Isaac is on a role...more funny moments!

So yesterday Isaac and I are driving home and he says, "Mom, I don't want to you get old like our grandmas". I ask him why not? Thinking that he will say something like he doesn't want me to die because he will miss me. Isaac says, "I don't want your face to get all squishy!" Apparently, Isaac thinks wrinkles look squishy!

Then this morning while we are taking Brandon to school, Isaac is singing along with the radio. He has always been into music and singing. So, this morning he says, "Mom, when I grow up I want to be a music man." I said okay Isaac lets hear you sing me a song. Isaac could have chose any song...but my 5 year old started singing Flow Riders, Low, Low, Low! For those of you familiar with that song, it is NOT an appropriate 5 year old song. I guess I need to be more careful what I listen to when my kids are around (not that Flow Riders rap song is in my daily listening menu). That reminds me of another story.... a couple weeks ago we were driving and the radio was on some song...I don't even know the title but it said something about "getting a girlfriend and meeting at the hotel"...Holiday Inn...maybe. Anyways, Isaac asked me when he got old enough to drive if he could get a girlfriend and meet me at the hotel. I don't know about this kid...he pays attention to the smallest details.

Kids say the cutest things.....

Today in church we were sitting up close to the front...close enought to actually pay attention. Brandon was very much into his coloring but also paying attention. The speaker was saying how the Lord has called our bishop to be in charge of our ward...Brandon stopped what he was doing looked at me and said, "Mom, holy crap, the Lord called our Bishop!" I can just imagine Brandon thinking about that phone call :)

Later that day Isaac was sneaking in the pantry to eat his 3rd chocolate granola bar of the day, he had opened the wrapper and was about to stick the granola bar in his mouth when I said, "Isaac, don't eat that, put it back in the pantry". Isaac immedietly said "Oh mom, I already opened it and air is the enemy to freshness!" What???? I have no idea how a 5 year old knew that "air is the enemy to freshnes". I fell to the ground laughing and ask him how he knew that. He says that he doesn't know where he learned it but it must have been from some ziplock bag commercial or something.

Anyways, it just reminds me how sweet and simple children are and how much I love my two cute boys!

Halloween Costumes 2009

So I am only a little bit behind posting my Halloween pictures.
The kids loved wearing their costumes this year. Brandon was Indiana Jones, Isaac was Storm Shadow (the white ninja from GI Joe) and Maycee was a U of U Cheerleader. We went to the church parking lot for a trunk or treat and then I took the boys to their first Haunted House. A neighbor does a little haunted house that is not to scary but a good "beginner" haunted house. The boys did pretty good. I ended up carrying Isaac and Brandon had the death grip on my hand. At the end the kids got a full size candy bar....definatley worth it!

Syracuse Pumpkin Walk

Saturday night I took the kids to the Syracuse Pumpkin Walkwith my neighbor. It was way more cool than I thought it would be. I seriously took pictures of at least 30 different pumpkins. I didn't want to post all 30 so I choose one of each of our favorites. We went at closing on the last night and so by the time we were leaving the workers were giving away all the leftover food and treats. We came home with popcorn, cotton-candy and Hot Chocolate (or Hot coffee as Isaac called it).




Yes, that is Edward!

Bad Luck

I hope bad things don't come in threes because I have had two bad things happen in the past 6 days and I don't want anymore.

1. Last Thursday, the kids were out of school and I thought I would be a good mom and take my kids to see a movie. We had a great time at the movie and on our way home we were in a car accident. Don't worry no one was seriously hurt and it wasn't my fault. We were stopped at a red light and a 19 year old in a truck and TEXTING... wasn't paying attention and rammed into the back of us. Needless to say our Honda pilot got the worst of it and it will be in the shop until at least Oct. 22...or so they say! I am not going to get into all the messy details because it might make me mad again but that was a bad night.

2. This morning as I am hurrying to get the kids out the door and ON TIME to school I had a little fight with the corner of the car door. A sharp corner bounced back and smacked me in the chin. I give up...the door won that fight. My hubby ran home to take care of his frantic wife and helped me to the Quick Care where the nice doctor gave me 4 stitches! I was kindof a whimp about getting stitches but the doctor told me if I was brave I could have a sucker. Oh goody!


I hope next time I blog I have more happy things to share!
