Don't you have two pouches?

We are playing in the floor with the boys when Cody announces, "I fell and hurt my pouch." What are you talking about we all say....He points to his left butt cheek. TOO FUNNY!!!

Butt Cheek=Pouch

Didn't you know that was what it was called?

Don't mess up my hair!

Zachary is all into his hair, at the rightful age of 3! If you touch his hair he will quickly tell you, "Don't mess up my hair!" He wakes up in the morning and goes to the bathroom to slick his hair down. So he is appearantly into his hair and the fact that it should be well fixed.

So tonight we were sitting down at Nana and Pa's eating and Zachary looks up out of no where and says, "Pa, your hair looks good." Pa says thank you and then Zachary looks at Nana and says, "Nana, not yours." For those of you who don't know my mom she has one of those short spikey hair do's. We laughed so hard!! It was too cute Zachary trying to explain to Nana why her hair didn't look good.

Kids.....they say the darndest things!

Potty Fascination

This morning I was helping Zachary in the bathroom when he flushed the toilet and said, "Mommy look there's a car wash in the toilet." Yes we have flapping algea again! I haven't felt like cleaning lately. I promise I will clean this dirty house when I get to feeling better!! But no guest please! :)

WHAT??

So we are driving down the road yesterday and Zachary says, "Mommy put my window down, hurry!" So I think he's hot in his many layers and I put the window down. I see him stick his hand out the window like he just threw something out. So I think ok here we go with the "We don't litter speech."

"Zachary what did you throw out the window?" I said

"Mommy I had to throw out my buger, it was stuck on my hand."

I said no more.....just laughed! Wonder where he learned that one?

Fire Station Visit

Today we stopped by for a visit with Daddy since he was on his second 24 hour shift. We were out in the bay with a very inquisitive 3 year old asking Daddy how the ladder truck worked. As hard as it was Daddy tried to explain in simple terms how the truck anchored itself and stayed off the ground and how in order to have power the truck, "had to be running." In his most innocent voice Zachary said, "Daddy (in the tone of duh?), this fire truck can't run it drives!"

Cody's First Basketball Game

Today was Cody's first basketball game. He was doing great! Blocking players with hands in the air (rather they were on his team or the other), dribbling, trying to shoot the ball....and then it happened. He was running back to the goal and he caught a glimpse of something he had never seen before CHEERLEADERS! Well he was so enthralled that his world stopped right then and there. The game continued without one player as he stood in AWE of the girls on stage. The coach finally caught a glimpse of him and ran over to remind him he was suppose to be playing basketball at the other end of the court!

The Joys of Kindergarten

Well today at school must have been a rough day for Cody (and the teacher). I got an email from her saying...Just to give you a report, Cody has been a handful today. Pretty much the same, talkative, wanting to play and talking/playing while I am talking. Just to let you know too, he has ripped his mat to where the stuffing is falling out. I told him that I did not think you would appreciate that. So needless to say we are so very proud of our precious darling!

So after much discussion and lecturing about RESPECT for the teacher and things we buy with our money our evening went on like normal.

At bedtime during our prayer time Cody prayed..."God please make Mrs. Earnest stop sending sad emails to Mommy." It was all I could do to make it out of the room before busting out laughing!!!

Christmas Day

Well...the cutest things happened this Christmas Morning with Zachary.

Zachary was scared to death last night that Santa was actually coming into our house. This morning he kept going to our bedroom window and looking out saying....."I not see him." Then he would go back and say, "He's not here yet." Then it dawned on us that he thought Santa hadn't come yet and that he was anxiously awaiting Santa's arrival. This was the first disappointment for Zachary.

When we got into the living room and Zachary saw Jesus had been born in our manger. He started to get upset. He asked us, "Where is Baby Jesus?" I want to see him. So I showed him the baby I had wrapped in swaddling clothes. No, Mommy he kept saying. We had talked so much about Baby Jesus being born on Christmas Day the he thought Baby Jesus was going to be in our living room on Christmas Day. Bless his sweet little heart!

Three years old is such a fun age. They see everything so literally.

Random Thoughts.......

We were coming home from Max's Birthday Party today and a huge piece of silver wrapping paper was flying down from the sky. It looked like a miniture UFO to me, so we are all staring at it and watching to see where it would land when.........Cody said, "Mom it came down from the sky like God threw it down here. I bet he just finished lunch and was throwing out his trash." So cute and innocent.....nevermind that it was also halarious!!!
