It is the curse of mom bloggers (and maybe bloggers on the whole) to want to take pictures to go along with their stories. I struggle with this, because I feel like I am sending a mixed message to my kids when I tell them "No don't do that" while I am fighting back a smile and taking a picture. So as an attempt to catch some funnies that I decided best to not take pictures off...
-Today after church JJ (size 8-10) came down stairs wearing William's (size 3) sweatpants. I was impressed he was able to fit them on. In all fairness to JJ, they fit like a pair of biker shorts, although I would have thought the elastic cuffs and waist band a bit to tight for my taste.
- Yesterday I walked though the kitchen to find William standing on the counter with the PBH (Peanut Butter and Honey) cupboard open. He was asking (I think himself), "Where's the honey?" When I walked up to him, he casually turned to me and said that (pointing to a mostly empty container of honey) has no honey, where's the honey? Smiling inspite of myself, I looked around and saw the other honey container (we have two smaller one's we refill from bulk bottles of honey) over by the stove. I pointed to it (I do not have a voice right now due to sickness) and he giggled and hopped down to get it.

A daisy by any other name, would smell as sweet...wait
Conversation with Andrew after he finished cleaning the kid's bathroom. The bathroom had a lot of globs of dried toothpaste (guess who is one of the biggest offenders of spilling toothpaste?).
Mom: Andrew that bathroom sure looks great. You did a good job.
Andrew: Thanks mom, I really got my back into it.
Mom: ?..oh, you really put your back into it?
Andrew: Yeah, there is lots of elbow grease in that one.
Mom: Oh, you used a lot of elbow grease?
Andrew: Yep, it is clean because of my back and elbow grease.
Mom: Well, you did a great job.
Andrew: Mom, can we discuss it at family counsel?
Mom: Discuss what Andrew?
Andrew: That people need to clean up a mess after they make it, not leave it there for it to dry.
Mom, smiling: Sure Andrew. I think that would be a great.
PS Andrew did a great job in family council explaining how hard he had to scrub and scrape to get the toothpaste off and how simple it would be for everyone (he and JJ) to use less toothpaste as well as clean up right after a spill if you make a mess.
It always makes me giggle with my vocabulary-affluent children use euphemisms that are not stated correctly. It usually catches me off guard, then makes me smile. Another one Andrew uses a lot is "squashed like a tomato". He is often reminded that it a grape, not tomato, but for the life of me, I can't figure out why tomato hasn't caught on.
