Never afraid to ask a question!! Or embarrass her mother!!

Saturday we decide to have some company come over, another army couple with their two boys. The husband Crawford is in the same company as Gary is and his wife and I get along great!

I walk in the living room where Crawford is playing with his son Caleb on the floor with Gavin’s old Thomas trains just in time to hear Ally ask Crawford if he has a winky ? Yes I am not kidding she really asked him that and waited for the answer! Crawford replies “I will let your mommy answer that one” So there I am speechless about this and I have to explain what girls and boys have and that we don’t ask them what they have. Good thing Crawford was quiet amused by this, I don’t think anything can prepare you are the stuff your kids will say or do or ASK in front of company! Just thought I would share this funny with you and will be one to read her later in life~

They always make life more interesting and funny!!!

So with everything going on in our lives right now I haven’t spent as much time with them as I want to. So the other day I said lets take a walk.

It was 7 a little late so I told them it would be a short walk, yeah right never is. We took Gavin’s way which is always the train tracks that take you down to the old mill. We got to talk about whatever and I asked them what they liked about going to GA and what they didn’t like about going.

Ally’s response to what she liked about going to GA was Georgia Georgia that’s all she said.

Gavin said he liked to live on an Army base with all the army stuff. His response for what he didn’t like was that he would miss everyone here.

Now when I asked Ally what she didn’t like about going to GA she looked at me with a serious face and said “I don’t like Predators,” she spends a lot of time with her brother.

While walking down the tracks Gavin said “I miss the old days.” Now I was thinking he was talking about when he was younger or when the weather was better and we took walks all the time, but no that’s not what he meant. I asked him what old days. He said “1918, when they made steam locomotives,” I think Gary said it well when I told him about it, its like Gavin has been around for a very long time!

Gavin is so cool!!!

First off I want to inform everyone that I am in the process of redoing the kids blog but its more of a challenge than anticipated so forgive me for its lack of creativity!!

Now for Gavin, I think his last big interest/obsession we were on tornados. Well now its the game AREA 51! He watching his friends dad play it and there are story parts in there he likes. Well leave it to Gavin and his YouTube obsession to come home and find tons of videos of the story parts and watch them so much his little sister knows their names, like Crispy. So he is in there watching fighting game play videos as he plays along with toys that look like them, or he watches and then comes plays out what he watches kind of. Some may say this is bad but to me I like waiting for his next big thing, he never forgets his other they are still very much a part he is only adding to his collection of odd interests.

I am gonna let you enjoy the video he just loved and watched before having to take a bath!! He was just into it!!

    

My kids say the funniest things!!!

Ok, I think kids say some of the funniest things, as well as some rude stuff because they have no tact.  I have been meaning to write about the kids for awhile now and here recently they have both said some amusing things and I want to share and remember. 

So Gavin, he for the past few months has been really into Veggie Tales. For those of you that don’t know what that is its a show about the talking vegetables and they teach about the Lord and stories from the bible. Its got humor in it and for kids. So the night in the tub I hear Gavin singing a song. “ A msg to the Lord”, that is what he is singing over and over in the bathroom.  Then later he tales me that God loves me and we are all special.  I walked out thinking omg, my son is brain washed by Veggie Tales and he now knows more about God and the bible then me.

 

Now the other day, again in the tub I was helping him was his hair and I had just rinsed it and he looks at me and said with a straight face, “ Mommy please don’t take a sleeping pill.” I of course thought this was funny and started laughing and asked him where he heard that. He said he didn’t know.  Didn’t take me long to realize it came from the movie Small Soldiers, in that movie we watched couple night earlier the bad soldier toys put sleeping pills in the parents drinks to make them sleep and I was telling Gavin that’s what it was. So I am assuming it was from that. I swear though it was so funny. 

Now my little Ally. Well she is a hoot and so fun to talk to when she doesn’t have that attitude. I love asking her about her day at Myrna’s she will tell me all what happened too. Tells me all what those bad boys do and how Myrna handles it and she tells it like it is and talks like big girl I love it! 

So the other night I was watching the boys and I had to use the restroom to pee, and Ally came in said she had to as well, I told her to shut the door the boys didn’t need to see my whoohaa ( that is what we call our girl part). She looked at me with that cross face and said “you don’t have a whoohaaa, only girls do” I said yes I do Ally. She again told me I didn’t that she did and I was a mommy, I don’t have one. I asked her what I had then, and she told me that I had a butty! I said Ally I have a whoohaa and a butty like her and she just couldn’t accept that and her her I only had a butty and she has a whoohaa. It was one of those conversations that I smiled but didn’t laugh until it was over. I loved it though. 

So yeah my kids are so funny!!!!!  They really make me laugh and smile everyday! 

They are so interesting children, never a dull moment

If you know anything about Gavin, or spend a day with him you will understand why I say he was born before his time. Things he wanted and did get for Christmas, a Terminator action figure, and a predator action figure and he liked that movie before the new one came out. He is a fan of Ghostbusters as well and wants those action figures but they are hard to get and if you do find them they are very pricy. He watched Gumby “1957”, the older Godzilla movies “1957” ,Tremors “1990”, and tons of old sci-fi films no matter if they are in black and white either.

His new discovery is Robocop, yeah that was made in 1987. He has watched 1 and 3 so far (not sure why he skipped 2). When he wants a toy 95% of the time it is not sold in stores anymore you have to look on Amazon or EBay. I am not complaining about him I think its amazing and he is very interesting. He likes the old train documentaries that have such old footage it has the lines in it and they use that guy with the mono tone voice that puts me to sleep. He will watch it and repeat parts the whole time. He also loves shows like Untamed and uncut, Mythbusters, Modern Marvels, and the History channel. I think he is the coolest to watch t.v with and love that he is not like all other kids watching SpongeBob and crap all the time.

Gavin is one very awesome boy and has so many areas of interest and skills who knows what he will grow up to do.

Gavin’s funny statement for the month: He says “ mommy?, do you think that what happen to the dinosaurs was a judgment day?” that came out of nowhere one night when I was tucking him in for bed.

      

Miss Ally!! 3 going on 30.

So I want to catch you up on Miss Ally seeing as it’s been awhile since I have blogged about either of them.

Just incase you didn’t know why Ally is called miss Ally and why she calls herself that as well and always says Miss Ally when asked her name. Her sitter’s husband that she calls papa Lyle has always called all the girls that Myrna watches Miss ___ and Ally is the only one who has taken it in and now refers to herself that way.

On the playful side Ally is so funny, she is very dramatic and very serious too. Right now we are in a Beauty and the Beast phase and she loves Bell. When watching the movie she will put on a dress up outfit and be Bell and act out scenes and I will be numerous characters like, “father”, or “beast” or my personal favorite “king man”. She is actually a very good little actress and she will sing as well and that we know she does well. She never stops impressing me with how talented she is already at age 3!!

I love how she sets up her toys as well, she is so careful and serious and she always adds herself in whatever she is playing. Its funny to listen to her when she plays because the dialog she uses is so real life. I could listen to her and watch her play forever if only i didn’t have to be “king man” all the time..lol. 

That is Miss Ally, one very dramatic, serious, big attitude, beautiful 3 year old I have.

 

Being creative for them.

Tonight the kids just seemed itching for something fun or entertaining. I got that because they were running around the living room with a jump rope and an empty bucket in circles.

I got this idea to make them a fort so I went to the storage and got the sides of Ally’s old crib and set them up in the kitchen around the table. I then got some Christmas lights that blink different ways and put them on top and threw blankets over the top to cover it all.

Well they turned the lights off and climbed right in and they love it. They have been going in and out and playing different games too.  They have also been in there just laughing like crazy and I don’t even know at what.

When they first got in, Peter went in too and they didn’t want him in there so I had to keep calling him out but he would go right back in, I thought it was funny.

I just love it when they play so good together! Makes me feel good that they are close and able to play together.  I hope this is one of those times they remember when they get older!
