Random Tuesday and the great randomness that is my children. Let's go.
We took the boys out for dinner last week. When we get to our table, Liam says to our hostess, "Hi, my name is Liam and I have a cold." Manners, right? Then he sneezes on her without covering his nose.
Connor: Daddy, look at the red dots on my face. It looks like I have the pox. (I came this close to peeing myself)
Liam wakes up between 6:30 and 7am (I don't know why I bothered to put 7am) everyday and crawls into bed with us. He's told everyday that if he wants to stay in our bed he can't talk until seven zero zero or he has to go back to his own bed. One day he will not listen and keeps bouncing around and playing. When he gets ordered back to his own bed he rips off all of his clothes and his pull up, throws them at us and marches back to his bedroom. Whatever, it was quite in our room.
Connor: Daddy! Liam's chasing me.
Me: You were trying to eat his brain
Went out for breakfast after taking Connor to school this morning. During breakfast, in which he was dipping sausages in peanut butter, he calls to the waitress, "Hey lady, I like peanut butter." Afterwards he got a free helium balloon from a toy store we visited.
Me: Connor's going to be jealous of your balloon.
Liam: Connor will be so jealous.
Me: Does that make you happy?
Liam: Yes. Look at my smile. (last bit said through gritted teeth of a smile)
We started painting Connor's room today. Benjamin Moore's Costa Rican Blue.
Much nicer than the Patricide Red we steered him away from.
Connor: Liam! Stop copying what I'm copying!
Liam: Get out of there, you cracker.
Supreme Leader: What?
Me: What are you guys fighting about?
Connor: Liam said his bug threw a tree at me but I shot it.
Me: So you're arguing about an imaginary bug throwing an imaginary tree at you?
Connor: Yes.
Me: You're serious?
Connor: Yes.
Me: You're willing to be sent to your room when we get home for this?
Connor: ...
Liam: When my bum toots it says hi.

I love Random Tuesdays. Especially the kids edition. Makes you just want to laugh all day. I loved the imaginary tree episode.
ReplyDeleteThat is a tame blue. My son's room is Home Depot orange. We talked him down from four walls though to just two being painted. The place glows, trust me. I can't wait to have to turn it back to white when we move out.
Love that Mat Kearney song.
Did they learn to toot their bums as a greeting from their mum or their dad?
ReplyDeleteBlogger is to blame for numerous spelling and grammatical blunders that I have made. My spelling is getting progressively worse.
Very, very funny! Those kids are smart little whippersnappers!
ReplyDeleteFookin' laugh riot. Kids say the funniest stuff. Don't ya almost want to live in their brains? I mean ... you know ... the imaginary part of them!
ReplyDeleteLiam's bum is so nice. I wonder if that was what the guy on the plane was saying to me yesterday?
ReplyDeleteSausages and peanut butter? A match made in heaven.
ReplyDeleteWow. I wish my imagination could have such a profound affect on my co-workers.
ReplyDeleteWhy do kids wake up so damn early? Then they expect us to entertain them when our eyes won't even open yet. Grr.
ReplyDeleteThat was great-I like the new header too.
ReplyDeleteCan't the TH cups be in there though?
I feel like we must be living parallel lives-- we told our kids that if they want to be in our bed they have be quiet until seven zero zero-- EXACT WORDS. Are you me?
ReplyDelete"Liam: When my bum toots it says hi."
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's talking to the rabbit?
It's saying 'hi'? Glad to hear at least it's something innocent!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a non-stop comedy hour over there (although I'm sure you could do without the 6:30 am wake-up routines!)
ReplyDelete*you cracker*
ReplyDeleteheh
You first create the monster... ever read the book Frankenstein? The book. yeah. You lose in the end you know. At least they are entertaining in the mean time.
So, if an imaginary tree falls in the imaginary forest, does it still... yeah, that comment is going nowhere.
ReplyDeleteHumour - colour - afterwards. Yep, Firefox only recognizes American as well. Come...join us...don't be afraid.
ReplyDeleteLOL! What is it with boys? My son does the same thing: 6:30-7AM bed hopping. Then asks for juice. I started making a juice the night before, so I can just tell him to go get it out of the fridge and we can sleep in peace for another 30-45 mins.
ReplyDeleteBoth my kids yell "I tooted" like everyone needs to know.
You made me gag yesterday when you tweeted about the sausages in peanut butter and then again this morning when you posted about the sausages in peanut butter. I guess, my point is, you make me gag.
ReplyDelete:)
He knows that THE Pox is the worst one. It goes on firstborns.
ReplyDeleteMY 4 year old sons room is still pink from when he moved from the nursery to his older sisters room, and they moved to their own room. Yeah I am saving up for therapy now.
ReplyDeleteVery funny kids. I am glad that their bums say hi. Mine says something not nearly as pleasant.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you on afterwards.
ReplyDeleteI love Matt Kearney. He's awesome.
Tell Liam my bum says 'Hi'.
Sausages dipped in peanut butter.. EWW!! Some how, green beans in ketchup sounds way more appetizing. That is scary.
ReplyDeletelove that blue, pretty. my imaginary bug just shot you.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to see no Coldplay on that list.
ReplyDeleteYay for the Sheryl Crow, though.
Can I please, please, please borrow your kids for a weekend? I want to take them to dinner and just let them go hog wild.
I think you should definitely leave that wall EXACTLY how it is... too cute.
ReplyDeleteI've misplaced my bum-to-English dictionary, would you please ask him what a poof followed by a low rattle means?
ReplyDeleteRandom kids are the best. Until they are teens. But you will probably be able to make that funny too.
ReplyDelete"When my bum toots..."
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!
thanks for the laugh - I hope you're saving this stuff for future blackmail
ReplyDeleteLove random kid stuff! Your kids are great! :) Happy RTT! :)
ReplyDeleteYour kids must be secretly meeting with my kids on how to act in public eating establishments. Love the "Will Pee for M&M's".. hahahaha
ReplyDeleteHow is it possible that such small children are so entertaining? Love the conversations y'all have. And the dictionary reference. As well as the cracker comment. Where the hell did he come up with that?
ReplyDeleteI bet the serving staff LOVES it when they see you guys coming. Whenever we go out to eat we leave a big tip to compensate for the carnage we leave in our wake.
ReplyDeleteMy son walked up to the hostess, took her hand, walked off and then cried when we followed. He said the pretty girl was his. He is almost 5
ReplyDeleteLoved your post.
my grandchildren are brilliant, wonderful (if not scary) imaginations. Hmmmn..think the
ReplyDeletewarped side comes from your Dad's
side of the family.
We loved having u up, but would
have appreciated it, if you'd taken
some of the snow with you. we have
an abundance of it.
ps Phone Michael if you get the chance, he'd like to come see u
all.
If someone yells at me while in bed, I have been known to tear my clothes off too!
ReplyDeleteI hate Bloggers spell check. It makes me look like I have the education of a 6 year old.
My 33 year old (Jeremy) says his farts are his turds just honking for the right of way.
ReplyDeleteYour masthead is so my favorite by far.
How much do I love that your mom sends you phone messages through your comments? You are big time now. What? Was your publisist out to lunch?
ReplyDeleteThat is, without a doubt, my favorite random thoughts post ever!!! I had to stop twice and wipe the tears away... Cracker!!
ReplyDeleteahem. I think your p.s.'s are in the wrong place.
ReplyDelete(LOVE Macy Gray and butt greetings. )
Oh, very funny. This is even the little boy doing?
ReplyDeleteHealth information
Humor & Fun World
omg I just about passed out I was laughing so hard at "Get out of there, you cracker".
ReplyDeleteI would have gone with Patricide Red. I guess that's why nobody visits.
your kids crack me up.
ReplyDeleteTell Conor when my bum toots, it's saying "right back atcha!"
ReplyDeleteHappy Randomness
Are you somehow taking my son and raising him without my knowledge? So much of this sounds eerily familiar. I am currently in a battle with my son to explain that MOMMY DOES NOT WAKE UP AT 5:00 AM. NO ONE DOES. IT IS WRONG. 6:30 IS THE EARLIEST THAT MOMMY CAN GET UP.
ReplyDeleteThe other day after a fart: Hey mommy, my butt whistles.
So funny...and the ipod stuff was really really really random.
I like monkeys.
LMAO at the cracker comment. Man without kids what the hell would we blog about.
ReplyDeleteThis is a tootie kind of day. I know, as I have blogged about it today too. Are all boys obsessed with farting?
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna see if my wife buys that - when I toot my butt says hi. I'll bet she'll be ok with it....not.
ReplyDeleteYou made me laugh until I cried! Your boys are HILARIOUS!
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty much in love with your kids. Although I'd be happier if one of them was a girl, so we could have an arranged marriage.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow. This brought back memories of my kids fighting over who got the biggest piece of imaginary pizza. Good times...
ReplyDelete...lol, I cracked up outloud at the pulling off the clothes & pull up.... "TAKE THAT!" hee hee... quietness is what I strive for around here
