Boom Boom Pow

Toy: Press three letters to make a word.

J: B....U....T

Toy: Butt! Wahoo!

Boys: (laugh uproariously)

D: I didn't make my day. It just turned into a warming of house party.

J: I'm a ninja; watch me fly!

Me: Little boys, on the way home we're gonna stop and get stuff to make a cake for Daddy's birthday.
J: Yaaaay!
D: Nooooooo! It's my birthday!

D (at a passing semi): OH DUDE C'MON!!


Littles: We want to play in outer space!
Me: What's in outer space?
J: EXPLOSIONS AND PLANETS!

J was looking over my shoulder at a video starring a very large, black man ~

J: Who is that? D? Me? C?

D: Is that orange juice? Is that orange juice? Is that orange juice?
Me: No, it's pickle juice.

.... hours later

D: Mom, I need more pickle juice.

J: Where going now?

Me: Home.

J: Back to the Treehouse and eat Daddy's cake!

D: JJ, you can have English muffin OR cake. That's what you can have.

(1/12) Work day for us & school for the boys.  The boys coughed and snarfed their way through the day today, and Dad says he's starting to get sick too.  Bah!  

(1/13) Blarg.  Everyone is sick.  I kept the boys all home from school today.  We missed the field trip with the littles' preschool to the fire department... but a day in our PJs was much needed.  

(1/14) Work day for me, and the boys are home hacking.  C was able to return to school at least.  I even have the plague, and I rarely get sick.  

(1/15) Work from home day for me.  My office closed early, and it was nice to have a quiet evening with the fam.  

(1/16) The boys didn't have ice today, so I caught Zumba class in the morning, and then we ran errands until it was time to go to the Tips game vs Seattle with friends to kick off Dad's b-day weekend.  We won 5-1.  Boom!  Thanks to Nanan for watching the littles!  

(1/17) Lazy Sunday home with the boys while Dad worked.  We watched Despicable Me several times, and discovered it definitely works better when you put the right disc in. Whodathunk?  It's a nice change from mainlining Home... though I'm sure it will get old soon.  

Feelin' the love today.... "No Mom allowed.  NO MOMS. GO AWAY!"

(1/18) Happy birthday to Dad! He had to work, and then C had hockey, but the rest of us were on holiday.  We hit the gym in the morning and then the grocery store to get cake fixins, because logical.  The littles picked out 8 candles and a letter D for Dad for his cake. 

(1/19) Amanda and her kiddo both had the flu, so I ended up staying home with the boys.  D was a pistol today, and I was glad to drop them at preschool for a bit.  Though his teacher said he was full of ornery juice there too.  Sigh.  To conclude our night, he discovered Dad's cologne and had been in time out about 30 times.  

(1/20) The littles didn't have school today due to conferences.  Their teachers had positive things to say about them, and what nice kids they are.  I took them out to the park and we played there until it was just too cold.  I brought them home and warmed them up with hot chocolate.  Granddad came over tonight and watched the kiddos while Dad and I went out to sushi for a belated birthday dinner.  Yum!

(1/21) Work day for me, and Dad had the boys.  He took them to all to hockey and I attended a membership meeting for the school.  Long & busy day for sure. 

(1/22) Worked from home today while the littles thundered above my head.  I had book club with the ladies tonight and I think we can safely say that this is the least we've ever discussed a book. LOL!

(1/23) Hockey day for the boys.  C's team trounced the opposing team in this morning's game.  The littles had an absolutely lousy practice.  But whatever, we were there, and they were on the ice. The rest of the day was filled with errands and cooking, and finally I left for a party with the girls. 

(1/24) Lazy Sunday with my peeps.  They're having a campout in my living room today complete with sleeping bags. It's pretty cute.
