Filthy

I just spent the last 7 hours painting. I painted the back entryway, the ceiling, the boys' bathroom, the stairwell to the upstairs, and the stairwell to the downstairs, as well as several of the basement walls. I was on a rampage, and I have to admit that my arms, feet, hair and clothing were covered with white paint. When the boys came home from camping, I told them that under NO CIRCUMSTANCES were they to get these newly clean walls messy again. Quinn popped of with this:

Q: "Well, it's not like you're exactly clean yourself, Mom. LOOK at you!"

The Tell

Quinn just came up to me and out of the blue said:

"Mom, if you ever see me looking like this.... I'm lying."

Moms and Sprinklers

It was hot and muggy, so Colby, Reagan and I were running through the sprinkler in the yard. Reagan wore a diaper only, Colby had a swimsuit, and I was in my shorts and t-shirt.

Colby: "Mom, why don't you get all the way wet like me?"
Mom: "I don't have my swimsuit on. I dont' want to get my clothes wet."
Colby: "Well, you can take off your shirt and run in your boobies."
Mom: "What???"
Colby: "You can wear a swimsuit or boobies when you swim. Either one is okay."
Mom: "Where did you hear that?"
Colby: "At school."

SIGH.

Vacation Bible School

The boys had a great time at vacation bible school this week. Take a peek!

A Conversation

I was showing the boys pictures of themselves this morning. They can identify themselves accurately only about 50% of the time. I'd say it's a pure toss up. "That's ME!" No it's not. That's your brother. Anyways. Colby says this.

Colby: "Oh well. It doesn't matter, because I came out first!"
Quinn: "So!"
Colby: "Well, I got stuck on the way out."
Mom: "No you didn't!"
Colby: "Yes I did, Mom. I was small, so you don't remember. I got stuck, and you had to open the garage door wider."

WOW. Where did THAT come from????

A New Game

Reagan's eating her breakfast in the highchair, and I hear the boys in there bouncing a ball.

Colby: (bounce bounce) "Over the Precious Baby"
Quinn: (bounce bounce, giggle giggle) "Over the Precious Baby"
Colby: (bounce bounce, ha ha) "Over the Precious Baby"
Quinn: (bounce bounce, hee hee) "Over the Precious Baby"

Apparently, Reagan is some kind of "net" to bounce a ball over in a boy-invented game. I forsee trouble a-brewing. And WHERE did they get "precious baby" from???
