Easy-Peasy, Bright and Breezy, Lemon Squeezy.

Kids offer a constant stream of blogability, and in the past week and a half, Liam has been gold. GOLD. Tantrums, regular conversation, buttering Mommy and Daddy up or just opening his mouth to let the magic fall out. If I made any money off this site I'd have to put him on the payroll.
Liam: Mommy, what's all that white in your hair?
Mommy: When people get older their hair starts to get white.
Liam: Why is there so much of it? Hey Connor! Come look at Mommy's head!


See? Gold.
(Supreme Leader got a cut and colour soon after this conversation took place.)




Somebody, and I'm not naming names, had a little accident the other night. When I went in to find out why he… er, the person in question, was crying, the person was busy pulling all their stuffed animals out of the bed. When I stripped this person down and wrapped him/her in a clean blanket so I could go get some new sheets, this person said, "I'll have to apologize to my bed." Then he/she curled up in a ball on the floor and fell asleep again.


"Explosions of love!"
While I was washing dishes and he was drawing on the patio doors with window crayons:




Liam: Daddy, I found a spider, should I kill him?
Daddy: Why don't we let him go.
Liam: Ok, the kitchen is messy enough for him to live in.
 Ouch.

Intrepid explorer...




...lover of cherries...





...slayer of giants, he does it all.


"If you come to my country, don't bring peanuts." 
Wouldn't dream of it, Pumpkin. Thanks for giving Daddy something to write about this week.

  2. My son also helps me with my daily blog topics. Without him, I'd have nothing to write about.

  3. Gotta love it when the Midgets just toss bloggy gold at your feet. :) I love the gray hair and the spider conversations!

  4. Thanks for the early morning laughs!

    Love the bed apology. :)

    and "Come look at Mommy's head!"...reminds me of the time my son discovered (and was worried over) his fingers being wrinkled from a bath. I was dressing him and explaining what they were when he looked from his fingers to me and said, "Wrinkled? Like your face?"

    Good thing they are so cute.

  5. That gray hair conversation reminds me of when Connor thought Daddy was the boss of the house.

  6. My youngest is also Blogging gold. Oldest is like bronze as he usually falls into his humor ass backwards. :)

  8. Gold, indeed, in a particularly rich vein. Thank you for sharing the wealth :)

  9. Golden Boy used to call them mole on my lip a meatball. "Why is there a meatball on your face?"


    yeah.

  10. Pure gold Captain. Almost makes me wish I had little ones running around the house again... almost but not quite.

  11. He's a doll. I always say I'm going to keep a note pad on hand at all times so I can write down all of the gems. Hasn't happened... Perhaps I could just keep a running tape recording?

    ReplyDelete
  12. "Explosions of love!"- just wonderful.

    And sadly, my kitchen is (also?) messy enough for spiders to live in. My theory is if they kill the flies and stay out of my line of sight, we have a truce. Unless we have company coming- then I pretend to vacuum and they hide for the weekend.

  13. Wait, he's *not* on the payroll. That's probably best. He'd totally extort you for more cash.

  14. Yes! I love your kid comments! My kids get so mad when I suddenly whip a pencil out of my purse or get up from the dinner table!

    Go stand by your mailbox!

    ReplyDelete
  15. I will babysit your kids. Anytime. But they have to be as funny and charming as they are described here or I'm shipping them home.

    And, you need to take one of mine in exchange. Fair's fair.

  16. Kids are awesome. It's too bad you can't just rent them.
    (Possible money-making venture there?)

    ReplyDelete
  17. Gold's making a comeback [although, I never considered it out]. Lucky you!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I would love to put Oscar and Liam in a room together. I bet we could tape them and make millions.

    ReplyDelete
  19. Mental note- no peanuts. Got it. Box leaving Cleveland soon.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Oh shoot, don't wait by your mailbox. Resend your address please!

    ReplyDelete
  21. That was well worth the wait. Kids are great, aren't they? (did I say that?)

    I'm with Supreme Leader, color & cut with highlights, tahnk you very much.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Children are also a good source of protein and can be used to mop up simple spills.

    ReplyDelete
  23. It's true, you do- consistently -have more to blog about than I do. Maybe I need to go find me some kids...

    ReplyDelete
  24. Awesome. That kid is pure gold!

    Thanks for the reminder, Liam! Time for a dye job!

    Oh, and cherries two at a time is the way to do it!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I certainly hope it was not a she who had to apologize to the bed.

    Oh man, L is priceless! Write it all down, Captain, before it's all forgotten. Have a great Tuesday!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Apologize to the bed? So sweet...

    Happy RTT!

    ReplyDelete
  27. I can relate to the white stuff in mommy's hair. Only at our house the girls were worried about the dad getting gray in his beard. They were insistent that I buy "just for men". White hair meant old, old meant, not long for this world in their book. That was 12 years ago. Their dad is doing fine and has gray in his hair now...think they helped put it there.

  28. The cherry photo is totally frame-worthy.

    ReplyDelete
  29. My kids have out grown that cute and cuddly stage. Now it's all sighs and eye rolls. However, the girl does still suffer from verbal spew every now and then. Apologizing to the bed.... adorable.

    ReplyDelete
  30. great RTT mining. Hey the guy with the $#*!MyDadSays sold his shtick to TV - maybe he's onto something....

    ReplyDelete
  31. One of my sons has taken to cleaning the kitchen floor with a cloth. I'm not sure whether it's because he's impersonating me, or he just thinks it needs cleaning...

    ReplyDelete
  32. Pure gold! Loved that the spider can live in peace. They can do that around here too

    ReplyDelete
  33. That's my Grandson! You should be paying him
    for the inspiration and the words.
    Tell Supreme Leader to wait 20 years, when a
    grandchild tells you, you have a happy face under your chin!!!

  34. I'm not surprised kids don't know where white hairs come from - you almost never see them on anybody under 80 anymore!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Oooh, white hair AND messy kitchen comments? I'm barely over the "your tummy is kind of like jelly wobbling" comment (made over 3 years ago)....It certainly is a good thing they are cute!

    ReplyDelete
  36. THANK YOU for posting this! I'm glad I found your blog!

  38. Liam is ready for the big time......hello reality TV....come on down!

    ReplyDelete
  39. You make me wish my son the "professor" was that small again. I miss his innocent observations to the most smallest of life's concerns.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Wow! I may have to have another baby just for the material!

  41. Yeah, you gotta put the guy on your payroll. Or hook him up with SNL. They always need good fodder writers. Plus, he's cute as a button.

    ReplyDelete
  42. The spider kitchen comment is fantastic. Comedic gold indeed.

    ReplyDelete
  43. In case no one's already pointed out the obvious here, "explosions of love" sounds like a soft core porn movie.

    ReplyDelete
  44. Can I borrow him when I get writer's block please? I'll promise not to feed him lots of sweets and bad stuff. Honest.

    ReplyDelete
  45. This is why I'm not a better blogger-I need a young child!! He does produce some gold.
    I LOVE the spider comment.

    When I spotted a mouse in the house (or rather, when my cat played with one at 3am one morning), I fully blamed my son for providing that mouse a wonderful place to move into.

    ReplyDelete
  46. Ha! I can't wait until my kid makes it easier for me to blog.

    I think I have that same umbrella. The red one. When opened, does it resemble a giant cat head?

    ReplyDelete
  47. That's how you know you're raising the kid right.. he uses manners on his sheets in the middle of the night. It's gotta count for something.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Thanks for the laugh! Adorable... looking forward to reading more!

    ReplyDelete
  49. Hey! Post a pictures of your work cubicle now that you've received some postcards. Have mine shown up yet?

    ReplyDelete
  50. I wish my 3 would supply such good material.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Can your boys come give my employees their reviews?

  52. I've decided you need to quit your job.


    you are avoiding us.
