We Don't Need Another Pet Anyway

Luke asked if he could have a unicorn. I told him that unicorns aren't real. Ryan said, "Yes they are. But they are just horses with a really bad problem."

Mostly Honest

Lately when I ask Luke to do something like wash his hands or use the restroom, he will answer with, "I mostly just did, Mom."

The best is how he says mostly - most-uulll-eee.

Wedding Woes

We were discussing weddings the other night and I told the boys how happy I made Don when I told him that I didn't want a big reception with dancing when we got married.  

Ryan said he didn't want that either - he just wants an 8 layer cake and xBoxes for everyone to play.

Andrew overheard this and said that Ryan was never going to "get a wedding."

When I asked why not he replied, "Cause he isn't that attractive!"

Pre Atari

Luke picked out a Curious George book from the library today.  He was looking through it when he told me, "Hey.  My book doesn't have very good graphics."

Yeah, yeah, he sees too many video games.  But to his credit, the book is old and the pictures aren't very sharp.

And much more to my dismay, George is a smoker!!  Luke made me proud by also telling me that monkeys shouldn't smoke...

Here is the pic from the book:

At Least He's not a Biter

Here is Luke's routine lately when he gets into bed at night...

Step 1 - crawl down the hall with me yelling hurry up!

Step 2 - climb into bed and pick up Rapunzel (the stuffed puppy formerly known as Woof-woof) with his teeth.

Step 3 - crawl in circles around his bed (still holding Rapunzel in his mouth) until he has it all mashed down the way he wants and finally lays down.

It's so nice having another dog around the house!

It's a Love Song

Don was listening to a song in the truck that contains the lyrics "by no means impervious." Luke asked what it was called and Don told him he thought it was called By No Means. Luke replied, "No. It's called Curvy Chest."

I'd Grab a Spoon

One morning this week, it was quite cold.  The boys went out to play for a few minutes before school and Luke came running back in.  He yelled at me as he ran by, "I gotta get my gloves.  There is frosting everywhere out there!"
