Today, Andrew had a bag of Skittles. (Again - don't judge my food choices - he had earned a prize).
As he wolfed them down, I heard him tell Ryan, "These taste just like what I think it would taste like if I could eat the air in Nana's house!"
Nana, are you hiding skittles over there??

Hairy Requests
Luke has watched a couple of movies over and over lately. The first is Quest for Camelot. The main character, Kaylee, has a ponytail that she wears low on her neck. Luke started in a few days ago for me to wear my hair like that.
"You wear Kaylee hair! You wear Kaylee hair! Put ponytail down!" (My ponytails tend to be high on my head).
I had pretty much ignored him but today he asked me particularly sweetly so I did it.
Not an hour later, he started watching his other favorite at the moment - Tangled.
I should have seen it coming when he starting insisting that I wear my hair like this main character. Rapunzel!
Thankfully I have no way of growing hair that long so I really can ignore this one!!

Bok Meow!
The other day, I was talking about the Cadbury Egg commercials where the other animals are auditioning to be the Cadbury bunny. I told the boys that my favorite part was the kitty that says, "Bok Meow! Bok Meow!"
Luke and Ryan laughed and Andrew kept saying, "I don't get it."
I started in about how the kitty was trying to say "Bok Bok" but since he was a kitty, was getting confused and throwing some "Meows" in there.
He kept looking confused and finally said, "Yeah, but why would a bunny saw 'Bok Bok'?"
Uh, yeah. Actually now I am confused too. Why do the animals all say that??

Nap News
This one is a "you had to be there" one to be really funny. But I was there. So I want to record it to always remember!!
Luke took a really long nap at school today - 2 hours. When I went to pick him up, there was the usual chaos in the room and he was laying in the middle of the floor completely passed out. Took me a couple of minutes to get him to wake up.
So of course, a couple of other kids were huddled around him "helping" me.
One of them said loudly, "Jack not waking up!"
Luke opened one eye, pointed towards himself and growled, "This not Jack."

Ye Olde Number Two
Luke had a successful bathroom trip today!!! (Yes, I am very excited!)
Even more exciting is that it was in a public restroom. It had to be done eventually so glad we got it out of the way early on!
He was so thrilled with himself that he ran out into the hallway yelling, "I GO POOOOOPY!! I GO POOOOPY!!!"
Only problem with this is that we happened to be at UCO in the library. Many kind college students told him good job and I heard lots and lots of snickering.

We Dine There Often
Andrew came in last night telling me a story about an earthquake and tidal wave in Chile. It was quite a long story and I had to sit through it without laughing which was difficult.
The reason for the laughter was at the beginning of the story he said, "Did you hear about the earthquake in Chile? The country - not the restaurant!"

I Guess We Need to Hire a Clown
We are trying to limit tv time for the boys. They are crazy addicted!
No way we are even going to consider giving it up (Don and I are addicted also!), but we are at least making them keep it off for the hour before bed. Should help them sleep better.
Andrew is the only one who is completely lost without it.
In his words, "What will entertain me?!?"

My Next Career
Luke asked me today, "What are you going to be when you grow up big as Daddy?"
I said I didn't know so he hollered, "You be a power ranger!!!"

April Fools
Ryan really embraced April Fool's Day this year although he didn't really get it.
I was on the treadmill when Ryan & Andrew woke up and for at least half an hour, I saw them peeking into my room and giggling.
When I finally came down the hall, Andrew pointed a wand at me and yelled "Expelliarmus!" Ryan then jumped out from behind the chair and threw a plastic Easter egg at me that had been filled with lego heads. Of course, it broke open and they scattered everywhere. I acted sufficiently surprised I think.
Then there was a fake scorpion on the bar. I pretended to be terrified and screamed.
The only one that was actually a good prank was when Ryan removed the toothpaste from Andrew's dispenser and Andrew tried for 5 minutes to get toothpaste to come out.
I think we would have had even more of these but thankfully Ryan spent the night with a friend!

Ouch!
At the Medieval Fair today, Luke got a lot of chuckles while watching the knights fighting. After each blow, he would yell, "That's gotta hurted in the morning!"
