For weeks now my six year old was asking for a hot tub in the living room for Christmas.. The other day she said.. "Mom, that's just silly.. There's NO way Santa will be able to get that down the chimney.. "
So my six year old has her first loose tooth.. She expressed that she hopes it doesn't fall out until Christmas. I asked why? Her response was.. "then I would get a visit from both Santa AND the toothfairy.. And well Mom, that would be a Christmas Miracle"... She's such a ham!

Lucien: Are you old?
I walked in the door yesterday and Chase (8) had several bumps on his cheeks.
Me: "Chase, what happend buddy - where did all those bumps come from? I hope you are not getting chicken pox."
Chase: "That's impossible! Everyone knows you get chicken pox when a chicken bites you and I havent even been near any live chickens."
Tonight while trick-or-treating Laz hit the jackpot with one particular house in our neighborhood. The man there dumped nearly all of his candy into Laz's bucket. "Oh, good." L. told him. "My bucket's full. Now we can go home."
This past weekend the twins turned 8. While they were jumping up and down dealing with their sugar induced HIGH - I concentrated on washing the dishes and picking up the torn remnants of wrapping paper I placed far too much emphasis on. Chase was shimmying around dancing with his new WWF figurine, Omar was giggeling his head off for no apparent reason. I was just about to lay down the law and ask that they both be a bit quieter when Chase runs into the kitchen with Omar trailing behind and says "Come on Mom, join in on the laughter, its good for you heart". And you know what?? It was good for my heart!
One day my husband & I took Alek(5yrs) to KFC when they were promoting the newer Star Wars movies (1-3). They had a souvenir cup in the shape of R2-D2. Alek ordered a kids meal. After we got our food & sat down, he went straight for the toy. Without a word to me or my husband he took his toy to the kid at the register & said, "Excuse me, you gave me the wrong toy. I wanted the robot."
After we had a good laugh we paid for the robot cup.
One day I was at my friends birthday party, we were at the beach splashing around in the water. Her little brother (4) came up to us and said "the sea is cold it makes my willy small"
