Update to 15 Days

Christian and Cade met Rhys last night and they were super polite. Christian didn't even ask him if we were getting married or having a baby. He did tell him that I probably didn't care if he wanted to stay the night. How embarassing!!!

15 Days

We went home from Mom and Dad's on Sunday evening after dinner and I put the boys in the shower. When Christian gets out, he walks into the living room and says, "Who's Rhys?" I ask him where he heard the name and he says "I don't know." I ask him if it was at Grandma and Grandpa's house, because I'm totally deflecting.

Cade: "Yeah, at grandma grandpa's house."
Christian: "Is he your boyfriend?"
Me: "Well, he's a boy, and he's my friend, so I guess he's my boyfriend, yeah."
Christian: "Are you going to marry him in 15 days and have a baby in your belly?"
Cade: "A baby in your belly?" (in that little boy sing song voice lol)
Me: HELL NO!!! (Just a thought--no babies for me)
Me: (out loud) "No, Mommy's not going to have any more babies in her belly and I'm not getting married quite yet either."

Cade walks away at this point, clearly uninterested in anything I have to say unless it includes a baby.

Christian: "Can I throw the flowers at your marriage?"
Me: "You mean at the wedding? The flower girl throws the flowers, but maybe you can carry the rings one day."
Christian: "Is it diamonds?"
Me: "Yes, it'll be diamond."
Christian: "Is it big?"
Me: "Yes, sometimes they're big."
Christian: "Is it pretty?"
Me: "Diamonds are always pretty."
Christian: "Can we have it in 15 days?"
Me: "Not quite 15 days, but maybe one day."
Christian: "Can I talk to him?"
Me: "Rhys? Maybe you'll meet him one day..."
Christian: "In 15 days?"
Me: "In 15 days, you'll be back to your dad's."
Christian: "When then?"
Me: "We'll see. Maybe soon."
Christian: "He has to have boys."
Me: "No, he has a girl."
Christian: "Who is she?"
Me: "Her name is Breanna."
Christian: "How many is she?"
Me: "11."
Christian: "Wow, she's really old."
Me: "She's the same age as Casey." (neighbor girl at their dad's)
Christian: "Can she come play in 15 days?"
Me: "Maybe not in 15 days, but would it be ok if Rhys and Bre came over one night and had dinner with us?"
Christian: "Umm....(rubbing his chin lol) I think so. Yeah, he can come over in 15 days. Then you can get married."

REALLY not sure where the 15 days thing came from, but absolutely HILARIOUS!! And really, my dad's been trying to marry me off for the last 2 years, and now my 6-year-old is following suit! Craziness, I say!

College

On the way home tonight, Christian told Cade he "couldn't do that until college". I don't know what he was referring to, but then the conversation went like this:

Cade: "I'm not going to college!"
Christian: "But that's where you get a wife."
Cade: "Wife?"
Christian: It's where ALL the beautiful girls are." (He says this so matter-of-fact, as though he's experienced it first-hand.)
Me: "So why did I go to college?"
Christian: "For a handsome husband, I think."

Clearly, that's the ONLY reason I went to college was to get hitched. :)

Tornadoes

When we had the storms on Tuesday night, my house only had half power. It was super weird, but I had no outlets, no washer, no A/C, no stove (yet I had the stove clock LOL), but I had ceiling lights, refrigerator, water heater, and dryer (though I couldn't wash anything to dry anyway LOL). I found one outlet in the dining room that worked and proceeded to attempt to blow it by hooking up my modem, router, laptop and a cell phone. I thought this was an issue within the house at first, so I called Travis to ask him about it. Christian gets on the phone and says, "Mommy, you have to be so careful today! There's tornadoes everywhere and if one catches you, it'll take you up to God and then you can never come back! Don't let it catch you, Mom!" I have no idea where he saw this, but it was too funny!

Update: Wednesday night, I got home around 9:45PM and had NO power. Apparently, IPL sent an underground crew to fix the aboveground transformer and they must've had a confrontation. Unfortunately for me, the transformer won and I'm without power. :( Hopefully, it will be back on when I get home tonight.
