Funny Moments

We’ve had funny things happen during this past month, but I never seem to find time to blog them. I’ve been keeping track of it on a piece of paper, and now that I’m finally blogging, they don’t seem to be as funny, but I’ll record them anyway. Maybe one day I’ll laugh at them again! J

I sold my digital piano about a month ago and bought a real piano. Boy, I love craigslist!! Anyway, the piano I was purchasing was all the way out in EAST Mesa (a good 45 minutes drive away). Cory and I loaded the kids in the car, packed lots of goodies, a DVD player and some movies and off we went to buy the piano. 5 minutes into the drive Christopher starts to complain about his tummy. We tried distracting him with mints, songs, talking… anything that would get his head off his stomach. Well, that didn’t seem to work so I jumped in the back and sat prepared with a puke bag in hand. Sure enough about 20 minutes out from our destination Christopher started throwing up. The funny part is that just as Christopher started to puke Drew started to cry and when I looked over he was also full on throwing up!! Haha, Cory looked back and just started to laugh hysterically. Seriously, 2 kids throwing up at the exact time?!! Luckily I was able to catch all of Christopher’s in the bag, and I’ve gotten so good at cleaning throw up in the car, that we didn’t even need to stop so I could clean Drew. I was somehow able to clean the car seat and change the kid while he was still strapped.

When Drew gets tired he becomes VERY needy. He just wants to be held, and even then he’s not happy. So the other day we were at my in-laws for Sunday dinner, and since we tend to leave at the kids bed-time, we already pack their toothbrushes and pajamas so they can fall asleep in the car. This day Drew was being his normal cranky self, tugging on my legs as I was getting the toothbrushes ready. (By the way, the kid HATES brushing his teeth). Then, I had a brilliant idea, I got the toothbrush and showed it to Drew. It worked like magic!! The kid stopped crying and ran as fast as he could to the other side of the room. I started laughing so hard. Seriously, I should walk around with his toothbrush in my pocket. This way whenever I need to do something I can just flash it at him and he’ll run for his life. Crazy Drew!!

Lately Christopher has been into playing with cars and dinosaurs. A few weeks ago Christopher was playing pretend with his dino. He turned to me and said “Dinosaur eat pao (bread)”. So I went to the fridge and got him a slice of bread. He had a few bites of it and shared with the dinosaur. Then he had a brilliant idea, if I asked for bread and got it, let’s try something else, so he said “Dinosaur eat hopsicle?” I couldn’t stop laughing. Sorry bud, dinosaurs don’t eat popsicles, at least not the ones in this house. Good try though.

To end my funny moments I’ll tell the most recent one. This one wasn’t so funny though. Last week we were at my in-laws enjoying leftovers the day after Thanksgiving. We usually put a gate up blocking the boys from the bedroom area. This day we decided not to do so, since their cousins where there and they were playing pretty well together. Boy, don’t I regret that!!! That night Drew got into the bathroom in one of the rooms and decided to throw a remote control in the toilet. I found him happily splashing a way with the soaked remote at the bottom of the bowl. AHHH!!!! Then, to end the night, Cory and I were talking to my mother-in-law as Christopher played in the bedroom. He was so quiet Cory decided to check on him. He found Christopher with a Sharpie coloring on their white doors. He managed to get 2 doors really bad, and a little bit on the wall. Seriously kids, we give a little bit of freedom and this is what you do? Today when we went there for dinner we had the gates up again!!!

Christopher has been talking more and more lately. In fact that kid is never quiet and he only has one volume: LOUD!!! These are some of his cute words:

hiffo - hippo

hopsicle - popsicle

lu-of – Rudolf (the red nose reindeer)

it’s uge – it’s huge. Usually when he sees any kind of Santa Claus (even small decorative ones)

Enough with the writing. Here are some funny pictures of the boys, mostly Christopher.

He was playing outside with chalk today and decided to color his nose red. I called him "Christopher the red nose little boy"

Better late than never. Halloween pictures!! Drew the giraffe and Christopher as Buzz.

Sooooo happy!!!

To infinity, and beyond!

Where did the boys go? I gace Christopher an umbrella to play with and this is how I found the boys.

First visit to the dentist. Aunt Kady cleaned his teeth and he did great!! (he actually realy liked it, even though it looks like he's terrified in the picture.)

These are my mom's cleaning gloves. Christopher loves playing with them. In fact, this day he wanted to leave the house with them on. At least he never left the car with them. I guess he was too embarassed to do that.
