Art posts?

I suppose art is just as good as quotes. So here is one of lastborn's. He announced that he was going to draw Darth Vader. Pretty good, I think.

Don't I clean enough?

The other day, I was doing some spring cleaning. Specifically, running the floor scrubber over my kitchen and play room floors. I task I detest. And I admit freely that since my mother's death in November, I have not been cleaning as much as I should. I now know the importance of spending loving hours with each other. Life is just so short and all that.

Lastborn calls down the stairs.

Are we having friends over?

Me: Yes. Why? Because I'm cleaning?

Lastborn: Ya.

Thinking, "What a clever fellow," I continue on with my home upheaval. Later, we bring firstborn back from school. He enters the house, drops his books and says:

"Are we having a playdate?"

It's not that they're clever, it's that I'm a slob.

guyless?

Lastborn is sitting in his carseat on the way to pick up firstborn. He has brought along the star wars cruiser, anakin skywalker and obe wan kenobe. Anakin fell from his grasp as soon as the car started, then he lost obe wan.

Mommy! I lost obe wan. I'm guyless!

This is a big improvement over last month's insistence that the younger version of obe wan was named six-o-wan. Really. He called him six-o-wan kenobe.

Intro

OK. So kids do say the darndest things. So, I decided I had to start writing them down.

The stars of the show are firstborn (12/11/96) and lastborn (04/18/00). I could call him secondborn, but lastborn seems to convey so much more about his personality.

Hope you enjoy these quotes and I look forward to presenting them to future wives when the time comes.
