Thoughtful Thursdays

 I've been thinking about my crazy kids and all of the hilarious things they say. Mateo has been especially hilarious. I've been trying to write things down as they say them because let's be honest, I can't remember a darn thing. This picture was taken after Mateo had played in the sandbox. He must have tried to bury himself or something because he was completely covered!

Here's a few of the funny things Mateo has said recently:

-While making his Ferb toy "fly": "AHHH! I don't have wings!"
-"Now that's what I call busted!"
-A little dog was running around Ream's parking lot: "Tan I have that doggy, Mommy? Pleeease?! He's my doggy!"
-Picks up his foam sword, looks at his dad, and says: "Let's dance!"

Smarty pants Sam always has something to say. I can't believe some of the things he comes up with. Things like:

-"I love Ben. He reminds me of when I was zero."

- Singing a song about how to write the number "3" he stops and says, "It's like a creepy 'o'!"

- He had been complaining about church. I asked him why he didn't like Primary. His response: "Brother B and Brother P just don't understand me!"

- He recently wrote a letter to Santa Claus. Our house is rather old and Manuel has found some weird stuff, including a leather strap with jingle bells on it. Sam must have assumed it was Santa's because his letter went like this: "Dear Santa Claus, I will give you your belt back and you bring me presents. Sam"

Speaking of Santa Claus, I've been thinking about Christmas a lot. I tend to go overboard and buy more than I should. Not that we go into debt for Christmas, but the boys have SO much stuff! I am trying to clean out our toy room and I can't believe how much crap the boys have. And they're always getting more! I like the things that can fit into categories because then they can go in their own little tote. It's the ginormous things or the random things that don't fit anywhere that drive me nuts! I also hate McDonald's and their crappy toys because my kids get attached and then I can't get rid of them. We don't eat McDonald's very often now and it's helped with my sanity a little.

Anyway, back to Christmas. I really need to exercise some self control. Especially on Black Friday. Since the boys are still young we can still get away with a simple Christmas. I should probably take advantage of that for now because before we know it, Sam's going to be asking us for ridiculously expensive items. Except he did ask for an iPod Touch so it may be starting already! Yikes!
