The difference between a 5 year old and a 2 year old. Ryan: "Why did Jesus have to die? What day did he die? Was he a ghost? Is he the same thing as God? How did he die on the cross." Ethan: "Why did Jesus blow up my house?" (Sat, 27 Mar 2010 21:49:49 GMT)
Breakfast time with two Jedi/Paleontologists/Dinosaurs can be very interesting. One minute they are discussing what the feathers on Velociraptor might have been for, then then ARE Velociraptors, and finally out comes the Jedi mind trick to convince me that we should go to Chuck E Cheese today. Never a dull moment. (Sun, 28 Mar 2010 13:09:46 GMT)
Apparently "Dinosaur Train" is educational as well as fun. Ethan is walking around singing "I'm a T-Rex/Yep, I'm a Tyranosaurus/I'm the biggest carnivore/in the Cretaceous forest." I don't think he knows what most of those words mean, but he can say "Cretaceous" and "Tyranosaurus", so I'll call this a win. (Wed, 31 Mar 2010 13:48:33 GMT)
Ethan this morning: "Want to hear a funny joke? Why did the cow cross the road?" Me: "I don't know, why?" Ethan: "I don't know. Moo." (Thu, 01 Apr 2010 12:45:24 GMT)
Ethan, while playing with Lego guys: "Everybody take your pants off!" (Sun, 04 Apr 2010 00:52:00 GMT)
Ryan chucked and Ethan looks sickly, so instead of playing outside in the awesome weather, we are watching "Legoland: Adventures of Clutch Powers" for roughly the 543rd time. I voted for "The Dark Knight", but obviously I was outvoted. (Fri, 16 Apr 2010 23:17:29 GMT
Home with a sick Ryan. He is feeling better, which is nice, and keeps asking when he can go out to the park. Dude, you upchucked so much in the van I expected to see a spleen on the floor - we ain't going anywhere for a while. (Sun, 18 Apr 2010 17:49:57 GMT)
As I was leaving for class tonight, I said good-bye to Ryan, who then told me he loved me (awesome), to Jen, who also told me she loved me (awesome), and to Ethan, who said, "See you later, honey!" (Tue, 20 Apr 2010 01:06:04 GMT)
Ethan just informed me that he is not happy because he is mad. He also just informed me that he is a cheetah, so I am taking the first declaration with a grain of salt. (Sat, 24 Apr 2010 01:00:43 GMT)
Spent about 1 hour tonight removing a splinter from the hand of a screaming 6 year old. 90% of the time I wasn't even touching him, and had he not flinched so much, the whole thing would have taken about 5 minutes. Who knew that dissecting the brains out of microscopic embryonic Axolotl embryos all those years ago in college would come in handy? (Mon, 10 May 2010 02:22:29 GMT)
Ethan was playing with his Star Wars guys this evening and every time a Storm Trooper attacked Luke, the Storm Trooper got put in Time Out. "No, Storm Chooper. Bad Storm Chooper! Don't hurt Luke. Go in Time Out!" (Sat, 15 May 2010 02:21:57 GMT)
Whoops. Ethan just ate about 90% of a tube of Ritz Crackers while I was doing the dishes. I guess I have to look at this as a win due to the fact that he ate something and that the something he ate wasn't 90% of a jar of Crisco. Ritz crackers are better for you than Crisco, right? (Sat, 15 May 2010 15:40:37 GMT)
Just made portobello mushrooms on the grill. Quite tasty, if I do say so myself, but the reaction Ethan had when he put a piece in his mouth was priceless. Several chews followed by a defiant spit into his hand and throw onto his plate. "Don't wike dat. Yuk." (Sat, 05 Jun 2010 22:26:30 GMT)
Apparently the swimming pool water is cold. Ethan says, "Cold testicles! Cold testicles!" whenever he gets in. Thankfully only about 75% of the churchgoers behind our house heard him yesterday afternoon. (Sun, 04 Jul 2010 13:13:20 GMT)
I knew that the boys would eventually eat all of our food, but I didn't think that it would happen so soon. Ryan just ate his lunch of tortellini and sauce and then asked for the rest of mine after I had only taken 3 bites. I notice that Ethan has a few left in his bowl. Perhaps I can steal his... (Fri, 16 Jul 2010 16:56:05 GMT)
I learned two somethings today. #1. Homemade milkshakes are the best. #2. If you stick a spoon into the rotating blades of a blender, the resulting mess will extend all the way to the living room. (Tue, 20 Jul 2010 23:35:24 GMT)
Teaching Ryan to read reminds me of how weird the English language is. "Book" and "Shoot" both contain "oo", but they don't sound the same. "Car" and "War" only have one different letter but don't sound the same. Seems arbitrary, and arbitrary doesn't go over well with a 6 year old! (Sat, 07 Aug 2010 13:10:10 GMT)
