The Donut Method

This is how Luke eats a donut. Always around the edge. I think he thinks the inside part is "the crust."

The Elephant in the Room

At the doctor's office today, we were in the jungle room. The boys were doing a good job of entertaining each other by playing a game where one would ask the others to find the monkey, frog, lizard... There are a lot of small animals and such hidden all over the room. There is also a huge mural the size of the wall of an elephant. Luke kept asking them if they could find the elephant. Surprising him each time, they did find it.
And then he would shout his favorite phrase to say over the past few days, "Oh Man!!!"

Some Things Never Change

Today, Andrew and I went to see a Berenstain Bears play for a school field trip. Andrew was telling Ryan about it on the way home. Here is their conversation:
A: The play was so funny! You know how Papa Bear is kind of fat?
R: Oh yeah!
A: Well, he was dancing and bended over and his pants ripped on his bottom!
R: Oh my gosh!!
A: Yeah, and guess what? You could see his polka-dot underwear! He had to take his pants off and you could see all of his underwear!
R: Why is it always polka-dot? Was it red polka-dot?
A: Yes!
R: Always.

Prunes Don't have Germs

Luke joined the puking club last night.... in church... all over me and Don and the floor. Nice.
Anyway, I was getting him dressed after hosing him off and tried to prepare him that he wasn't going to get to go to school today. He of course argued and said, "Yes me is."
I told him that he had germs on him and he didn't want to share those with his friends.
He showed me his hands and said, "No me don't! I not got germs on here! I got prune fingers!"

How Do I Look?

The recent incident with Andrew reminded me of something that happened a while back.
We were at dinner and I noticed that Andrew had turned a sickly shade of green. I asked, "Andrew, are you feeling okay?"
He shook his head so Don took him to the restroom where things got ugly. Thank heavens he's too old to go in the girls' room with me!
So from that day forward, he often asks, "Do I look like I'm going to be sick?"
And it doesn't just happen when he's sick. It's quite random!

Not for the Squeamish

I was on the computer this morning when Andrew woke up and came in to talk to me. I looked up and saw him standing there covered in vomit! Literally, hair to toe.
Before I could say anything, he said very casually, "Mommy? I noticed my room doesn't smell very good and there's some sort of stuff on my pillow and bed."
Holy cow kid!!! I got him in the shower and went to his room and it looked like a scene from the exorcist. How on earth did he not know he threw up? And Ryan didn't hear him either!
And not to be even more gross, but from the looks of things, it had happened early in the night and been slept on for a while.
Talk about a deep sleeper.

Yippee!! Oh no!!!!

Told the boys last night that we are going to Disney World in May to celebrate my birthday. Much screaming and excitement. That is, until someone asked if we are driving or flying. When Andrew heard me say we were taking a plane, he did a complete turnaround and said no and began to cry!
We've got a few months to talk him into it - any help is much appreciated!! :)

Monster Band

The boys were thankfully playing nicely with each other yesterday and decided to start a band. Andrew and Luke found "monster" masks and put them on and Monster Band was formed.



The best part was after the song (which consisted of the same lyrics over and over - Monster Band), Ryan said, "Man, that was a great song. We should go write that down."

If you want to check out their first music video on youtube, click here.


Pillow Pics

During the Christmas season, the boys did a good deed each day. One of the ones they most enjoyed was to color a picture and put it on someone's pillow for a bedtime surprise.
Today, Luke found a picture on the desk that Andrew had drawn. He brought it to me and said, "I put this on a pillow to be nice?" I said sure and he ran off.
I noticed later that he had put it on his own pillow!

Snow Bears

Luke noticed it was snowing today and said, "I go outside. Sammy and Harry not go outside. Only boys and bears go outside in snow."

Disney Magic

I gave Luke a package of his drug of choice - fruit snacks. He looked at them and asked what they were. I told him they were an assortment of Disney characters.
He squealed and yelled, "They from Disney World! How they get to my house!!"
And no, I promise I really haven't been talking up my intense desire to go back to Disney World this summer!! :)

Theeeey're Greeeat!

Just put Luke down for a nap and told him when he woke up, Nana would be here. He said, "Yeah and then you and Daddy go at movie. What you go see?"
I told him I didn't know yet.
He grimaced and said, "I think you go at that tiger eating movie."
