the things they say....

Lately A has said some things that were memorable. So I wanted to put them down for prosperity and really to be frank--to have proof when she is a teenager and doubts all I say.

August 2009
(in the car)
Jim: A, stop talking we need to listen to the traffic report
A: Dad stop REPRESSING me!!!


(same trip--later in the day--waiting for the ferry)
Kris: A stop playing with the buttons. (the automatic window button for the van)
A: M I have a button and I know how to use it



Summer 2009
(at Teddy's Burgers in Woodinville)
Kris: A, eat your nuggets.
A: They're too hot.
Kris: No they aren't and M ate his.
A: Well Mom you know I have more sense then he does. (she meant more sensitivity but it still applies)



Fall 2010
(in the van)
Jim: A please be quiet.
A: Dad I am just talking to myself.....loudly.



And M, as always wanting to be part of the action, even has one.
Summer 2010
(at home)
Jim watches M watching Curious George on TV jumping on couch. Jim, leaves room and goes to the office. M comes in and starts jumping.
M: I'm couching!


I am sure I will be adding more soon--there is always something.

Volunteer Park

We went to Volunteer Park in Seattle yesterday for the first time. M loved it. He could run and sit and be the little Viking he is without Mom freaking out. He likes to "wim", especially if there are no waves. (another story for another day). A kept saying she wasn't happy because she couldn't swim or jump. But I think the picture tells another story. :)

GO TEAM!!!!

So it has been suggested (repeatedly) that I start blogging. Do you think it is because I constantly barrage ( read annoy and pester) my friends and family with my stories? :) Who knows--but it is a good idea. Then my friend Larissa threatened to set it up or me and you all know how I like control. So here it goes! Be prepared for silly thoughts from A and M and a little insight into the chaos which we call home. GO TEAM!!!!
