If I Was Her...

On the way to school today, the boys were watching "The Sound of Music". They loved it and I was so glad they did because it is one of my favorite movies. They kept asking questions about it and talking about it and laughing and singing...it was great!

It came to the scene where all the children are in Maria's room during a thunderstorm because they are scared. (She sings "My Favorite Things") The captain comes in and is very angry because they did not follow their strict bedtimes. Maria sends them off to bed while the captain stays and reprimands Maria. She asked him for material to make play clothes for the children which makes him even madder. She ends up saying angrily "They are children!" and the captain says "YES AND I AM THEIR FATHER" He storms out of the room leaving Maria stunned.

Quentin says "If I was her, I would say 'oh crap' right now!"

The Embarrassing Easter Egg Hunt

The day before Easter, Elizabeth brought candy-filled eggs for Brandon to hide so the boys could have and Easter egg hunt while they were here. Brandon hid 48 eggs. The boys had a blast looking for them and finding all but three of them.

Brandon kept looking around to see where the last three might be. But in the end, they were lost for good apparently.

Connor kept walking around looking for them saying "This is so embarrassing. I can't believe he didn't make a map"

I Miss the Younger Years

This morning, while eating his chosen cereal for breakfast, Connor said "On Sunday or some other day when we have more time, can we have "baggie eggs" for breakfast again?" (You put two eggs in a baggie and put omelet toppings in, squish it up and boil it until the egg is done)

I said "sure we can do that. I'll get all the stuff"

Connor said "Good. I'm glad we can make them again. I really liked doing that. I miss the younger years"

I Don't Want the Pee

Last night, I was making a couple of eggs for my supper and Zeke decided he wanted eggs, too. I asked him if he wanted scrambled and he said "No. Yogi eggs" (over easy)

So I made him two "yogi" eggs. He sat down at the table and I was cutting the white part off the yolk so he could eat the white part first. While I was cutting, I knicked the yellow part and the yolk started running out.

Zeke said "I don't want the pee."

I was startled and said "what?"

He said "I don't want the pee."

I said "I don't know what you mean. What are you talking about?"

He pointed at the yolk running out on the plate and said "there...I don't want the pee"

The Baby's Gotta Pee?

The other day, I picked Connor up at school then went to Jessica's to pick up the other two boys. On the way to Jessica's Connor and I were listening to the radio and "Sounds Like Life to Me" came on. The first part of the song played...

"Sara's old car's 'bout to fall apart and the washer quit last week. We had to put Mama in the nursing home and the baby's cuttin' teeth"

Connor acted startled and said "WHAT...the baby's gotta pee!?!?!?!?"

Hoarder

The boys were all telling Mom good night on Friday night. Quentin was waiting for "his turn" and while waving his hands around to show the room, he said to Mom, "You know, if you look around your room, it's like you're a hoarder"

I don't think she heard him because there was no reply

Urinal

We were leaving school the other day and Connor decided he had to go to the bathroom before we got in the car so he went into the restroom they always use at school. Zeke decdied he needed to go too so I asked Connor to help him.

They went in together, but Connor came out first. He said "I can't help him because he won't listen. I told him he can't use the UNIRAL"
