Four-year-old: “Sometime I would like to say ‘breakfast’ to you.”
Me: “Okay, say it.”
Him: “No, while you’re asleep.”
Me: “You want to wake me up by saying ‘breakfast’?” Continue reading “Breakfast To You”

13th Doctor Reveal
My mom and I agreed last night that whoever spotted the 13th Doctor reveal first would immediately email the other. So I woke up to good news.
I haven’t been this excited for new episodes of Doctor Who in years!
SO EXCITED Continue reading “13th Doctor Reveal”
Teddy Bear Picnics and Sesame Street Songs
Took the kids to a Teddy Bear Picnic this morning. Couldn’t decide which stuffed animal to bring, so I brought four.
The nine-year-old followed my lead and brought four; the four-year-old brought one really big one.
That moment when you try to find the Sesame St. song, “What’s the Name of That Song?”, but get the name wrong and fall into an endless abyss of meta.
Jurassic Park
Showing my kids Jurassic Park for the first time.
Jurassic Park X Ghostbusters X Indiana Jones = Oh, no! I was trying to dig up ancient dinosaur artifacts but then dinosaur ghosts attacked!
Indoor-Outdoor Furby
*sees the four-year-old taking the Furby outside*

*Second thought: why would I protect that noisy thing from harm?*
“Proceed.”
Grateful-List
As part of her plan to have a Christmas-themed birthday party next month, the nine-year-old is celebrating Thanksgiving today.
Some highlights from her grateful-list:
1) Parents
2) Grandma
3) Doctor Who Continue reading “Grateful-List”
Which Planet
Three-year-old: “Is this Earth?”
Me: “Yes, we’re on Earth.”
Three-year-old: “Oh! Then which planet is my school on?”
X-Men: The Last Stand
The nine-year-old, speaking of Jean Grey in X-Men: Last Stand: “If I had her powers, I could make pancakes with my mind.”
Rewatched X-Men: The Last Stand for the first time in a decade, and know what? That is a perfectly fine, super fun movie.
I love the X-Men movies.
Chicken Argument
Bizarre fights the children get into…
Nine-year-old: “If we got five chickens–“
Three-year-old with extreme petulance: “I only want four chickens!” Continue reading “Chicken Argument”
Natural Inspiration
I went for a walk and encountered a hundred-some baby geese in a field of mint.
Whenever the three-year-old finds feathers, he chases down every bird he can find, trying to give them back.
