Random stuff

As you probably realize, the kids do stuff all the time that is totally random, cute, funny, head-scratching, etc. I keep saying I need to write it down, since I tend to forget much of it so quickly. Here are a few of the more memorable random moments.

-Miles has been having us read him the story Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel quite a bit the last few weeks. The other day he said that he would like to go to Popperville one day. I asked him what he would want to do if he got to go there. He replied that he would eat, because he would be hungry once he got there. Never once mentioned anything about seeing the town hall or steam shovel.

-We have a whole bucketfull of Hot Wheels cars, and in that bucket is one Hot Wheels motorcycle. Quincy was playing with the motorcycle yesterday, zooming it across the kitchen floor, then into the dining room. In the dining room he stopped zooming, stood over the motorcycle and proceeded to crouch down as if he were going to ride the Hot wheels motorcycle. He seemed to quickly realize that there was no way he was small enough to ride it, and went on his way.

-Due to Miles waking up at all hours of the very early morning, he has been told that he can't get up until 6am. Sunday evening Miles went to bed at his normal time. About 8:20pm he came downstairs. Normally he is very good about staying in bed in the evening, so I was surprised to see him at the bottom of the stairs. I was even more surprised when he told me that he slept past 6 and 7 so he could get up. He must have had an amazingly restful 20 minutes of sleep, since he thought it was 8:20 in the morning. The poor guy was devastated when he found out it was still nighttime and he had to go back to bed. He was a big 'ol mess of tears.

And a couple of random pictures of the kids waiting for breakfast one morning:
