Skinned knees

Beckett has come home with a skinned up knee three different days this week.  The first two days, he told me that he fell on the way back to daycare from the park.  On Friday when I asked how he skinned his knee AGAIN, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I just fall down every day now..." 

The Sky is Falling!

The boys take turns carrying the mail to the house.  Today Beckett was the "mail man".  I handed him the mail from the mailbox and he started off to the house.  After a few steps, some mail fell to the ground.  I said, 'Beckett, you just dropped some of the mail!"  He looked at the mail on the ground, looked at the mail still in his hands, looked back at the ground, and said, "I don't think that mail is from me.  I think it dropped from the sky..."

Making the bed

On Monday, the boys started their new chore charts. One of their chores is to make their beds. Ever since, Spencer has refused to sleep under his covers because he doesn't want his bed to be un-made. Ever.

Rhyming Clothes

I told Beckett to go get some clothes this morning.  I went upstairs to check on him a few minutes later, and found him still in his jammies with a pair of shorts on the floor.

Me:  Beckett, did you find some clothes?
Beckett:  I found these shorts, but I can't find any shirts that rhyme with them!
Me:  Did you say rhyme with them?
Beckett:  Yes!  I can't find any shirts that rhyme!
Me:  Do you mean you can't find any shirts that match?
Beckett:  Oh yeah... that's it.

Plants and Trees

Beckett:  Plants are trees!
Me:  Well, trees are plants, but not all plants are trees.  Like dandelions-- they are plants, but they are not trees.
Beckett:  Dandelions are not trees to people, but they are trees to ANTS!

Frozen Pizza

Me:  What should we have to eat?  How about frozen pizza?
Beckett:  NO!  I don't want FROZEN pizza!  I want it HOT!

Kickboxing Kangaroo

Spencer just told me that he stuffed a grocery sack into the trash just like a "kickboxing kangaroo shoves a dingo down underwater."

Beckett just told me that when he was a baby, he was trying to say "na na", but what actually came out was "Transformers, more than meets the eye! Decepticons go GO!"

Who's We?

Beckett was telling me about how much fun he had playing in the water at daycare this afternoon.  He said, "And, we splashed!"  I said, "Who's we?"  He paused for a second and said, "There is no one named 'We' at daycare!" 

Booty

Beckett and Spencer were paying Kinect Joy Ride this afternoon.  Beckett said that his car was a "booty car".  I asked him why he called it that, and he said it was because it has a booty.  So, I asked, "What's a booty?"  Beckett said, "You know, the body part that toots!"

Hawaii?

Today, Spencer went on a field trip to a water park with his daycare friends.  When I picked him up, I told him to tell me about his day.  He said:

"First, I was playing with the Legos.  Then, my teacher told me to get changed into my swimming trunks.  Then, we got on the bus and drove to HAWAII!"

Me:  "Hawaii?  Are you sure?!"

Spencer:  "Yes!  Hawaii!!"

Me:  "Was it MAHONEY instead?"

Spencer:  "Oh yeah.  It was that..."

Secret Agent

Spencer and Beckett were being secret agents.  Beckett was Agent Jumpy B, because he likes to jump.  Spencer was Agent Skippy S, because he likes to skip.  After a while, Spencer said, "Mom?  Agent Skippy S is too long.  You can just call me A-S-S for short!"
