Things Kids Say

Coe: Mommy, Mac just kicked me in the penis

Me: I’m sorry.  You two need to be careful.

Coe: It hurts, and I need you to kiss it.

Me: (Speechless)

****************************

Mac and Coe were talking about ages.

Albi: Coe how old do you think I am

Coe: 50

(I snicker)

Albi: how old do you think mommy is

Coe (with no hesitation): 55

(Very loud snicker from Albi)

*Why I love my MIL – When I told her this story she quickly explained that Coe’s response meant he thought I was better than Albi.  She said when Albi was little he thought whoever was the oldest was the best.  Shaw was older and always claimed to be better.  Fil was a few years younger than his sister, and Albi could not understand why as he thought his daddy was the best and must be the oldest.  I’m going with this explanation as it is much cheaper than running out to get Botox and plastic surgery!

Coe: Mommy I don't wuv (love) you I wittle (little). I wuv (love) you way too much!

After listening to I’m Proud to be an American by Lee Greenwood about 100 times on the 4th of July, Mac asked about 100 Qs…

What is an American?  What is the USA?  Where do we live?  Who died for us?  Why?  Why did the soldier have to fight for us?  What is freedom?  Who doesn’t like us?  Why did we have to fight?  What things is he not going to have tomorrow?  Why? Why? Why?

I better closely censor what he hears…

Blue Angels

On a last minute whim I decided to take the boys to the Friday Blue Angel show.  Since parking is normally a nightmare people start heading to the beach at the crack of dawn, and this year was no exception.  Radio stations were reporting the main beach parking lot was full by 9:30am, and this was only the practice show!  Thankfully dad and Gena moved their cars, so we could park in their spots.  We headed to the beach around noon and never hit traffic. – a major plus when traveling with two little boys! 

The boys LOVED watching the show, and we will definitely make this an annual event…as long as we can go to Papou and Gigi’s condo.  Air conditioner, a bathroom and a guaranteed parking spot make watching the Blues with children much more enjoyable! 

4th of July and the Staycation

I love when the 4th falls on a Friday.  The boys and I spent all morning at home cooking, baking and preparing for the weekend.  Then we met Daddy and lots of friends at the Country Club for swimming, a cookout and fireworks.  And at the end of the night we drove 30seconds to Yaya and Coste’s and settled in for our staycation weekend!  We spent the next 2 days cooking, eating and swimming in the pool.  The weather was great and the holiday weekend was relaxing.  It was great never having to get in a car and spending two full days with some of my favorite people!
