Two In One Day!

I usually tell Emmit to say something to Emory to get him to smile, but he always has trouble coming up with things to say. This morning was no different.

Emory was staring staring straight at his big brother, so I said, "Emmit, say something so he'll smile."

Emmit says, "Hey! Hey!", pauses briefly, and then says "Mailbox!"

WTH?

Then on the way home from the doctor's office, we were talking about how it looks like it's going to rain. Emmit said that he was laying in his room and "heard a loud thunder and it scared the Jesus out of me."

You know...begeezus.

They Are So Literal Sometimes

A few days ago, I was sitting on the couch watching some videos on the computer. Emmit & Evie ran over so they could watch too. They sat down beside me, one on each side. And then the computer just froze up.

I said, "Man, the computer is frozen!"

At the exact same time, they both reached out & touched the screen!

Evie said, "No it's not! It's hot!"

Another Emmit LOL!

We've been putting up the new swing set in the backyard. It was a kit that we ordered. I've never seen so many screws, nuts, bolts, and washers in my life!

Tonight, Nathan was adding a few more accessories. He was up on the tower trying to attach a pirate wheel. Well, he dropped something. Emmit reached down to pick it up, and Nathan asked what he dropped.

Emmit held it up and said, "Oh, it's a dryer!"


Close, bubba..really close. It's a WASHER!

Animal Crackers

Last night, we were all snacking on animal crackers, trying to identify what creature each little cookie was (which is not as easy as one might imagine).

Emmit found a camel and ran over to Nathan to show it off.

He said, "Look, Dad! I found a camelope".

Here's How To Get 'Em To Sleep!

So, we're on night two without Daddy. The kidlets have been up past midnight both nights! Well, Mommy's tired! I've begged; I've pleaded; and I've resorted to this...

Okay, folks. I'm only kidding! No need to call CPS! Evie got mad b/c I wouldn't let her have a full cup to take to bed, so I stopped the tears by telling her she could drink her sip of TEA in a "date glass" (that's what Emmit calls them). They even did a toast..."CHEERS"!
