Aaron wanted me to build legos with him, Maggie wanted me to play babies with her, but I needed to fold some laundry. So I told them that I needed to get my work done and then I would play with them.
Aaron: Mom, since you said that doing laundry is your work, does that mean that you get paid for it?
Me: No, it's just part of the work that I do for our family.
Aaron: No mom, that's not true. Sometimes you find money in Dads pants when you do laundry, so you DO get paid!
Maggie farted and told me "Mom, I just tooted a magical toot!" I laughed so hard that now she says it every time! (They also call a toot a poofer, because Tim told them that's what they used to call it when you toot in the water!)
Recently we visited the Museum of Science and Industry and they kids were able to do one of the science projects, which was making flubber from glue, borax and water. Goo is a polymer, meaning that it has some characteristics of a liquid and some of a solid. A few weeks later, Aaron was talking about these baby carrots that he likes that are thin. He was explaining that they aren't really hard and they aren't really soft. Then I could practically see the light bulb go off in his head and he said, "Mom, are these carrots like polymers then?"
We were at Toys R'Us looking around at the toys. Maggie and Aaron always want to go in different directions, so usually Tim and Aaron go to to the Legos and Maggie and I go look at the girly stuff. I was following Maggie around, browsing through the toys myself, when Maggie turned to me and said, "Mom, sometimes I just want to be leaved alone." I tried to keep a straight face while explaining to her that she could be "leaved alone" at home, but not at the toy store!
Maggie currently refers to her nipples as "nibbles'! This cracks me up every time!
Maggie's prayers the other night really had me laughing! She said, "Dear God, thank you for the house, the sidewalks, the sidewalk chalk, the clocks (one in Aaron's room and one in Mama & Daddy's room), the owls, and the birds. Amen" She just started praying for everything she could see!
Aaron said to Maggie, "Mags, no matter where you are- I will always invite you to my birthday party."
Maggie was dressed up like a witch for Halloween this year. When we were out trick or treating, someone said to her, "You are such a cute little witch." She turned to them and said "Thank you- I am a good witch, you know."
