Lots going on...

There has been lots going on around here! We've celebrated Halloween, Bennett's 4th birthday, and a wonderful visit from Grammy. Detailed posts to follow. For now we'll sign off by saying "Beam me up Scotty".

Wha'd you say?

After a rain storm Miles went outside to find a worm on our porch. He pointed and yelled "A Snake!" then he jumped back and said "That's creepy".

Bennett- "I think play doh tastes salty (pause). Is that how they make it, with salt and mashed potatoes?"

The kids were laying in bed talking before bed when I overheard Porter say "I always wanted a little ice cream truck I could drive around". Then he began singing "Nar Nar Nar Nar Nar Nar Nar Nar" (to the tune of Pop Goes The Weasle).

Miles is such a funny talker right now because he does hand jestures along with his words to help us understand. Some of our favorites are when Maya poked herself in the eye and started crying he said "Maya poke eye waahhh" (while poking himself in the eye and tilting his head from side to side) and when he told the man at Sam's Club "I get pizza (holding one hand out palm up) on a plate (flopping the other hand onto the first like a slice of pizza sitting on a plate)".

Maya "Mom, I'm kind of a scardy cat because I'm kind of scared of some things like lice and black holes."

I served tacos with black beans for dinner and as I rushed around looking for Porters scout shirt and Bennett complained about not liking beans Maya said "Hey mom I saw this commercial for this medicine and if you take it before you eat beans you will only get a little gassy".

Porter came into the toy room as I was cleaning it and said "Mom, Bennett has these things on his hands and he is saying they are receiving gloves". I walked over to find Bennett with each of his hands shoved into a condom.

Me "Bennett would you say our prayer?"
Bennett "Well, I kind of have dribbley eyes so that's why I can't do it"

Bennett "You're super pretty mom."
Me "You're super handsome"
Bennett "No I'm not. Handsome means you wear a bow tie. I'm super cool."

As Casey read to the kids before bed, he read about a little girl who went to live with a fancy lady and the lady got the girl a tutor. Bennett giggled and every time Casey read the word tutor Bennett would say "TOOTER" and laugh. To make matters even worse the fancy lady had a BUTler also!

The kids and I had been looking over a list of local activities for kids and talking about the activities they might be interested in when Porter said "Mom, you should go to a class where they massage your feet." I told him I thought I'd like that and he said "And you could put pickles on your eyes!"

Bennett (who was supposed to be going to sleep) came into my room and I automatically said "No, go to bed." then he said "But...I want a song called Spiderman.". I again said "No, go to bed." He started walking off then peeked his head around the corner and said "And you're mean."

Miles saw a man with a cigarette hanging out of him mouth, and thinking it was a sucker stick, he started frantically pointing and yelling "sucker"!

Bennett "A local kid kicked me in the but last week, I just smiled at him and I turned the other cheek."
"I'm just so white an nerdy, look at me, I'm white and nerdy."
These were both from the same day, I think someone has been listening to too much Weird Al.

Bennett walked into the bathroom to find Casey soaking in the big bathtub. He scrunched up his shoulders, turned up his palms, and in a very high voice said "WHAT, A PARENT TAKING A BATH?" He then proceeded to go into the bedrooms and tell all the other kids.

Porter was playing with a LEGO man and Maya was playing with a doll when I overheard the conversation the toys were having :
Porter "My name's uncle Fred, but they also call me Arnold"
Maya "Why do they call you Arnold?"
Porter "Because I like to go to McDonald's and they have a guy named Arnold there."
Maya "They also have a guy named Ronald"
Porter "Oh yeah, Ronald, that's my name."

Bennett telling me about his bad bream: "It was about something was trying to eat me and it had a strong beak."

Maya "Torches? Aren't torches for parades where people go to get something?"
Porter "You mean mobs?"
Maya "Yeah, mobs."

While watching a Mickey Mouse cartoon in the back of the car we heard Bennett say "That's not funny, Donald" in a rather menacing voice.
