Is it just me or is this hysterical?

Noah and the burger

We were at Chick-fil-a the other day and Graeme was giving Noah his chicken sandwich. He said, "Here Noah, here's your burger". Noah took the sandwich and opened it up and said, "Where are they". He was looking for the boogers (burger).

It's fun to have a 2 year old in the house.

'Lijah

I love how Elijah still says some words wrong. It's some of the last baby-ishness in him. I asked him if he could say vanilla, to which he said enthusiastically, "this time I know how to say it, ba-nel-a!" I love to ask him and then hear him say it as Banella.

We have been doing some phonics in school this year. he's PreK, but we are having fun together. We did the letter "r" one day and I didn't even realize that he says "r" as /o/ or /w/. It's so cute to hear him say, "/o/ you coming?" or "we wan to the pool". Stay little my sweet one.

Eli's favorite things these days are to "sit right next to me" at the table and spread his person all over my lap if I am sitting on the sofa or bed. I love his cuddly-ness.

Bees

Bees are an apparently very in demand insect at our house lately. I keep "losing" the bug spray bottle and the hair spray bottle and the water spray bottles to eager bee-slayers. Picture me running around the house when we are late for church trying to find the spray bottles for the boys' hair because they are in the back yard with the eterminated bees.

Noah got stung by a yellow jacket earlier this summer. It was so sad to see his little eye so swollen. The swelling didn't seem to bother him. I immediately went to grab the ibuprofen to give him some, but we didn't have any, he downed nearly a whole bottle of Ibuprofen just the week or two before. Did you know if your 35ish pound 2 year old drinks 4 ounces of Ibuprofen they do not have to go to the emergency room!? Just in case you were wondering.

Okay, back to the bees. The kids are very aware of the yellow jackets and bees in the air and like to talk about how they saw the biggest and the bestest bee and so on. Sophia and Elijah hunt the creatures with shovels, brooms and hairspray, and upon their unfortunate end the bees end up in a plastic sand pail filled with water. This is a tremendously popular pastime at our house this year. Noah, who wants to join in on the big kid fun saw a bee and mused, "Look! A bumble jacket!"

I love that little mischeif maker.

More Noah Funnies

Mommy: Noah, are you a queen?



Noah: No, you are a princess and I'm a kinger.

Noah Funnies

Here are a few of the latest from Noah...

When strapped into his car seat and excitedly wanting to be released, "Buckle me out! Buckle me out!!"

My Dad took all the grandkids on a train ride. Noah and PopPop have a mutual interest in trains, and afterward Noah spoke very fondly of the event, "I went on a runaway come-boose train ride". He rode the steam train, and now he wants to go on the "runaway come-boose diesel ride". I love that little train lover and his PopPop.

For Posterity

When something tastes good, Noah says, "it tates!"

Sophia still calls crutches, "crunches". I don't correct her...it's too cute. :)

Noah: "I'm sick, I need some lettuce-in (medicine)".

Elijah: "tatoes", for potatoes

There's more funnies, but I can't remember them now that I'm sitting down to record them! :)

Levi is 6 weeks old...yee-haw!

Graeme is home tomorrow, double yee-haw!!!
