Quotes from MrBrawn

Last Sunday MrBrawn answered the phone when his mom called. She said, "hey baby, what are you doing?" He said, "Choosing a movie with my daddy." He was talking about my hubby, I just about melted.

Earlier in the day he was talking to a teenager from church who has 2 sets of parents. He said, "I have two mommies and two daddies too. I have Mommy S, Mommy M, Daddy D, and.....oh crud, I forgot the other one but I know I have another daddy." He forgot his bio dad's name.

On the way home from preschool I asked "What did you do today? Did you use the marker boards?" His response was priceless (and he obviously heard if from an adult), "Nope, I just farted around all day."

Looks like MrMonkey has allergy induced asthma... Same exact symptoms as big sis had at this age... Strange...

    • Stephanie Wilson Short siblings--natural, fostered, adopted have a uncanny way of being like their family members they are close to. You and Daryl will grow to look like each other, then you all will look like your dogs.... Watching the moon--the cold is trigger my cough this am too. There are still persistent desert plants shedding their love around too.

    • Wallin Sara I agree Stephanie. It's because we're together so much we start to rub off on each other. I'm pretty sure the dog has learned to say ” NO!” from the kids.
      Stupid desert plants neec to stop sharing.

My kids crack me up! This morning MrBrawn announced that Uncle Lee would be arriving today in a rocket ship. Later, MrMonkey was sitting on the couch quoted, to no one particular, Train Your Dragon... ”Dragons always, always go for the kill.” Tonight, We took an adventure to get Uncle Lee from the airport. In Cal-Nev-Ari, I heard my daughter say ”Look! It's a village!” This after she quoted a Barbie movie to me, ”Are we there yet, we've been walking forever...” — withDaryl Staley and 4 others.


Funniest moment so far today, MrMonkey crawling along the floor, eating one cheerio at a time, in response to my request to "pick up your spilled cereal"

Big brother manipulation at it's best!
MrBrawn decided to play with MrMonkey's toy truck (they have the same one) and broke the wheel completely off. Brawn brought it to me to fix and I told him he was out of luck (not knowing it was not his truck). He said, "No, Monkey is out of luck." I told him that his brother was going to be upset when he realized that big brother broke his truck. He took the broken wheel to Monkey and said, "Look how cool this is! Now that it's not stuck on the truck you can roll it all the way across the floor! Isn't that cool!?" To which Monkey replied, starstruck, "yeah...cool..."
Brawn walks proudly over to me, "See, Mom, he's not upset, he thinks it's cool." — with Daryl Staley.
