Growing Up and Moving On To Bigger and Better

So with Logan quickly approaching 4 (too quick if you ask me, but I'm just the mom) we are trying to break some habits and become a bigger "big boy". The other day the kids were watching Swan Princess (it was Chloe's turn to pick) and Prince Derek had a bow and arrow. I was cleaning my room and Logan says, "Mom, come in here I have to tell you something!" So I go in and sit by him and very matter of fact like this is how the conversation went:

Logan: Mom, can I get a bones and arrow?
Mom: Why?
Logan: Just so I can practice shooting with it.
Mom: What are you going to shoot?
Logan (thinking): Umm, may I can just shoot the walls or something, just to see if I can hit what I want to.
Mom: We'll see (the ultimate answer to any question).

So, I had a grand idea! After talking to Seth, this is the conversation Logan and I had today.

Mom: So Logan, what would you say if I said we can go get you a bow and arrow if you will throw your blankie in the trash.
Logan: Okay Mom!
Mom: No Logan, that means you can never, ever have it again. It will be gone. Not to sleep with or drive (he gets to take it to AZ when we drive) or anything.
Logan: Okay Mom! Lets go!

Seth came home early and we went out and found this kid a "bones and arrow". We came home, put it together and well....

(He really wasn't this sad, he was being silly)

Nice upgrade!

Funnies

I wish I wrote down more of the conversations I have or hear during the day. I need to be better at that. So, here are today's funnies.

While Logan, Chloe and I are playing basketball in Logan's room I made a few baskets and said,
"Momma's smoooooooth".

Logan after moving closer to make a basket says, "Mom, we are smoothies!"

Loved it!

While getting Chloe dressed today:

Mom: Chloe, lets go comb your hair okay. Should we just do two little pigs today?

Chloe: No mommy, I want it cute and I don't want daddy to do it!

I Can't Help It.

I have to post this picture.
Its too cute not to.
It reminds me they really do love each other
(even if it is only when sleeping).
This is what I found when checking on the kids after I put them to bed in their own rooms!
I can't think of a better way to end my day.
(smile).
Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Back into Food Storage

Pretty impressive! Best of all....its FREE! So, go ahead and try it out! Great way to get started and keep track!
