Not Getting in Trouble

Last night, I had the kids put pajamas on and I was in Cade's room when he asked me to go to sleep with him. Christian came in at the end of my telling him that I would lay down with him for a little bit. He walks in and says, "What did you say?" I said, "What?" and he says, "What did you say to Cade?" Now I'm amused. "Why?" I asked. He looks right at me very matter-of-factly and says, "You won't get in trouble if you just tell me." This is why I had kids...they are like my personal little comedians!!!

Squish My Butt

We went to thr grocery store on the way home tonight and I put the kids in a cart out in the parking lot. They were riding one on each side, so when we went up to the door, I'm always careful, because it's a tight fit. When I slowed down, Christian says, "Don't worry, Mom. I'll squish my butt." That's classic!

Gaming

Last night was game night, so Christian was playing Dora on the Leapfrog and Cade was playing Spongebob on the Game Cube. Cade tried to get Christian to help him get past a level, but Christian wasn't having any of that. He was getting mad every time Cade interupted his Spanish level. Yes, I said Spanish. He's learning the fruits in Spanish right now from Dora. (la fresa=strawberry, la manzana=apple, etc.) So, Cade asks me to come help him. I love video games, but I don't have much time to play them and usually the kids play the Game Cube together, so they aren't asking me. I've only played this game a time or two when I've helped them pass a level before. I went in there and go past the part that Cade said he couldn't do, but then I couldn't figure out how to climb the wall. Cade is sitting next to me saying, "Want me to do it, Mom?", but I didn't think he really played. The last time I had watched him (a few months ago), he just kinda walked around in the game. So I hollered for Christian. I admit, I asked my 6-year-old for help. LOL He comes in, takes the controller, walks up the wall in like 2 seconds, and said, "That's so easy, Mom." Then he went back to his Leapfrog. So then I give the controller to Cade, so that I can finish cleaning out the linen closet, and I see him start to play. I mean actually play. He was beating the levels! My 3-year-old was playing Game Cube and beating the levels! Am I the only one amazed by this?!

Christian's Plan

The other night, Christian asked if he could sleep with me and I told him that he could go to sleep in his own bed, and I'd turn him on a movie. He laid down, I turned the movie on, and when I checked on him before I went to bed, he was asleep. When I woke up in the morning, he was in my bed. I woke him up and the first thing he says is, "Rock On!". LOL Then I asked him why he was in my bed and he said, "I planned it that way. I waited til you went to sleep and then I came in." Little shit!

See My Finger?

The Bike

Travis put the kids into a contest a few weeks ago at Long John Silver's to win a bike. He got a call from the manager yesterday saying that Christian won a brand new 20" bike. Now, he won't be able to ride it yet, because it's a bigger bike, but he's really excited. So on the way to his dad's this morning, he asked me if I was picking him up tonight. I told him I was meeting him at Long John Silver's so that he could have his picture taken with his new bike. He went into Travis's and said, "Dad, it's the best day of my life today. I won a new bike AND I get to have my picture taken tonight! Isn't it the best day of my life?" What a comedian!

Finding Your Person

Christian has asked me about getting a wife after high school before, and I told him that you have to finish high school, go to college, and then get a wife. So last night, he's talking about college, and he says, "Is that where you find your person?" At first I thought I heard him wrong, so I said, "What?" He says, "You know, your person, Mom. The one you love and get to be your wife so you have have a baby." Mom and I decided last night that if you find your person in college, then at least she's well-educated too. :)
