Did you say...Ace?

Last night I was playing a quick game of "Go Fish" (or Goldfish as Braden says) before bed. We were playing with a regular deck of cards this time and the kids aren't too schooled yet on the Jacks and Aces and stuff like that. So it was Olivia's turn and she asked Braden if he had an Ace, to which he replied, "Nope...Gold Fish!" A few turns later, Braden asked Olivia if she had something and since she didn't, Braden picked up his card from the pile. As he picked up his card he smiled and muttered under his breath, "Yes! An anus!" I wasn't sure if I had heard him correctly, but I knew I had when it came to his turn again. With great confidence he said, "Olivia, do you have an anus?" After that came a little pause in the game where Mommy had to gain her composure and politely instruct her innocent little man on the correct name for a certain card.

A little bit of controversy over where Jesus grew up...

Shawn and I were thinking of taking the kids to the ocean in Bellingham yesterday. I guess they overheard us talking and Braden says to Olivia, "What's Bellingham?" And Olivia says in her 'motherly' tone, "Braden, that's where Jesus grew up."

A Single Mother???

The other night I got the rare opportunity to head to the movies with my friend Janelle....leaving daddy at home with the 3 munchkins. When I left they were all downstairs...playing lego starwars with the exception of Julia, who was just motoring around, exploring everything within reach. While in the theatre, I get a call from Shawn, which totally made my heart race! I automatically thought something must be wrong, but found out he was simply calling to tell me what Olivia had said. I guess he left to go upstairs for a minute and he hollered down to her, "Is everything alright Olivia?" She responded with, "C'mon dad, I'm trying to play a video game and I'm watching 2 kids here! What am I, a single mom?"
