Lover of Sweets: "HOT in the city tonight"

"HOT in the city tonight"

Who sings that lame song anyway?
Well, Sweets' dreams finally came true when his hot tub was delivered (some morning back in September or something) the other day. He has used it almost everyday since receiving it and I LOVE sending the kids out for some quiet time to myself. It is the perfect babysitter!

Cool Things My Kids Say

Gordy: "let's hug everychother"...said when Sweets gets home from work and I'm kissing him hello. Little dude will usually run over to us and want to be picked up and hugged by both of us at the same time. So cute.
Gordy: "What heck!?" Said when Maddie was throwing a huge fit at some hotel we were staying at some hotel.
Gordy: "I'm outta heo (here)!", said when he was fed up with his sisters.
Gordy: "I'm so sick of it"
The other night at the dinner table I told the little guy that he needed to tidy up his room after dinner. He leaned back in his chair, put his hand behind his head and sighed "Aw Mom! I'd love to do that, but I'm too tired!"
A sweet conversation while my girls were bathing (I was in the next room): Charley: "Mom? Do women HAVE to get naked when they have babies?" Maddie chimes in before I have the chance to answer "NO, only SOME women, like Catholics".
Today from the backseat, Gordy said to me "Mom, I don't dream about noodles." This statement was of course in reference to the movie, Kung Fu panda. So then I asked him what he DOES dream about. Well, he proceeded to tell me what kind of trucks and superheroes he dreams about for the next five minutes straight. THAT is a long time for such a little person!
I had to put Treatums in time-out in his room today for yelling at me. I told him that he could come out when he was ready to speak nicely. A few minutes later he came out into the kitchen and very calmly announced "MOm, I'm gonna talk to the police if you don't stop it". So back to his room he went.
Last night while I was at work little dude was in bed watching TV with Sweets when all of a sudden he looked over and asked his dad "are you a woman?". Sweets, taken aback said "No, I'm a man." Then little dude: "Oh, you're a man?"
Chookie yelling "Neva!"; which is to say "Never!"...when badly offended. Later it was "Never never again! HMM!" and then a good slamming of the door. I remember loving to offend her just to see all the tiny drama.
NoniGirl went to a baptism with Sweets, during the hymn NoniGirl turned to her dad and asked "Do you even hear yourself singing, your voice is all low and like blah blah blah".
Chookie telling Nonigirl "Weo, you stink" when Nonigirl announced that something at the dinner table was stinky , informing us that she "has good smells" (meaning her nose is sensitive to smells).
Today I overheard Gordy playing with a little race car made of Legos that Nik had made a long time ago. He was yelling "Steve come back!" I asked Charley who this Steve was and she told me that Gordy named his car Steve. What? I keep wondering where he has even heard that name!
When Charley was 2 she would always tell me she loved me. One day I gave her some chocolate milk in her sippy cup. She looked at me and then down at ther milk and said "I yuh you chochet miwt". Which is to say: I love you chocolate milk.
