The Things They Say!

Alex and I had to laugh this morning... Avery had on his cowboy boots and Evan helped him put in a plastic snake so then he had a snake in his boots! Hysterical for any Toy Story fans ;o) My how having kids changes your life - ha!

I am standing in the kitchen, boys are in the bathroom... I overhear Evan say "you're my best friend Avery, my best friend!" How sweet is that, just when you are ready to throw in the towel they do something like that.

Evan is currently obsessed with local honey in a honey bear! He has been eating a lot of peanut butter sandwiches it, some honey sandwiches and this morning... on his eggs! The label on the bear is on his tummy and Evan informed me that tags belong in the back! Such a smart boy!

Evan "who is he?" Me "he is spraying so we don't have mosquitoes" e "but what is he?" E "an exterminator" e "he has a cool backpack! He is a GOOD sprayer" Just thought you would appreciate this review - ha!

Follow-up to this one - then when we went to the doctor's office there was a man with a backpack tool on and he said they are spraying for mosquitoes and I told him that this man was just blowing the grass away that he had just cut. Then Evan was concerned about the fact that the mosquitoes were going to come get him since they hadn't sprayed.

 First words out of Evan's mouth this morning when he walked into our room "Why you here?" Me "You don't want me here?" Evan "No" Me "You want Miss Shannon?" e "yes!" Feeling the love - ha!

The boys and I are watching "Star Wars" because Mr. Potato head now can be Darth Vadar or a Storm Trooper... so Evan wanted to see who they were... Avery's comment "Cool airplane" to the X Wings and Evan just asked where the Power Rangers were - ha! I can barely keep my eyes open today and yet they keep making me laugh!

Dinner conversation "Evan, what was your favorite thing about today?" "Watching movies - Star Wars, because it was SOOOOOO COOL! There were bad guys" "so do you want to watch it again?" "YES!"

This morning when we were getting in the car Evan refused to open the car door because it was wet. I asked him whose child he was and he replied "Daddy's, I like meat, Daddy likes meat. I love meatloaf, Daddy loves meatloaf and so does Bodaddy". Cracked me up! Aunt Diana better be ready for a talking to next time she is over because he thinks it is silly to not like meat and needs to tell you so in person - ha!

Regarding our trip to Florida - String Break, camping, Disney...
Sitting in the kitchen - out of the blue Evan says "Thank you for the trip" I replied - "Did you like the trip?" e "Yes!" E "What was your favorite part?" e "The Dumbo ride!"

Last night Evan informed me that Bodaddy knows Santa and helps Santa deliver presents. I didn’t know you knew the big man – impressive! ;o) 
Bodaddy's response:

Thank you sooooo much for that terrifically important to me news.  I've got a special place where I'll save it. This kind of news is definitely a blessing to my heart.
