Once again, my kids say the "darndest" things! Gabe thought he heard a bad word in some music we were listening to. They said "shut". The kids know they are not allowed to say "shut up" but think that even just "shut" is bad. We explained to him that shut just means to close and that it's okay. He said "I know a bad word, shut-up". We said "yes that's right. That is not nice". He said "I know a good bad word... idiot". So now we have "bad" words and "good-bad" words. Needless to say, I immediately headed back to the computer to write this post! I have the best life ;)

"Guy" wars

Isaiah is now on the last day of his four day weekend. :( I love having him home! The boys are playing "guys" (a combination of starwars and gi joes) and building towers with their blocks. I brought in a handful of stormtroopers that I found in the bathtub and the fighting began. They both wanted the green clone trooper, naturally. So I tried to help work things out, but Gabe was not happy with the guy I offered him. With a pouting face he said "I don't want that guy. He doesn't kick butt". :D I love the stuff that comes out of their mouths! Always entertaining!

Adventures at Walmart

This morning I braved my weekly grocery shopping trip with all three "youngin's" in tow. As usual, I get a few stares. Some people just observe us and I can't quite tell what they're thinking. I get smiles from fellow moms who just want to share a "hang-in-there" wink. And some from grumpy folks who act like our presence is just too unruly for their Walmart shopping experience (I feel sorry for these people, life must be miserably boring). Anyway, I think I enjoy deciphering their "looks" far more than they enjoy staring!
So we're making our way through Walmart, and the boys spot a lady who looks just like my Mom. Gabe points and screams "Grandma! Grandma!". Isaiah said, "Gabe, that's not Grandma". Then he decided it would be funny to pretend anyway, so anytime we saw this lady, the two of them would point and yell "Grandma!". I tried to get them to stop because I was sure she had no idea how beautiful the REAL Grandma is and how much of a compliment it really was and we were always at just enough of a distance that I couldn't just tell her. It was quite funny though :D
