My Hero

S: I drew it because I want to be Iron Man when I grow up. 


Weatherman

D: You know what they should say on the weather every day mom? Zero percent chance of zombie apocolipse. Because that would really make me laugh if they said that.

At least he's not still sleeping in a box...

We went to the beach on Saturday. I don't know what possessed me to take the boys by myself. They were assholes but we had fun. I brought the wagon because I was by myself and I didn't want to make 6 trips back to the car for all our stuff.

At one point Sam decided he needed a rest so he curled up in his towel on the wagon and told me that he was going to have a nap. He had a little rest and he was off to the races again.

On Sunday we were hanging out at home. I was doing a few things around the house and the boys were playing with each other and the neighbourhood kids. I was going about my business and then I saw this. Sam had gone to this room and got his pillow and a blanket and had made himself confortable. He told me that this was his new bed.

When bedtime rolled around I realized that his favourite pillow was still outside so I went to get it and his blanket. When I brought them up to his room he was PISSED. He REALLY wanted to sleep in the wagon and he told me so quite strongly.  

My kid really is going to be a hobo.

Brotherly Love

Sam: Daniel and me aren't brothers any more so now we're brothers.
Me: Who?
Sam: Me and this Hot Wheels car.
(pause)
Sam: I'm going into my room with my new brother.

Planning Ahead

He was about to get ready for bed when he starting loading his shirt pocket with grapes.

Me: Why are you putting grapes in your pocket?
Sam: In case I get hungry. 
Me: When??!?!
Sam: Now.

Superman?

Sam crawled into bed with us yesterday morning and draped his arm over Danny.

Sam: I put my arm over him so he can't fly away.

Going Postal

Sam had an EPIC meltdown last night. He fell asleep on the way home from camp and slept for 1 1/2 hrs when we got home. When he woke up he lost it. Talking to him made it worse.

I eventually took him up to his room and told him that he could come down when he calmed down. Thus began the screaming "I can't calm down!"

My favorite?

"I can't calm down because my mind is controlling me and telling me what to do!"

Beautiful

Danny: Is this your toothbrush?
Me: Yeah.
Danny: Don't use it. Sam has been cleaning his toys with it.

He finally decides to clean something and this is what happens???!?!??

Hot Lava

Daniel: Look at my dinosaur. It's red. I named it Death-o-saurus. If you stabbed it in the eye, your knife would melt. It's eyes have been known to be made of hot lava. It's feet have been know to be made of hot lava too. That's the legend. I just made it up.
There was more but I couldn't keep up. Apparently Deathosaurus almost destroyed all of PEI, but not the part where his friend Hunter lives.

Can you tell its dinosaur week at camp?

p.s. - I have no idea which side of this picture is up.

Hobo Joe 2

Danny: Hey there Hobo Joe.
Sam: My name isn't Hobo Joe.
Danny: Are you sure? I thought your name was Hobo Joe.
Sam: My name isn't Hobo Joe.
Danny: Well what is it then?
Sam: Kevin.

Hobo joe

We got a new bbq because the old one was becoming a safety hazard. The bbq came in a big box. The box now lives in our spare room and Sam sleeps in it at night. He asked me to lay down with him yesterday and when I crawled into the box I realized that he had gone into his room and brought an extra pillow and blanket into the box for me. I can't even tell you how ridiculous it is.

Birthday Party

Sam wants to invite this guy to his birthday party.
I think he might be disappointed.
Yes, that is Sir Wilfrid Laurier, who died in 1919. 
I'm not sure he'd be much fun at a party.

Wilfred Laurier was Canada's 7th Prime Minister and, though married, was long suspected of having fathered a child with his business partners wife before entering politics. Juicy! Maybe he would have been fun at a party after all.

Rock and Roll

S: Dad can we put on 'Hey kids do you wanna do what I do?'
Danny: That a morning song, not an evening song.
S: (Totally baffled) But it's a wock and wool song.
Danny: That a morning song, you guys get too riled up when i put it on. 
S: But it's a wock and wool song.

Sam knows all the lyrics. Its a really good thing my kids have no idea what they're singing about.

MARIANAS TRENCH
"Here's To The Zeroes"

Hey kids, do you wanna do what I do?
I got sick, got kicked out of high school.
I guess then, I kinda got arrested,
With a car and a chase and a drug test.

These days, they don’t wanna be near that.
'Cause if you're selling records they don't wanna hear that.
Clean cut, we do it like Disney.
Well adjusted, trusted, trust me.

Party anthems get them dancing.
Well I’m the king of second chancin’.
Airbrushed, shiny, notoriety.
They disappear into the back to go and get high-ity.

A boy after my own heart

D: Can you put on CBC please dad?

Seriously, Daniel has regularly requested CBC on the radio in the car for probably the last 2 years or so. My serious, silly little boy.
