March 29th, 2016

Camden: Mom? Can I please have that apple juice I asked for?
Me: Oh shoot! I'm sorry, honey, I forgot!
Camden: How could you forget I'm your children?

Kellan was engrossed in the iPat (go figure) and I asked him to come get dressed. His reply? "I love you too!"..

I swear Kellan is going to be a Nascar announcer when he grows up. He commentates every race. He was watching a race on - wait for it - the iPat, and the announcer mispronounced a name and said "Excuse me". Kellan absolutely lost it. I have never seen him laugh so hard. I was trying to explain that the announcer didn't say excuse me because he shot a duck, but that did not work for Kellan. He was convinced it was a duck...

When I told Kellan I thought he might grow up to be a Nascar announcer, Camden said, "Yea, Kellan! You can be a Nascar pronouncer!"

One of Kellan's random thoughts out loud. "Why am I a cow, Camden's a monkey and no one is a rhinoceros?"...

Camden asked what a mutt was. I explained to him why some dogs are called mutts. I also explained to him that people can be considered mutts as well because we come from a long line of ancestors from all over the world. Camden pondered this and said, "I'm a mutt then because I used to live in Anthem!"...

Camden tooted, laughed and said, "I can't believe I did that on Easter morn!"

The boys were so excited that the Easter Bunny came. They asked me if Torrey got to see the Easter Bunny. I said, "probably!" As they ran around the house hunting for eggs, Kellan said, "If we still had 'Scuse Me, he probably would have got the Easter Bunny fired!" Ha!

Camden told me if he has a daughter, he'll name her Bella. If he has a son, he'll name him Cam. I think that would be so cool, but that better be a long long way off!

We were at Buffalo Wild Wings, and a piece of food fell out of Kellan's mouth. He looked down cheerfully and exclaimed, "I guess that wasn't a throat piece!"...

While some of Kellan's random out loud thoughts may be a little odd, this was one of my favorites. "I'm proud of you, Mom! You're u-tiful!" BEAM!

Camden was in a mood - asking me to get him dressed, and I said, "Camden, come on! You're acting like a child!" I immediately turned so he wouldn't see my face and thought, well that wasn't the best comment. He wouldn't let me get away with that one. He said, laughingly, "I AM a child!" FAIL

At swim, we got a snack afterward and Kellan grabbed it from the guy without saying thank you. I sternly said, "Kellan, what do you say?" He looked up at the guy and said, "Mom has no money.". Now, while this is true, let me explain. All the kids in line ahead of us were asking their parents for money for a snack. The boys asked and I said I have no money. What they didn't realize is I have an account set up at swim school, so I don't have to use cash. Sigh...

March 25th, 2016

Happy Birthday Month to meeeee! :)

I asked Kellan if he said thank you. He replied, "I said thanks 'cause that's another word for please!"...

Kellan was all smiles talking to himself. Then he asked, "is anybody home?" I don't know Cowbell, I just don't know... ;)

Me: I can't find my phone!
Kellan: At least your name is Carrie!  What?...


Camden was pretending to shoot a gun, so we asked him if he'd ever seen a real gun. Kellan said, "I've never seen a real bear!"...


Kellan: Mom! I want to ask you one more 'queskion'
Me: AAAAAAAA! Go to bed!
Kellan: How old are you going to be?
Me: 38
Kellan: Are you going to die at that number?
Me: Open mouth - insert Xanax...

The Dr. asked the boys what school they go to. Camden answered correctly. She asked Kellan what school he went to and he said "Room 9"...

Kellan had a little virus this week. I told him I was going to take him to the doctor and he said he didn't have to go because he was only 'medium' sick. Then he proceeded to tell me the kinds of sick there are. All levels of sickness require iPAT watching of course...

I asked Kellan if he had a headache. He said he had a 'hay day'. Life's a hay day for this cow...

When I check on the boys during the night if they talk in their sleep or are tangled in their blankets I tell them about it the next morning. I told Kellan he was snoring last night. He informed me that when he snores that means he had a good day!

Me: Kellan, I'm so glad you came into my life!
Kellan: I'm so glad you're u-tiful
Me: Secretly passing Kellan all the candy he wants

Camden yelled angrily from the backseat, "MOM! Kellan called me Santa!" I couldn't help but burst out laughing. I asked him why that would make him so mad? He replied, "I don't want to take away his magic!" I honestly thought he was going to say, "I don't want to use his name in vain!"

Camden was trying to get Kellan to guess the color of the crayon in his hand. Camden said, "It starts with V and ends with T". Kellan had a light bulb go off and yelled proudly, "I know! Purple!"...

March 16th, 2016

Kellan went from having no idea to any of the kids names in his class to knowing all of them. He was telling me an animated story about his friend Austin. He said Austin and kind of laughed. He said, "that's his real name. Well, his real name is not realname, but just Austin, well, not justaustin, but loooong pause "Austin" looong pause. That's it!" He was so proud of himself for getting Austin's name correct...

Kellan was in rare form this morning. Camden grinned, looked at me and said, "Kellan's 5 now, but he's still acting 4!"

Kellan came running out proudly and said, "I know what's in a turtle!". Camden and I replied, "what?". He yelled "TURTLE GUST!". Camden pensively replied, "I think you mean turtle GUTS". Kellan absolutely disagreed and said, "TURTLE GUST!" the rest of the day...

In the car, I gave the boys a little pep talk, reminding them they had to be really good today. Kellan sat up straight and said, "Good? I'm on it!".

March 9th, 2016

According to Kellan, the NFL team is called the Grandpa Bay Buccaneers. At least he's trying to get into football! Yay!

Kellan is really getting into reading. (Don't tell anyone, but I like him getting into football more). He'll spell a word from a book in the backseat of the car, and then ask me what it says. Today, for some reason, he read every letter of an entire sentence. I could not keep up. I said, "Kellan! You have to tell me when there are spaces between the words so I can tell what you're reading". He responded, "ok, space space space space space space space." There are 7 spaces in that sentence. Sigh...

Kellan and I had a fun day today, but we were in the car a lot. He finally said, "Mom, I'm not carsick, I'm people sick". Just like me! Beam!

We passed a vet's office, and Kellan asked me if they saw dogs there to make them better. I said "Yes! And cats and maybe birds too". Then he said wisely, "and probably camels too"...

Camden grunted while putting his shoes on this morning. I whipped around to look at him, and he sighed and said, "I'm getting old". Oh kid, you have nooo idea... Oh and don't worry, I'll see the chiropractor tomorrow for whipping around so quickly to laugh at my kid...

The boys love "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi. Life has come full circle. While the three of us were jamming to the song, Kellan started giggling uncontrollably - which in turn made all of us laugh uncontrollably. I asked Kellan why he was laughing. When he could finally get it out he said, "The guy says 'take my hand'. If we take his hand he won't have one!".
