Sounds from my House…

-
Life at our house, in a nutshell:

G: There’s a hole in my jacket. I’m pretty sure I got shot. I’m super proud of myself for not dying.
M: That’s a burn from a campfire ember. Not a bullet wound.

J: Mommy, we need to go in bacation.
M: That would be fun. But we don’t have our stuff ready to go on vacation.
J: We go get our stuff weady. Den we go in bacation. We have to. We have to go wight now!

G: Do you know anyone that has $300?
M: Most people have $300.
G: And they’re not rich???

While playing pirates with Gabe…
J: The pirates are going to die me! (Kill me) They’re going to take their sword out a der pockets and sword me on da foor! 

J: My wunch (lunch) is too heavy. Me can’t cawy (carry) it. We need to go home and take out some of my wunch.

Josy was making a very obnoxious noise in the car.
M: Josy! Stop. What are you doing? It’s very loud.
J (matter of factly): Me making woud (loud) noise in da car.

I was singing along to a song on the radio. The song ended, the dj said something and another song started just as we pulled in where we were going. However, I was still singing the song when I got Josy out of his  car seat.
J: Mommy stop singing! The wady (lady) alweady talked.

And tonight Gabe was drinking water out of a lemon. Because why not?

Easter Eggs and Cars

My friend had surgery again, so her two kids are staying with us, which had been fun. It definitely has made our house fuller…and noisier… But they’re good kids and we’ve had a lot of fun. Monday we dyed Easter eggs. Josy ended up not participating, but the other three had a great time. Gabe was very proud of his special egg, where he painted the three crosses. The next day, Josy got to dye eggs with Cathy and Gabe missed out, so it all evened out. Also, Josy dyed eggs at school on Wednesday, so we have lot of eggs around here… Then the kids all made cars for Awana. Luckily I’d just gotten two very large Amazon boxes for a work project, and they worked perfectly. So we had several days of construction and lessons about knife skills. And now we have two very large cars taking up the majority of the living room… But they’re very proud of them and are having entirely too much fun with them.

A Very Cold Day

We had another round of ski lessons yesterday. Unfortunately, it was cold. Very, very cold. Realistically it was just the wind chill. We would have been fine skiing in the teens, but the wind knocked it down and extra 15 degrees and that was too much. Pat and I took our gear, but decided it was way too cold, so we hung out in the lodge waiting for the boys.  A half hour into the lesson, I got a call from a friend that works up there that Josy was in the office. He’d made it a half hour before deciding that it was too cold to ski. So he hung out in the lodge with us. Gabe made it the whole time and didn’t want to quit to come inside. But Pat told him no and as soon as he came in, he realized that his fingers and ties were numb.  We ate lunch and then headed home. Hopefully the weather will be more pleasant next weekend…

A Car Wash

Spring is finally here and it feels so good!! I mean, it still freezes overnight, which makes for sound very cold morning runs, but then it’s warm during the day. In fact, it was so warm, that Gabe wanted to run in the sprinkler. Pat had screwed the sprayer on so tight that I couldn’t get it off, which was the only reason he didn’t… Instead he decided to wash the car. I’m not going to say that the quality of the car wash was the best, but I will not complain about a kid wanting to wash my car. Yesterday there was a sports team doing a car wash fundraiser and I was going to take the car in, but Gabe was proud of his washing job, so we didn’t. I think my car is going to look like this for a while… Then we got dinner at the food trucks and headed home for a fire and s’mores.
