Natalie isms

"Mom watch me ride the goooder"

"Please pass the chep up" (hint its great on fries)

OK, we are going to clean up now (after we ate Sunday lunch)... Natalie takes one look at the kitchen and completely exasperated says (with lots of body language) "We are going to clean ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT!" she starts crying and leaves, not much time passed and I found her curled up in her fort asleep... apparently it was too much for her to handle!

Natalie, let Tanner use that chair to sit in.
"No that chair is for my bunny!"
Natalie your dolls are not alive, they wont care, just let Tanner sit there for a minute.
"But MY BUNNY CARES!" (I wish I could show the body language to go along... it makes the whole experience)

Ethan days

Ethan, I will give you more milk if you get off the counter.....

Ethan, why are you eating like a dog?

Natalie why did you cut your hair? (her pony tail was cut off)
Natalie replied "Ethan did it"
Ethan!!!
Ethan replies "Me!"

Last night my friend asked where Ethan was on Sunday because the nursery class was so quiet without him,

If I dont see or hear from Ethan every few minutes I start getting anxiouty

If Samantha starts crying I usually call for Ethan... and he usually comes running (away from samantha)!

I buy washable markers because I have children... I wish I wouldve taken a picture, Ethan drew with black on every key on the piano, and all over my white craft table and mixed in many other colors, and lots of paper... my piano is restored, but my table will never be the same... washable I guess most of the time.

Did I mention the 50 pencil holes that are in the top of my white leather desk chair?

Ethan, dont put screws in Natalies toast!

How do you crack 2 dozen eggs in less than one second? Ask Ethan....

"Oh, hey Ethan dont suck on the Ketchup container."

"Ethan, dont sit on Samantha"  (his 6mth old sis)... Ethans reply"Pep!"   ..."No Samantha is not a horse, you cant ride on her back!"

Curiousity killed the plant... and almost both cats.

Who stinks??  MEEE! (Ethan)

Ethan, DONT poop in the tub, poop in the toilet!

Ethan, you only get one treat because you peed a little on the couch too.

Ethan, you need to eat your breakfast... what are you doing??  POOP! (Ethan)

Ethan!! Dont wash the phone!!  ....(too late)

Ethan, I know we are out of milk, but dont put toilet water in your cereal.

Ethan, dont kick the baby!

Ethan, dont wipe your bum with Izaacs report card!!! (he cries like I am the meanist mom ever... oh, by the way, "where is your diaper?")

So showers are my favorite time of day... Its so relaxing. Its the one time during the day that I am alone and relaxing. Its like going to the spa without the headache of going to a spa... well I can imagine there is a lot of headache associated.. and that is why I enjoy taking a shower so much. It is generally me time... until I hear.. pitter patter pitter patter... "Ethan?" Then I see a diaper fly, and I know its over...
