karla and jer: what's going on in your neck of the woods?

what's going on in your neck of the woods?

Randomness at the Smith household:

Tonight at dinner Nolan said, "Mom, did you know I always wanted to stink?" followed by, "...So the girls wouldn't always want to chase me!" I told him I really hope he stinks when he's 16 so the girls would stay away from him then!

Trip to dentist for the kids this week...I'm happy to report they're both in the no-cavity club! Yeah! Our family pocket-book really is especially happy about that!

All of my kitchen cabinets are currently door-less and everything is unloaded onto the kitchen table and in other random parts of the kitchen. read: Chaos! But, the good news is we'll have freshly painted cabinets hopefully by the first part of next week at the latest! Wahoo!

Sidenote: Jer has certainly earned the title Husband of the Year this time with the kitchen remodel. And the good news is that he is still talking to me! Even after such a long list of honey-do's! Bonus! Here he is working on the new floor with our "Tim the Tool Man" neighbor. Thanks, Steve!

the outtakes

Macy told me, "Mommy, I love you more than Daddy, bee-tuz (because) you have a pink shirt like me!"

-2009 February

Nolan, after yet another morning of anxiety about afternoon pre-school, "I'm not going to school until I'm 20!"
-2009 February

Nolan, after seeing some kids show up for swim lessons wearing swim caps, "Mom, where do you buy a swim cap?"
Mom: "I don't know...I guess where they sell swim stuff."
Nolan: "Do you want to ask Michael Phelps?"
-2008 August, during the Olympics, of course

While shopping for some school clothes for Nolan:
Mom: "Nolan, do you like this shirt?"
Nolan: "No! If we buy that shirt, it will make me turn dumb!"
-2008 August

A conversation in the car on the way to Aunt Ali's house:
Nolan: "Mom, look at the fire trucks! Did you know that's what I'm going to drive when I grow up? Macy, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Macy: (toddler gibberish)
Nolan: "She said she wants to be a tooth fairy! She's going to grow wings and go around and take people's teeth out!"
-2008 August

Nolan: "If the whole world were on fire, would space be on fire, too?"
-2008 August

Nolan runs around crazy fast then puts his hand on his chest and says, "Mom, do you want to feel my heart beep?"

Macy helped herself to the oatmeal container in the cereal cupboard. By the time I found her, she had oatmeal spread all over the kitchen floor! I said, "Macy, is this naughty?" She looked at me immediately and said, "Mo!" (her version of "No!").

Nolan finished the yummy macaroni salad (made by Shannon) tonight within two minutes tops! He asked for more, but I told him he needed to eat some of his other food first. He replied, "But that salad was so yummy that I can't eat anything else!"

Today Nolan and Macy were playing the Let's Go Fishin' Game. I hear Nolan yell, "Mom, I need the power bait!" then a few seconds later, "Reel him in! Reel him in!" If only Daddy and PawPaw could have been there!

We were in the car on an errand when Nolan said, "Oh no! Mom! We forgot to wipe off my milkstache!" (aka milk mustache)

Nolan: "Mom, do you know how pretty you are?"
Mom: "How pretty?"
Nolan: "Pretty enough to pinch your cheeks!"

Nolan, while unwrapping a piece of minty gum, "Did you know that gum is made of dried-up toothpaste?"

Nolan: "Mom, I love you all the way around the world twenty times!"

We keep the cereal in the lazy susan next to the cabinet under the sink. The other morning Macy beat me to the kitchen for breakfast. By the time I realized what she was doing, she had three bowls out of the tupperware drawer, and cereal poured all over the kitchen floor!

Nolan has a four-year-old cousin Elena (aka Leini). He told me the other day, "Mom, Leini says I can marry her when we get big enough."
