Look Mom, A Mustache

Edward got this "mustache" from a vending machine, you know the kind that you get plastic rings and tatoos from. Just had to take a picture of him wearing it. To cute!

Mini Barber

Took Edward to get his hair cut yesterday, but he decided he did not like the hair cut he recieved. He decided to take it upon himself (with the help of some scissors) to give himself a new (more likable, in his mind) hair do. Below are the results of what he did to himself.

Needless to say we had to have it cut very short, almost had to have him bald.

5 O'Clock Shadow

This morning when Edward crawled into our bed to cuddle before getting up; he looked at me, rubbed his chin and said "Mommy I can feel my beard growing". I about fell out of the bed laughing. A little bit later, I wanted to check his teeth that are coming in and he thought I was feeling his chin to feel his beard that is coming in.

What?!!??!?!?!

Last night Edward was taking 2 girls (from our Homeschoool Co-op) to Vacation Bible School with him as guests. I told him, you have 10 minutes before we leave to go get the girls for VBS. He goes into the bathroom and comes out with Kirk's Deoderant, and is applying it to his armpits. I ask him, "What are you doing that for?" He says "I want to smell good, not like a bad boy." Then he says "My breath stinks, I need to go brush my teeth." He goes into the bathroom brushes his teeth and his hair. He comes out to the living room where Kirk and I are talking and he is doing a Breath Check (where you cup your hand infront of your mouth and breath out so you can smell your breath to make sure it smells okay). We about died laughing. I told Kirk "You would think he was going on a D-A-T-E! Can you just imagine what he will be like when he really gets to go on a D-A-T-E?" Edward says "A Date?" We laughed again. I told Edward "Honey, you aren't taking the girls (one of them is going to be in 6th grade...the other in 2nd) on a Date, you are just taking them to VBS." He says "I still want to look good for them".

Gold Bricks Please

Edward says to me this afternoon around 4pm, Mommy can you paint me 2 bricks gold....so I can take them to VBS with me tonight? Well, it was 4pm and I was in the middle of mopping the floors. I told him I didn't have the time tonight before we left but I would do it tomorrow for him and I would check 1st with Mrs. Kliewer (I hadn't seen anything about needing bricks painted gold and was unsure what they would need them for). So when I dropped him off at VBS, we went to change his money into pennies (they were seeing if the boys or the girls could raise more pennies to feed 1000+ children overseas). They had a gold brick and Edward said "that is what I need." So I ask about it, they tell me for $5 you can get a gold brick (the bricks are to help make either the girls side or the boys side of the scale weigh more)...so we purchase it....which makes Edward really happy. They go into to the sanctuary to start for the night. I turn to Mrs. Kliewer and mention the earlier conversation with Edward about wanting me to paint 2 bricks gold, she and another homeschool mom I know, started to laugh. They said that they could picture me bringing in 2 gold painted bricks....because I am the type of mom who would drop everything to do whatever it was that Edward said he needed. I had to laugh because they are right....I would have done exactly that earlier in the day if he had asked me around noon or 1pm.

To Funny

I don't think my Mother In Law will find this as funny but Edward keeps calling her Daddy's Grandma. I keep correcting him but he still keeps calling her that. He is so excited that she is coming for his 5th Birthday (I know can you believe that he is already going to be that old???). I just hope that by the time she gets here he has it down that she is Grandma to him but Mommy to Daddy.

Arms

Edward loves to point out to Kirk that he only has one arm. He always says "Daddy I have two arms, you only have one arm." Now that Edward has broken his thumb and has to wear a splint like brace on his right hand, he has been saying " Daddy I only have one arm like you." LOL!

Ode to the Squirrel

We have some squirrels that live in our neighborhood. I refer to them as cheeky. We have a few that will sunbathe themselves on our front stoop. They love to dig up my flower pots. Then when we had our new front lawn put in, they began to dig little holes in the bark. They are looking for nuts that fall from a few of the trees in the area. We have hazelnuts and walnuts. Our neighbor also feeds them so, this also tends to attract them to our area of the neighborhood. Edward and I even have made up a song about them:Those cheeky, cheeky squirrels dug up my plants. Thats okay 'cause I'll teach them to dance.Well, today I went out to bring in the trash cans. When I was walking back into the house, I noticed that they had been digging up my fall plants in my pot. I had bought 7 little pumpkins to put in front of the pot to add a little harvest (fall) look to the area on the stoop. Guess what now those little stinkers are stealing the mini pumpkins. There are only 4 of them left.

Incoming Newsflash...The Great Flood of 2007 hits a Kitchen in Newton, KS

Wondering about the title of my post? LOL! Wait until your read what it is all about. It was a cool evening in Kansas. Nothing out of the ordinary seemed to be looming over the town of Newton. An unsuspecting family was settling in for a quiet evening at home. The father was off at the store picking up something for the mom, that she need to complete the evening meal. She was in at the computer printing off the recipe that she needed for dinner. The little boy and his 3 faithful four legged companions where outside playing. The mom goes back into the kitchen to begin to prepare the evening meal, when she hears what sounds like rushing water. Having just loaded the dishwasher and started it, she steps over to see if something is amiss with it. She steps in about 3 inches of water. Still hearing the rushing water, her eyes wander to the back door and through the flap in the pet door she sees the little boy holding the backyard hose right next to the pet door....water is just rushing in through it. All of the back part of the kitchen was flooded and was starting to pour into the main part of the kitchen. After she yelled at the little boy to turn off the hose, she grabbed her faithful Floor Mate and sucked up about 7 gallons of water. Thankfully she didn't end up needing a row boat.

Where I stand in my family of boys......

I have to laugh. This morning on the way home from Kindermusik, Edward informed me that he and daddy were going to go on a trip (this weekend) to stay in a hotel and have fun at an amusement park. He also continued to inform me that during this time of his absence and daddy's, that I was to clean (this is what I always do when Kirk takes Edward out of town...I don't get to rest and relax) the playroom, his bedroom, the couch, the front room, the schoolroom, the kitchen and do the laundry. LOL!!!! I think someone (or should I say some people) are a little bit on the spoiled side in this family. I told Kirk what Edward said and he just laughed, he thought it was funny. However, he said he hadn't planned on taking Edward. I think someone might be a little heartbroken when he doesn't get to go somewhere with daddy.

Edward and Cake

I have to share this. Edward is so funny when it comes to cake or cupcakes.....he will eat all the frosting off of the cake or cupcake but refuses to eat the actual cake part of the dessert. Instead he gives it to the dogs. I can't get him to eat it for anything. What a silly kid.

Edwards Funny This Morning

LOL!!! Edward came up to me this morning and said to me: "Mommy, I still love you!" What a crack up. He is so funny sometimes. I don't know where this came from or even why he said it, but it was funny probably because it was so out of the blue.

What was in the bag??

Today was the birthday party that Edward was invited too. We bought a couple of things to give as a present for the little boy. I put them in a gift bag with some tissues and included the card that Edward picked out for him. While I was putting together the bag and stuffing it with tissue paper, Edward was eating a lunchable. Zoom ahead about 2 hours, we are the part of the party where the little boy is opening his present. He gets to Edwards and is basically just pulling the things out (he was overwhelmed) and not paying much attention to all the contents of the bag. The mom picked it up to see what else was in it, she reached in and took out a small block of cheese and 3 crackers....she said "I especially liked this part of the present." Everyone laughed. I was so embarrassed at first and began apologizing profusely. She smailed and said that there was nothing to be sorry about, it could have just as easily been her and both the other moms said the same thing. Too funny. I would have never thought that Edwards snack ended up in the gift bag.

Ummmmmmmm, Daddy!!!

Sebastian had knocked over Kirk's soda while scrounging from something that he thought was up on the TV tray to eat. Kirk said some expletives at Sebastian. Edward walked up to Kirk, and said "Ummmmm, Daddy you're suppose to say Oh Pickles, not naughty words."

Husbands Sense of Humor

I asked Kirk to give me a check to transfere funds from his checking account to our main account and do you know what that silly man wrote on the memo portion of the check that he gave me to deposit while I am in OKC? He wrote: For Sexual Services Rendered. He says he refuses to write a new check. I wonder what our bank in OKC will think when they see that.

A Edward Funny on the way to the Zoo yesterday

Yesterday, while we were driving to the zoo for Kirk's company. Edward was sitting in the back of the van in his car seat behind his wagon (had to take one seat out to fit it), says to his daddy in a very stern tone of voice: "Daddy we're going to the zoo today! There are lots of animals there, so you need to stay with us and not get lost. If you get lost then you will be in LOTS of trouble."

Backwards Underwear

This morning, I noticed that Edward had his underwear on backwards. I told them that the hole in the underwear needed to be in the front. Well he turned them around, and show me that the hole was in the front with pulling his penis out. I told him that that was exactly what the whole in the underwear was for, so that he didn't have to pull down his underwear to go pee. He said no, that he goes pee like this. He pulled his penis out over the top of his underwear, I said that that was okay too but they put in hole in the underwear so that you could do it that way too. I thought that this was the end of the conversation. NO!!! I picked up the phone to call Kirk to see what he wanted for dinner and when he might be home from his trip, Edward takes the phone from me. He doesn't say hi daddy, not I miss you.....just goes right into telling Kirk that He pees like this (showing daddy who is not even in the room, let alone the state but on the other end of the phone) and he doesn't want to use the hole to pee, he wont put his penis in the hole. Kirk has no clue what Edward is talking about other than peeing and something to do with a hole. I can't help myself, I am cracking up the whole time. Picturing what Kirk is thinking in his mind about this subject that Edward is being very adament about with him. Edward hands me back the phone, not good-bye daddy, not I will see you soon, just stops talking about peeing and the hole and hands the phone back to me. I asked Kirk if he had any idea what that was all about. Kirk said peeing in holes? I laughed and told him, well sorta. I explained the whole thing and then he understood. That child!!

Another Edward Funny

Kirk took Edward to see Meet the Robinson's this past Saturday while I hid Easter Eggs and put together Easter Baskets. I guess there was a preview of a new movie coming out soon about Under Dog (an old cartoon some of us old foogies might remember from when we were kids). Anyway, Edward gets home....puts a leash on Storm, taking her outside....telling her to "Come On Super Dog!" Well he did this every day until yesterday. Yesterday he puts the leash on her and says "Come On Pyscho Dog!". I said to him "What did you just call her Edward?" He says, smiling at me "Pyscho Dog". I asked him "Where did you hear that at Edward?" He says to me, smiling again "You, Mommy!" Kids!!!

They Call Him the Streak

I forgot to share this yesterday. When we got home from taking the dogs to the kennel. I was at the sink rinsing of Dora and her pony Cookie, when I turned around to ask Edward was something. He appears and he is completely naked from the waist down. Of course the floor guys are there. I guess he thought it was his home and he wanted to be comfortable, so why not take it all off. That boy!!!!

Like Father, Like Son

I must admit this is hilarious, or at least I think it is. Kirk tends to talk in his sleep from time to time, he will even bust up laughing. It's so funny, like he is truly enjoying his dreams. Well, I have noticed that Edward smiles in his sleep but not only that he too laughs and talks. This morning for example all of a sudden be blurts out "Walk The Reindeer". Between him and his daddy, it is a comical event during the night. Good think for the most part, I am still a pretty hard sleeper.....that is when I am able to get into a good sleep....which is rare lately.
