New Baby?

Benjamin: "Mom, can you have a baby tonight so I don't have to go to school tomorrow? Oh, and I want a girl."

Let me see what I can do!!

One of the other mom's at school just had a baby and her daughter must have stayed home from school that day!! Too cute!!

Volcanoes on Vacation

So...Benjamin is home sick from school today and he wanted to discuss Christmas presents...it went a little something like this...

Me: "What if we go on vacation instead of buying Christmas presents?"

Benjamin: "No way! I do not want to do that!"

Me: "What if we go to Disney World or to Mexico?"

Benjamin: "No...not even if we go there...beside everywhere that is not Michigan has volcanoes...I'm serious mom! Even Mexico! For real mom!"

Me: "Well, Mexico is really big."

Benjamin: "I know-because it has volcanoes!"

Haha! Okay...

Bedtime Ramblings

Benjamin: "Look at my belly button...it's so nice and round...like a yummy donut! I love my round belly button donut!"

Leaves

So we have a massive tree in front of our house which is great in the fall for making huge leaf piles for the boys to jump in!!!

Zoo Boo

So this year we went to Zoo Boo at the Detroit Zoo with Dale, Amy, Molly, and Henry. The zoo was decorated for Halloween and they had little games and candy stations. The weather was bad all day but ended up being really nice for the time that we walked around the zoo. It was so much fun and we had a great time catching up with some friends that we don't see often! Plus the kids thought it was great!

More career options

Benjamin: "I want to be a pirate when I grow up!"

Dylan: "You know you won't get paid...not even $1"

Allergic

I only got part of this convo b/c I was in my bathroom getting ready. Dylan was in his room playing and Benjamin is going poop in his bathroom. Why they were having a convo during this is beyond me!


Benjamin: "I'm allergic to it (don't know what "it" is)"

Dylan: "No you're not...do you even know what "allergic" means?"

Benjamin: "Yeah, it means if you eat it you die!"

Dylan: "Yup...well you don't always die"
