Frankenstein's Monster

The boys and I were looking at a pumpkin decorating kit online and I told them the one with the things coming out his ears was Frankenstein. I turned around to look at the boys and Ezra had a very serious look on his face and these crayons hanging out of his ears and he said "Who is Frankenstein". It was so funny to turn around and see this:

Guess What My Pillows Made Out Of?

Enoch and Ezra went outside yesterday after church and made themselves a bed on the driveway. They had pillows out there and Garrett took them away. So Enoch and Ezra "MADE" a pillow. Underneath the flannel sheet they are laying on is a bed of rocks and sticks that they were so excited about because they were part of their pillow. Funny boys.

Enoch's Latest Dream

"I Dreamed that I cut open a potato and there was already cheese inside it, but I didn't put any cheese inside it. It was just already there. That means they cut it open and put cheese inside and glued it back. That's kinda tricky"

Ezra's Latest Dream

The other night Ezra woke up after a nightmare. He had dreamt that "A fish was chasing me and trying to eat me." Maybe he is feeling guilty for catching and eating fish- you think?

THis is Ethne in her "Snugs-A-Go Go Boots". This was right after the boys soccer practice. She had to be bundled up since it was rainy and cold. So cute! Thanks CA Grandparents for the Go Go Boots.

My Boys

Here is Enoch with his curly hair and excited about his new sweater. Cute boy. He is as smart as he is cute. Now to work on his character-that could maybe use a little work :)

Here is Ezra with his great smile. Is your sons hair too long when you enjoy the many do's you can do with the flat iron? You can't tell here but this morning I fixed his hair all wild and he looked SO different-but cute. He looked like a little punk rock boy. Kind of a Beetles wannabe but more punkish.

Give Me Your ANGRY Face. . .

WARNING: The following is not for the Faint of Heart
I looked down today and saw a very nasty little worm inching around. He was clear an you could see his insides. The inside of him was a liquid that was peach filled and you could see the air bubble inside him moving back and forth as the liquid sloshed while he was inching around--SICK--YUCK!! I saw it and yelled EWWW! Enoch and Ezra came running and said what mom? I said there is a nasty little worm down here. They both crouched down on the ground right by it and Ezra said: Eew! and Enoch said: "That is a very nasty worm. It makes me not want to look at it".

ME: Ezra don't talk to me that way I am your mommy and I treat you nicely so you need to treat me nicely.

Ezra with a scowl on his face says: "I don't WANT to be treated!

So Many Funny Things-So Little Time to Write Them Down

Enoch: "Mom, we just have ketchup, so we need mustard. "
Mom: We have mustard.
Enoch: "no we just don't have mustard in the play food but we have Ketchup in the play food."
ME: Oh, yeah you're right we don't have any.
Enoch: "We don't have any french fries either to just dip in the ketchup."
ME: No we don't do we. What would you use the mustard for?
Enoch: "we would use it for sandwiches and bean burgers and the ketchup for those [sings] too. We just don't have meat or cheese [eder]. Is it weird that it didn't come with cheese or meat or [anysing]?"

Enoch Runs away and plays then comes back and taps me on the shoulder as I am typing this and says:

Enoch: "Oh and it didn't come [wis] any salt and pepper [eider]. Is that weird?"
ME: Yeah that is weird.
Ezra: "What is weird?"
Enoch: "that it didn't come [wis]any salt and pepper."
Ezra: "what's weird?"
Enoch: "I [jus] told you. That it didn't come [wis] any salt and pepper."
Ezra: "what's weird? he he he" Enoch tackles Ezra and shouts "I [jus] told you, you crazy guy."



Ezra: "I'm the king"
Enoch: " You're the king and I'm your servant"

Enoch runs to get a sword and play silk and asks me to tie the play silk around his neck while he turns the Bumbo over and places it on his head.

Enoch: "mom what's a servant?"
ME: you serve the king. You do whatever he asks you to-get him a drink, fix him food, pick up his clothes.
Enoch: "I [jus] don't have any clothes to pick up" they go to play and I hear
Enoch: "tell me to do [somesing]"
Ezra: "Pick up these toys! Pick this up! Put this in the kitchen!"

They move to the bedroom for the Servant to use the play food to cook for the king.

Enoch: "king since there is two of [everysing] (looking at the play food) can I have one?"

later--Enoch: King I need to go to the bathroom."
Ezra: "we don't have any bathrooms"
Enoch: "yes we do it's down the hall."
Ezra: "oh!" follows Enoch into the bathroom.
Enoch: "No I'm taking my hat off." Ezra leaves
Enoch: "Servant is done king"
Ezra: "oh"

I wish I had all day to write this down because it just gets better and better but I have to go make dinner. DARN! Wish you all could see this it is super funny.

Jokes And Not So Jokes

Enoch talking to his Granddaddy says: "I have a new joke"
Granddaddy: "What is it?"
Enoch: "Where does the sheep go to get a haircut?"
Granddaddy: "I don't know"
Enoch "The baa baa shop"

Granddaddy: "do you know any other jokes?"
Enoch: "Yeah, If you go fishing on Sunday, the only thing you'll catch is the Devil"

Ezra: "Hey Granddaddy I have a new joke."
Granddaddy: "What is it?"
Ezra: "I got a new nut--ha ha ha"
Granddaddy: "Oh wow!"
Enoch: "That isn't a joke."
Ezra: "Yes it is"
Enoch: "But I just don't [sink] it sounds like one"

Surprises

Me: "Ezra, what happened to your face?
Ezra silently shrugs shoulders
Me: Enoch did you hurt Ezra's face?
Enoch: "We were wrestling pretty rough and I bumped his head with my head"
Me: You can't make marks like that by bumping two heads together. Look at those red lines on his face.
Enoch: "oh, what do you do to make those marks?"
Me: They look like scratch marks to me.
Enoch: "Oh, I guess I scratched him. (pause) But I didn't REALLY scratch him. (pause) Maybe it was an accident."


Ezra was supposed to finish his lunch. When I walked by his plate was empty and I said: Ezra you're done! Ezra looked surprised.
When I put the baby in bed I walked back through the kitchen and Enoch and Ezra were looking in the microwave. Enoch said: "He didn't finish he put his food in a bowl and put it in the
microwave."
After I sorted things out and re-directed Ezra to eating his lunch Enoch said: "Mom, Ezra tricked you for a reason. And that reason was cause he didn't want to eat."

I was talking to Enoch about setting an example today and he said: "mom, does Ezra do everything I do usually?"

Enoch: "no he was nice and you weren't in my dream"

Enoch was bugging Ezra and Ezra said "NO! UH!"
