"We May Not Have It All Together But Together We Have It All"

Miles: How many times do we have to die until we are really dead forever?
Mom: Just once, when we die the first time we are really dead.
Miles: When are we going to die?
Mom: Hopefully when we are really old.
Miles: But Dad is old.

The other day Evan came home from school with a new book from the library, Diary of a Wimpy Kid. He was sing some song about farts and saying that the book says I hate you grandma in it. I sat down on the couch with it after dinner and Evan came and sat next to me. I asked him if the book was appropriate to read and he said with a sheepish look "No, but I thought you would just ignore it". I am in for some trouble. I do love his honesty which I know won't last long.

This mornings breakfast: Green pancakes & eggs. The first words out of Evan's mouth, "Yuck". Then he said, "You're right mom it does taste the same". How many times do we need to tell everyone! Mom is always right!! :)

Lucas new saying: "Wanna fight" while hitting someone with something

This is for my hubby! (pg 53)

On Saturday Ryan came home from youth basketball and stole us away from our chores to take us out into the sunshine. Dick's for lunch and then the Ballard Locks. We were grateful that we weren't stuck inside doing chores! The boys had a lot of fun running and rolling down the hills. Lucas even tried rolling down too but didn't get to far. We also went to Discovery park for a little more fun!

Last night was breakfast for dinner, my fav (but not so much Ryan's) Coffee cake and eggs. I turned on the oven to preheat it and after awhile started smelling something funky. I couldn't figure out what it was until I opened the oven and saw this.....I turned to the boys and said - who didn't eat their dinner last night, of course no response. Ryan figured out that it must have been Miles (I didn't eat with them that night since I was going out to dinner with some friends) so we called him over. We asked him why he put it in the oven. With a stomp of his foot (he always does that when he is mad or frustrated) he said; "because I didn't want to eat my dinner". He took one look and learned that 1)you should never hide your dinner plate of non eaten food in the oven because mom will still find it and 2)that Ikea plates are not oven proof!! When asked if he was ever going to do that again he shamefully put his head down and shook it no.

My life with boys...

The other night we went to exchange a shirt for Ryan at the Calvin Klein store. Miles being the 4 year old that he is pointed to the back wall and started laughing and saying really loud over and over again "be boos, be boos" while Evan was telling him to be quite because people could hear him. Evan apparently knew what he was talking about, it took Ryan and I a bit to figure it out. He was pointing to the bras and had gotten it a little backwards.
