Words of Wisdom from Ariel Tweeto

The kids love to watch the game show Wipeout. A while back there was a girl on the show named Ariel Tweeto and she did really well and was kind of silly, so the kids liked her. She said during one of the challenges "It easy, but it's so hard". I'm sure the kids haven't seen this episode in a few weeks. Well, we were at Chili's for dinner last night and Kate had Macaroni and Cheese. I told her it was hot so to check it before she ate it. Kate said "it looks cold, but it's so hot. Matt then said "Yeah, like Ariel Tweeto, it's easy, but it's so hard". He was totally serious. Maybe you had to be there, but Brandon and I thought it was hilarious.

What's Matt up to?

When I went to get Matt up in the morning I found open band-aids all over his room. I guess that after I put him to bed the night before he got out, went in the bathroom found the box of bandaids and opened every single one. I told him that I hope he doesn't get hurt and bleed anytime soon because I wasn't getting him anymore bandaids. So after we ate breakfast I sent him upstairs to get dressed and when he came down I found his leg was covered in Band-aids, I didn't noticed earlier since he was wearing long pants to bed. It was hard not to laugh, I was so mad that he had wasted all the band-aids, but then his leg looked so funny. I didn't want to take a picture because I was afraid it would encourage the behavior, but my friend April gave me a good idea to tell him that I was going to take a picture to help him remember to never do this again. So here it is...

And since I wrote this post a few days ago, here's what else he's done since then. He found my camera and took 60 pictures of himself and the fish tank, here are just a few...

Funny or embrassing moments

I was shopping for a new purse with the kids today. Kate was bringing me all different purses and asking me if I liked them. I would say "Yes, but it's too orange" or "it's too stripey" or "it's too big". Well I found a purse that was made of grass and looked like an upside down hat. I asked Kate if she liked it and she said "No, it's too Mexican". She said it loud enough for everyone around to hear and I was too embarrassed to ask her what she meant so we just walked away.

Matt came home from school the other day with a cross written on his hand (he goes to a Lutheran preschool, although we believe in Christ we don't typical use a cross for a symbol in our church). I asked him what it meant and he said that Jesus died on the cross for every ones sins. I laughed and he said "what mommy, they teach that at our church too". I told him he was right. By the way, Matt said "He has rosen too". I think he has learned more about the bible at this school in 2 months than his lifetime at church. Probably because nursery and Sunbeams are total chaos. I love that he is learning about Jesus. He tells me he knows Jesus loves him.
