I was having a conversation with my baby last night.  He just turned 5, and I like to talk to him about his dreams for when he’s older.  Here’s what his thoughts are on the subject of marriage.

Mom: What do you want to be when you grow up?

#5: I want to be a basketball player.  But I don’t think we have a basketball.

Mom: Do you want to get married?

#5: Nope.

Mom: Who’s going to make you dinner?

#5: Me.

Mom: What about children?  Are you going to have children?

#5:  No, I don’t want any children.  I’m going to have a dog.  He’s going to be black, white and green.  I will name him Max.

Mom: What kind of house are you going to live in?  Who’s going to clean it?

#5: I can clean it.  My house is going to be green and orange. I’m going to make sweet, juicy steak for dinner.  Can I bring my rock collection inside?  I don’t want it to get wet.

Mom: No, rock collections look better outside.

#5: I’m going to have my rock collection in MY house.

Mom: Are you sure you don’t want to get married?  Who will scratch your back?

#5: I can scratch my own back!  See? (he stood up and reached around and scratched his back).

Mom: Won’t you be lonely at your house?

#5: No, Max my dog  will be there.

Mom: Don’t you like kids?

#5: Yes.

Mom: Do you like women?

#5: I like women, I just don’t need one.

His father thinks this is the funniest thing he’s ever said..

When it’s cold and gross out like it is now, we like to do a little

Wii Fit for our homeschool PE classes.  This morning I notice

#5 doing this on the Wii Balance Board.

I’m not sure how he thought this pose was the correct

one when doing this game.. but it certainly is funny.

The point of of Lotus Focus.. is to remain perfectly still

while sitting on the balance board.  Your candle will flicker

if you move.. if you move too much your candle will go out

and you will lose.

You can do it #5.. focus..

You have a ways to go before you beat your mother at inner peace!

(Take that doubting husband.. he thinks I’m high strung.. what does he

know.. the Wii says I’m not!)

I know I’ve gone over how much #5 loves Transformers.  Here… Here… Here… and Here..  Just in case you don’t believe me… I present to you..#5 King of the Transformers..

He sleeps with his Bumblebee helmet every night.  I think it’s funny

how it looks like Bob the Builder (on his pillowcase) is wearing the helmet.

He does this every night.. It’s pretty cute isn’t it?

Sunday we went to The Man’s parents house to celebrate Christmas with them.  I affectionately call my mother and father in law Ward and June Cleaver.  I’ve done this because The Man has always referred to his childhood as living the life of The Cleavers.. you know the show “Leave it to Beaver” ?

I don’t know if you can see Sam (he’s the cat with the green arrow above his head).

This photo reminds me of him being a “basement cat” from that cute site Icanhascheezburger.

The day started out great… the stockings were hung…

The men were relaxing.  That’s The Man and his baby brother.. oh and

#2′s there in the back and black.

Here’s #4 and his uncle.  They are pretty cute huh?

(oh and they both are single… You’ll have to wait a while for #4 though)

It was a pretty normal family Christmas party.. trees, stockings, food, family.. until we got

to the presents.  Here’s #2.. nothing too weird here.

We have #4 opening is rocket ship.. This kid loves space.  He’s going to be

the first kid from our little town on the Moon.

Here’s #4 and his uncle “the punk” playing with the rocket..

Then we came to #5.. he’s been wanting one of these for a LONG time.

He loves Transformers, and this Bumblebee Voice Changer Helmet is

a perfect gift for this kid.

Here #2 and my mother in law “June” (without the pearls and heels)

watching  the festivities.

Wait.. what’s this? It looks like #4 has found something..

Could it be?  Did #5 leave the Bumblebee helmet UNATTENDED?

Holy Smokes.. #4 has been spotted with the helmet. That blur there is

#5 coming over to get his helmet back.  Can you see the Bumblebee

Transformer car he dropped on the floor?

He’s not happy…

He’s working  up to throwing a fit…

Wait.. The Man busts into the room to save the day…

Peace and Order is restored and #4 gave him the helmet back.  Whew…

melt down diverted to another day.
