The funny things my kids say and do

My children bring me so much joy (and craziness) to my life. Each day I never know what to expect. What crazy thing will they say or do...I believe God made children not only to produce future generations but to keep us old fogeys young and remember life is too short to be too serious and anal retentive! Here are some of my kids antics that make me laugh and amaze me:

-When my babies are so tiny and just a couple weeks old they can still belch like a grown man! (of course my son can still outdo any adult male at the ripe age of 3)
-When Trinity said the nurse stripped my "anal glands" instead of my membranes-who knew I had anal glands like our dog chippy (I learn something new everyday)
-When my babies can explode like they have C-4 in their diapers...at the exact moment that Craig opens the diaper, again when he has taken off the diaper and started to put a new one on, and he screaming the whole time, "Oh, gross, oh gross...stop pooping please!" Of course it's everywhere now...they make more of a mess than all my kids at older ages put together
-When Brendan asks me to play fookywhookums (supposed to be Snookywukums) a character on his favorite cartoon "Krytpo the superdog"
-When Brendan talks a mile a minute (literally his sentences don't have any form of ending or punctuation except a pause when he takes a breath) and he ties all his sentences or thoughts together with "alsy"(his way of saying "also")
-Trinity will take at least an hour to eat her dinner (and she doesn't talk during the meal-she is just very very slow) and then dessert comes and she has devoured it in 30 seconds flat
-Trinity likes to clean her plate after she woofs down dessert...scraping the bowl or plate meticulously with her utensil until every morsel is in her stomach
-Brendan is told he can't do something and he says, "Ok I'll just do it anyway because I want to"
-Annaliese is smiling her first real smile...oh wait that's just gas again
-Brendan brags he is counting his toy puppies he has lined up..."Look Mama, 0, 5,6,7,8, 0,5,6,7,8, ZERO!"
-Brendan will eat two bites of lunch or dinner and then ask for "dersert" (dessert)...and then get mad when we say,"Yeah, nice try finish your meal"
-And last of a just a few...they refuse to eat weird food (you know eggplant or some casserole they can't distinguish the ingredients of) but they will kiss the Chip (who eats our Pomeranian Princess' pooh and the occasional mouse and lizard tail he catches) on the lips.

I love my kids and thank God for them! They definitely age me but keep me young at heart.
