William "Mom, when I grow up I want to be rich."
Me "That's nice, honey."
William: "Mom, what jobs make lots and lots of money?"
Me: "Hmmmm....doctors, lawyers, businessmen, actors, singers...."
William: "But what job makes the most money?"
Me: "Well, I guess you have to be the boss...maybe if you invent something that everyone needs or at least convince everyone that they think they need it..."
William: "I don't want to be a boss though. I want to have a boss."
Me: "Well I think a great job for you would be video game designer. You can make up your own video games, then."
William: "Yep, that's what I'm going to be! And when I have my own house I am going to have every game system that there is!"
Me: "That sounds nice, honey."

The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl
This seems to be the favorite movie of my boys' youth. Today while watching it for the 1000th time William said, "Mama I love this movie!"
and I said, "You like it, huh?"
and he replied, "NO, I don't like this movie, I LOVE this movie!".
Got it.

and he replied, "NO, I don't like this movie, I LOVE this movie!".
Got it.

One year later...almost
So I officially suck at preserving my boys...I am going to try to a very fast recap of the last year:
Ben taunted me by following me all over the house chanting "unfit mama". (Feb 1, 2010)
William: "Did you even listen to one word I said?" (January 27, 2010)
William hit his nose and after he calmed down he said "It's a good thing I didn't hit my penis because that's my weak spot". And then he was mad because I couldn't stop laughing (Dec 29, 2009)
Bought a racecar table for Christmas for the boys personalized with their names on it. When Ryan went to put it together on December 22 we found the names "Daniel" and "Thomas" on it. FAIL
William was told he was on the naughty list and he informed me that it was not possible because Santa doesn't know how to make a "W". (Dec 9, 2009)
Was getting William dressed and he didn't want to put a shirt on. He said "but I feel tougher when I don't have a shirt on". (Dec 5, 2009)
Our first Emergency Room visit - 5 stitches in Ben's head...he lost a fight with Grandma's dining room chair. (Nov 4, 2009)
Ben colored all over the living room wall - luckily it was his birthday (Oct 16, 2009)
Today in Karate William's instructor gave the boys toy chinese stars and then said "Don't take them out and play with it...you didn't see me take mine out and start playing with it, did you?" and I proved that I was immature. (Oct 12, 2009)
William asked for a Batman costume and a Butterfly cotume for Halloween. (Aug 28, 2009)
Said to William: "When you have your own house you can make the rules" (Jul 30, 2009)
Talking to William about him being born and how he got out of my belly and he said "It's a good thing I didn't find your butthole, huh?" (Jul 23, 2009)
William asked me "How come only girls have brains?" (Jun 21, 2009)
Found Ben painting the wall with his poop. (Apr 30, 2009)
OK...that's it for now...I promise to try to do better from now on!

Rock N Roll Astronauts
The boys have developed a band. Yep. They have a guitar. They have drums. They have a keyboard and they play all the instruments at one time.
Today William and Benjamin were putting on a concert for me. Will stopped suddenly and said, "I'm sorry mom but we have to go to another planet and play rock music for the aliens. We have to give them a show. When we come back I will do another rock music show for you, ok?"
I said, "Ok, but what if the aliens eat your brains?"
and Will said, "No Mom, these are nice aliens! We'll be back to this planet soon, ok?"
Me: "Ok"
And they were. And the rock concert continued. And I felt lucky instead of annoyed. For a few minutes anyway.

Overheard in the house today
"I don't care if you ARE batman, we do not throw furniture in the house!"
"Stop hitting your brother with the hammer!"'
"No you cannot sleep with the pirate ship"
"Stop hitting your brother with the hammer!"'
"No you cannot sleep with the pirate ship"

Do. Not. Laugh.
We all have those moments in parenting when you are trying to stress a serious matter with your children or disciplining them and you are unable to BE serious. Here was the following conversation:
Me: William do not hit your brother! You are in timeout.
William: Ok
Me: William I am really disappointed in you.
William: OK
(a few seconds later)
William: Why are you still looking at me, mom?
Me: *snort* *laughing*
And my parenting techniques went right out the window. I lost any ground I had there.
