He's a Goofball

This morning, as the boys were eating their breakfast, Quinn was singing a song. Chase says, "mom, Quinn's a goofball. I think we should kick him out of the house!" Hahaha Crazy kiddos!

Yikes! Where did that come from??

A conversation with Chase, just moments ago.

"Mommy, I love you."
"I love you too, baby."
"Mom, what happens if you die?"

Not sure how I was supposed to respond to that one.

Well, it's been a while, but the days are never without a laugh. There have been so many this month, and I just haven't had the time to write. Of course, now I can't remember them. It's a little upsetting because a few of them were Quinn's and I haven't had much from him on here.

But, here goes...a couple of conversations from today.

As I was changing Chase's diaper Reese tried to grab him. I told her "no" and moved her away. I tried to make light of it with Chase and laughed and said, "She tried to grab your wienie." He laughed and told her, "No Reese, you can't do that."

I decided it was time to test his memory as for the correct name for that part (something I am big on making sure my children know, for multiple reasons). I asked him what it was really called, to which he responded as if I were a moron, "Moooooom, it's just a wienie!" I said, "yes, but what is its real name?" His response, in a questioning tone, "Ummm, Wienie Denton???"

Nice try kiddo!

This evening, Quinn comes into the room I am sitting in to give me the standard evening tattle about something his brother is doing. This time it was, "Mom, Chase just kicked me." So, I called Chase in the room. "Chase, did you kick your brother?" Chase: "It was in the head!"

Ahhh, brotherly love.

Really I promise...Chase is a good kid!

A Little Bragging

Ok, so this isn't necessarily something my kids may have said, but it's time to bring Quinn in too. We got his 2nd quarter grade card yesterday. Once again he had all "E" and "+" on his report card. He was even too smart this time around to fall for my "All E's?!?! That's almost an F!"

He is doing great in school and I am so proud of him. Parent-teacher conferences are next month. This time they will be student lead. So, I am anxious to see how that goes.

Reese is Getting in on the Action

I knew Kirk was excited about FINALLY getting his "daddy's girl." But, even if the boys prefer me at times, they were never evil to him.

My baby is only 10 months old and she is already teasing me in her evil ways. Over the last few days she has started trying to headbutt me. And when she does she gets this little evil grin and laughs. Last night, Kirk was holding her and I was standing next to them. She started doing the headbutt thing to me, from his arms! (Never once going towards him, I might add.) Then, every time I would ask her for a kiss, she would slap my face. Of course, this has Kirk completely cracking up. Especially with the fact that if he asked for a kiss, she would turn and kiss him. Then, if I would sneak a kiss in on her, she would take her hands and wipe it off! Wow!

Crazy girl. Of course, she still prefers to fall asleep in my arms, rather than daddy's. Although, that may have something to do with the built-in pillows on my chest, that he doesn't have. :)

Drama King

Yesterday, as I was making dinner Chase was begging for a snack. I kept telling him no, until he burst into one of his whiny, fake crying fits. I told him that crying would not get him what he was wanting; crying would just make him get sent to his room until dinner was ready. With that, he covered his eyes with his hands and went running out of the room (fake crying still) and exclaimed, "I guess I'm not your boy anymore!"

Then, at dinner we were having trouble (as usual) with him staying in his seat. We kept telling him he needed to sit down on his bottom and eat like everyone else at the table. Again with the hands covering the eyes, he whined, "I guess I'm just a failure."

Well I quickly told him that he wasn't a failure that he just needed to sit down to eat. "That's how big boys do it." Then I asked him where he even heard the word failure; it's definitely not something we tell our children. He said that is what Mr. Krabs said...thanks a lot Spongebob. Hopefully we can get that word out of his vocabulary soon! Failure and can't are two words this mommy doesn't want her children using.

Marriage

I was talking to Quinn on Thursday about going to his friend's house after school on Friday. Making sure he knew all the rules and remembered to be polite...all that good mom stuff that they get so tired of hearing.

The subject quickly changed to the things that he wanted to talk about, rather than how he should behave.

He has told me plenty of times before of a few particular girls in his class that try to kiss him (and his friend). Do I think it's too young...yes. But, in the conversations we've had I haven't felt it necessary to take it to another level. It just boils down to the girls saying they are going to kiss the boys and in turn becomes a big game of tag.

On his field trip, I was also told by 3 different girls that they were going to marry Quinn. Guess he is quite the ladies man already. They are just being cute little girls.

All of this to get to just one sentence that I thought was funny. It is amazing how kids minds work. He told me there are 3 girls that want to marry him and one girl in particular wanted to marry his friend, and that he's "just always trying to help him, so that he doesn't have to marry her!"

After I kept myself from laughing out loud, I told him that he didn't have to worry about it, and that I was sure his friend would not have to marry her. His response, "I'm serious mom! We both have to help each other, so we don't have to marry them!"

Well, at least they've got each others backs.
