catch up on things

Asmund:

"One spooky night zombies eat brains, but the robots came and knocked them down."

Carrie reports: Asmund told me a secret, he has spider friends who will eat the bugs in our house. He made bug traps to help.

"I have a job!"
"What is it, Asmund?"
"I is a writer and reader of books."

"Bears and rabbits are both dummie heads, but dolphins are cute."

More from Carrie:

Last week Wystan had a nightmare that his ice cream dropped. Last night Asmund had a nightmare that people were killing dolphins. My children's tender hearts melt mine.

Asmund loves the "funny lady movie", and mimics her, in a high pitch voice, saying "a nice cup of tea!!!" (Keeping Up Appearances)

Raedan's first food? Peanut butter!! I think we have Wystan to thank for that mini heart attack but Raedan was absolutely livid when we removed him from his fun. Kid wants to eat!

Wystan: "Mom, look! Me 'piderman!"
Me: "Oh, sweetie, please don't be Spiderman on the fridge door!!"

Outside the new Marco's Pizza, Asmund says

Mom, I see something--it's a restaurant up in the sky! They sell pizza, it is for aliens! The aliens have two eyes.

Asmundisms

Asmund's shopping list: grapes, chocolate ice cream, cold yogurts, hot dogs, and coffee.

Asmund: "Wystan, you don't be scared of spiders or robots or ghosts. I will fight them all."

Sweet moment

Wystan came downstairs with a Batman action figure, and Asmund said it was his, that I was saving it for his birthday. Carrie then asked Wystan what he wanted for his birthday, and he said," A Spider-Man cake." Asmund said, "Yes! We are sharing. Wystan, want me to share my Batman car and it be for your birthday, too?" Wystan agreed, "Uh-huh."

More Asmund

Asmund wants Uncle Ron and I to build an RV, just like our neighbor has and is in the process of fixing up. Asmund will paint it blue, red, and white.
