War and Sweat

After a ginormous game of war, I heard Ryan say, "That game was fun!"
Luke ran after him yelling, "Yeah! But sweaty!"
Here's a pic of their "war costumes"...

Good Strategy

Luke came flying into my room earlier carrying a sword and yelling to whoever was chasing him, "You can't hit me! I'm near something breakable!"

Don't Want to Know Why

Luke: "It would be awesome to have a friend with a hatchet!"

Lyric Laughs

Ryan just started singing the Elton John song, "Don't let the sun go down in the East!" Close.

The Gospel According to Stoutboyz

I just overheard Luke yell, "Jesus! I am never giving you away!" while cleaning his closet out. I assume he had just found his Jesus action figure.
This reminded me of an oldie but goodie...
When Ryan was probably 3 years old, we misplaced the baby Jesus figurine from his nativity play set. After looking for days we gave up.
One night when friends were over, they got a good laugh as we heard Ryan from the back of the house yelling in his best evangelical voice, "I FOUND JESUS!"

Deep Thoughts by Lukie D

"You should never give coffee to a squirrel."

He Used to be One of My Favorite Kids

Watching OU lose a football game (aargh), Luke said, "Yep we are getting creamed."
I told him to zip it. He asked why and I said I was believing we were going to win.
He smiled and said, "Um maybe you should look at the score."

Sweet Ninja

Just to remind how how sweet he is, Luke has been sneaking up on me and giving me "sneak attack" kisses, hugs and back scratches. It's the BEST!

Sour Sixteen

Ryan was telling Don about kinds of cars that he wanted when he turned 16.  Don pointed to his truck and laughed and said, "You're looking at what you're getting when you're 16 if you're lucky!"
Andrew heard all of this and groaned, "Well great.  I must be getting the minivan..."

Love of Boxes?

Luke said he wanted to see the new movie "Boxtrolls."
I said I wasn't sure if I was interested. He replied, "I love trolls and I love boxes so why wouldn't it be good?"

French with a British Dialect

Luke told me he was going to speak French to me and said, "'ello govna!"

Close

A song by Elton John was on the radio and I asked the boys if they knew who was singing. Luke yelled out, "Elvis Johnson!"

Birthday Blow Out

We were out to dinner after Luke's birthday party and saw a Lamborghini parked in the lot. Don told him it's what we got him for his birthday.
Luke said, "If I got that, I would explode!"
Ryan quickly said, "I get it when he explodes!!"

Must Be His Imaginary Friend Then

I just told Ryan that he smelled slightly offensive.
His reply? "That's not me. I've been smelling it all day."

Lucky Number 35

Luke has an obsession with the OKC Thunder and especially Kevin Durant. No matter what is happening around him, he will be near a clock at anytime ending in :35 and yell out, "The time is Kevin Durant's number!"
Hope he gets it out of his system before school starts...

Money for Nothing

We were at Ryan's friend's house today helping with a couple of things while they are out of town. They were kind enough to leave $5 for Ryan. I told him that he needed to share part of the money with Andrew and Luke since we really didn't do much work and we stayed at their house swimming in their great pool all afternoon.
Of course, Ryan wasn't too thrilled about sharing so I reminded him that Andrew had helped him bring up the trash cans. So he was fine with that but said, "Well what did Luke do? Why do I have to share with him?"
Luke had been down at the pool and as he walked up, I said, "Just be nice and give $1 to Andrew and $1 to Luke."
Luke looked amazed and said, "Why? What did I do?"
Ryan's face was priceless and of course he starting yelling, "See!! He didn't do anything!"

Ice Ice Baby

Luke just came up to me and said, "Hey Mom! My catch phrase is 'Yo Vanilla, kick it one time, boyeeee!'"

Not His Home on the Range

After 2 days of being in Texas, Luke said, "Yeahhh, I don't really like Texas songs."

Future in eBay?

Luke told me he wanted a trampoline and I told him no way. So he suggested he'd ask Santa for it. I told him I would tell Santa he wasn't allowed to have one. So he said, "OK I will put it online for $20." I asked him what exactly he meant by that and he groaned, "I don't even know."

At Least I Think It's Real

I asked Andrew to very carefully take my diamond earrings in the house today when I realized I was still wearing them as I was about to mow.

He held them up and said, "Wow!  I've never seen a real diamond!"

I said, "You goose - you've seen my wedding ring and it's real diamonds."

He looked shocked and replied, "I didn't know that was real diamonds.  I didn't think Dad would buy you a real diamond!"
