What would you like for lunch today?

that is what I asked Noah and his answer was "Chicken salad on a bed of lettuce" (YES - he did say that!)

Me: Ok well, that sounds great!

Noah: I looooove chicken salad! I will maaaarry chicken salad! When I grow up I will get a bowl of chicken salad and stick my face in it!!!

Me: Why when you grow up?

Noah: Come on mom! You know well if i do that now you will get me in trouble!!!

I'm glad he knows that! =D

Spell checking with style!

Have you washed your China lately?

My husband was horrified by this conversation – I think its great he already knows the difference lol

Noah and I were talking about not going potty when you need to and how you may not pee in your pants blah blah blah and if you do pee on your pants you need to shower so you don't smell like pee and he says:  “When you were a kid and had an accident did you always washed your China?”

Me: My China?

Noah: Yeah – I can't remember the name – it rhymes with China... your peepee!
Me: Oh you mean VAGINA???

And by then I was laughing hysterically and he was so embarrassed and trying to make me stop laughing – I had tears were roling down my face! He says:

Oh that is right – vagina! China is the country!

The next day we have another conversation .... I just about ROTFL!!!!

N: Mom – I need more hand sanitizer (on his little key chain holder on his back pack) – I have being pushing the button – you know... a lot and every time I do it I have to use it.

Me: (Puzzled) Button? What button? (Thinking it was some sort of button to open the door – like the ones from wheel chair on the stores – but yet trying to think where in the school does he presses button?

N: Well, when dad has gas he pulls on his finger, for me it's a button here ( pointing to his hips) – when my “sides” hurts I press the button so I pass gas! Then I use the hand sanitizer!

Im probably the only that laughs at them but I can't help it!

Prayer time

While tucking Noah to bed and he asked to pray, I said go ahead; here is just a few sentences
I want to share:

"I hope we sleep well so tomorrow morning we are not like "Oh I'm so tired"... 

"I hope everyone voted today because its voting day and they got their stickers..."

"Please don't let anyone break in and take us as we sleep in the middle of the night!"
and the grand finally:

"I pray that everyone who died come back alive soon! -Tks"

What is Incompleteness?

I posted this on facebook and it was nice to get a couple e-mails/msgs from people telling me things that otherwise they wouldn't say!

I'm glad to hear from them - I'm working towards to do the same. Good or bad, you can be kind and deliver the msg!!! =) 

I learned about Incompleteness today. From the book:

Incompleteness is any undelivered emotional communication. 

Incompleteness is not limited to major events. It is an accumulation of undelivered communications, large or small, that have emotional value to you.Or in other words something you wish it was different, better or more.

Sometimes incompleteness is caused by our actions or nonactions. At times by circunstances outside our control.Sometimes is caused or exaggerated by others.

Sometimes we are afraid to say or we have been waiting for the right time that never comes. Sometimes that right time never comes, we forget, get sidetracked or a person die.

Being emotionally incomplete does not mean you are "bad" or defective, but that a variety of ciscuntansces, actions or nonactions have robbed you the opportunity to be complete.

I suffer from Incompleteness. Do you?

It is essential that we complete what is unfinished for us. And I encourage you that if heter is any incomplete emotions towards me you deliver it. Now is the perfect time! And i will do the same! 

Much love to you all my friends =o*

When he should be in bed....

he yells...


‎"Come on mama - put your hands up like this,
So I get my hands up - like showing my muscles and he goes
 no no! open your hands to the sky!!! ....

The cutest jack-o-lantern in the block!

Midlife crisis?

So I decide I want to sell my Minivan and get a Jeep. 

Dan said I'm having a Midlife crisis. really????
I always liked Jeeps and I don't care for all the comforts in cars (In Brasil we don't have any "extras" in cars - I never had air conditioner, power windows, etc...)

It's not like I'm getting a Corvette  and deff better then a pink sports car! =D

Paste for the teeth

While getting ready to brush his teeth:

People have lots of teeth - so why don't we call teethpaste? we don't brush one tooth! We don't use it in one tooth!!! I don't get it!!!

by Benjamin

Ben's happy place

Ben was told by his teacher to imagine a "dream room" and look outside the window and there he would find his happy place - this is his image, he told me it's Brasil, a day we had ice cream with my cousin before going to the park, and he was so detailed - the arched wall and the street just like the place! Amazing how he remembered!!! Well, no wonder - it's his "happy place"!

LOVE my new ring! =)

When it comes to music....

Ben: Mom, can you get me a red i pod? please? load me up with some music that I like to i can just listen to whenever I want to - ok? Like tomorrow!

I was thinking: REALLY???  just like that??

Now this was was priceless!!!

Noah was listening to a song, dancing and yells: "Come on mama, put your hands up in the air and raise the roof!!!"

ME?? LOL

Popular? Me?

Noah turned to me this morning and said something about me finishing with "because you are popular"

Until then I wasn't paying much attention the word got my attention not because of me having an "Amy Duncan" moment but because surprisingly Noah is having a hard time integrating in school so I asked him "what you mean popular? What does that mean?"

"You smile and laugh a lot, and that makes you popular" was his answer

But I still wanted to know "what does it mean you are popular? Does it mean something?"

And Noah answered again: "yeeees. It means you smile and laugh a lot! So because you smile you have lots of friends"

I wish you could hear their attitude!

"My underwear is small - its for 4 yrs old, I'm 5 yrs old - they are totally tight."  -Noah

"Mom, I love you so much - even fat just the way you are, don't need to be skinny ok? - Ben

I don't want to grow up

Benjamin said today:

"Mom, I LOVE being 6 - I don't want to grow up! I don't want to be an adult! I wish time would stop and we would stay like this forever!"

I'm thinking to myself  - I'm 30 - that sounds like a pretty good idea son! =D

"You can say that again"

Noah did something, not sure what and dad complements him:
"Nice choice Noah, very responsible of you"
And he answers: "you can say that again"
