Random Memories

“I was looking for taffi and she came out of your bedroom and went outside, I went outside with her and I saw the moon but I couldn’t go up to the moon.”
The late night adventures of Ezra continue.

“Take your boat elsewhere, that’s the dance floor.” – Me

Noah, “I wish I could have a dragon.”
Ezra, “yea, but we can’t bring one here. Hey Mom, why can’t we bring a dragon here?”
Me, “ummm.”
Noah, “Come on mom, some are baby dragons and don’t breath fire, PLEASE!”

So Ezra asked for some words that started with x. Me, X-ray, xerox, zebra.

Noah and I were laying in bed relaxing. Ezra crawls up with blankie and a pillow. Next thing I know he is standing over Noah, whacking him in the face with the pillow, saying “does this feel like a dream?” Then they both erupted in giggles.

Must be greeting close to beach time. The boys decided to help “pack” sunscreen by smearing it all over themselves.

The boys are in the living room.
Ezra runs in to tell me, “Mommy, someone is staring at me!”
Me, “What? Like a person?”
Ezra, “Yes he is looking right at me!”
Me, “Where? Show me?”
Ezra points to the person, it was Jackson the cat.
Cats are people too.

Ezra never says ‘I love you’ to me. This evening he ran into the kitchen, gave me a huge hug, and said “you know I love you mommy!” (July 16, 2013)

Does anyone else immediately wonder “was it my kids?” when they get an email from vbs stating that the fire alarm inadvertently went off today? (it wasn’t!)

Ezra, “mommy watch this!”
Me, “you just asked for a sandwich. Do you want me to watch you or make your food?”
Ezra, “I want you to do both.”

Things that snuck into my cart while I wasn’t looking, cabbage and lettuce. My kids are weird.

Me: asleep
Ezra: mommy, I’m going to read a book in bed so you can sleep!

Ezra’s latest middle of the night hijinks- He go on my computer and texted daddy’s phone.

Woke up at 3 am to find a blanket on the floor next to my bed but no kid. Went to check their room and the door was locked, unlocked it and both kids were sleeping soundly. Asked them this morning and Ezra said he just wanted to put the blanket there and that he locked to door so the blanket didn’t come back. Kids do weird things in the middle of the night. I wonder what else goes on around here.

Last day of school. Noah was named the class mathematician and Ezra the class scientist. So proud of them. (preschool 3’s class)

When two little boys are jumping up and down shouting, “someone is here! Someone is here!” next to the little window by your door, you can’t just ignore the solicitor who rang the doorbell.

I’m going to be sad when the boys stop calling goggles gargoyles.

The boys just locked me in the chicken coop. How long until Matt notices? (thankfully it wasn’t too long)

Laying in bed listening to the boys play over the monitor and I just heard, “this is going to be even more dangerous!”

“That boy can hold a conversation!” – the tree trimmer’s thoughts on Ezra

I love waking up to giggling boys, but … 3:30 am was a little ridiculous.
