heard at my house

Yesterday Michael came breezing in the room and said:
"Mom you wanna see the special features of the steering mechanism of this car I'm making?"
(Say what?!)
A lengthy explanation of his Lego creation's said features ensued.

Today he asked me if I knew lawn mowers only had one cylinder.
(Can't say I've ever given it a moment's thought.)

Adrienne asked if I could get a girl baby in my tummy because her brothers are driving her nuts.
(Sorry kiddo - no thanks. Y'all drive me nuts too.)

Zachary dumped cereal all over the kitchen floor 3 times in 2 days.
(Sigh)

Daddy and Nicky are in the kitchen at present, making jello cookies. Nicky cracked an egg all over the counter & floor before I came downstairs. I'm going to hide down here for a while.

For full disclosure, Nicky actually did a pretty good job breaking the egg and got most of it in the bowl, but it did sort of explode as he pulled it open...he helped pour the other ingredients into the mixing bowl, as well, and probably got more than 50% of the flour into the right place.

Oh, ya know...they're cute when they're not gettin' in trouble. Lock your pantry and cupboards and you'll be okay.
