Oh, the things they say

As we all know children don't always or just flat out don't have a filter for what they say.  My boys are no exception.  Although five years separate them, they can certainly come up with some interesting topics, statements, or just plain matter of fact points.  I'm going to try to log a few in from time to time.  Who knows maybe this will also help me stay a bit more consistent with the blog.  And like always this is truly more of a way for me to "jot down"  the wonderful crazy that each of my boys are:)  If you read it I hope you enjoy and hopefully have a giggle along with me.

Here is the most recent banter from the boys:

Jackson (3) "Wook Cows!!  I don't want to eat dem."  This was on our way to Soccer practice.  Random!

Daniel (8) This is addressed to me at the table during breakfast this week.
D ~"Mom, when you were born did you have slaves?" 
Me ~ "No baby.  Slavery did not exist any more by the time I was born."
D ~ "Oh.  When did it end."
Me ~ "After the Civil War."  (I know I may not be historically accurate, but for my purposes it worked)
D ~ "Oh.  "So you didn't have any slaves?"
Me ~ "No, baby."
D ~ "That's good."
I think he assumes that I was a part of that era.  Oh the perception of age.

Until next time:)

Smiple Joys

The sound of my boys Laughing with each other while they play.  Amazing!!! 

Just thought I'd share. 

Until next time:)
