Mustachios

D: Is the dogs' fur their blankie?
Me: Kind of. They don't wear clothes, so they have fur to keep them warm.
D: And fuzzy?

D: All the cars come from Washington!
Me: They do?
D: Yeah, see, they all have Washington on the sign.

D: OOOOH, MOM YOU DAMAGED MY DAY!!!


D: Why did I hear 'poop' and 'pee' on the radio?
Me: They were talking about a baby, and that's pretty much all they do.
D: What if we had the Boss Baby?

D: Looks like you can't park here, Mom.
J: Or they will come and steal your car! And you'll have to pay all the monies to get it back!

Me: Be good for Grandma.
D: Okay, I won't say, "What the hell!"
Me: ...

J: Look!  I drew a person! It's a dad.

D: You have 118 minutes left, Mom.

Playing Minecraft ~
J: OH YEAH BABY!

D: I want some mustachios (pistachios) for breakfast!

J: I'm gonna tuck ya. (and then he tucked me into bed ~ so sweet!)

D: I'm gonna take these things off cuz I don't really like them. It's a sandwich of egg stem. (little pieces of fried egg stuck to his sandwich)

(4/29) Swim practice for the twins today, and a lacrosse game for C.  Swim was an absolute disaster.  J didn't get wet above the waist until the very end, and screamed every time the instructor touched him.  And D was in full-Deedle mode.  Not listening, yelling at the pool kitty, and splashing. I had a chat with them about their behavior. Hopefully next week goes much better!  After we got home, some friends of ours came out to decorate the Gambler car.  It looks amazing!  Dad & C are going to have such a good time!  

(4/30) The kiddos played video games this morning while I read my book on the treadmill (multi-tasking at its finest!). This afternoon, we went to the Reptile Zoo with the grandparents. It's such a neat place!  We capped off a fun afternoon with ice cream. J couldn't finish his, and asked me if he had eaten enough.  LOL, to get dessert?  Dear J, you don't have to finish.


(5/1) Happy Monday!  I ruined D's day early by putting the toy he wanted to bring, then said "he didn't need" back in the house.  The wrath of 5 is strong.  I worked from home today, and questioned why we had children at least a dozen times before 8am.  The rest of the day was fine, but ermahgerd, some mornings...


(5/2) Work day for Dad & me, school for C, and the boys were with Amanda.  It took Dad 45 minutes to get home today, on what is normally a 15 minute trip. A small plane went down (thankfully everyone was okay!), but it sure messed up traffic.  They ended up not making it to lacrosse, since it's right over by the crash site.  I had book club this evening with my work peeps, and made it back in time to read twinsies their stories and put them to bed.


(5/3) The boys and I hit the gym this morning, and then came home and painted rocks to hide with Amanda at the park. They turned out cute!  After C got home, and the boys were immersed in screen time, I worked out in the yard.  It was sunny and lovely outside, so C and a neighbor boy had a squirt gun fight that took us all down to the park. Sarah and her boys joined us briefly and we got to catch up since we missed our weekend coffee jaunt.


(5/4) Work day for me, and Dad had the boys today.  All three boys had dentist appointments this afternoon, and Dad took them in.  He said they pretty much assembly-lined them through. All was well, and they came home with prizes.  I watched a huge storm roll in this afternoon, and drove home watching the lightning fork above me.  Lacrosse practice was cancelled tonight for obvious reasons, and Dad declared movie night.  Sing for the boys, and Passengers for us.  So good!


(5/5) Happy Cinco de Mayo! Work day for me, and galley slave day for Dad.  He cooked up some delicious surf & turf tacos for this evening, and we had a bucket o' margaritas for the adults.  We had the gang over for dinner, and we ended up watching playoff hockey.  Crazy game!


(5/6) The twins had swim this morning, which went heaps better than last week!  I got some goggles for J afterward, so hopefully they will help him be a little bit braver about getting his "eyeballs wet." C had a lacrosse game, which his team totally bombed today.  But after that, we all met up at the house and the grands came over to take the boys to see Peter Pan.  They said the play was great, though a bit long for the twins. Dad and I went to a wedding this afternoon, and had a few hours of child-free time.


(5/7) Hooray for nice weather!  We met up with Nanan and took lunch up to the beach today.  It was a balmy 60F, but my insane boys decided to go swimming.  C built a raft out of drift wood, and floated.  Nanan and I had a lovely chat, and it was so great to soak up some sun.


 (5/8) Happy Monday!  Work day for Dad & me, school for C, and the twins are with Amanda.
