So many books, so little time.

This is how I found Owen when I went to tuck in Brendan.

Out of the mouths of babes

Babe is a really annoying word, just for the record. 

When we tell Brendan and Owen stories people often ask if we are writing these things down.  The answer is no, but I should be.  I often share things on Facebook but that's it.  So I decided to start a recurring "out of the mouths of babes" post of things they say for my own record.

The other night Jeremy tucked Brendan in bed.  Before he left the room, he checked to be sure Owen was covered up.  As he was pulling the blankets up Brendan said "You better not wake him up, Dad, or Mom will be PISSED!"  I don't know where he hears such things.

Yesterday Jeremy was singing Adele's "Rumor Has It".  The line is "now rumor has it she ain't got your love anymore".  To which Brendan asks "What does Uma have" (uma is our cat for those who don't know) "and if you don't want her to have it, take it away!"  Logical.

Last weekend Brendan played with Maddy.  When we got home that night he came in the room and said "Mom, did you know that last weekend the Big Bad Wolf huffed and puffed and blew Maddy's house down?"  I played along and gasped in disbelief and said "I didn't know that!"  He then said "YEAH!  Then she had to rebuild it again out of bricks ALL BY HERSELF!"  Poor Maddy!

Saturday

Saturday morning was a lazy day.  We pretty much spent the whole morning staring at the TV.  Nothing like six hours of Team Umizoomi.  (for the record, I was the one glued to the couch the whole time.  Brendan and Owen watched a bit but spent the majority of the time playing.  BUT, every time I try to stand up or change the channel all hell breaks loose).

After we finally peeled ourselves off the couch we got dressed and went for haircuts.  Poor Owen, he has the thinnest, lightest hair ever.  Now that it's cut again he looks like he is bald.  Brendan's, on the other hand, is actually thickening up.

Me and my Maddy

On Saturday we went to Gramma's for a bit to play with Maddy.  Brendan took her for a spin around the living room in the Lego wagon.  I'm not quite sure how she didn't get her little rump stuck in that wagon.  Who needs Radio Flyer??

More fun than that, Uncle Tony was there too.  90% of the time he had one of the kids climbing on him.

I have no clue what Maddy is doing here, but I kind of think that maybe Brendan is considering a career in  hair?

Torture

Brendan was all about zombies this Halloween.  He listened to Thriller over and over.  He begged to go see zombies but was not amused by these monsters.

Butterflies

A few weeks ago we were at my mom's for a play date with Maddy.  We were outside playing hopscotch and a butterfly kept landing over by the kids.  We went out to play in the yard and it followed us.  Every where we went, the butterfly seemed to go.  I bet it followed us for close to 45 minutes.  Eventually, I tried to pick it up thinking it would never in a million years let me get close enough.  I held my hand out and it climbed right on.  It let me hand it off to each of the kids and it walked around on their hands and would sit on their leg.  I have never seen anything like it.  Was it a coincidence that the day that we were out playing was four months, 22 days since Noah died??  For anyone who wonders why that would be significant, Noah passed away when he was four months, 22 days old.  

The Closet

Most people would consider being sent to the closet a punishment.  At Gramma's the kids shut themselves in it.
