It's a Matter of Life and Death

Much to my dismay, there is a lot of candy leftover from Jeff's Birthday party last night. The kids keep trying to sneak handfuls. Sean told the kids that they could not have any more candy until after they had their dinner tonight.
Brady and Sadie were not fond of the arrangement. A few minutes after the edict Sadie came running through the room screaming, "The boy needs chocolate, give this boy some chocolate! The BOY NEEDS CHOCOLATE!"
Brady chased closely behind yelling, "Give this boy some chocolate!"

Try That Again, Dad

This morning (at 6am) Brady led Sean and I in a round or two of the ABC's. Brady was kind enough to stop Sean halfway through and correct him. "No Dad! It's K Elmo P!"

Dr Scholl's, Maybe?

Sadie: "Mom, I have a big beard on my toes, but I like it there, so I keep it covered so you won't make me get rid of it."

Sand Storms

We don't get a lot of sandstorms here in the states. It is a lot more common in Kuwait, where the company I work for is based. I guess my kids have heard me talk about them.
This morning after Sadie and Brady's bath they ran around butt naked and screamed that mom, the "sand storm", was after them. I couldn't talk them in to getting dressed, so I finally informed them that sand is very uncomfortable between the "cheeks", so they better hurry and get dressed before the wind blows their direction. It worked.
Sometimes we just have to get creative.

Rules Were Made to Be Broken

Today I explained to Sadie that in America the rule for reading is left to right. She told me not to tell her what to do.

He Had a Dream

Brady woke up very excited this morning. When I went in to get him he said, "Mom!! I ate pizza AND a hot dog!!"

Doesn't Matter If You're Black Or White

I have tried to teach my children about equality. We are all children of a Heavenly Father who loves us, no matter what we look like, or what color our skin is.
I didn't realize that Brady was listening so intently. He just walked in covered head to toe in black marker. He even got to the inside of his ears!
This kid has such a weird obsession with MARKERS!! Where is he getting them??
