I took all three of my children shopping with me yesterday. My children are 6, 4, and 3. so they don't have a filter yet on what they ask or blurt out in public. so when I saw a little person, woman walking down the aisle right past my children I knew what was coming... My middle child yelled right at her asking, "Why are you a little person!!?" . Luckily the lady was cool about it and replied, "Because God made me this way!". She was very sweet and talked to the kids for a while, then touched my arm and said, "please don't worry about it! it's good that they are curious." She then said goodbye and walked away. I thought of how nice she was and how I was so glad we didn't offend her, only to hear my middle child yell out, "Mommy!? do whales have a penis!?"........

Connor. My little bug boy

Connor was catching bugs outside the other day, when he accidentally squished one between his fingers. He frantically started looking through the grass and bushes yelling, "Doctor bug! Doctor bug!"

Story time

William told me a story of a little boy who ate some cookies without asking first, so his mommy spanked the boy, making him cry so much he filled the house with tears and his mother drowned.... I'm not sure if I should be proud of his imagination or scared of it.

Adventures in potty training!

Today I decided to try potty training Connor (who is 3 and a half) for the 675th time. I had him in his big boy underwear all day, things were going great! so I took him outside to cut his hair. I had just finished his hair when he ran off to play. I started to clean up the hair when I looked over and saw Connor squatting over the dog and peeing on her head... We will try potty training again next month.

I'm strong!

Yesterday I was busy making a menu in the dining room when I heard my daughter give out a strangled sounding laugh. When I turned around I saw my 4 year old in his super hero costume standing on the couch, Holding my 1 year old daughter by her feet above the floor... I screamed and ran over to grab her before her head hit the floor. Then demanded to know why William thought that he could do that to his sister. William looked at me and said; "But mommy, I'm so very strong!" Boys!!!

How babies are made.

A while back my sister in law came over soon after she found out she was pregnant, at the time she was craving cheese balls so she brought some to snack on, William and Connor would not leave her alone and were trying to eat them all, so we told them "Don't eat those, they are for the baby in her tummy" William stayed away from cheese balls after that. 

Well today I was talking about the new babies that will be here soon and asked William if he knew that aunt Hannah was having a baby. He said, "Aunt Hannah ate the yucky cheese balls and now she is having a baby!" I asked him, "Is that how you think you get babies? Then how did Rachel (My cousin) get a baby in her tummy?" He replied, "She ate it all gone, and now it's in her tummy." 


I don't think I will correct him yet. He is only three!:-)

Candy pirate!

I was just sitting at the table eating dinner when Connor asked me for some candy, I said "Connor if you want candy you have to eat your dinner all gone." Hearing this Connor jumped down from his chair and ran into the other room, when he came back he had a pirate hook on his hand and came at me with a fierce scowl. when he got right up to my face he growled, "Yar! Candy!" I still didn't give him any candy.
