All the Funny Little Bits

 

I got to realizing the other day that there have been so many funny little bits of my life that I had posted on to Facebook, but that I hadn't saved them here on this blog, which is supposed to be my family's journal.  So this morning I went through and found all those little bits that I don't want to lose and here they are . . .

Me: "For the second time Austin, dinner is ready!"
. . . no response . . .
Me: "Do I have to come in there and take your (pause) book away?"
(pause because normally it would be his gameboy I would have to take away)Austin: "Haha, mom, you would never do that!"
Sigh . . . how well this child knows me. I love that he is finally loving to read!

Danny - "I didn't leave the water on mommy. It was somebody else, or a wolf.

aaaaahhhh! Austin was supposed to be brushing his teeth but was cutting his hair instead! This is the first time he has pulled this particular stunt. Luckily it can be easily fixed (or if not then we will just buzz cut it). Sweet boy, he told me he was just trying to help because I mentioned after the bath tonight that it was time to cut his hair :)

I got the most amazing compliment yesterday from the sweet lady who drove the courtesy shuttle for the shop fixing my car. She said she thought I was a teacher because of the way she heard me talking to Danny. It totally made my day!

Danny asked me this morning, "Mommy, will you help me eat my cereal? It is being rude to me!"

Danny slept in this morning! But he was still awake early enough to see the sunrise and said, "Oh, Mommy, see the pretty rainbow!"

Sept 27, 2010

learned the hard way that Danny can lock the storage shed door. I only had to yell at him for about 5 min through the door to get him to open it up again!

Austin just asked me if carrots have juice because he thinks that's what x-ray glasses are made of!

June 14, 2010

overheard this morning, from Austin to Danny, "Oh great, now look what you've done! Mom will find out, she always does."

May 25, 2010

when Austin realized it was my birthday this morning he got very excited and told me he was going to make me a present. I told him that he didn't need to, and the best gift would be for to be a good listener and helper today. His reply? "No that's okay, I think I'll just make you something"!

May 19, 2010

when Danny says "fruit roll up" it sounds just like "throw up". I'm glad I finally figured out the mystery of why he kept telling me he wanted to throw up all day yesterday!

"Here mommy, this is for you cuz I love you" Austin says as he hands me a lollipop that he had started licking but then he had to put it away so he put the wrapper back on it and put it back in his pocket a week ago!

"It's not a door mommy, it's a portcullis." I guess I was just supposed to know that he had transformed the bunkbeds into a castle. My mommy mojo must be off this morning!

Dec 12, 2009

Austin wants to know why some girls put pickles on their eyes! He was also worried that the car was going to lose contraction on all this rain! He makes me laugh!

Dec 6, 2009

Austin was jumping on the top bunk of the bunk beds, hit his head on the ceiling and got mad at the ceiling! It was hilarious!

Nov 23, 2009

Austin told me today that fireworks don't fall to the ground, they turn into stars. I'll believe it!
