Kids Say The Darndest Things

I was talking to Leo tonight about what I should make for his Halloween party for school on Friday and I showed him these Frankentreats and asked if he would like me to make them. And he was a little sad and said that he wanted me to make Power Ranger treats. I told him I wasn't sure how to make them and he told me to buy the bags with Power Rangers on them. When I said I didn't know where to find them he told me I could find them 672 miles away in a place called Texahoma. Apparently that is a border town between Texas and Oklahoma and only there do they make Power Ranger treat bags. Who knew?

Silly Saturday

It seems like every week is a funny week with a 4 year old and this week has been no different. 2 things happened this morning that just struck me as funny.

This morning I was woke up by Leo in my bed tracing his fingers across my forehead. You know you have too much acne when your son is playing dot to dot on my face. So any suggestions would be helpful!

And then I was headed off to work this morning and Leo was playing a Diego game that he had gotten from a relative a few years ago but now he is finally old enough to play. He was playing it and he said he needed help so I was looking at it with him. I couldn’t figure it out without sitting there for a little bit and I had to leave for work. Right as I was walking away he figured it out. And I told the hubby…it makes me feel super awesome when my 4 year old can figure out how to play the game and I can’t.

So I guess both funny things happened at my expense but I laughed about them both. What a crazy kid!

Leo's Laughs

On Monday night this is a conversation had in the Fernandez household:

Leo: Mom, I didn't tell you I peed in my pants a little bit.
Me: What? Did you tell anyone? Did you change your pants?
Leo: I told Ms. Sandi. And I didn't change my pants
{Now, this story is not about how I am going to talk to the teachers about why we only found out he peed his pants by the hubby feeling that his pants were damp when he picked him up...because I'm going to}
Me: What happened? Why did you pee your pants?
Leo: Well I was playing with my friend and then I felt something in my pants. And I was like what was that. And then I knew I peed my pants.
Me: Laughing hysterically

I did not think the situation was funny because still...he peed his pants and nothing was done about it but the look on his face when telling this story was hilarious. His face and the way he talks with his hands cracks my stuff up!

P.S.--2 days until Christmas! Laugh it up until the festivities begin!

Leo's Laughs

So here are a few of the things that my little hellion...aka Leo...has been saying lately.

Tonight after I let him play outside for almost an hour in freezing temperatures:
Me: You need to pick up your toys that you just threw inside/
Him: You're mean.
Me: I'm mean because I'm making you pick up your toys?
Him: {throwing his toys in the toy bucket} Damn.
Me: What did you just say?
Him: Damn.
Me: You need to go sit in the chair in time out
Him: I don't want to.

End of story. He went in timeout but I seriously doubt it matters. He has been pretty rambunctious lately hence me letting him play outside even though it was so cold. I was hoping that would curb his unruly behavior because I think he needs to be getting his excess energy out. Luckily that was the only outburst of the evening.

And then the really funny/cute thing he did at dinner:

Him: I want a chocolate cake roll (Swiss Cake Roll)
Me: You need to eat all of your green beans
Him: I will mommy. I'm going to eat so good.
Him: Can I have my chocolate cake roll?
Me: You need to finish your green beans.
Him: Can I get down and have a piece of candy instead?

He was trying to bargain like a mad man. Alas he did not finish the green beans so he did not get any snacks. Poor little guy. I guess I am a mean mom after all! :)
