the cat knocked a full glass of water off the table and onto jay's head while he slept the other night. it was hilarious. i told mack all about it and said i hoped the cat did it again tonight, and her response was. "here's a fun idea. how about not putting water next to your head when you go to sleep?"

We took a spontaneous trip to Ocean City MD this weekend. Here are some good ones.

Jess in the car: "Why did they put all the beaches so far away?!"
Cate in the hotel after opening a closet: "Look! They even have a SURFBOARD!!!!" (referring to a tabletop ironing board)

mack's daily writing exercise:
Today's date is April12, 2011. It is the 136th day of school. In two days it will be Thursday the 14th of April. I know that bees make honey. I also know that bees make beehives, One thing I want to know is do bees eat meat?

raising a carnivore makes me giddy.

[Mama Kel]

She definitely has a thing for meat. Did you ask her if she wondered if bees kept meat for a pet?

[Slave Self Promoted]

you must have to feed the bees meat before you milk them for their honey.

2 summers ago I went sailing with my then 3.5 year old daughter. We had some snacks aboard, nuts, raisins, etc.

Olivia: Daddy, what are those shoes that I like to eat?
Me: What??
Olivia: Those shoes you gave me, they were really good.
Me Cashews, Liv, Cashews

[Phishfolk]

I forget what she was trying to say but a little while back Lily said "fuck you" to me

on thursday night, jeremy and i were making cupcakes. i told him we had to soften the butter. he replied, "we're putting butter in them? butter makes everything delicious!" i laughed and asked him how he knew that. he paused, and then said matter-of-factly, "because i know everything."

mackenna hung out with me while i was giving lily a bath tonight. she was eating a chocolate bunny all happily, when she suddenly stopped, looked at me with a petrified look on her face, and said "mommy, is it normal for teeth you use every day to suddenly get really loose?" i let her know that all her tiny teeth are going to fall out, not just the front ones, and she wipes the tears from her face and runs downstairs to show jay her unexpected loose tooth. then she comes back up with a napkin and within seconds her tooth is out. HOORAY!! yippee for double presents tomorrow! easter bunny AND tooth fairy!! it's like christmas.
i get lily's tub done and we all come downstairs, where mackenna writes the tooth fairy a letter to put in the bag with her tooth. it reads "dear tooth fairy. this tooth JUST got loose today AND it fell out today. please give this lucky tooth to my little sister, lily emro. thank you! - mackenna"

today jeremy was playing with a soccer ball at the park. somehow it landed behind him, bounced up and hit him in the bum. he laughed and yelled, "mom, the ball just kicked me in the ass!" it was all i could do to keep a straight face as i told him that ass is swearing, bum is not, so he had better use bum.

and tonight at supper, i told him i was going to the grocery store and wanted to know what he would like in his lunches this week. so he tells me things like strawberries abd blueberries. then starts in on things like a guitar, a basketball. then he tells me he wants to eat bricks. "but not old bricks. i only eat fresh bricks. write that down, mommy." weirdo.

That's cute!!

The other night Maya and Bill went out for a walk- it was cold and rainy. When she got back it was way past her bedtime so I said "come on over here Maya, let's read a book." She says "I just have to scratch my butt and check for frostbite" as she was pulling off her socks. (She's convinced that she always gets frostbite when it's cold out)

We went to visit Frank's great Aunt Sally this weekend, she's 94 & lives in a nursing home. Catie was confused about a nursing home so we tried to explain it as an apartment and hospital together for people who can't take care of themselves anymore, etc.

So Catie says "why doesn't she just get a husband?" I start to explain that her husband would probably be old like her & Cate says "No she should get a younger husband who can do all that stuff"

magnolia: is the chicken mad while im eating it?

My niece loudly announced at a family party (she's 4) Aunt Erin you have floofy boobs. I tell her thank you, and laugh.

About an hour later she asks if she can play with them. I tell her that's not really appropriate.

Half an hour later, 'How bout now, can I play with them....you're boobs I mean'

I have no idea where her sudden obsession with boobs came from but apparently Aunt Barb and I have the best and she tries to get us to let her play with them LOL Made me feel better ot know I wasn't alone

the other night we were playing in the park, and jeremy was being a goof, and kept falling down and skinning his knees and stuff, no real damage. on the way home we were assessing his assorted bruises and scrapes, and he said, "i keep breaking myself! i'm a ruined boy." he happened to be on his bike, riding very slowly. about a minute after he said that, he dinged his head off the side mirror of a truck parked at the curb.

Karys has a sunburn on her butt, (apparently, her suit rides up and really, who thinks to sunscreen buns?)

So she's been walking around in sundresses commando

I heard the other day "AIDAN!! If you don't leave me alone, I'm going to touch your stuff with my butt!"

[cj]

so, jeremy and i are having a stand-off. he refuses to clean his room until i give him a snack. i refuse to give him a snack until he cleans his room. he just came downstairs and pulled a heavy on me.

"If you give me a snack, then I love you. If you don't give me a snack, then I don't love you. Do you want me to love you? Or would you like me to hate you?"

oh my god. my little five year old teenager.

Anni's latest, "I love you, Everyone" Whether there's two people or five people...

And the other day she wanted me to lay down with her for rest time and she says, "You lay down w.me 2 minutes?" (Everything is two minutes or two pieces...Again, whether there's two or ten) And I said, "Yes, Sweetheart"...She says, "Close your eyes, Mama...Close your eyes and dream"
