Kid funnies of late

D asked me if he could grow up to marry me. I had to tell him no because I’m his mommy, I can’t marry him.

This morning, C pretended to be a tick, and D interviewed him about his life. “So do you drink a lot of blood?” “Yeah, sometimes.” “Do you like to drink cat blood?” “I like people.”

Playing Star Wars Battlefront (computer game), C turns to me and says “Defeat is not acceptable.” He is SO destined for Special Forces.

While swimming in the pool, we play various games. Often they like to be baby kittens who escape from a pet shop, and I’m their mommy cat who comes to find them while they’re lost in the woods. Today though, the games were “Weeping Angels Attack”, which quickly turned into “Swimming Angels” and “Angels Who Don’t Stop When You Look At Them”. But their frozen-angel poses were hilarious. Then it was zombie attack, and while we attacked D, he suddenly became the emperor and attacked us back with Force-lightning. Who knew. Then C had to be Darth Vader, killing zombies with his lightsaber. It’s good to have balance. Kittens. Zombies. Doctor Who. Star Wars. Y’know.

C can now open his eyes underwater, and does so all the time while swimming underwater. He phrased it, “Now I can track you down under the water.” Special Forces ahoy.

Crazy kids

Apparently yesterday morning, when I thought they were sleeping, the boys were doing this instead:

Arboretum

Apparently our city has an arboretum – who knew? Took the boys there for an “adventure”, walking around and then had lunch out at a restaurant. It was kind of fun. We didn’t do anything too taxing, since it was hot and we all had flip-flops on.

The Best

Tonight, I made the usual rounds of the house before going to bed myself. Doors locked. Windows locked. Heat set for the drop to low 50s expected tonight. Ice packs in freezer for kids’ lunches tomorrow. And then checked on the boys to make sure they were tucked in nicely. Added blanket to C. I climbed to the top bunk to check on D and saw he’d gotten a plastic lei and put it on before falling asleep. Visions of strangling hazards; removed the lei and tucked his blanket back over him. He rolled over in his sleep and mumbled, without opening his eyes, “You’re the best, Mommy.”

Just one of those simple moments that winds up making you feel so happy with your life. Now to go throw that lei in the trash so he doesn’t do it again.
