An Affinity for Pizza

J: When you see a blue light, you have to get pizza for dinner for affinity days!
D: And I see a blue light!
Me: What if you already have pizza and see a blue light?
J: Then you just get more. And if you want something else, you just have to have pizza.

Me: Whatever is covered by your swim shorts is a private part, and no one else should see that but you.
J: Yeah! Except for when you're invisible.
Bwahaha!

Me: My car is the coffee car!
J: But you can't lick or taste it.
Me: Aww...

S: I told the boys they had to stay in the same room because I'm not a mom and don't have eyes in the back of my head.

C: I'm going to drink this Gatorade because I know it has electrons in it!


On Pop Rocks ~
J: They taste like toothpaste!  So Mom, I don't need to brush my teeth tonight.
Me: Oh yes you do!
D: It's not for your teeth; it's for your tongue!

D's favorite new cereal is the "powerful marshmallow cereal."  It's like Lucky Charms mixed with Captain Crunch.

D: Socks is gonna come back as a baby, and then we will have him again! S telled that to me.



(6/2) Happy Donut Day!  It was a work day for me, but alas we did not plan for donuts. Dad saved the day by getting donuts for us all later though. He went up and fetched the teenager for the weekend so we can get in a little driving practice. Eeps!


(6/3) S and I took the twins to swim lessons, and came home to find only C, as Dad had gone off fishing by himself. C had a skate clinic this evening, so S, the twins, and I had a movie night, complete with sundaes with all the fixins!  C inhaled a heavy dinner right before he got on the ice and ended up not feeling well for the second half. Poor bubs.


(6/4) We got on the road early for part two of C's skate clinic.  He was feeling much better this morning, thankfully!  The Kent Valley Ice Center is awesome ~ there was a mini golf course and an arcade.  D had the best time "rock climbing" the mountain out on the course.  Once we got home, I checked in on our kitty, who has not been doing well these last few months.  I've been dreading this day, and have been waiting for him to tell me that it was time.  We all said our goodbyes, and I took him in.  He's been with us for the last 16 years, and has been a wonderful companion.


(6/5) Work day from home for me, and Amanda had the twins.  I ended up getting off work early because it was my company's golf tourney today.  I picked up the twins and took them to swim lessons, and then to the spray park.  D had a blast "powering up" the park, and would hit the sensors as soon as the water stopped.  C's new backpack arrived today in the mail, and he was absolutely ecstatic.  He filled his pack with snacks, his school stuff, and other supplies to keep him entertained.  It weighed a ton, but he was convinced he was good with it.


(6/6) Bonus day off for me so the twins and I went to Howarth Park to play on the trails & beach.  It was a beautiful day today!


(6/7) It's my regular day off today, and the twins and I hit the gym, and then went to hide some rocks at Narbeck.  C had an appointment tonight, and I got to spend a little quality time with him today too.


(6/8) Work day for me, and Dad had the boys.  I picked up some blue hair dye for the C-monster, and was excited to get it home to him, and then got stuck in an hour and half of gnarly accident traffic. We dyed his hair, but his scalp took up more of the dye than his hair, and his hair has sort of a blueish-gray tinge.  I'll lighten his hair first and try again.


(6/9) Work day for me, and Dad had the boys.  I got home in a flash compared to last night. After the boys went down, I had the TV to myself and got caught up on my stories.

(6/10) The twins completed their Saturday session of swim lessons. I have them in two level one classes concurrently because the pool's summer sessions just don't work with our schedule, and we need to cram it all in before we hit the water park next month.  They actually mastered almost everything, and are really doing well!  I let them play at the spray park after their lesson, and then we came home.  We celebrate one year in this house as of tomorrow, so ordered in from Olive Garden tonight.  Yummo!


(6/11) Work day for Dad, and the boys and I had a lazy day.  We bummed around the house for the morning, and decided on the lake for the afternoon.  It was a bit chilly out (high 60s), but my guys are like ducks ~ straight in the water!  Sarah and her boys joined us later, and it gave us a chance to catch up.


(6/12) Work day for Dad & me, school for C, and the boys were with Amanda.  The twins got to go to the beach today.  Lucky kiddos!
