Christmas 2014

Asmund, "Daddy?"
Dennis "Yes?"
A, "I love you. 
Mommy?" 
M, "Yes?"
A, "I'm thirsty."

[

"Christmas time is here, Christmas time is here. Open all the presents, open all the presents, open all the presents....hum hum hum"



[

Wystan, to the tune of Jingle Bells, "Doctor Who, Doctor Who, humans in space ships/ not a human, he a alien and he have two hearts!"

Asmund used the word "discombobulated" correctly yesterday. Dennis, I think this means we're winning at parenting.

A: "Mom says a hippo will eat me up for lunch, but I say a hippo is a fairy terrian."

Asmund, studying the solar system: "This is Earth, and you go around the sun to Pluto where our alien friends live."

Wystan: "Is Jupiter the largest planet in the whole world?"

W: "See that spaceship in the black hole? That is me when I was a good alien."

Asmund: "If you get too close to the sun, it might melt your spaceship."

Asmund: "Scientists don't think Pluto is real, but it is!"

Asmund: "I was thinking of something but now I can't think it out."

"You're living on the dreams, baby! I learned that from a song. Too funny, it will break your heart off."

Asmund: "Brain is a scientist mouse, so Pinky and the Brain can show us things we don't know about science."

A: "Was I good all day? Me: "Yes." A: "So Santa's going to come tonight?"

Wystan, "I am your boss, Dad, because I am your student."

Asmund, about the Ichabod mascot: It looks like a monster wearing glasses.

Asmund: Canadian geese are flamingos' uncles.

A: "But I don't even know how to wash dishes." Said upon opening a present inside a box originally for dishes.

Merry Christmas! Our morning highlights: Asmund eating his candy cane while brushing his teeth with his new electric toothbrush, Wystan stripping to change into his new mama made pjs, Grandpa magically knowing exactly what they wanted from the toy store two days ago, and best of all, Asmund struggling to understand why Santa would bring him dishes, "but I don't even know how to wash dishes" before discovering the transformers inside.

Hoildays

Asmund, about watching PBS: "Do you know what we want to watch next?"
"What?"
"Well, whatever is next!"

"Mom, can we have hot cocoa when we get home? And know why we call it hot cocoa? French people. I am not kidding!"

Dragons

Wystan: My dragon is a night fury. He's always waking me up.


Me to Asmund, as he is putting a sticker on each unused envelope: "Why don't you put two stickers on each one?"
A: "Because that's a waste of stickers!"

Aliens

Asmund: "Mom, there are just too many aliens. Wystan, I'm going to the bathroom, tell me if any aliens get here."

[

Me, "We'll start decorating for Christmas soon."
Asmund, "At Christmas Aunt Joy is staying with us, for, um, two years?"
(Joy, you're the first thing they think of when they think of Christmas.)

Math

Me, looking at Asmund's addition sheet, "Hey! You figured that out!" A, "No, Mom. I THINK-ED that out."

Found: Preying Mantis

W: About the preying mantis he found: "His name is Rooftop because he hangs from the ceiling. He is my friend."

Wystan walked in with the latest tenet of the bug home crawling up his arm. "Hey Mom, know what my preying mantis eats for breakfast? Baby preying mantis-ses." "Hum, are you sure?" "Yes. Him is a bad mom."
