*****
We took our neighbors some reindeer root beers and sang "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." Haley was the doorbell ringer. We got to one house and there was a sign...No Soliciting and a circle with a man inside and a line diagonal through it. Haley said, so does that sign mean no men can ring their doorbell?
*****
Haley: Mom, will you be my friend.
Me: Of course.
*****
Just got the boys out of a bath and put Gavin's diaper on him, which covers his belly button.
Cash: Where's Gavin's bellit button?
*****
I'm walking upstairs to put Cash in his bed for a nap and we take his shoes off at the bottom step.
Me: I'll put your shoes in the shoe drawer for you.
Cash: Good helper, mom!
*****
Cash reminds Haley all the time: You not in charge, mommy in charge!
*****
Haley: Mom can you please not make those frozen cookies you bought from the neighbor boy.
Me: Why not.
Haley: Because yours taste so much better!
*****
We are driving home from Haley's ballet class and I see an old army tank in the parking lot. The kids are curious so I pull close to it and they are looking out the window. For the life of me, I couldn't remember the word "tank" and was trying to explain what this big machine does. Cash wanted to know the name of it so I said, "Army..." pause and from the back of the van Haley says, "dillo." Yes, it's an Armydillo Tank!
*****
I made frozen pizza.
Haley gobbled it right up!
Cash: Pretty yucky, mom. Me not like.
*****
After tucking Cash in for bed he says: Mom...Fun...Park...Digging... Wood Chips!
*****
Andy left for a hunting trip and Haley was talking to him on the phone.
Andy: I need to get rid of the pesky fly. It's been bugging me for awhile.
Haley: Well at least you have a buddy to drive with you!
*****
Mom: Cash, why are you so heavy?
Cash: Tause.
Mom: Cause why?
Cash: Growing...(pause) big.
*****
We are eating dinner and I leave the table to get something. When I sit back down at the table and grab my cup to take a drink there is rice and food at the bottom of my cup. I look at Haley, "Did you put food in my cup?" "No" is the reply. I look at Cash, "Did you put food in my cup?" Looks at me like I'm crazy and says, "Ya." Goes back to playing with his food.
*****
Haley, super tired and crying in her bed: "NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME!"
*****
Haley: Hey Cash where'd ya get that rock?
Cash: Wal-mart.
*****
Before bed one night, Haley got to choose to watch America's Funniest Home Videos OR read some stories with mom. She wanted to do both and I explained how life has choices which means you don't always get to do both. She chose AFHV. Upon returning to her room to go to bed she said, "Why is life like that?"
*****
Andy helping Cash say prayers: Bless Cash and Gavin's eyes will get better.
Cash (always the keyword speaker): Goobs.
*****
Haley, bouncing in the kitchen: Mom, you know which episode of Tom and Jerry I like?
Mom: No which?
Haley: The one where Jerry is riding the velavator
Mom interrupting: The what?
Haley: Velavator and his tummy goes up and down!
We laugh together!
