I took Keely with me to a family photo shoot (Kate and Doug) in Alexandria tonight.
Me: Turtle, guess what Miss Kate's husband does for a living?
Keely: What?
Me (excited): A meteorologist!
Keely (clearly not impressed): Oh.
Me: What? I thought you'd think that was cool!
Keely: I thought you were going to say "fashion designer."
Me: Seriously? If he were a fashion designer, he probably wouldn't have a wife and kids.

Keegan: Mommy, what you making?
Me: Coffee.
Keegan: Why you making coppee?
Me: Because Mommy likes coffee in the morning.
Keegan: I wike apple juice in da morning. And cereal. And popcorn.

We went to Ihop for dinner last week for all you can eat pancakes (which no one ordered.)
Grandmother to Keegan and Kai before we got out of the van: Alright, I don't want to hear "poopie" or "butt" anymore or we are not going in.
Kai yelled: Or "pee-pee"!

Keegan and I were walking down to the bus stop today to pick up Kai and Keely.
Keegan: Mommy, boys hab penis an butts.
Me: What do girls have?
Keegan: Just butts.

Keely was home from school today with a belly ache. She slept most of the morning and around noon, I took her with me to pick up Keegan from preschool.

When Keegan came out of his classroom, he hugged me, then Keely, and then he showed us his artwork.

Keely: Keegan, it's a big nut! You can take it out and feed it to the squirrels!
Keegan: It's not real.

The other day, Kai was playing Xbox and one of the games wouldn't read. This happens often because of dirty, grimy, sticky hands that touch the CDs. He brought the CD to me and I used my breath and my shirt to clean it. I lifted my shirt up (I was laying down on the couch) and my stomach showed.
Kai: I saw your belly button!
(after a long pause) Kai: Mommy, when other mommies see your belly button, does it hurt your feelings when they laugh?
Me: Well, I don't show other mommies my belly button.

I took Keegan to preschool this morning and asked his teachers how his first show-and-tell when yesterday.
Mrs. Nahlik: He did great! We weren't even sure he would get up there, but he did. Then we weren't sure he would say anything, because he doesn't talk much. But he did. Unfortunately, we couldn't understand everything he said.
Me: What?? He doesn't talk your ears off like he does to us at home?

When I went to kiss him goodbye, I told him not to talk any today (teasing, of course.)

Three hours later, I picked him up. We got into the van.
Me: Keegan, did you talk any today?
Keegan: Yeah.
Me: What did you say?
Keegan: I said, "I have go potty."

It was picture day at the elementary school on Thursday, 9/29, and Kai wanted a mohawk.
Kai (as I'm brushing his hair): If you only have hair in the front, it's called a "mo." If you have it in the front and back, it's called a "mohawk."
