I love you, but.......

I was telling Ethan how much I love him the other day and this is what I get....

Me: "Ethan do you know how much I love you?"

Ethan "Uh hu."

Me: "I just love you so super much!"

Ethan: "I know!"

Me: "Do you love me too?"

Ethan: "Yes, but...sometimes...you...make me...want to...throw-up."

Me: "I make you want to THROW-UP?"

Ethan: "Well, just sometimes. Like when you danced with me in Home Depot and then held my hand and ran through the parking lot saying, "whoo hoo". That...well...kind of made me...sick...like I wanted to...throw...up."

Me: "O...K. But, you love me though, right?"

Ethan: "Yes, I DO love you, Mom."

(You just make me want to puke) If he wasn't already so strange I would be offended by this. But, knowing what I know about my crazy kid, I know he loves me.

So Sweet!

Jonah: "Mom I'm going to marry you when I'm big."

Me: "Jonah, that's sweet but I'm already married to Dad."

Jonah: "UUUHHH!"

Me: "Jonah, I'll always be your mom."

Jonah: "Can I marry you after Daddy?"

Me: "Jonah, you don't marry your mom. You marry a girl you think is pretty."

Jonah: "I can't find any pretty girls!"

Me: "You will when your big."

Jonah: "Can I marry the prettiest girl?"

Me: "You can marry the prettiest and the nicest girl. You get to pick."

Jonah: "OK! Mommy, will I be as big as you someday?"

Me: "Yes, you'll probably even be bigger than Daddy!"

Jonah: "OK, but I can't get too big or I'll smash the house!"

Can we just freeze Jonah in time? I'm really going to miss these conversations.

Two Dorks in a Pod

Emmett, my mom, and I were sitting around the table when Emmett does something really dorky....

Me: "You are such a dork! Isn't he a dork mom?"

Mom: "No."

Me: "You don't think so?"

Mom: "How come every time Emmett does something I would do, you call him a dork? Us dorks stick together!"

Truthfully, I love dorks. I am a daughter of a dork and a wife of a dork. I wouldn't have them any other way!

Kicking Butt Time (mine)

I ordered a workout video from a t.v. infomercial. It's called "10 Minute Trainer". I just did it for the first time and it kicked my butt. My body feels like jello. I can hardly type this. I know it will work if I could just do the moves. It's hard and I am a weakling. Sweat was dripping from my fore head. My kids kept wiping it off with a paper towel.

Halloween 2008

We had a really fun Halloween! Here are some cute pics.....
We went to see my 95 year old Grandma Bird. She's so funny!
My mom made this amazing angel costume. Livi was so pretty despite having a cold.
We added a push light to Ethan's Iron Man costume so he would be more authentic. He lit the way through the darkness.
And of course we have Indiana Jonah.
