Trouble

Our most recent playground adventure gave us a lot to talk about.

Luke: mommy, have you ever heard of a kid named trouble?
Me: No, have you?
Luke: Yes, he was at the playground. His mom kept calling his name and that was trouble.

James: Mom, why can't boys play tea party?
Me: They can, where did you hear that?
James: a mommy told a boy that he couldn't play tea party. Only girls do that.
Me: She was misinformed. Anyone can play tea party.
James: Ok, I like playing chasing bad guys better. But sometimes I like to play tea party and pour tea on my head.

Somehow I missed all the excitement. But those little guys don't miss a thing.

And, here they are posing...sillies!

Misheard lyrics

My children share in my inability to properly hear lyrics, rather we hear what we want to hear. Here are some of my favorites:

Luke: mud, mud, I love mud!
Real Veggie Tale Song: love, love true true love.

James: who's got feet in position?
Real Donald Duck theme song: who's got a cheery disposition?

And because no post is complete without a picture, here are the boys with Abe Lincoln at the National's baseball game.

You can do better then that!

This is James' new catch phrase. Not sure where he picked up this gem, but it is surprising how often it can be spun into everyday conversation.

Me: Time for lunch, I made PB and J.
James: You can do better then that.

Me: Let's make a craft.
James: You can do better then that.

Luke: James, let's play Don Pedro and the three dragons.
James: You can do better then that.

You get the picture. Funny and annoying all wrapped up in one.

Pictures: J and L posing in front of butterfly craft. Next is L building a town out of blocks, he was very proud and insisted on a picture.

A boy and his dog

Sweet Luke and Zion. And an extra with James who needed to be in a picture too.
