{kids say the darndest things}

so my loving and sweet 2 year old continues to keep my world a little brighter. i've said before that i wish i could capture every moment, every expression, every everything of these little people's lives....but alas, i cannot.

i am cursed with a horrible memory (thank you, colquest genes!) which is why i (try to) write things down, take a gazillion pictures, and take many videos. of course i'm like most parents and am crazy about my children, but i never want to forget these times (even thought i know it is inevitable unfortunately!)....

anyways, here a few 'funnies' that my boy has shared with us recently:

-ian finds a receipt on the floor by my bag and stuffs it in his pocket. then, a little while later, pulls it out and says "hmmm, according to the list we need to go to the tore (store) and buy tuff (stuff) for my birthday"
    haha, according to the list? really?

-as some of you know, we are renting a house. the previous renters thought they would make the backyard (which like most arizona yards are covered completely in rocks) a little more appealing and have a patch of grass. they built a {very unsturdy} arbor over this patch of grass (i'm horrible at determining size and distance of things, so i can't tell you how big it is-and it's dark, so i'm not going to go outside and figure it out!). as you can guess, no-we do not have a lawnmower, nor do we have a weed eater. so, now that it is monsoon season, the grass/weeds are growing like crazy. today i had the urge to just go pull the weeds around the yard and some of the grass on the patch of grass. ceci wanted to wear my second glove, so i let her use it for awhile, then it was ian's turn. he worked really hard, pulling up grass with me ;)    here is our converstaion while we were pulling grass/weeds: "mommy, you are pulling BIG grass, and i am pulling little grass." "mommy, you are working a little hard and i am working super duper hard" "mommy, please don't pull the grass right there, that's where i am working"

-as we sit down for dinner (basically every single night when we sit down for dinner, ian realizes he has to go to the bathroom), so tonight he just says "actually guys, i have to go to the potty"....

-"but most of all i like to play in ceci's room (pause), but most of all i like to play in my room"


and those are just some current ones....more to come at another time!!!! (assuming i remember them...)
