The gift of Christmas

During the boys' Christmas program today, the leader did a children's sermon. She was talking about the real "gift" of Christmas, meaning Baby Jesus. Spencer thought she meant something else...

Thanksgiving

Me:  ...And when we go to Grandma's, we'll have turkey for dinner!
Beckett:  A real turkey?
Me:  Yeah.
Beckett:  With legs?!
Me:  Yeah.
Beckett:  And can WALK?!
Me:  No buddy, it won't be able to walk...

My boys...

Here is a prime example of the difference between my boys:

Spencer wants to grow up and be a 4th grade teacher in the school where I'm a 3rd grade teacher.  That way, we can eat lunch together every day. 

Beckett wants to grow up and be a dinosaur.  That way, he can eat people for lunch. 

See?  Big diff. 

Shoo!

Last night, it was starting to get dark.  Beckett walked over to the window and said, "Shoo, night, shoo!" while trying to wave the night away with his hand. 

Spencer labeled our door. You know, just in case we forgot what those things were called...

As I was sitting here at the computer, Beckett came downstairs. I can't see the stairway from where I'm sitting, but I heard him say, "Mommy? Can I take these to bed with me?" I assumed that they were stuffed animals or toys. Then, he walked around the corner, and I see he has two packages of Whoppers and a slice of cheese. Sorry, buddy, you don't get to take chocolate and cheese with you to bed.

Thank you, ma'am!

Today, Beckett and I took a trip to Target. As we finished checking out, the cashier said, "Thank you, ma'am!" Beckett looked at him and said, "My mommy is not a MAN!"

Wednesday

My Mom: Beckett, I thought you were going to be a big boy and poop in the potty.
Beckett: Is it Wednesday?
My Mom: No, it's not Wednesday. It's Sunday.
Beckett: Well, I only poop in the potty on Wednesdays.

The truth...

Spencer: (Something that was awfully bossy, but I don't remember what it was)
Me: That sure sounded bossy, Spencer. Who is the boss here?
Spencer: Mom, I know you are the boss, but I am telling the truth! The truth just sounds bossy sometimes.

Heaven?

Beckett: Mommy, where is heaven?
Me: It's far away.
Beckett: Is it like a town?
Me: Well, it might be kind of like a town. I don't know for sure.

Silence for a few minutes -

Beckett: Mommy... that town... was it called Heaven... Or Kevin?

Girls...

We have friends with the last name Hartvigsen. They have three little girls. Spencer calls them the "Vixen girls". LOL!

Little brothers can be the worst...

Scene: Beckett does something mean to Spencer.

Spencer: Beckett is so mean. He's just so, so mean. Let's give him to a new family.
