Happy Birthday.. You Filthy Animal…

Today is my sweet baby #5's birthday.. He requested ham and cheese hobbits (aka to most people.. an omelet), biscuits and gravy (on another plate) and a chocolate doughnut.

#5 is a funny kid… This morning I was making his breakfast and he walked in and said; "Oh yea, you're making my breakfast! Keep it up!"

On this day.. with the muddy feet.. I didn't think he was so funny. One thing about this kid.. he likes to GET dirty.. but he hates to BE dirty. Which makes for a BIG laundry day when he goes outside to play.

Happy Birthday You Filthy Animal!

Out of the Mouth of a Baby..

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..

Inner Peace or Lotus Focus… Anyway you look at it.. It’s cute!

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!)
