we had a busy week this week. to recap the highlights....we will start with noah (my youngest) . he announces on the way to school, "i can't wait till i get old and can drive (thanks for that!). cause when i drive i am going to drive with my feet and never my hands!!!!" yes this was said in all seriousness. he very much reminds me of max from wizards of waverly place. if you've never seen it, check it out. i laugh every time. o.k. back to his feet comment... his oh so wise older brother (by all of 19 months) responds, "well that would be very dangerous and you could not turn well." he is actually very much like the oldest bother on the show. it's good times! noah had to do a report on cougars this week. found out some pretty cool stuff. they can jump lengthwise over a school bus, they eat 10 lbs of meat a day (same as 40 hamburgers), and they don't chew their food just swallow it whole. much like moms have to do when we have toddlers. i have to brag on my guy because he got 20/20 on his report. so very proud!!! he has also decided to have a captain america bday party. what was the deciding factor you might ask? (o.k. you probably didn't, but i forgive you) thomas decided the day before that captain america was his favorite super hero, so being the typical younger brother, noah calls dibs on the bday decorations. thomas is mad, but i'm quite pleased because i will just reuse them in october :-)
thomas' teacher asked the kids to pick from a list what they wanted to be when they grew up. since when do you have to pick from a teacher provided list?! anyway! being my son and all, he of course does not pick from her list. he tells her he is going to be a police detective. he has been saying this for awhile now, so he is pretty adamant when people ask. police officer was on the list and he said he knew he had to start there, but planned to work his way up to detective. now for some side info for the rest of our conversation... my mom's house was broken into a few months ago. ever since the kids have been 'plotting' what would happen if someone broke into ours. i use the word plotting, because they are very much like the kid on home alone. so back to my chat with thomas.... after we talked about his defying his teacher, he tells me not to worry about getting old (once again! thank you very much!). he goes on to tell me that since he will be such an awesome police detective, he will be able to catch the bad guys if they try to break into our home. i of course want to know how. he tells me that since he is quick like a ninja he will be able to sneak up on the bad guy and then..... hit him on the head with a bottle of juice (there is a bottle of juice on the table from my grocery shopping that day). i am of course duly impressed. with his cocky grin and hands on his hips, he says, "yeah after i knock him out, i'll handcuff him and you will be safe. so you really shouldn't worry."
to top off my week, i made up a new recipe. it's based off of the dominoes spinach cheesy bread. yum! yum!!!! turned out really good but want to use a larger pan next time, so i can spread the dough thinner. i will post recipe on next blog. i've got to remember to write down my ingredients :-) thanks for reading and have a lovely weekend!
