Quote of the DAY...

So does everyone remember to Phrase ~ 'Talk to the HAND!' ~ ???

Well apparently there is a new phrase and I heard it from the mouth of my 7-year-old today.

Cade: "Talk to the Booty... 'cause the hands off duty."

Please help me...

Conversation of the Night...

Here we go again...A conversation I had with my oldest boy while we were trying to finish his Christmas break homework.

Setting: Kitchen Bar

Conversation Piece: His Book, 'Wiggle and Waggle' [a book about worms]

Me: "Cade, can you tell me something about the book we just read?"

Cade: "Mooooooom, just tell me what it was about and I will write a sentence."

Me: "That's not how this works sweetie. Let me ask you a few questions to help you. How about this one, how do worms breath?"

Cade: "They breath through their butts Mom."

Me: Falling off me chair and laughing silently while rolling around on the floor.

Cade: "What's wrong Mom?"

Me: "Their skin Baby...they breath through their skin."

Do I really have what it takes to be a Mother of Boys???

Quote of the DAY...

Another Quote of the Day from the very talented, and thoughtful Mojo Rowan...

Setting: My car on the way to the movie theatre to watch 'The Princess and the Frog'
Players: Mojo and Me

Mojo says, "Mama, the Princess is going to kiss the frog."

I say, "She sure does. And what happens to her then?"

~all quiteness and stillness coming from the back seat~

Mojo says, "She turns into a Frog!"

~pause~

Mojo ends with, "Then it's 'The Frog and the Frog."

Got that ladies??? He is going to be a comedian one day...I just know it!

Don't forget to kiss your Frog tonight...

Quote of the DAY...

Oh, This one is golden.

Setting: Back seat of my car
Cast: Morgan & Cade

Mumbling coming from the back seat, and then ~ a very loud voice rises up.

Morgan says, "Cut it out, Cade."

[silent pause]

Morgan says, "Mommy is not the one that gets sent to Mommy and Daddy's room."

[very pregnant pause this time]

Morgan says in a low voice, "We are the ones that are the troublemakers."

Mother's of Boys are rejoicing EVERYWHERE. I couldn't have said it better myself!

Oh wait! one more...

Cade says, "Mommy, your going to have to put that one on the blog."

[sigh] He is one smart kid...

Now, off to put my troublemakers to bed...

Quote of the DAY...

Scene: Bedtime
Players: Cade and Me
Location: Cade's Room

Cade: "Awwww... c'mon Mom. You never let me stay up and clean. I want to do chores!"

Me: "Cade, you have no idea what you are saying. Go to bed."

The lights begin to dim...The End.

More Mojo Moments...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking out the door for the zoo I hear a very recognizable sound come from Morgan.

Mom in a laughing and surprised voice: "Morgan, did you just toot?"
Morgan: "No Mommy. It was an explosion."

Oh My!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sitting together at my laptop we were looking up photos of Hammerhead sharks and Swordfish on the internet (Two of Morgan's favorite fish). Morgan grows quite and very still. He slowly reaches his little finger out an points to the 'question mark' key on the keyboard.

Morgan, in an awed voice: "Mommy. Push the mystery button."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enjoy your day!

Quote of the DAY...

Cade: "C'mon Morgan, let's go torture Mom some more."

hmmmmm, that doesn't sound right at ALL!

It's Ending on a Pink Note...

...Pink eye that is. Nothing like walking into Daycare to pick up my boys this afternoon and literally yell, "WHAT HAPPEN TO MY MORGAN!?!?!"

I didn't really yell, it was more like a heavy, loudly elevated sigh. I KNEW exactly what was wrong and I couldn't believe it!

My one night to pick up the boys and be with them all by myself...and I have to spend it at the Walk-in clinic, so that someone can tell me what I already know, so that I can get my hands on the eye drops, that are going to cause my baby to yell-kick-scream, and tell me he doesn't like me anymore...Wow- that sounds so FUN! And I get to do it 3 times a day for the next 7 days!

Now there was one fun thing about the whole dance. Well, it was fun once we got there. And I didn't once have to hold his legs and arms down with my body. The doctore dropped numbing solution in his eyes and then yellow dye. Morgan though this was COOL...

...And here is the Quote of the Day:

The Evil Sweet Doctor Lady: "So Morgan, does everything look yellow?"

Morgan: "Yes, I must have superhero vision."

The doctor proceeds to turn the light off and then look at his eye with a black light...this is all to verify he doesn't have an eye injury. She is nice enough to give him a mirror so he can see what it looks like.

The Sweet Doctor Lady: "Do you see your eye glowing?"

Morgan: "Woooow, I have laaaaaaaaaaser vision."

My little Pink Eyed Superhero. Just call him 'The Might Pink Mojo'.

Good Night.

Quickie Quote...

Okay...I have to get this one down quick before I forget.

Bob just walked in with the Boys from Day Care. I sat out some of the Easter decoration this afternoon and Mojo just spotted one of them. (It is a cheesy little 'Carrot Tree' that I found. It has chicks and rabbits hanging on it like ornaments.)

Here he goes...

Mojo, in a whisper: "What's that mommy?"

Me: "It's an Easter Decoration Morgan."

...he runs to the table, and starts mumbling to himself.

Mojo: " It is little chicks and rabbits...hanging from a carrot tree."

...he starts to turn the carrot tree in circles...making puttering noises...

Mojo: "It's a carrot-sel!!!"

This kid, he is too brilliant to be mine. He must be Bob's little boy.

Quote of the DAY...

Morgan has a swollen cheek, for some bizarre reason...

Mommy: "Morgan, what's wrong with your face?"

Morgan: "Nothing Mommy. It's just a scarf."

Ummmm. I think he meant 'scar', but at least he is up on the current fashions! I love how his little mind work!
