Conversations With Bryson

Conversations with Bryson.....

Me: "Bryson, would you like a bowl of tomato bisque soup?"

Bryson: "YES! YES! YES!"

Bryson hates tomatoes and he has no idea this has tomatoes in it, so let's keep this between us, okay?

Conversations With Bryson...

Conversations with Bryson:

Bryson comes into the kitchen one morning before school....

Me: "Bryson, that doesn't match very well."
Bryson: "I don't care."
Me: "Well....it looks pretty stupid."
Bryson: "Matching is stupid."
Me: "Well alrighty then." 

So next time you see Bryson and he doesn't match (because he won't) please remember this conversation. I am choosing my battles here!!!!

Trunk or Treat 2012

This year's Halloween was kinda disappointing for me.  I had some funny ideas for my kids' costumes, but they are old enough to object.  Brayden and all his friends dressed up as M&M's, Blaine was a skeleton, and Bryson just wanted to wear Blaine's old Spiderman costume from when he was younger.  I have kept most of their costumes because Blaine and Bryson both liked to play dress-up in them.  It still looked brand new and I didn't have to spend hardly any money!  That was the best part :)

 This was the only photo I have of Blaine and someone else took it!  He refused to let me take one!

 A maskless Spiderman!
Below, Bryson and several of his friends got together and "traded" what they didn't want.  Bryson didn't get the hang of it very well and gave most of his away without getting in return.  Don't worry....I'm not complaining.  I throw most of it away every year anyway :)

The "big" kids

Happy Halloween!

Conversations....
Yesterday morning getting ready for school....

At the kitchen table and at the top of his lungs, Bryson: "Ohhhhhh yeaaaaahhhh!"

In the bathroom and at the top of his lungs, Blaine: "Ohhh yeeaaaaahhhh!"

In his room getting dressed and at the top of his lungs,

Brayden: "Oh yeah! Oh yeah! OHHH YEAAAHHHHH!"

(It's like some sort of animal call they do back and forth to each other. Proof they should be living in the wild.)

Me, shaking my head, choosing my battles and thinking to myself, "At least they are in different rooms, not fighting, and actually doing what they are supposed to be doing. And no one is bleeding."

Have a great weekend everyone!

Conversations with Blaine

Conversations with Blaine...

Blaine: "You know how they say that if you listen to classical music when you are a baby it will make you smarter?"

Me: "Are you asking me if I listened to rap when I was pregnant with you?" (snicker snicker)

Blaine: "Mom. Seriously. I listened to classical when I was going to sleep last night and I felt smarter in school today."

Me: "Really."

Baine: "Yes! We had to write poems and everyone was talking about how hard it was and I just jotted mine right down!"

Me: "That's awesome."

Blaine: "I know!"

Bryson's 1st Day of Kindergarten!

Bryson did great on his first day of Kindergarten! No tears, no hesitation! Went right in, put his lunchbox away then asked his teacher where he should put his book bag. Hugged and kissed me bye and I was outta there! I hope it is like this every day!

 Showing off his backpack and lunchbox

 This is the true Bryson right here.....sometimes there are no words.

Weird Eaters

There is never a dull moment at my house. During dinner, I looked over and saw that Brayden had eaten part of his tomato and had already started eating his beef stroganoff. Everybody that has ever eaten with him knows that he eats one thing at a time until it's gone. When I noticed this, I pointed it out to him. Everybody at the table stopped and looked at him. He tossed his fork down on the table like he was mad and said, "Great! Now I don't know which one to eat now!!!" I almost choked on my food.

Does anyone else have weird kids like this?
