How you look...

Ethan, " Let me see that Dad" as he is reaching to grab a small stuffed animal.

Seth, "You look with your eyes not with your hands."

Ethan, "Then why are you holding it?"

BUT MOM...!!!

So I took the kids to McDonalds, so they could play in the indoor playground. they like to run around and it is a cheap way to get out of the house and for them to expend some of their pent up energy. So it was pretty crowded, and a guy with his daughter sat next to us. Ethan looked at the man and proceeded to say. " Mom, that guys tooth is falling out!" Ugh... So I try to shush him, and he gets pissed and says. "MOM, YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME!!!!" The guys tooth is falling out, I saw him touching it!" Somehow I managed to get him away from the table and tried to tell him that we don't talk about other people like that because it could hurt their feelings... but he was just matter of fact about it and insisted the guys tooth was falling out... needless to say, we didn't stay too much longer after that.

Valentine's Day

So I have been trying to teach Ethan about Valentines Day this week. We bought a couple of crafts to do during the week. So he made these little valentines and decided he wanted to take one to his ice skating instructor Ms. Lynn. So he was proudly carrying around his valentine, and we get in the car and the radio was playing as I was buckling him up.Then all of a sudden out of nowhere comes a big attitude from the back seat. " MOM!!!! I don't have any flowers! I just heard you need to have flowers for Valentines day!!!" I tried to explain that he didn't need flowers for his instructor but, " BUT MOM I HEARD IT!! WE NEED FLOWERS!!!" I told him that he just needs to make sure to tell Daddy about the flowers, but Ms. Lynn will be happy with her pretty heart.....

Um... it was adorable watching him go up to her with the Valentine and telling her Happy Valentines day.... she was surprised and he was kinda giddy about it.

Justin Who???

Ethan, " Mom, I think I hear Justin Beaver"

and

" Mom, is this Josh Grogan?"

and Mady wants to read "No Wipe and da seven dwarfs"

Love and Marriage

Ethan, "Mom, when I get bigger, I'm not going to get married, I'm just going to have babies"

Potty training

Mady, my two year old daughter, jumped off the potty this morning and ran to Ethan and said, "I'm gonna pee on you Ethan!"

The title says it all....

Sometimes my kids say the craziest things and I have always wanted to write them down so other people could have a laugh at my expense, so I decided this was the perfect forum to do that and also keep a record of it for myself. I think about all the ammunition I am going to need when my little ones become teenagers... so between naked pictures of them and documenting all the crazy things they say, I should have a good stockpile to pull from if they ever bring a potential boyfriend or girlfriend home!

I can start with what Ethan said this morning. Ethan is my crazy four year old son. I was dropping Evan, my 7 year old step-son, off at school this morning, when Ethan was looking around at all the snow that covered virtually everything at the playground. So he thinks about the snow for a minute and says, 'Mom, if there was a really big fire, it would get rid of all the snow, would that be a good idea? The fire would melt all the snow! That would be a good idea!" I tried to explain to him that while it would be good to get all the snow to melt, we cant set fires because they are really dangerous and could really hurt someone. He wasn't hearing any of it, he just wants to get rid of the snow. He also said that he could see the snow in the clouds that was going to fall later today.... He has special powers that allow him to see things. He thinks that it is along the same lines as the mommy vision that I have, which he calls my special powers, in which I can see all the bad things that he is doing to his sister!
