It's been a funny

It's been a funny day today. We are trapped inside for the third day in a row. Yesterday we tackled the kids bedrooms and i moved Tristan into her own room where she can practice her disturbingly high self-esteem poses in privacy. I transformed Toby and Eliza's room into a den of fun.

So, with all those exciting changes they did pretty good playing up there on their own for a good part of the day. Tristan spent her time making skull and crossbone signs for her door and a "hair styles 25å¢" sign for her door. I'm too lazy to take a picture of it tonight, but don't fret it will be saved for posterity tomorrow.

All of them had some pretty funny things to say today, starting with Toby who came to help me feed the chickens and said:

"Mom, we should have taken out Charlie's eyeballs before we buried him."
"Why?"
"Because, that's what people do when someone they know dies. Then you hang them on the wall."
"Nu-huh?? (i have a weirdo in my midst) why?"
"Oh, so they can watch you after they die!"
"Hmmm."

Odd little man that one. I tell you boys bewilder me sometimes."

Then Eliza, who's four;
"mommy! Where do boobies come from?"
"What do you mean?"
"You know, boobies like Parker likes"
"Oh, like the milk?"
"No... like the booby."
"Well, they grow as you get older, like when you're a teenager."
"No mom! The booby!"

At this point i changed the subject to lunch! A favorite meal of the day around here. As we often have crepes with lemon and brown sugar to use up all the eggs. Yum.

And tonight at bedtime Parker was playing and chatting with me in his two-word sentence baby language. Every night right before the "booby?" i tell him i love him and give him a kiss. Tonight he said;

"Parker mommy love... mommy put Parker bed"

Aw shucks.

Plus Shane brought me home the new Death Cab for Cutie! A much better day.
