Waincoat

Me: Easton, I like your jacket. That's cool, man.

E: (somewhat angrily) It's a waincoat! 

Me: Oh, I love your raincoat!

E: (huge smile) Thank you, momma.

Growing Up

Last night, Macey said, "I'm going to grow up soon. Probably tomorrow."

Dinner Conversation...

Me: "Macey, why'd you get put in time out at Grandma's house?"
Macey: "Cause."
Me: "That's not a reason. Why'd you go to time out?"
Macey: (stuffs food in her mouth and starts mumbling)
Me: "Huh?"
Macey: "Sorry. Can't talk with food in my mouth."
Me: "OK, now you're done. Why'd you go to time out?"
Macey: (stuffs more food in her mouth, finishes the bite, then starts coughing)
Macey: "Sorry. Can't talk when I'm coughing."
Me: "Seriously. Time out? Why?"
Macey: "Cause."
This went on for quite a while...

Boys Will Be Boys. I guess?

Last Saturday night, Greg and I were watching a movie downstairs when Easton walked in the room and I could tell his face was all shiny.

Turns out, he had slathered Vaseline all over this face and HAIR.

It took a solid week to get all of that out. Anyway, so yesterday I'm flipping through a Target coupon book and see one for Vaseline. I pointed to the picture and asked Easton what that was.

He started smiling, tapped his head and said, "Mine...mine."

Can We Leave Him Alone?

On the weekends, we almost always go places together--all four of us. Even if it's just to run errands. Yesterday, I was just making a quick trip to the post office, and the kids wanted to ride along.

Greg was in the middle of doing some stuff around the house, so he stayed behind.

In the car, Macey looked really concerned, and I asked her what was up.

She was very serious and said, "We're going to leave daddy in there all by his big self?"

I assured her he could probably handle it, but I'm not sure she bought it.

What's for Breakfast?

Me: What do you want for breakfast? Pancakes, cereal, toast, eggs?

Macey: I'll just have some Starbursts.

Me: Well, you can have a couple, but that can't be breakfast. They're not very good for you.

Macey: Yes, they are because they're delicious.

Jesus Loves Me...by Macey

"Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me to shake my booty."

Hmmmm...well, alright.
