Little Bit of Cottage Cheese

Let me preface by saying, it's the first full on rain storm morning we've had since school began. Normally we sit with the windows rolled down waiting for the bus, but couldn't today because of the rain. This was also the first morning the boys were gassy.

Me: OMG, who farted? That is horrible!
Nicky: Me!!
Tristan: Me!!
Me: Guys!! Stop, we can't roll down the windows, it's pouring rain! Tell the teacher you have to use the bathroom when you get to school!!
Nicky: But I don't have to poop, just fart!
Tristan: When I eat cottage cheese I fart. It's so annoying! So maybe I can just eat a little cottage cheese and have little farts? Little tiny puffs. And then just drink a little water too.
Nicky: Why little water?
Tristan: So I only have to pee a little.

Then the windows fogged and I'm pretty sure we all passed out due to the toxic smells. The end.

Just kidding, I rolled down the windows to save us all. Wet car trumps fart smells any day.

Hello No Kitty

Me: What do you guys want to be for Halloween?
Nicky: A vampire!
Tristan: A dragon!
Me: Okay, but we've done those costumes before, why don't we go to a Halloween store and look around and see all the different costumes they have there!
Nicky: Oh yeah!! Let's do that! Do they have cat costumes? Like a black cat?
Tristan: Ohhhhhh no! No way! I am NOT being Hello Kitty!!

Picture Day!

Me: Tristan, can you please smile nicely for pictures today?? Let me see how you're going to smile!!

T: Like this?

Me: No!! Try again!
T: Like this?

Me: *groan*
T: ....like this?

Me: Agh! Smile nicely!
T: Okay...like this!

I probably should've bribed the kid.


NOTE: Pictures from different occasions, but same faces were made in the car...mostly...the last one might be edited slightly...

Got Bass?

Tristan: Mommy! Press the bass button, I can't hear the music!!
Me: T, the bass button isn't really to make the music louder...
Nicky: Yeah Tris, duh. The bass is what my daddy plays.

Lovey Warning

Tristan: Ah, it's warning time!!
Me: What does that mean?
Tristan: It's when it's half morning and half rainy!!
Me: Oh, okay! But where does the "w" come from?
Tristan: .....it's just what they call it Mom.

AutoZone

Tristan: Hey Mom, did you get this car at AutoZone?
Me: No, why would you think that?
Tristan: *Points to radio*

Hazard of Hazard Lights

9/12/13 - I put on my hazard lights when I park on the side of the street in the morning, because I'm extra cautious like that (I might also enable the e-break). The boys were really excited to see the red light blink on and off, they asked me what it was and why I had them on.

Little did I know the questions were a prequel for the next 5 minutes of imitating the "click click click" of the hazard light sound. ....

Welcome! As I sat trapped patiently waiting for the bus to arrive to whisk my kindergartners off to school, I thought I might try blogging about these 5 - 8 minutes with Tristan and Nicky. Because, let me tell you, so much can be discussed, questioned, and thought about in that short amount of time!

We wait in my car since the stop is on a back road that people fly down, and that's how this blog began! Honestly, I had never realized how tiny my car is, but with 2 kiddos jumping around in the backseat, excitedly waiting for their bus to pull up, it suddenly felt much smaller than usual! In fact, I've already perused autotrader.com before starting this blog. I finally get it soccer moms, the further back you can put kids in a minivan the more peace and quiet you get!

And we're off...

Good Morning World!!
