July 26th, 2016

I was cleaning the bathroom while the boys were taking a bath. I put Comet in the toilet bowl and saw Camden get a little twinkle in his eye. Little did I know it was an evil twinkle. I stepped out of the bathroom and, like all kids, the boys assumed I couldn't hear them if they couldn't see me. I heard Camden whisper to Kellan, "Hey! Squirt water into the toilet with your toy!". I came flying into the bathroom and saw Kellan doing as his trusty older brother had instructed. I yelled "Camden!" and he looked at me with his ridiculously long eyelashes and asked, "What did I do?" I told him I heard what he told his brother. He tried to get out of it by explaining that Kellan should be in trouble because he was the one squirting the water. As I went into a highly prepared Mom speech that was going to be great in this situation, Camden just shrugged and said, "Well, Little Brother will do as the Master says"...


Kellan as we were getting in the car today - "Mom? You're the best Mom in the whole town!" As I went to reply that he was my favorite child, he followed up with, "Now can I watch your phone?"...


Kellan was just being his happy go lucky self the other day and I said, "You just love life, don't you, Kellan?" He replied, "I love trees!"...


An Oasis song came on in the car and I was talking to the boys about how the brothers in that band reminded me of my brothers. Kellan proceeded to tell us a long story about how he met the band Oasis at school...


We always talk about God and how great Heaven is. Kellan piped up with, "I bet they have the game Traffic Rush 2 in Heaven!"


I was driving Kellan up to Grammy's, and we smelled something in the car.
Kellan: Sniff, Sniff! What's that smell?
Me: They're repaving the road
Kellan: Smells like chicken
(pause)
Kellan: Maybe they put a chicken on the road


Camden was in the middle of a highly intricate story. He kept saying it was yesterday, but not yesterday. He couldn't quite come up with the word for when this event actually happened and was getting a little frustrated, so he said, "Not yesterday, but 'Once' day"


I must have told Kellan to put his shoes on literally 87 times. I finally threw my hands in the air exasperatedly and said, "Kellan! Please put your shoes on!". He came close to me, smiled sweetly, grabbed my hand and said, "Oopsies, Sweetie Pie!"...

July 16th, 2016

Camden was talking in his sleep last night. I couldn't quite make out what he was saying, then clear as a bell he yelled, "Bye Bye, Horsey!"


I noticed Camden's socks had holes in them and told him to remind me to throw them away when we got home. Kellan looked horrified and yelled, "BUT I SEWED THEM!" Camden and I looked at each other confused and this did not help Kellan's indignation. So he proceeded to yell, "THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE UN SEW DED!!!"...


So Camden woke me up early as possible of course. We were laying there talking for a while when the garbage truck came by. It was loud, and Camden put the pillow over his head and said, "Ugh! Why does the garbage truck have to come so early?!"...


I was telling the boys how there are three people in particular I always pray for, and it's not easy to pray for them because I don't think they are very nice people. Kellan looked at me with his luckily cute sparkly blue eyes and asked, "Is one of them you?"...


Kellan's new thing is pretending he's a dog in an egg. Not quite sure what this means, but it's easier to go along with it. They boys tend to name themselves Junior, Browsley and Fastly when they're these dogs in eggs...


Kellan ran by me and said, "look how fascist I am!" I really hope he just meant fast...


Camden threw up the other day and said, "Well now that I got that out of the way!"


Camden is always in 1st place on the slither game out of like 500 people. We were cracking up because you can name your snakes, and someone picked the name, "Jake from Snake Farm".


Kellan always wants me to 'ruvva' him. (Rub his leg). I thought I was ruvvaing him, but he yelled, "Mom! You're ruvvaing my blankie and no piece of me is there!"...


We were in the car and I made a turn. From the back seat, Kellan announced, "I guess we're turning on Cave Creek Road!". I replied, "This is 32nd Street". Kellan looked shocked, smiled and said, "How did I get that right?!"


The boys were arguing if they'd even seen a Komodo Dragon. Kellan insisted he had seen one, and logical Camden could not stand this. Kellan finally yelled at the top of his lungs, "I WENT TO THE JUNGLE WHEN I WAS A BABY AND SAW A KOMODO DRAGON!!!"...

July 3rd, 2016

Camden and Kellan were playing soccer. Needless to say, Camden's a little competitive. Kellan scored (by a pure stroke of luck) and Camden yelled "That doesn't count!". Kellan and I both asked "why?" Camden looked at us annoyed and said, "I don't know why, it just doesn't"...


Kellan accidentally kicked the soccer ball right at me, grinned, and said "Sorry Mr. Girl!".


We passed a high school that had a football stadium right out front. Camden announced that he wanted to go to that school because it has a football team. Kellan said he wanted to go to a school that has a cannon ball team. Ok...


Kellan came up to me sadly and proclaimed, "My brother's not being very nice to me so I'm going to go back in my 'raccoon'". He might have meant cocoon, but I didn't have the energy to clarify...


Kellan told me, "bean burritos are good because they have beans in them"...


At breakfast, the waiter asked the table next to us if they'd like hot sauce. Kellan angrily turned back and yelled, "No! I don't want any hot sauce!" I think the waiter is scarred for life...


I brought Camden some apple juice and he said, "Why thank you for serving me, ma'am"...


Kellan earnestly told me that he had sushi at McDonald's. Must have been at one of the Scottsdale locations...


Camden was playing with my phone and I told him to make sure to let me know if anyone called or texted. He ran up to me handed me the phone, and said, "Mom, someone rang". Like he's an English kid from the 1800's or something...
