Playing in The Rain and other silly moments!

I love my children and it's moments like this that makes me glad they are here! WP yesterday afternoon played in the rain and today she and SS are making movies! WP is a superhero! It's funny and I would included pictures but somethings are just left better to the imagination!

Let's just say she has a superhero's cape, (ie. her favorite fleece blanket) and a nice little hat (i.e. an undergarment). She's "........... Girl"!!! LOL it's hilarious to watch them make this movie! I must now address her as ........... Girl! I'm in stitches!! It's just simply hilarious! Her special signature phrase is "..........-rific"

Making the movie counts as "school" right? LOL We still have to do book work, but I don't want to drag them away from their creative process right now. So we'll just do some book work later today, perhaps after lunch! In the mean time they'll make their little move of superheros!

I'm sure books like Captain Underpants are some what to blame for this movie!

A little laughter: Kids say...

The last few posting on the blog have been a little heavy: Superstar's toe walking and political things etc. One of things I want to mention is what Superstar told the nurse yesterday while at the POS's office.

As you know it's standard procedure for the nurse to call you back into the examine room. It's also standard procedure for the nurse to weight the patient, get the patient's height (if needed), ask general question: Do you have pain, discomfort etc?

Well one of the questions the nurse asked Superstar is if his tummy has been upset. Superstar paused and responded "sometimes". I than right away said "It has? Why haven't you told Mommy your tummy has been upset/hurting?" The nurse probed some more into why his tummy has been hurting, etc. Well here's what he told her: Lack of food!

Yep that's right Superstar told the nurse that his tummy has been hurting because of lack of food! She was puzzled and didn't really understand what Superstar meant by that, so she was looking at me for answers. I responded with "In other words he's hungry".  She said oh and asked Superstar if that was true and he said yes. She then said Sorry buddy, I don't got anything....

I just want to crawl into a hole with that one liner! My gosh why would you say lack of food! I played it cool, I think, but my gosh, lack of food! Honestly, I feed them, we don't suffer from lack of food.

Over dinner, when daddy was home, we discussed what Superstar said. It was brought up by you won't believe what he told the nurse. (Not in a negative way of course) We all had a laugh about it. Then I explained how if someone hears "lack of food" they may take it to mean that there is no food to eat or that you may not get breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks etc. That you really don't have any food.

Superstar then said, I didn't mean that. We have food, I was just telling the nurse that sometimes my tummy is upset when my hungry. I said I know and that's normal for your tummy to be upset when it's hungry, she was asking if it gets upset because it may be sick or for other reasons. Superstar just said "OH!!"

~~lack of food~~why, why, why.

The other thing he did that was funny, that had the POS medical assistant laughing was Superstar and Web-princess were standing at the examine table playing with one of the toys. It was some magnet thing. They were playing nicely together I might add. Their backs were to the POS and to his assistant. The POS said to Superstar let me have a look at your feet again. You would think that Superstar would stop playing at that moment and would sit on the table so the POS could have a look.

No that's not what he did. He just lifted his leg so that his foot was behind him, as if to say okay here's the foot, and just went on playing with the sister. I just rolled my eyes, and the POS assistant just laughed. The POS said, "Well you get what you ask for", then he proceeded to tell Superstar that he needed him to stop playing for the moment and to sit up on the table.

Kids Say The Darnest Things!

"Daddy, be a MAN!!! You can do it"

That little gem above came out of web-princesses mouth this passed week while playing a friendly family game of soccer in our backyard. Web-prinecss and DH were a team, and Superstar and I were a team.

The kids were acting as the goalies and DH and I were running, grasping for air, trying to keep the ball a way from each other. Web-princess got a little excited and started to shout words of encouragement to her teammate! As soon as she started to shout at DH to be a "man" I started to laugh! It was so funny, just the way she said it!

But I didn't totally lose it until Superstar started to yell at me:

"Come on Mom! You can do it! Be stronger then a MAN, be a WOMAN!"

As soon as my darling son, Superstar, started shouting that at me I collapsed to the ground with laughter! Both of my kids just had me in stitches! Kids to do say....

Speaking of in stitches, the following may be a little to much info, but it was just to funny not to share. So Saturday Morning we meet up with my FIL (father-in-law) for breakfast. The restaurant we met him at is a part of a shopping center, grocery store, hair salons, hardware stores etc.

In the course of our meal at the restaurant I realize I'm in need of some feminine products, so as we were walking out of the restaurant I tell my DH I'm going to go to the the grocery store right there to get the feminine products (pads) that I need. I walk into the store; a store I do not shop at, so I'm not familiar with the layout. I walk in with a mission to get out as soon as possible.

I find a row of items that I believed to be feminine products. To be honest, I didn't really look at the packages. I was just trying to get in and out, seeing my family was waiting in the parking lot, we had plans to go mini-putting so I didn't want to keep them waiting.

I grabbed a small bag of the generic store brand. I just wanted in and out. I didn't really pay attention to what I had, after all I'm 30 and surely I know what a box/bag of pads are! So I grab them, bought them, got in the car, and we proceed to drive to the mini-golf place. During the drive I open the bag. I was going to pull one out to put it in my purse so I can take care of things as soon as we got to the mini-golf place.

DH, said to me, didn't you do that in the store? And I explained no because you can't take merchandise into the bathrooms etc. I told him it's okay as soon as we got the mini-put place I will go to the bathroom and take care of things.

So I still haven't looked at the package, I open it...and say "That's odd! They're not individually wrap?". I then also realized they are much larger then what I'm use too, but it's some generic store brand. It still hasn't registered with me that perhaps I have the wrong type product.

DH take the package out of my lap to read the label! He then exclaims, "Nikki, these are depends for MEN! Didn't you read the label?" I just started to laugh so hard that I couldn't breath or talk! So the only thing I could do was shake my head no in response to my DH's question.

The kids were wanting to know what was going on and DH told them, "Mommy didn't buy pads she bought men diapers."

After seriously debating if I would use these or not, (I have pads at home, I just needed something while out), I decided that I can't use them so I had to ask DH to stop at the drug store on the way to the mini-golf place.
