Love and Marriage

April 3, 2007

The boys and I were in the kitchen chatting about families and marriage and I had told them that it can be difficult to find someone you love that loves you back and wants to marry you. Aunt Jan came up in the conversation and the fact that she wasn't married. I told them that she loved Charlie and wanted to marry him but Charlie didn't want to get married. Jacob said, "I want to marry Aunt Jan." Micah said that she would probably be dead when Jacob was old enough to get married. Jacob got a very worried look on his face, so I said she would probably not be dead and if he wanted to marry her that was just fine.

The amazing printer

This morning Jacob told Tyler he wanted him to go to work and bring home a Scooby Doo video game like he did when he brought home Lego Star Wars II video game. Tyler told him he didn't get it at work. So of course Jacob asked, "Where did you get it then?" Tyler told him he got it off the internet. Jacob replied, "You printed it out?!"

The funny ones

March 28, 2007

Last night Jacob and I were watching one of those funniest home video shows. Jacob kept asking me why people were laughing at certain videos. He then told me, "Mommy, I'm only going to laugh at the funny ones."

Poop, and lots of it

Tuesday, March 13, 2007

Saturday night I was helping Jacob in the bath when I hear Micah yelling, "Ben pooped on the floor and he's walking it all around the carpet!" I had just recently given him a bath and he didn't want his diaper on and I didn't want to fight it, so... I run in there and sure enough, poop everywhere nd it smells horrible. I don't really even know where to begin. Half of it was on this huge mat they have in the playroom, so I put that straight into the washing machine. I then proceed to basically smear the other spots into the carpet even more, along with some Resolve carpet cleaner (which doesn't even work very well.) That doesn't do much but rub it in, so I move on to boiling water and lots of towels. I finally get out my Kirby with the carpet cleaning attachment on it and the belt burns, I start crying and then feel that my silent prayers have been answered when I suddenly remember where the extra belt is, well, that belt burns too! So, now it smells like poop and burning rubber, mmmmmm nice! Ben sees me sitting on the floor crying and comes over and huds me and says, "Sorry Mommy." Ok, so cute to hear a 1 1/2 year old say that. I end up just shampooing the carpet with out the belt on the cleaner, which means that the brush just isn't spinning, not as effective for sure, but what are you gonna do?

Mommy's bad guy eyebrows

March 12, 2007

Tyler and I both took a nap today (Sunday) and when I woke up (to Ben crying, he was napping too) I went and got Ben out of his crib and went into Micah and Jacob's room. Micah said, "Mommy why are you eyebrows sticking up like a bad guy?"

I guess they got a little messed up while I was sleeping and were sticking up.

Daddy's song

Tyler was singing a made up song to Jacob and Jacob asked him to stop because, "It gives my thumb a headache."
