Funny things

Scott has this cool Jimi Hendrix t-shirt that he likes to wear.  When the grocery store clerk said "Cool shirt, dude" Scott replied "Yes, it's Jimi Hendrix.  He didn't take very good care of his body so he died but we saved his music."  That little dude is so funny.

I also think my maternity clothes brands are super funny.  There's "Oh, Baby!", "Mum's the Word", "Pea in the Pod", "Duo", and "Maternite (with an accent over the last e)".  Silly.

Scott at 3.3333 years

Scott says the greatest things lately.

While holding two plastic guns: 
"My guns are FEARIOUS! My guns are ELECTRIC!  My guns will GIVE YOU OWIES!  If you are a bad guy."

Talking to his preschool teacher who was giving him special painting time:
"(Audible sigh.) I am just really loving you right now."

Talking to me after I carried him out of bed to go look at the moon one night:
S "That was so fun Mom."
M "Scott, you know I love you?  Higher than the highest mountain!" (see, there's this book about a baby owl and his mom who say things like that)
S "I love you taller than the tallest tree!"
M "I love you louder than the loudest drum!"
S "Oh.  I would play that drum."

Overheard from Scott

We want our boys to be aware of what they eat, but I think we may have taken this whole carnivore thing a little too far.

Playing in the kitchen on Saturday morning, Scott holds up a little toy cow.
Me: Scott, this is the mommy cow.  See her udders? 
Scott: Where her baby?
Me: Yes, where is her baby calf?
Scott: Daddy COOK it!  Take baby, put in microwave, HAMBURGER!
Me: ... ... ... oh.  Do you like hamburgers?
Scott: Yes! Sometimes I eat, sometimes I not.  Daddy COOK it!

Later, swinging at the park, we are talking about books and I ask Scott what he likes to read:
Scott: Chickens.
Me: You like to read about chickens?
Scott:  No, I like to EAT chickens.

Whoa.

Since that's not very Valentine's-y, let me leave you with something a little sweeter:

Mark is such a cute napper.  I start snapping photos.

The camera is a little loud.  He awakes.

And smiles.  What a doll.

xoxo to all.

Overheard in our courtyard

A theological discussion between Scott and our 2 year old neighbor, P:

Scott:  "I Scott!"
P: "You Sgod!"
Scott: "No, I not god.  I Scott."
P: "Yes, you Sgod."
Scott: "I NOT god."
P: "You SGOD!"
Scott: "No, I NOT GOD! I SCOTT!"
. . . ad infinitum.

Overheard in our house

Jenn asks: "Luke, can I throw these old license plates in the trash?"

Luke gives a thoughtful pause and answers: "Yes.  They are not radioactive."

Another long pause.  Luke: "Why are you laughing?  That's my criterion for whether something can go in the garbage!"
