My 3 Sons: A Very Merry Unbirthday

A Very Merry Unbirthday

Cole looked forward to the last day o' preschool not 'cuz he was happy to be done for the summer (although that has its perks when the sun is actually out & we just wanna play vs. normal routine) but it allowed him & the other summer birthday kids to celebrate in advance:) He brought something nonedible last year (animal-shaped squirt guns), so this year he requested traditional cupcakes! His plan for weeks (like mother like son:)) was to have pink frosting with princess toppers for the girls & green frosting with TNMT toppers for the boys; however, the latter was not available & I got cheap @ the party store. We decided to save the cool ninja guys for his real b-day goodie bags (guess I gotta go online to find the TNMT stuff he still wants for Aug.) & stick to Kung-Fu Panda toppers for now. He'd just gone to see the movie the previous night with his dad & some friends so he could provide a review too:) I figured the girls wouldn't really care anyway as long as they could still enjoy the sweet treat?! Funfetti is for everybody even if my boys are now claiming to be "aklergic to girls":)

Can't believe my eldest son is headed to kindergarten in the fall?! Whoa! IF I can get myself up & moving in the morning, I'll still have a couple hours with just the baby (or my bed or to get ready for the day:)) 'cuz it'll be Dane's turn to have preschool & both will be gone on MWF starting in Sept!

COLE-oquialisms & Dane Speaks

Sad to say we've only been to one M's game this season, but Cole showed how cultured he was when he asked if the LA Dodgers were French?! :)
When I was @ the gas station, another car actually backed into me! When I got into my own car & told the boys, Cole asked if I was dead?! :)
My birthday is 4 days after my niece's, so was discussing both with the boys when I sent her a b-day card in the mail. Cole said he didn't realize that Annie was older than me:) Never mind that she's actually 30 yrs. younger?!
Earlier today while enduring another downpour @ the cabin:(, Dane asked Grandma Neecy if she could text Heavenly Father to make it stop raining?! Needless to say, sun came out as we were driving away!
As we were leaving Grandpa Gar's house last night on his happy birthday, Dane got upset. While this was no surprise-ugh! his reason was = "I don't have my duddy bad yet?!" Don't all 55 y.o. give out goody bags @ their parties too? Gotta love him! Little did he know, it was in the form of a nice dinner @ The Keg & all of the treasures they jack from his box @ dental office:) The list of things they've rec'd from Grandpa's duddy bad goes on & on...
Dane has a bit of an angry youth streak that manifests itself quite frequently these days. He got mad when I said he couldn't have a sip of his drink from a restaurant after 9p ('cuz any parent knows that would make him wee wee wee all the way home!) and called me a dummy! when Cole jumped to my defense & told his brother that was rude, Dane's only correction was to say he "meant a dummy you can punch" as if that made it any better?!
While mom's away (@ TOFW), the boys will play...with their dad! They started making plans the night before 'cuz dad treats 'em real nice-On past occasions, it's not uncommon for him to take 'em out to breakfast, lunch & a movie:) We all know who the fun parent & their best buddy in the whole world is & if there was any doubt, he makes 'em repeat it pretty much daily:) Anyway, the point of this story was while Cole was listing off the unlimited XBox hours they would log, baseball-weather permitting, movies upon movies, happy meals=basically "we can do whatever we want", Dane was deep in thought-Then his contribution to the agenda was "We can make toast?!" As if that is taboo for mom & he doesn't have daily with pb & that's such a wild & crazy idea?! Made us laugh once again!
Bedtime is not the happiest in the Parker household; not only does it take forever but the boys don't seem to think it's fair no matter the hour but esp when we're trying to be responsible parents on a school night:) Cole declared that it won't really matter what time he goes to sleep when he drops out after kindergarten:( He was dead serious even though "You've got 12 more years of this buddy!" is a repeated answer from mom-ugh! Isn't he a lil' early for those feelings toward school?
Cole is very cognisant of his age: Today he told me he was too old for a BABYsitter & that they hereafter should be called KIDsitters 'cuz what do babysitters do? Sit on babies? Glad he's looking out for his littlest bro:)
I told Cole if he wasn't careful Dane would overtake his funny quote section:) I love listening to them when they aren't being wild & crazy in the car. They carry on their own conversation in the back while I'm driving & today it was about new Primary girls that they were going to visit with me. Dane said that he was still aklergic to girls & Cole questioned why 'cuz they're nice except they agreed that the ones @ preschool weren't always that way. Dane asked if they still thought boys were "tupid" there & Cole said some did. They both thought that wasn't good & Dane asked Cole if he told them it wasn't...apwopwiate:) How did he come up with that word? Apparently this topic is very important to them 'cuz yesterday they had a similar discussion & Cole told Dane "You know, you'll have to marry one someday...a girl! I'm in love with one now, but I probably won't marry her though" & Dane said "I'll just watch you!"
I think he was trying to compliment my cooking, but came out like this instead: "Mom, this dinner is so good it makes me not even want to throw it up!" Uh, thanks Cole?! He approached me right after dinner & said he wanted something warm to eat like chicken or steak?! He settled for a warm drink=hot chocolate:)
Cole asked me why Dad's favorite drink was called Dr. Pepper. He paused & reflected for a minute, then decided that it was a bit spicy & twinkled his tongue...which, he added, is why he doesn't like pepper on his food...but apparently he doesn't mind the liquid version?! don't worry, it's not a regular part of his diet @ 5 y.o. Just liked his analysis of its name-
I was watching some extra boys tonight & they ran down the stairs screaming with flashlights. Besides being overstimulated myself & wanting to restore order, I reminded them that we don't shine the light right into people's eyes. Cole added "Yeah 'cuz then they'll turn blond!":)
On the way to school we passed a construction site. Cole declared that he didn't want to be "home worker" 'cuz it was hard work! He then stated that he was going to be a ninja 'cuz he thought that would be an easier job yet would still help people:) When I asked him where he was going to get his uniform, he simply said "on E-bay"...like where else mom?!
