French Toast

Setting: Lying in Beckett's bed, trying to get him to sleep

Beckett: I want french toast for breakfast in the morning.
Me: Okay.
B: How do you make french toast?
Me: Take some bread, dip it in egg, and cook it in the pan.
B: The eggs makes it turn French?!

Football

Spencer brought home a flyer for football. I asked him if he wanted to play football. He said, very excitedly, "Yeah!" I said, "You do?" He said, "Yeah! I really, really do!!" I said, "Do you even know what football is?" He said, just as excitedly, "NO! What is it?!"

Chicken Nuggets

Last night, I was trying to get Beckett to sleep when he said, "I'm going to have a dream tonight about chicken nuggets. And, it's going to be a good, good dream!"

Old Chicago

Spencer: Old Chicago is nice!
Beckett: And new Chicago is bad?
Spencer: Yeah, New Chicago is BAD!

Funny stuff over the last month

Beckett was being silly tonight, so I said, "Oh Beckett, you are something else." He replied, "What am I? A lizard?!" Yeah Beckett... you're a lizard. LOL!

A few days ago, Beckett asked for milk. I said, "Milk from a cow?!" He said, "Nooooo, milk from the jug!"

Beckett has been not wanting to go to bed lately. Over the last few weeks, he has told me that he's scared of the dark, the light, and tree outside of his window. Tonight, he told me that he's scared of the air. I told him that it wouldn't help to go downstairs because air is downstairs, too. He informed me that downstairs air is not scary, only upstairs air is.

We went to Colorado in July. While we were there, we toured a mine. While we were waiting for the tour to start, I told Beckett that it was going to be time to go in the mine soon. He said, "It's yours?!" I said, "No, it's a mine." He said, "Yours?!" I finally stopped laughing enough to tell him that the place we were going was called a mine, but it was not mine.

Beckett: "Mommy, Spencer's kicking me!"
Spencer: "No I'm not, Beckett. I'm just feeling you with my foot!!"

Sometimes when you ask Beckett what he wants to be when he grows up, he says, "a dinosaur". Other times, he says, "A giant." My mom asked him what he would do when he was a giant. He said, "I would say fee, fi, fo, fum!"

I was told by Spencer, "If your foot burns, but not the rest of your body, you should use the gold bond foot powder I just saw on TV." Thanks for the tip, Spence. He also insists that we need the "Mr. Steamy" that he saw on TV, too.

Spencer: "I have a million killion jillion smarts in my brain!"
Beckett: "YEAH! And, I have FIVE smarts in MY brain!"

Long time, no blog!

I've been slacking on my blogging duties, so hopefully I can get caught up tonight!

The biggest news at our house is that Spencer is headed to kindergarten on Friday. He's super excited. And, on the 24th, Beckett will head to preschool. My babies are growing up.

In other "big news", I got a new job. I will be teaching 3rd grade in Fremont this fall. I'm super excited to get back in the classroom.

Todd has no big news. LOL!
