What kids say

Elliot came running in the kitchen right behind Oliver screaming at him. I told him to calm down and what was wrong.  He yelled at me "oliver is ruining my awesome technology"
His 'awesome technology' was a headphone cord wrapped around a Pringles can.


Claire came in our room this morning, right up to the edge of the bed (by my face) and whispered "I can't get the milk and I really want chocolate milk."  I laughed and said "You're so adorable I can't stand it." And she replied "Yes you can."

Musical Beds

I can't remember if I posted this subject before but...
Every night is a game in our house.  It's called musical beds.  Well, beds is not exactly true.  It's more like musical sleeping area.  It's always a mystery who is going to be where.  I would like to clarify that we have never allowed or encouraged the kids to sleep anywhere but there beds.  However, these are a few of the places we find them:
Claire in the hall closet.
Michelle under the desk in my office.
Claire in the playroom on the floor by the computer (she said she just had to play one game)
Elliot in a tent on the main floor.

I would put up the picture of Claire if my computer would read my card.

Things Kids Say

1)  We were riding in the car and I had bought Michelle and Elliot kites.  Elliot was talking about wind and Michelle stopped him saying "The only way you can know if there's wind is with a compass and all the ones at our house are broken."

2)  We went to Red Lobster (of Red Monster as the kids say) and Michelle was talking to the host about the lobster in the tank while we walked to our table.  She asked "So you keep the lobster in there until someone picks it to eat?" and he said yes so she said "Like a pet and food."

Weekend Project

So I know Elliot is getting bored out of his mind at home (he is very ready for school finally) so this is what I did this weekend.
Yes, it is a mini climbing wall.  I have lots of handholds loft so I am going to do the adjacent wall next week.

So it happened again.

Yes, that is hair all over the bathroom floor.  I'd like to blame the shot glass but it only contained coins.


Elliot "helped" Claire with her hair.  She told him it was in her eyes.  This is after I took her to get it "fixed" at the kid hair salon.  I forgot to get a before photo.

For the record Claire is the third child to cut her own hair/have a sibling cut her hair.  One more to go, I guess.
