Randomness

The other night in the car after telling the kids they had to settle down a little.



Spencer: Evan, do you know what settle down means?

Evan: What?

Spencer: It means that you don't do any of the things you would do if you were a monkey.

The kids after eating "Spartan" cupcakes to celebrate the BIG victory!

That was the most intense green frosting I think I have ever seen. It was more like greasepaint than frosting. Hailey's poop was even green the next day!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This morning while Hailey was helping me bag the cans to take to the store.

Her picking up a Diet Coke can and putting it in the bag: "Mama"


Her picking up a beer can and putting it in the bag: "Dada"


Another Diet Coke can: "Mama"


Another beer can: "Dada"


It could have been a coincidence, but I don't think so. The girl is a genius - and apparently very observant.

Evan looking for a snack in the snack box.


Evan: I think I want Diego fruit snacks. No, I want a cereal bar. Oh - now I see what I want....Cookies Ahoy! (actually Chips Ahoy!)

Spencer out of the blue on a Saturday morning.


Spencer: Mom? Who do you think our next President of the United States will be?


Mom: I am not sure honey. I think it is going to be a really close race.


Spencer: I think it is going to be that Rock Obama.

Evan after finding out that school was cancelled.

We were upstairs brushing his teeth when we got the call that school was cancelled because they had no power or heat in the building. Most kids would be jumping for joy, but Evan ran into Spencer's room on the verge of tears and hid in the corner with a bongo drum. The promise of a donut from the grocery store helped him to slowly ease out of his funk. The kid LOVES school!

Evan after soccer practice on Thursday night.

Evan: There is Emily riding on her Daddy's shoulders. Her Dad is kinda like Uncle Mark.

Mom: Why is he like Uncle Mark? (though I knew what was coming...)

Evan: Because they are both balded. But that is OK because that is how God made them.


Sorry Uncle Mark!
