Way Back When-sday / Say What Wednesday

I am still posting Easter pictures from years before because this year Easter snuck up on me and went away so quickly that I didn't get to post Way back pictures.

When the boys were 10 months I did a photo shoot with them and plastic eggs, bunny ears and Easter baskets. These were some of the pictures from that photo shoot.


Chase eating plastic eggs!

Cody also chewing on a plastic egg, they must taste good!

It seems like when the boys say something funny or bizarre I don't remember it long enough to write it down and play along with Missy and others, but I have been trying to remember little sayings or conversations that Chase and Cody say...

The other morning in the car going to school:

Cody: Chase put on your sunglasses, here comes the sun.

Chase: No, I don't want my sunglasses, I like the sun and I don't want it to go away.

Chase: I am tired of the rain (in a whisper)

(I don't blame him)

In the car, Cody telling me what the racecar will sound like:

Cody: Mom, I think the racecar will sound like a Bang, bang, Squeak, Squeak.

Me: Really? I sure hope we don't have any squeak squeaks in it.

Cody: It going to...

I love listening to Chase and Cody have a conversation between the two of them:

Chase: What do you think the farmer is doing right now?

(I am not sure where this came from, but okay)

Cody: He is feeding the big horses right now. Pretty soon he will feed the little horses.

(Cody then turns into a horse making horse noises)

Chase: Hey horse, when is the farmer going to feed the pig?

Cody: I am the farmer now, I will go and feed the pig now.

Chase: Okay, don't forget to feed the ducks also.

There are so many more conversations like the one above that I just don't remember the whole thing, but I am always like what? where did this come from, or what are they doing?

It is funny...play along also with funny things your kids say here:

We had so much fun with that pool of balls when the boys were about 10 months old. They would play in it for hours. Then we would throw the balls and the balls would be all over the house.

Lately, it's been like pulling teeth to get the boys to clean up their toy messes. But this conversation didn't go the way I wanted it to...

Me: If you don't start picking up your toys now, the ones I pick up I am going to throw away.

Cody: Okay, mom, after I get done playing with this.

Me: No, I mean now. Okay I am going to throw this and this away, because you are not helping pick up toys.

Chase: Can you just throw them all away, then there wouldn't be any toys for me to pick up.

Chase then proceeds to start throwing away toys...

Looking through my pictures and I found this picture for Way Back Wednesday.




This was taken at Sea World in the stables of the Budweiser's Clydesdale's. The boys loved petting this horse. I liked that I was able to have a picture taken with my boys, something that I don't do enough!

This is where I think of the funny things that the boys are saying these days and write them down here. So I can share them with you.

The weatherman is on the TV

Cody: I think it going to snow tomorrow, that what he is saying.

Me: Oh really!

Cody: So we can go ice skating tomorrow and not go to school.

---------------------------------

Chase: We need to hurry so we can catch up to dad.

(Dad has already left the driveway and is down the block when he says this.)

Me: Well, get into your seat and we will...

Chase: I am trying to hurry, but we forgot the rope for dad.

Me: We really don't need a rope do we?

Chase: Yes, how else will we catch him?

Chase brings me his "rope" it's a shoelace.

Chase: Let's go catch dad!

(This is where you know, where you share the funny, sweet & silly things your little ones have said lately)

So I think I might have remembered a few things that the boys have said this week. There has been some fun stuff going on!

Me: Cody lets go and get dressed.
Cody: Why?
Me: Because it's a school day
Cody: Oh Chicken Feathers
(It cracks me up every time he says it)

Cody: When is it going to snow out?
Me: Well, it doesn't really snow where we live.
Cody: Why?
Me: Well, because I just doesn't
Cody: Well, I still wish it was Christmas time so, we could still get some snow.


Okay, I know there are more when I started typing this post, but since I have been interrupted so many times now, I can't remember what they are. I will post this and then update it as I remember the crazy things the boys are saying these days.

I will also start to keep paper handy so I can write then down!

Way Back Wednesday - Injury Alert! - Say What Wednesday!

We about a month away from desert season and we can't wait. Chase and Cody talk about going to the desert all the time! Lots of playing in the dirt and riding bikes!

As I was looking back through the years of pictures, found this one in my desert pictures. The boys got the laundry basket in the motorhome and had too sit in it, like all kids do.

I don't really think that this year that they will be sitting in the laundry basket in the motorhome. I am sure they will be very active and non-stop.

Yesterday, as I was signing the boys out of school, Chase told me that he had bumped his tooth. I look down and not only did he bump his tooth, but chipped it as well. I started asking him questions, "Where did you do it?" "The Castle." (Which is a big plastic play structure on the play ground.) I Asked "Did you cry?" "No." I asked a bunch of other questions, but nothing really came out of it- except a chipped tooth. So I am then asking the teachers for some answers, but no one had any. So now he has a second chipped tooth. Here is his picture from last night.

The right tooth had already been chipped from a fall on our tile about 1 year old or so. The left tooth now has a small point and is chipped on the inside part of the tooth. I will make him a dentist appointment for this week and make sure that the root is okay still.

I have a feeling that the dentist is really going to get to know us. With Cody's dark tooth and now two chipped teeth with Chase. This might be the beginning of a long road of dentist appointments! I am glad that it is only dentist appointments and nothing more serious.

Cody had just walked into the wall and stubbed his toe. I had given him a kiss and told him he was fine. Chase brought him a piece of ice for his toe, and was applying it to the injured toe. He tells Cody that "Cody, you have to be careful, and watch what you are doing." Yes spoken just like his mom.

Way Back Whensday / Say What Wednesday

Missy at Two Little Monkey's has us telling what funny things that our children say!

So this week Steve truck wouldn't start and it needed to be towed to the repair shop. The boys and I waited for the tow truck so Steve could go to work (in the jeep). Cody offered up his suggestion on to why dad's truck was broken. He said "I think dad needs to put fuel in it." Chase also offered up his repair suggestion by finding two old washers on the ground in the school pakring lot and saying "Maybe these fell off daddy's truck and he needs them to fix it." He the put them in his pocket.

I am sure there are many other stories and funny saying, I need to write this stuff down to remember it!

Chase and Cody said some funny things in the last week so I wanted to tell you them before I forgot and I am also playing along with Missy at Two Little Monkeys

This last weekend we went to the river and huge rain, wind, lighting and thunder all around us. We were on the boat heading home, the rain was pouring down on us, Cody and Chase sitting next to me under towels. Cody told me that he wanted to get out and walk. No sorry can't really walk right now. Chase was asleep the whole time.

Yesterday picking up Chase and Cody from school, Cody tells me that someday he will buy me flowers. I told him that that would be very sweet - thank you and I can't wait until that day. (it was a very sweet moment between Cody and I) :) Chase said that that he would buy me a pig. Thanks Son.

Can anyone tell me how I get my font bigger on the words over there ---->

Like the blogs that I read and such is really small.

Say What Wednesday

Have some kind of cute saying's that your child or another adult said that made you say what? or laugh? Play along with Missy at Two Little Monkeys.

At the dinner table, Chase and Cody started telling me about God (they go to a Christian preschool and they are learning about Him). Chase tells me that God is in your chest (putting his hand on his throat). Cody also tells me that same thing a couple of times. I respond by telling them that God is in their chest and heart and He loves them very much. Cody then tells me that God is very hungry and he (Cody) has to eat his meat!

It was very funny at the time and he ate all of his dinner that night.

I finally remembered a couple of funny things from the boys this week:

Chase and Cody have been coming home from school singing new songs that they are learning. The latest one is a new addition.

Them singing:

"Mary had a little man."

"Mary had a little man."

It's a new twist on a old song!!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The second little story is about Cody needing to help. He is my helper child, always there to lend a hand.

So we had a mobile mechanic come to change out our two of out motorhome tires. They bolts and stuff was just too big for Steve to do. So the morning that the mechanic comes, the boys and I are leaving for school/work. Cody gets a little irritated and wants to stay, and tells me "I have to help." "He needs my help."

Yes I am sure that the professional mechanic guy needs a 3 year old to help him...not!! So cute how he is.
