The things they say...

It seems I can't go through one day without laughing at once of the silly things they say.  For example tonight Michael was coloring his Abraham Lincoln picture green at the table and asked, "Mom, what is today?"  I replied that today is Monday and he responded, "Oh good because I only like green on Monday."  And I only like blue on Friday.  Good thing today isn't Friday huh mom?"

And example number 2:  It was obvious that on this President's Day (a non-holiday for mom and dad) at school the boys must have had a lot of one on one attention.  Michael came home with a color book of Abraham Lincoln and he told a story about Lincoln grew up in a small cabin, he became a lawyer and then the 15th President of the United States.  I was a little blown away as I honestly couldn't recite half of the history facts my 3 year old had just shared with me.  Then later at shower time tonight Michael said "Mom, I'm going to be the President of the United States when I grow up."  I said, "Wow, Michael, that would be great!  You can be anything you want to be."  He then followed up his profound statement with the following.  "Well first, I'm going to be a Pirate and then I'll be a President, okay mom?"

And it isn't just Michael with all the comedic remarks... tonight Gabriel accompanied Dad and Jack on their nightly walk.  Gabriel was insistent on stopping by our neighbors house.  Andy, Barb and their two girls are some of the boy's favorite people to visit.  We are lucky to have such great neighbors and they truly spoil the boys, bringing over gifts it seems once a week.  Gabriel decided he just HAD to stop at their house to tell them he is going to play baseball and that he is going to Kindergarten.  Dad decided it was okay, since we needed to thank them for the gifts they had just brought the boys last night, so they stopped and since Andy was still at work, Barb, the girls, Gabriel and Daddy had a nice a visit.  Upon leaving their house Gabriel turned to Jarrett and said, "Daddy I really like them.  Do you think sometime Kinsey (age 11), Kendall (age 13) and Barb (the mom) can come have a sleepover with Me?"

Until next time,
