Christmas at Grandpa's House

We took off after our Christmas morning at home to visit my at my Dad's house. We had a blast hanging out with them. The kids got more presents from their Grandparents. I got to see my sister Susie too. It was even worth the blizzard we braved to get home!

I made a fabulous new dessert...a red velvet cheesecake! YUM!!!

Funny Things Kids Say...

Dropping off Connor at school today...
Me: I love you
C: I love you too
Me: Love you more
C: No, I love you most
Me: I love you more than there are stars in the sky.
Connor pauses slightly to think of something bigger.
C: I love you more than all our blessings.

We must be so blessed. We really, are it's just nice to know he realizes it.

Potty training is fun...

Mom: "Tristan are you sure you don't have to go poopy?"

Tristan : "No, my poop is still playing in my bum."

Connor: "Mom, why do you like Country music?"

Mom: "I like the sound and I like the stories in the songs."

Connor: "Dad, why do you like city music?"

Snickering from Mom and Dad...

Home Teachers were over and about to give a message and I grabbed Haydn to try to get him to hold still. Quietly, I told him to listen about how they call missionaries. His reply was, "WITH THE PHONE!" said with the biggest tone of "duh, I already know this Mom" ever.

Haydn: "Mom, I can't go to sleep, Jedi's don't get tired!"
Me: "But they need their rest so they can save everyone."
Haydn: "But if I go to sleep my Jedi power will break!"

Haydn: "Mom, do you want a hug?"
Me: "Yeah, I love hugs!"
Haydn: "Then you have to turn on a show for me and I'll give you a hug. Mom, do you like hugs?"
Me: "Yeah, I do like hugs."
Haydn: "Then turn on a show."

Connor, reading a pepper container, says, "Spices from the four corners of the earth? Mom the earth isn't square, how can there be four corners?"
"Ground black pepper? Is the ground black?"

Connor had hurt Haydn earlier and when Haydn remembered it he said...
Haydn very sternly to Connor: "You say sorry again okay!"
Connor: "Are you the boss?"
Haydn still stern:"No I am not! I'm HAYDN!"

Haydn: "When I grow up I gonna be a baby elephant!"

Connor: quotes about his best friend Holly from school...
"Mom, Holly and I love each other."
"She's so cute when she smiles."
"I wrote Holly three notes and two of them said, 'I love you!'" "I'm gonna marry Holly!" Dad:"Does she know that?" Connor:"Yeah I asked her and she said okay!"

Mom: "Haydn what are you doing?"
Haydn: (hushed voice)"I hiding."
Mom: "Why?"
Haydn: (thinks about it) "I poopy!"
Potty Training NOT going so well!

Connor: "Mom, did you know the ice cream in OUR ice cream cones is the best because I taste your love in them!"

Haydn: "Yes SIR!" maybe, "Yes Sure!"

Connor: "It was so sticky...like...as sticky as packing tape!"

Haydn: "I know, I a crazy boy!"
