Funnies

Jesse woke up a couple of times the other night. I asked him why and he said, "well-uhm-my leg was hurting and-" Then his eyes lit up and he got a big smile on his face. "I grew!!" he exclaimed.

I had the oxyclean upstairs because Breanna had spilt hot chocolate all over my sling. Jesse saw the container and asked Brad "is that metamucil?" So Brad was like, "What? how do you know what metamucil is Jesse?" "I saw it on a commercial."

In church yesterday we were singing a hymn and one line says "out in the desert they wander, hungry and helpless and cold." Jesse says, "why are they cold? The desert is hot." Good point, Jesse.

The other day Breanna was sitting on the floor brushing her hair and said she was not going to stop until her next birthday because she is Repunzel. She was getting a bit frustrated that her hair wasn't growing longer.

We were a couple of minutes late for Breanna's ballet last week so when she was ready I said, go to class! And sent her on her way. I was sitting talking to my friend when one of the moms said, is that girl supposed to be in class? She had been dancing away all by herself the whole time in a big open studio. That's my Breanna!

One of my favorite things about my kids is their imagination. They are always making costumes and declaring, 'I am so-and-so!' (Batman, Robin, spiderman, Indiana Jones, Batgirl, some princess or other) and all I can think is "hm...that's a bit of a stretch." I've decided this is a direct result of their being bored all the time. There are some upsides to being pregnant for nine months :) My favorite was the day Jesse came downstairs with Indiana Jones's fedora: a piece of paper he cut out in the shape of a hat, colored brown and attached a string to so he could wear it. He even punched the holes for the string. My Mom and I laughed so hard when he came downstairs with it on-so that's what you've been doing up there for so long! Then Brad helped the kids make these:

The Riddler, Robin and Batgirl. 

Real fast.

We go through garbage bags like crazy around here.  They make great capes. Which reminds me of the song We'll Make Great Pets by Porno for Pyros. Remember that song? There are some songs that stay in your head your entire life. Like I will never for the rest of my life say to someone "to the left" without thinking of Beyonce's song. But that's beside the point. The point is, my kids are in their pajamas ALL the time these days. Don't get dressed unless absolutely necessary. :)
