Happy Valentine's Day

We went to Friendly's tonight, decked out in red and shared all kinds of pink ice creams.  Best Valentine's Day ever.

You WILL be my Valentine...

Buzzy sez:

Buzzy's teacher was doing the mid-year student evaluations this week.  They have to identify letters, numbers, phonic sounds, write their names, draw a picture of themselves, etc.

Teacher: (putting paper and pen down for Buzzy) "If you drew a picture of Buzzy, what would it look like?"
Buzzy: "Well, it would look just like me."

Next question...

Newton Henry sez:

Me: "Newty, what is your name?"
N: "New ton."
Me: "Newton what?"
N: "Newton Hungree."

{thoughtful pause}
"Yeah, but I don't wan't hair on my ripples."

While watching the documentary, Babies.
b: "Mommy, why is that there?"
b: "Mommy, why is he doing that?"
b: "What is that baby looking at Mommy?"
b: "Is that Africa, Mom?"
b: "Mommy, why blah, blah, blah, blah?"
me: "OK, enough with the questions, just watch and you'll see."
b: "There's a goat near that baby, Mom... that wasn't a question, it was a statement."

My mind is blown!

Went to the OB today with puffy,  swollen eyes and despite everything - massive bleeding, vomiting, nearly passing out, etc. - I am still currently pregnant! I am absolutely blown away.
Kinda came to terms with a loss and now I'm so freaking shocked, I don't even know what to think.  Hope this turns out well.

Hold on...

Not liking Roller Coasters...

I've never appreciated my two happy, healthy little boys as I do today.

Newty sez:

When I ask him to do something he clearly does not want to do:
"No-kay."

Newty sez:

"Stinky Bells, Stinky Bells!"

Buzzy sez:

"We're singing Christmas Caramels!"

Merry Christmas!

Nappy Newty

Buzzy sez:

While removing a costume: "Now I'm turning back into Buzzy!"

Happy Halloween!!

Burn...

Newty wanted Buzzy to take his shoes off for him when we got home today instead of me.  Ouch.  Doing it himself, I get.  And the recent Daddy mode, sure.  But, ouch.  Hello from the bottom of the diaper pyramid.

200 pounds!

In lieu of birthday gifts, the boys collected pantry and personal items to donate to the Food Bank. They even helped load and unload the enormous boxes of items with a volunteer.  Buzzy said to the guy helping them, "When I'm hungry, I have food.  But, some people don't."  Just a sec... there's something in my eye...

Next year, when Buzzy turns five (eeek!!) and Newt turns three (double eeek!!), I'll be giving them a choice between 2 or 3 causes to support... Heifer International, perhaps?

Ramma the Dragon

...and the valiant Sir Underpants.

Buzzy sez:

Buzzy chose to wear a red necktie when we went out to pre-birthday dinner.  Someone asked him about it and he said he was "Jack Tonneghy."  WTF? 30 Rock?

Buzzy sez:

Me: "Here's your shirt."
Buzzy: "I don't want that one!"
Me: "You want a collared shirt, huh?"
Buzzy: "Yeah, I love them very much!"
Me: "Why do you like wearing collared shirts so much?"
Buzzy: "Because I like to look sharp."

Newtie sez:

"Sheer, Dudgie! Sheer!"
Translation: "Buzzy, give me what you have!  Immediately!"

Buzzy sez:

At the Elks Oktoberfest this weekend.  After biting into a fully loaded Bratwurst:
"I don't like the sauercrap."

Corn Harvest

A 40 minute road trip in the new minivan got us to a family farm that let us "help" harvest the corn that they then chopped up for the cows.   Fun!  until I tripped into a ditch.

Obsession

Newton cannot get enough of ears.  His own and anyone else's for that matter.  He'll twiddle them all.

"I was in your belly and then I came out and was stealing milk from your ripples."

Long awaited mommy moment

 

Newtie sez:

Handing me a lollipop wrapper: "Hea... Garbee"   (Here...Garbage)

Newtie sez:

Pointing to a monkey: "A bumpkee!"

Newtie sez:

Jumping on me for a full body hug: "MY!!"  

Buzzy sez:

Upon arriving at the County Fair: " It smells like poop and something delicious!"
