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!!!

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"
:PPPP

N: Well then check it cause I wanna go there!

"Where will our leaf blow??..."

Noah has being learning about Fall in preschool, all about the leafs falling and the wind...


Often his teacher hangs the kids work outside the door for parents to see. Today when I get to school there was a new work and I couldn't help but shade a few tears.


The teacher's page said "Where will our leaf blow..."  and each child colored theirs with fall colors, and the teacher wrote theirs answers; some said "to Kings Island", some said "to the Park"....

Noah's said: "to my Grandpa's house to see him"


He also wrote "Elan" to his best knowledge, if you notice it, there is a L, a E sideways, a N and a A

We all being thinking of you grandpa - each day... all day... Praying and we hope we get to see you soon!!!

One from Benjamin

Noah is usually the one that let i go some funny ones, but this one from Ben was just waaaay too funny to pass it by!

~ Deep breath from Benjamin ~ and he spills: “I wish we could by a new car, and that it didn't have a radio”


Honestly? I was quite surprise – for real! So I asked – “Why baby?”


Ben's answer: “So I didn't have to listen to you sing”


*oooook – insert here a weird embarrassed face of mine with large wide open eyes*


How sad! I love to sing! I love to listen to music and I guess that annoys my big boy! =oP Bummer! I'm gonna have to get him so ear muffs =oP
