Conversations of the day!

Mike and I took the boys and went to my parents' house this morning to put some mulch in their flower beds. The boys decided to run around with the toy fire trucks. One of the times they came by Jordan said "Ewwww, Mommy, that smells like cow poop!" Yes dear it does. Not much else you can say to that.

While we were cleaning things up Jordan came running up to me so excited to show me something he had found. He was holding something on his finger. At first I thought it was a worm. When I looked a little closer I realized it was a slug. EWWWWWW. I got the creeps thinking of that nasty thing crawling around. He put it down on the driveway. Every time Dominic got close to it Jordan would say "No! It's mine! I found it, It's my pet!" When Jordan showed it to Grandma, she told Jordan to wait just a minute and went in the house. She came back with the salt shaker and told Jordan he could feed it some salt. So Jordan shook it and then Dominic had a turn too. As the boys watched it moving, Grandma told them "look, it's telling you thank you." Jordan didn't believe her.

Dominic came up to me and said "I want to show you something" as he reaches for my arm. Next thing I know he is licking my arm. I pull it away and he bust up laughing. He tries again -- but I am not going to fall for it twice even though he looked me in the eye and promised not to lick me again. Little stink!

As we were driving around we noticed around some trees all the blossom that had fallen from the trees. The white blossoms looked like snow. When we saw the ground covered in pink blossoms the question was asked: "If yellow snow is caused by pee, how do you get pink snow?" There was no comment.

It is amazing how intelligent our children are. They remind us on a daily basis that they know so much more than we do. During one of the those times, when Jordan was telling me I was wrong, I asked him if he was going to argue with me. He started rambling, "No, .... can't go on a daddy/daughter date ... and then we'll get a new mommy ..." I looked at Mike and asked him if was going to fill me in. He looked at me and said sure as soon as he was filled in.

Jordan came up to me and proceeded to pinch my bum. He then busted up laughing and said "Daddy taught me!"

The boys and I go back and forth, I tell them they are my little stink bugs, they come back with whatever pops in their heads at the time. It could be a "you're a tractor" then I come back with something else. I think elephants, tigers, snakes, monkeys, were brought up to name a few. When I was getting them out I told them they were both frogs and they needed to hop to the door. It was the cutest thing, Dominic got down and proceeded to hop like a frog and even said "ribbit". I informed Jordan he was confused because he was hopping like a rabbit. They both hopped their way to the front door and I laughed.

Mike and I were leaving a store to go and pick our kids up at my parents' house and he was eating mini peanut butter cups. He looks at me and tells me "they can't be all that bad for you because they are made with peanut butter." I just busted up laughing.
