Keely came home from school today all frantic telling me I needed to email her teacher about a "mean substitute" her class had today. I did email her teacher (as her story included the substitute throwing a colored pencil at another student which hit him just above the eye) and after the email sent, Keely said, "That's cool! I hope I get gmail when I get older."

For my first 5K that I ran, it was a turkey trot in DC. Chris, Keely, Kai and Chris' dad went to the race with me. After we'd finished, we took a picture with a big turkey that was there at the finish line. Chris and I were talking about the 5K race I ran this past Sunday morning.
Kai: Was the rooster there?
(It took me a second to understand what he was talking about then I realized he was remembering the turkey trot I ran on Thanksgiving.)
Kai: Was this there? (he made a fist with his right hand, stuck his thumb out and put fist flat against his left palm which had all five fingers spread wide - he was making a turkey with his hands!)

Chris and I were out with the boys while Keely was at a birthday party on Sunday. We were all kind of hungry so we stopped at McDonald's. I told Chris to just get the boys happy meals but, of course, he didn't get them. He got the 20 nuggets for $4.99 and he got me a diet Coke. Kai and Keegan were upset because they wanted french fries and chocolate milk. Keegan calls french fries "beach byes."
Kai (still upset that he didn't get what he wanted): I don't want chicken nuggets all alone. My tummy won't like it.

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I've posted something here. You'd think my kids were in a dry spell of humor... but for this long? A lot of their humor isn't verbal but the faces they make, the dances they do and even when they wrestle each other making noises like they are in the fight of their lives. So fun to watch!
So, several of these next posts came from this past weekend where Keely had 2 birthday parties to go to and a Brownie function at a bowling alley.
As we were driving Keely to her 2nd birthday party on Sunday, we passed by a middle school that has a huge hill. Last year when we had a lot of snow (waaaay more than this year), we went sledding on that hill. Well, Kai noticed the hill.
Kai: That's where we slide our sleds!
A couple of days before the weekend, I was helping Kai in the bathroom after he'd pooped. When he goes, I'll hear him call for me.
Kai: MOOOOOMMYYYYYYY, I POOOOOOOPED!
(I yell back that I'm coming.)
I bend him forward while he sits on the toilet so I can wipe him and tell him he's my super-duper-pooper.
Kai: You have big legs. And big feet. And a big, big butt.
