Funny things

So here are some funny/interesting things going on here.

The difference between Morgan and Austin.

The other night I called the kids in for dinner and they wanted to keep playing so I said, "fine." Well when they came in I was trying to get Ashdon to sleep and so I couldn't get their dinner for them right then. Well Morgan sits there and whines I'm so hungry, I can't wait. Well Austin bounds down the stairs and I asked where he was going. He says, "To get my own dinner of course!" He's a go getter and won't wait for me. He'll take care of himself. We've always said we could leave all the kids here for a week without us and Aden and Morgan would starve to death and Austin would survive.

Maryn was taking care of Ashdon while I finished up Austins reading lesson. (By taking care of I mean she was entertaining him while he was still in his bed) She put her doll in the crib oh did I fail to mention that it was in a large stroller, and every other toy imaginable. Then she comes running out with his blanket wrapped behind her back yelling I'm Suppppper Rynnnners!!

Last night in the middle of the night she threw up. When I went to clean up her bed I noticed that she had tried to clean up her own puke with a towel from the closet. How sad is that. Cute too.

Right before she went to bed she was crying because she wanted popcorn. Well she'd already brushed her teeth and it was time for bed so I said "firmly" Maryn go upstairs get your jammies and go to bed right now. She ran off crying but came back down with her jammies and stammering says, "Mommy, I don't like you screaming at me (and I promise I didn't scream at her)." I said, "Well you need to listen and it's time to go to bed." And in little sobs, "I just really want some popcorn." All in all I'm glad I didn't let her have that goldfish were nasty enough to clean up the second time around.

Austin smelled the popcorn and this is the conversation Adam overheard. Austin was talking to Aden. "Dad made popcorn and we just brushed our teeth. Why do they always make popcorn after we go to bed. I loovve popcorn."

Always Comical Here!!

We've had some fun. Grandma and Grandpa were here for Adrianne's production. It was fun to have them here. Thank you mom for all of your wonderful help here around the house. It was a huge relief. I'm feeling better but not quite up to par so this is just another post of the little comedians in my life. I was having one of those bad days and had to throw up. I'm usually in the kitchen when this happens so I just throw up in the sink. As I'm throwing up Maryn brings a stool over to the sink (to get a better look I guess) and then laughs every time I dry heave. It was great. Also the other day I threw up with all the kids in the kitchen and not a single one seemed to even notice or care. Aden kept asking me questions and Morgan plainly states, "Oh, mom's throwing up." Well thanks for the love! There's a little song the kids sing that goes, down down baby I can do karate, etc. Well Austin likes to sing Dam Dam baby. I corrected him but he said no it's dam dam. Austin gave a talk in church today. It was on Following the prophet. He was great. He of course said what I told him to say and then sang solo the chorus to the song Follow the Prophet. The other night I left to go to book club and as I'm backing out of the driveway I hear screaming (mind you the windows in the van were all closed so it must have been pretty loud) I roll the window down and see Austin in his upstairs bedroom window crying, Mom, where are you going. I tell him. Still crying, "I love you mom, come back mom. I love you mom." I'm not sure what the neighbors think of us. We went to Ward FHE and during the lesson all of the kids sit up front. Well Austin kept turning around and waving to Adam continuously through the whole thing. The teacher kept calling on him because he thought he had something to say. That boy loves his daddy. The other day I asked him to go upstairs to get me a diaper and he screams, "stop asking me to do that, Ugh!" So I looked at him and said, "Okay, stop asking for food, and chocolate milk, and I won't make dinner or lunch, oh and don't ask me to wipe your but when your done going pooh!" He said, "Oh, okay, I'll get the diaper." He learned a lot faster than the other kids that's for sure. Morgan is more of my drama queen rather than a comedian so everything is just dramatic. When she gets hurt don't worry I think all of Las Vegas can hear her screaming. Well that's all for now.

Funny Moments

I just wanted to add some funny things my kids have said or done. We were driving and there was a motorcyclist driving a little crazy. Aden says, "It must be a woman driving because it's all crazy." It was a man. Austin was in the tub with Maryn and she pooped so they got out. While Adam was putting them in the other tub Austin says, "Dad, Maryn went poop this way and then she went poop and she pooped out a raisin Dad. A RAISIN....(laughing hysterically)!" Maryn would babble aimlessly and then bend over mouth wide open laughing and wait for me to do the same. I actually started laughing for real because it was so cute. Morgan should write for mad libs. See if you can figure it out. to mom, i hop u fl bdr.
