This week, we have pretty much been stuck inside because little man has had pneumonia. My mom came Tuesday to help rescue me, so I was able to get out of the house for church Wednesday night and WalMart yesterday. Honestly though, the week inside hasn't been that bad. I've really enjoyed spending some good snuggle time with my sick little boy and getting a few things done around the house. I had to post a few funny things that my kids have done this week to keep me laughing. Bear with me - since I no longer have the will to scrapbook, this blogging thing is my scrapbook of sorts. One day I am going to print all my posts and make a book with it.
When I picked L up from school Monday, I told her K was sick with pneumonia. The obvious question then: "Mom, what is pneumonia?" I told her it was when you have "stuff" down in your lungs. The next obvious question: "What kind of stuff?" "Mucous", I replied (couldn't think of a better word). And, you guessed it, another question: "Momma, what is mucous?" So I told her. The next morning, my sweet friend Tania came to pick L up for school. She called me right after dropping L and her little girl off at school to tell me what L had said. Oh no. She said she asked how K was doing and L said, "He has pneumonia." Then she leaned over to Tania's daughter, like she was going to tell her a secret and said, "Hey, do you know what mucous is?" I'm sure my adorable little girl has told everyone she knows what "mucous" is.
K's favorite saying comes from Charlie Brown, and it's "Hey, what's going on here?" Surprisingly, he knows exactly when this saying is appropriate. The other night I was bathing the kids and the bathtub drain popped up just a little, which makes this horrible moaning noise. K turned around quickly in the tub and said, "HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?" He has also learned a new saying. His new favorite movie is "Madagascar 2". Let me warn you before you buy the movie, there are a few questionable things about it, though it is not the worst kids' movie I have ever seen. Since his favorite movie was "Barbie and the Diamond Castle" (thanks to his sister), we are pretty happy that "Madagascar 2" has taken reign as his favorite now. Anyway, in the movie one of the animals says, "What the heck is going on?" You know where this is going, right? Out of all the lines in the movie, that's the one my son picked up on. While my mom was here helping me this week, Hubby, L and I went to church Wednesday night. K and Nana were sitting at the table eating supper when we left. We walked out the door, he turned around and looked at the door and then said, "What the heck is going on here?" Oh, the things they pick up... I'm not even sure how to end this post (I'm sure I'm supposed to end it by trying to rationalize or justify why we have let him watch this movie over and over again, but I won't). I'll just say that he definitely won't be watching the first Madagascar movie anytime soon. Somehow I don't think I want him going to school, church, the grocery store, and anywhere else where other people are, saying, "Darn you all! Darn you all to heck!" (Yes, they really say that in the first Madagascar)...
