Who knew?

Who knew that cleaning the toilet could lead to an arguement?

Tonight as the kids were finishing baths, I decided to clean the toilet. That got Kate out of the tub so she could help scrub the toilet. And when Keanu saw she was having such a great time scrubbing the toilet, he needed to help, too.

so...

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0 Keanu's turn"

"5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, Kate's turn"

... Until it was time to bruch teeth instead of tiolets!

I'm a ...

This evening after dinner:
Kate: Mommy, I'm a boy.
me: Oh really? How about Keanu?
her: He a girl.
me: oh. Are you sure?
her: yeah.

(30 seconds later)
Kate: Mommy, I'm a frog. (as she "jumps" on all fours)
me: Jump, Frog, Jump! Are you still a boy?
her: No, I a frog.
me: Good! Jump, Frog, Jump!


(2 minutes later)
Kate: Mommy, I a butterfly (as she "flies" around the room)

Funnye thing about this conversation is that I remember the exact same conversation with her brother 2 years ago. Only difference? He claimed to be a girl!

Wordless Wednesday

Oh what a wonderful weekend!

We had so much fun this weekend, there wasn't time for taking pictures!

We had fun on the slides, story time at Keanu's school, tennis, fun at the "farm", lots of time at the park, golf, more time on the slide. First of all, it was gorgeous weather. Second of all, it was a long weekend as we "celebrated" 2/28.

The only picture I've got to share is this one. I love it because none of the 8 that I took of all 4 kids on the swing had everyone looking at the camera. In this picture, no one's looking at the camera and everyone's happy doing what he's doing. Second, it's a great picture of Teresa's growing belly! Sure is nice someone else can wear my maternity clothes!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Kate had a great time making valentines on Friday. When Keanu got home from school, he helped add the finishing touches. Watch your mailbox!

I Did It!

Grandma brought Keanu a great floor puzzle for his birthday. He loves it, but he also loves to have his sister help. The other day he did Lighting McQueen, she and I did Mater, and the kids did Sherrif together. Keanu finished his his part and was patiently waiting for his sister. You can see why he needed to wait so long. She had to take a break every time she got a piece in.

The Van

Keanu has a little matchbox van. It holds a special place in his life, maybe because it has cool sliding doors, maybe because his beloved teacher gave it to him for his birthday. He picked it up today and saw it had a chunk missing from the side door. Here's the conversation that followed:

Him: Do you know why its broken? 'cause that's where the ramp goes.
Me: Really?
Yeah, like Grandma's van. That way Grandpa can get in because he needs to sit in his chair.
oh.
The middle part is empty so Grandpa can sit here. Grandma sits here (driver's seat), Daddy, Mommy, Kate and I sit here (back seat), and Ahma sits here (front passenger seat).
