Stuffed, Roasted Duck

Andrew - talking to his current fav stuffed animal, a duck: "Well, he just gets cold outside, b/c he stays outside for a long time...so he has to come inside and 'roast up' in a blanket."

Jim: "Did you say 'rest up' or 'roast up'?"

Andrew: "He just gets roasted up in a blanket b/c he's so cold!"


Poor little duck...good thing he's not real!!

Cow Dogs

Andrew: "What's a dalmatian?"

Me: "It's a white dog with black spots. They're like 'Smoky' dogs (a dog from the TV show 'Rescue Heroes')"

Andrew: "Oh, I thought they were just called 'cow-dogs' because they just have spots like cows do!"

Bugs: boys vs. girls

Peter picked up what was a VERY DEAD bug from the back porch.

Girl response:
It was all I could do to not yell, "Eww...Gross! Don't touch that!" (I said it in my head)

Boy response:
"Yook! Dat MY bug! He SMILIN' at me!"

Play-doh for dinner, anyone?

Grandma Wadle sent Andrew a 'play-doh burger maker' for his birthday. He had to wait a WHOLE WEEK to play with it (we waited for a rainy day!), but both he and Peter had a blast when they did. (Mom, however, wanted to chuck the play-doh into the garbage and claim it got lost so that we'd never have to play it again, but I digress...)



Andrew - quite proud of his play-doh burger



A close-up - doesn't it look delicious?



Peter made 'steak-fries' to go with it - I think that was his favorite part!

Wii Whack...

Peter & Andrew love to play Wii. They especially like to play "SpeedSlice" where they have to slice random things at certain angles with their swords - things like sushi, cupcakes, bamboo, clocks, diamonds, etc.

Andrew usually wins...Peter just likes to jump up and down and wave his controller wildly - but they both have fun.

Today, during the game, Peter turned around to look at me. "Hi Mom! I just whackin' stuff!"
