....
After Chris paid for the stuff, he got back his change.  He split up the pennies and handed Thomas two, and then gave Ethan one.    Thomas held his hand open right by Ethan and said, "Here, Ethan, give it to me. Because I'm older"       (What a little weasel)

Fishing ....

While getting ready to go fishing with his Dad, I noticed Thomas was wearing his swim trunks on a morning that was a bit chilly.  I asked him why he had them on, and he said, " In case I fall in!"  

Colored Eyes

The other morning Heidi woke up with some gunk in her eyes and they were kind of sealed shut.  Fearing that it was pink eye I kept her home.  Thomas overheard me talking with one of the kids when I was saying that she might be getting pink eye.  He piped in with, " Don't you mean a black eye?" 

Just recently Heidi did have a black eye, it was big, puffy and bruised so Thomas didn't know anything but a black eye.  

Did you know... ?

While watching a newscast and hearing about flooding in California, one of the kids asks "Where?"  and Thomas replies with "Probably on the grass." 

(So the child who asked where actually meant Where in California)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And later while tucking in Ethan for bedtime,  I put both my hands on his face and looked into his eyes, and this was the conversation that was had:

Mom  :  Do you know you're cute?
Ethan:  No I'm not cute,  I'm a big boy.
Mom:  Well you are a cute big boy.
Ethan:  No I'm a Handsome big boy.

What?

The other night while we were eating dinner Thomas said this, "Hey we did that last night, a long time ago" He remembered we had done something, but I'm not sure he has the right vocabulary to get his idea and thoughts across.

I'm ... (whoever)

My kids were watching CASPER, and they have this practice of calling out who they are. Meaning they call out the characters and say "I'm ..... (whoever it is). So as the kids start doing this ... all the sudden Thomas calls out... "I wanna be STINKY!" ( one of the ghosts name is Stinky). I couldn't keep from laughing. This boy cracks me up ALL the time.

Fishing...

Chris said that he'd take the kids fishing tomorrow (Wednesday June 10) to Footprinter's Pond. Which is only about 5 minutes from our house. Thomas spoke up, " Can we go to the Mississippi, PLEASE!!!" Which is easily a day and half's drive for us.

Too Fast...

Chris usually sings to the boys at night, and once in awhile they sing in our room while laying on our bed. This was the conversation that took place tonight: Kaylee: Thomas, do you want to go in Mom and Dad's room to sing songs tonight? Thomas: No Kaylee!! I don't want to go in there. Kaylee: Why? Thomas: Because I fall asleep to fast in there. Singing in my room is what they did last night, and within 15 minutes they were both asleep. That's fast for them. Well, more for Ethan. But still I like it that way.

Tippie Dozens

Just the other day I overheard Thomas say this about Heidi who was walking on her "tippie toes". Thomas said, " Look she's on her tippy tips! " he was apparently way excited about it. __________________________________________________________________ Then earlier tonight while I was boiling eggs for dying (because Easter is tomorrow and I forgot about this until yesterday) Katherine was asking me how many eggs I boiled. So I told her 3 dozen and then she rattled off.... that's 36. "You know Mom, now that I know my 12's (times tables) I know my dozens." ___________________________________________________________________

Crazy silly kids

The other night this was said, Katherine: "Dishes are .... a privilege. And I don't think I've earned it yet." Different day this was said, Katherine, " Here Thomas let me help you." Thomas, " Why will I make a mess?" A little later ..... Mommy, " Go ahead, Thomas you can do it." Thomas, " No, I might MAKE a mess."

6 years.

The other night T-man kept saying that he hurt. Well once I realized where (his private) I asked how long it had been hurting like this. And as quiet and confident as he could say -- mind you he is only 3 1/2 he said, "6 years" . DH and I just laughed for a little while because it was so stinking funny to us.

Nursery Fun!!

Thomas is just so stinking funny!! I was the Nursery Teacher at church yesturday and the kids were about to do singing time, and when they do this they are sitting on little rugs that are rectangle shape. So Thomas sat on just so -- so that he could bend the edges up around him. He shouted out "Look MOM!! I'm a HOT DOG!" I couldn't stop laughing !!

Popped up

Thomas just cracks me up: This morning, I was taking my kids to school and he noticed that the sun hadn't quite risen above the mountains yet and said, " Mom, the sunset's gonna pop up." and then once he could see it he said, " the sunset popped up!" Then last night at my inlaws he said this when I had him wash his hands, " Mom, what kind of soap is this? Laundry soap?" after I laughed, then he said, " bathroom soap?" This boy just never seems to quit on making me laugh. I love it!!

Dead Meat...

While picking up my kids from a Primary activity today Katherine was stalling and not coming right away. I said (mostly to myself) but Thomas heard me say, " Katherine is dead meat!" and he came back with, " Yeah, she's dead meat, so we can eat her, right Mom?" Plus the other night for FHE we were singing I love to see the temple and there is the line that says , " A place of love and beauty" only Thomas was happily singing very noticeably and said, " a place of sleeping beauty" -- we all started laughing but tried not to make him feel bad.

Some Recent Funny Stuff !!!

****CAUTION :: Reference made to male anatomy -- so read on only if you're comfortable. **** Thomas who is 3 1/2 and is working on going to the bathroom (hopefully by himself REAL SOON!!) discovered that Heidi looked different then he did. Now all he can say is "Heidi has a different penis" And referring still to that region of the body: The other night I was giving the boys a bath and Thomas saw that Ethan was a boy just like him, and when I took Ethan out of the bathtub, he was facing towards where Thomas was at wrapped in a towel waiting to go get dressed and then he said screaming, " AWW Ethan has a PENIS!!" and Thomas proceeded to look down and said, "Mom, I've got a BIG penis"

Talk to you later.

I was tucking Thomas into bed last night and was kind of talking with him, and at the end I covered him up and said, " I'll talk to you later" and Thomas looked at me funny and said, in a whisper voice while snickering, " Mom, you said ' talk to you later' " And then he just died laughing. Because I guess I don't normally say that to him at bedtime. So because he thought it was so funny and laughed so hard, I started laughing at him because of him laughing. I guess it's one of those Mother-Son moments that you have to be there to appreciate.

Wrong Feet

We were headed to my inlaws on Father's Day and Thomas has been putting his own shoes on. He happened to put them on the wrong feet. I noticed and said, " Thomas, you have your shoes on the wrong feet!" So he crossed his feet and said, " Now they aren't!"

Laugh Fest ---

Okay so I've actually be writing down the funny things that the kids have said over the last few days and here a few more: Just this morning: Heidi had used the bathroom, and apparently didn't wipe or rather make sure she didn't have any pee left on her and slid off from the seat and left "pee wet marks" on the seat. So Thomas was going to use the bathroom next and said," Heidi, you have to point your penis down in the toilet, not up by the seat." I about died laughing. Because in the past few days he's had problems with getting the urine on the seat because he isn't pointing himself down into the toilet. I then told him that " the girls don't have a penis." He laughed and said, "Yes, they do have penises." " No, son. They're different" Then last night: I was opening a birthday card and Heidi was watching me -- there was something inside and she said with such excitment, " MOM!! You got a BLUE DOLLAR!!" ( It was a check) She also said this about our dinner last night: "Mom, I don't like the crust, when it's hard a crusty!!" And no, I didn't burn the crust!! We had homemade pizza. April 19th, 2008 I was grabbing a container of Gerber applesauce for Ethan and Thomas said, " I'm not a BABY! I can have REAL applesauce" April 20th, 2008 "I'm Ready! But I just need to get dressed." April 23, 2008, Thomas: "Mommy, I have a crack!" Pointing to a hole in the knee of his pants. April 24th, 2008 Kaylee was already dressed for school and Thomas piped in with, "No Kaylee you're not SLOW, you're TOO SLOW!"
