I picked the boys up from school yesterday and Camden was sitting in the corner. I looked at the teacher alarmed and asked if he was in "time out?" She said "No! Of course not!" His stomach was bothering him so he just sat aside for a while." I said "Oh good! He's the son I don't worry about getting into trouble." I pointed at a devilishly grinning cow and said "now this one on the other hand...). The teacher looked at me incredulously and questioned "Kellan?! He's an absolute angel! When other kids are misbehaving he even tries to help the teachers out!" I grabbed the boys and all that was left of us was our shadows that were too slow to catch up...
I went to Kellan's school room to pick him up. I looked around and didn't see his big head. I saw the teacher sitting on the floor and Kellan was dramatically laying on her lap. I looked quizzically at the teacher and she gave me a "he's being dramatic look" back.
We're almost moved into the new house. We asked the boys what they thought of it. Here are the responses;
Camden: "I love it!"
Kellan: "It looks like candy!"
So much for making me feel like super mom... or even decent Mom. Camden came home with a raw runny nose yesterday and said "Mom, I had a runny nose all day. Will you take care of me?" Like it was something I may have forgotten to do if he didn't remind me...
Our new house is a little smaller than what we've been used to, so all our voices echo - especially while we're still moving stuff in. Kellan was being so loud so I yelled (of course) for him to stop yelling. He yelled back "I'M NOT YELLING, I'M JUST LOUD!"
Now that Camden and Kellan are getting used to their new school, we asked them if they had girlfriends. Kellan immediately said "Kelsey!" and Camden replied "I have boyfriends"...

Kellan didn't listen and I told him it hurt my feelings when he doesn't obey me. He asked which feeling it hurt.
As I was getting ready for work, Kellan came running into the bathroom cracking up. He said "I fell off the bunk bed ladder and bonked my head." I asked him if he was ok, and he said no and continued belly laughing...
Here are Kellan's stats;
24 lbs
2 feet 9 inches tall
Head measuring in at 51.1
Me: Kellan it's your turn to go to Church this Sunday
Kellan: I'll go, but if there's a lot of red lights I'm staying home
Kellan kept asking me where we were going. I told him, we're getting on the highway right now. He repied "so we can go really high?"
The boys call the American Flag the "American State Flag". And they call tattoo's "captoos". We've given up trying to correct them...
Close to bedtime Camden looked at me and said "let's start getting settled down. You go take out your contacts and I'll go sit on the couch."
Camden: Liar Liar Pants on Fire
Kellan: No! My pants are so cold. Don't be rude

Kellan kept yelling out "BULLOVERT!" I had no idea what he was talking about until Camden corrected him. "You mean BULLDOZER, Kellan".
I asked the boys what they had for lunch at school. They both said nothing. I tried everything to get them to tell me what they had and still got nothing. Finally, Camden told me they had salmon. It's a good school and everything, but I doubt they're serving salmon for lunch...
We passed a graveyard and Kellan yelled "There's Jesus on the cross!" Camden shook his head disdainfully and said "No, Kellan. We're not in Calvary"...
It was starting to storm so it was pretty dark on our way home from school. From the backseat, Kellan was saying "the trees are going to sleep, the cactus are going to sleep, the houses are going to sleep..." and then "the french fries are going to sleep". I don't know about this kid.
On the way home from school the boys talk non stop. Sometimes I can't understand exactly what Kellan is saying, but I'll reply "Oh, ok" anyway. I got caught yesterday when Camden asked me what Kellan said. Kellan looked at me expectantly to repeat what he had said as obviously I knew since I had responded. And of course Camden won't drop it. I finally said "Radio Time!" and flipped on 104.7.

On the way home from school yesterday Kellan announced that when Camden was little, he (Kellan) was in the clouds with the airplanes. (Insert panic attack here as I don't know where he came up with this). I asked him if he saw God. He said "Yes, and He has a hair cut like me. And His favorite song is ABCD Dinosaur!" I don't know what to take from this...
Also on the way home (this was a very eventful ride) Kellan yelled "I see Grammy!" I looked around for Grammy's truck as this was entirely possible as we take the same way home from work. I didn't see anything similar to a black truck when Kellan announced "And I see green beans!" No comment.
Same ride home (I told you it was eventful!), and Kellan started singing "5 little fishies swimming in the sea. One fell down and died". I gasped and said "Kellan! We don't talk like that!" He replied "Well, that's what happened".
When the boys say something funny and I'm driving, I'll use the Siri feature on my phone to email myself what they said to remind me to put it on the blog. (Don't judge me. I'm 36 and have no memory). Camden couldn't stand it that I kept talk emailing myself funny things Kellan was saying. I could see the wheels turning in his head. Finally he said "Eenie Meenie Miny Moe! Mom, was that funny?" I said yes so he said "Will you call that girl (Siri) and tell her what I said?"

An actual text from Granfy while he and Grammy were watching the boys;
An actual text from Grammy while she and Granfy were watching the boys;
"Now Kellan is screaming, "CAMMEN, I want more cock corn!"
Camden came up to me the other day and said, "Mom, can I ask you a favorite?"
Kellan was being kind of shy when he got up this morning. Camden said "Mom, Kellan just wants to be adorable."
Another actual text from Grammy;
"Your children will tell us everything just like you guys did to Grandma and Grandpa Gall. LOL they just told us that Grammy didn't talk nice to Mommy.
"Camden just strolled into the living where I Was watching
the Lions! He put Tom and Jerry into the player and said, ok Granfy, enough
football. I want to watch Tom and Jerry! All you have to do is press play.
Granfy, can you make some popcorn!!' Guess who is eating popcorn and watching
Tom and Jerry!'Lol"

It is so funny how different Camden and Kellan are even though they're so close in age. Kellan still wears a pull up overnight, but we tell him if he has to go potty to get up and go to the bathroom. Last night the bathroom light flicked on, the toilet seat banged up and there was a waterfall sound. I checked and Kellan was just going potty in the middle of the night all by himself. I told him to wait for me to go and I would put him back to bed. Before I finished peeing he was already back in bed and covered up. Now when Camden has to go potty in the middle of the night it's an entirely different story. First, there is a loud whine from the boys room. When one of us can finally get in there to get Camden, we have to get him out of the top bunk and sit in the bathroom with him while he goes. And of course he wants to have a lengthy conversation. I can barely see him without my contacts in let alone want to hold a conversation at 2am. Then, we have to lift Camden back into bed and pat his butt until he falls asleep again. And if he happened to come up with some good conversation while in the bathroom, this conversation continues while you're trying to get him to go back to sleep...
The boys and I were talking on the way home from school the other day. Camden was talking about his birthday, and I said "Camden, you were born on the 11th day of October in 2009." I looked in the rear view mirror and saw him face palm...
The boys were playing in the toy room. Camden came out and informed me that Kellan is one crazy kid. Tell me something I don't know!
I was trying to discipline Camden and kept yelling at him. I finally said, "Camden, I don't want to yell at you. I just want you to listen to me." He replied, "Mom, I'm just a child". My turn to face palm.
Conversation between Kellan and I;
Kellan: Mom, what does underwear start with
Me: U
Kellan: You or me?
Kellan: What does pants start with
Me: P
Kellan: I didn't pee my pants!
Nick was leaving for work and called bye to the boys who were in the toy room. Camden yelled "Bye Dad! I miss you already!"
There is a leftover party favor in my car. A birthday hat from Alexandria's birthday party last month. Every morning I take the boys to school, Camden silently puts the hat on. This has been happening for months. I don't mention it either. It's kind of like the elephant in the room...
Kellan is always asking if that's a bad "work" (word). I don't know where his accent comes from.
At Chili's, they have mini iPad type games for the kids to play. The boys just love them. There's an alphabet game where letter 'n' stands for nibble. It's a gingerbread man and as you touch his arms, legs, etc., they disappear. Like they're being "nibbled" away. Camden thinks it's hilarious to get the gingerbread man down to just his beedee beedee and yell this out to the whole restaurant. My laughter probably doesn't help.
Camden kept saying he "catched" the ball. I kept correcting him saying, "we say 'caught' the ball". He said "catched" a few more times. I exasperatedly said "CAUGHT!" He looked at me and said, "Mom, I say what I say".
Morbid little Kellan likes to watch car crashes on YouTube. He asked Grammy to put some on for him, but for some reason didn't like the ones Grammy came up with. Grammy told Kellan he had to tell her more so she could figure out what he wanted. Kellan replied, "more car crashes".
Kellan had jean shorts on yesterday (funny in itself) and came running up to me cracking up. He laughed and said "my shorts have pockets on the butt! That's so gross!"
