Actual conversation:

Jack: “Dad, can this part of your penis fall off?”
(Thank me for sparing the pictures this time)

Dad: “What?!”

Mom: hiding behind book laughing hysterically

Jack: “Is this part of my penis falling off?”

Dad: “I don’t know. Ask your Mom.”

Jack: “Mom, is this part of my penis falling off?”

Mom: “No, I think it’s fine.”

Jack: “Is it bad if this part of your penis falls off?”

Dad: “It’s bad if any part of your body falls off.  Go get in the bath.”

Jack: “Ok.” (walks away and looks very concerned)

Dad: “Jack, did your brother tell you that?”

Jack: “Yes.”

Is this not the funniest picture you have seen all day long? Steve was working hard at getting whatever animal (we thought it might be a pack rat) that was under the pool equipment out so the dogs would stop digging around there. The poor guy was stuck like that for at least 30 minutes:

Riley helped a lot, too:

After Steve finally got the chipmunk out, Riley grabbed it, Steve yelled ‘drop!’ and Riley dropped it, then Gracie swallowed it whole…  She looks SO happy here:

and here she is after getting her well-deserved
drink of pool water after it all:

Just in case you needed a laugh…  This is our CERTIFIED pack rat
(and chipmunk) removal team in action:

I was at the doctor with Jack today.  He went with me to the foot doctor and when we checked in the woman at the front desk gave him a coloring book full of National Landmarks and military vehicles.  While we were looking at it, he asked “Does the Vampire (Empire) State Building have Vampires in it?” which got quite a laugh from the people around us.   A few minutes later, he asked “What does the Stachaio of Liberty have inside of her? Pistachios?” He was a hit with all of the older people there!!

Last night as I was tucking the boys into bed, they each found notes under their pillows from Steve (he left yesterday for a short business trip). They were SO excited to read their notes – after Michael read his, he opened his pajama drawer and slipped it inside.  Tonight I looked in there, and look what I found:

Tons of notes saved from Daddy, and a few there from little brother, too.

Who’s the cutest 8 year-old in the world?

A quote from Jack:

(with big, sad tears in his eyes) “Mom, April second is NOT a holiday!”

Well, not quite – But I am sure it’s not out of the realm of possibility.  Here are actual e-mails that I sent to Steve today: 


From:  Rebecca

 

Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:55:21 -0700

To: Steve

 

Subject: Not MY idea

The boys just came to me (Michael JUST got home- wasn't his fault) 
because your 'golf hitting thing' is smoking and making an 'rrrrrrr' sound.

I didn't give it to them.

 

From:  Rebecca 

Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2009 14:57:20 -0700

To: Steve

Subject: Oh yeah

 

"It's not making 'fire' smoke, just 'cap gun' smoke" (per Michael - the fire expert)

I hope you appreciate how hard it is to not laugh at them.

 

Love you.
