Drinking her strawberry refresher in the backseat. I hear crunching. Me: are you eating the strawberries or the ice? C: well. First, I eat the strawberry and it gets on my fingers, so then I eat a ice to clean them off. *sweet lord, my kids a genius!

Driving to a Halloween party, we were discussing our plans for the night.
Atticus: Excuse me? Everybody calm down! We need to drive faster so we can get there in time for everything!

This is a convo with Carter:
C: mom! Get me carrots! Me: how about asking in a nicer way? C: mom, will you please get me carrots? And you’re beautiful and my dad doesn’t deserve you.
Man, if I get that asking for carrots imagine what I’d get for candy or chocolate?

Pete: It's almost time for bath. Please, let's start picking up our toys. Atticus: No. I don't think that's part of my plan.

Atticus: When I'm 50, I'm going to start eating animals. Me. Why do you think you want to do that? Atticus: I don't know. Maybe I will eat my favorites: cats and snakes.

Atticus: Have you seen my purple swimming lizard? Me: Hmmm, I can't think of a toy you have that's a purple lizard. You have a green lizard. Let's see if we can find him? Atticus: No, that's not it. Me: Okay, you'll have to help me. I'm not sure I know what you're talking about. Atticus: (sighs) It's the purple washcloth, mom! He's our swimming lizard! Xander likes it when I make him climb up the bathtub.

Atticus: Can we teach Sinny how to skateboard? Me: I'm not sure if cats can do that? He walks on a harness, that's pretty neat. Atticus: No, he would be cooler if he could skateboard. Me: Who will teach him? Atticus: I KNOW! We can find a dog who skateboards, and he can teach Sinny.

Pete was looking for the cupcakes that chrisy01 sent home with us yesterday. Pete: where are the cupcakes? Me: I thought you said you didn't want anymore so my mom and I finished them. Pete: no! I didn't say that. Atticus: Dad, you are not using your manners.

Me: Do you like your lettuce wraps? C: yeah, they're so good! Congratulations. Me: oh, um thanks. I'm glad you like them that much to congratulate me on my cooking. C: The congratulations was for the baby. Me: oh. Well thanks.
Later C had his head on my stomach and says, "I'm so excited for the baby. Congratulations."
Clearly he's been hearing everyone say congratulations when they hear I'm pregnant.

You guys probably remember C has talked about this imaginary dinosaur named "Wah" since he could talk. I haven't heard much about him in a bit until today.
I went down to our newly finished basement and there is a ding in the wall. I asked C what happened and he went into this elaborate story about how Wah came in through the window and did it and C saw him. It was pretty amazing actually.

Last night's bedtime:
Me: you are not showing good behavior right now. Santa can see you. C: I don't see a camera anywhere. Look over there, there is no camera. Me: he doesn't need a camera, he's magic. I proceed to sing Santa Claus is coming to town, which she thinks is great. Me: see, so you can't cry and pout. You have to be good and listen to the rules. The bedtime rule is when I say it's bedtime you go to bed. C: yeah, that's funny. Sing it again.

Haha. klong11. We had a similar issue with Elf on the Shelf. Pete: remember, your Elf is watching too see if you're a good listener. Atticus: no, he can't see me. He's turned the other way. He can't watch if he isn't looking at me. Pete: Well, he can still hear you.

C was a hellbeast last night. It started when I picked him up and he wouldn't get in his seat. I had a cookie for him from Panera so I was trying to bribe him.
Me: get in your seat and I will give you the cookie. C: I'm not getting in until I get my cookie Me: Whose the boss here? Me or you? Because I think it's me. C: ::yells loudly:: YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS! ONLY BOSTON IS THE BOSS!!
After I stopped laughing I made a deal to give him the cookie as he got into his seat. Little shit!

Seriously, wedding and cagoldi they are fast thinkers and complete little shits. I took her to Walgreens and she wouldn't leave the toy aisle. So I said, ok, I'm leaving without you, bye! And she yelled "Bye!" and waved at me. The sales associate started laughing. I told Cadence about the Elf that could come and report back to Santa. She said it sounded fun. I said, well, you know, he will tell Santa when you aren't behaving. Santa doesn't bring presents to the naughty children. Her response: "sure, mom, sure". It's like she knows I'm lying.

Matthew sang the entire shiny song in the car. He finished and asked me if I heard him. I said "yes you are such a good singer!" He said "Yea, I really am"

Bedtime talk the other night:
Me: what do you think you want to be when you grow up? C: the leader. Me: where will you live? Will you live with Mommy and Daddy forever? C: uh, no. Me: can Mommy live with you forever? C: no, I'm going to get my own house and be gone and I'm never coming back. Me: you won't visit? C: no, I'm never coming back. Me: that makes me sad C: you should cry. Cry now.
...my kid is harsh.

Atticus (pretending to be me): Okay, sweet baby. Climb into bed and get cozy. We'll do our stories then you must go to bed right away. Me and Daddy will DIE if we don't get enough sleep."

I was putting Matthew in the car and he had such an attitude about everything and I told him I was tired of him fighting me and the attitude. He says "Well I'm tired of YOUR attitude!"

C: Mom! I just saw that baby! You know the one you were talking about yesterday. Me: what baby? C: you know, the one in the story you were saying? Me: Jesus? C: yeah! He was in those people's grass!
Apparently we had driven by someone with a nativity scene in their yard.
