Josyisms

-






Josy is a funny little boy. The things that come out of his mouth are the best. And sometimes he describes things in a really funny way. Yesterday we went on a bike ride and there was a worm on the plastic wind cover, but he kept telling me that there was a worm on the windshield and it took me a while to figure it what he was talking about. I thought he saw a stick on a car’s windshield that we drive past…

J: We need to get out our Halloween decorations.

M: Oh, we already did.

J: Where are they???

M: We don’t have any. So they’re already out.

J: We need to get some!

M: No. I don’t do anything scary.

J: It’s not scary. It’s just a pot.

M: What?

J: The pot at Home Depot, with the fake blood. We need to get it.

M: No

J: It does not give me nightmares. The guy with the beak and the goggles, that gave me nightmares.

J: It would be cool if my lunchbox had batteries! Then I could play video games!

M: That would be weird.

J: Not weird. Awesome. Then I could play video games all the time. Video games on the toilet. Video games when I’m building magnatiles. Video games when I’m watching tv. And it would be minecraft.

J: Mom. Is this zero and a half?

————

M: Josy, let’s go for a bike ride.

J: No! No bike ride!

M: Well, I need to do a workout and it should be outside because it’s nice.

J: You can do pushups outside in the grass.

Josy has stopped sitting next to one of his friends at school. So I asked him about it.

M: Why don’t you want to sit next to P?

J: I like her, but I don’t want to sit next to her. I love her, but I don’t want to marry her.

————

He keeps walking saying asking everyone if they like his “cute hat.” And yes, it is cute. But 4th grade boys at school aren’t really your target audience for that question.

———-

Last week at church, I couldn’t find him before the service started. It turns out that he’d found one of the grandmas and asked her to read him a story. No grandma can resist that.

He certainly makes my life more entertaining. He’s the best.

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.
