Notable Moments

We were playing on the SpiderMan Slip & Slide that they got for their birthday. (By the way, if you hold a 4 year old boy by the back of his swimsuit and give a good swing, you can chunk 'em all the way to the end of a Slip & Slide at great speed!) Asa had to pee-pee, so he want behind a tree. When he came back, his swimsuit was completely off. I asked him what he was doing. He said, "I think the Slip & Slide will work better without my bathing suit on". I'm sure it would.

Yesterday at the pool, Addison swam and did a "barrell roll"... he flipped 360 degrees and kept swimming. After a few rolls, he wouldn't stop talking about it. We heard "Did you see me roll?" "Wasn't my roll cool?" "My roll was cool, wasn't it?" "I rolled, can I call Daddy and tell him how cool it was?" for the next hour.

While we were sitting on the lounge chairs having a snack, Addison said to me, "What is the kind of paper that has a lot of words on it?" Looking around, I saw the Rules sign and took a guess that he was talking about it. "A sign?" "The rules?" I guessed? "Hmmm.... no.... the news... the newspaper. We should put that I rolled in the newspaper so all the people will know!"

The other day, the boys and I were in line at the CVS drive-thru when Asa says, "Are Aidan, Bryson, and Carson triplets?" I told him they were. "I think they are a turkey, then!" If this one confuses you, keep in mind that the boys have been bowling on our Nintendo Wii.

Grandmomma and Granddaddy have a decorative basket on their hearth, full of old pecans, hazelnuts, all kinds of nuts in the shell. Theyaren't edible anymore, just decoration. The boys have played with these since they were little tiny. Sometimes, they ask if they can eat them. Grandmomma and Granddaddy always just tell them that they are old, so they can't eat them.

One day, out of the blue, Asa tells me, "Grandaddy has old nuts!" I'm hoping I'm the only one he told that one to!
