So, the other day Geo was showing the kids various Muppets clips on youtube and he found one that has Muppets "performing" "Clocks" by Coldplay. It starts off with Ralph the Dog playing the piano and then appearing to sing the song. Shaw was sitting on the couch watching and casually said, "Pretty good singing for a dog."

Last night I got to hear Aislinn say something fantastic and hilarious to Shaw. She can get a REAL attitude on her. She even puts her hands on her hips while she bitches, too, which made my hearing this even more amusing b/c I could picture her standing there with her hands on her hips, just laying into her poor little brother ( Read more... )

That's what Michael Scott of NBC's "The Office" says he said, anyway. (There must be a "That's what he said" somewhere in there ( Read more... )

Scene: In the family vehicle on the way to school in your typical midwestern town. Aislinn will be playing the bright, book-loving kindergartener. Tristan will be playing the know-it-all, smart-ass, second-grader who happens to be Aislinn's older brother. Shaw will be playing the preschooler caught in the middle ( Read more... )

Aislinn to me, "I told Carolyn that you wear Tinker Bell underwear."

Thanks, Aislinn, thanks. Lucky for me, Carolyn is a child. Still, Carolyn's mom was probably in tow.

Well, it wasn't actually spoken, but it sure was funny as hell.

Tristan was playing with this Animal Explorer game he has that tells facts about animals. "Manta-rays can lift themselves entirely out of water," and "Sharks were alive when dinosaurs walked the earth."

I thought, "Too bad we can't talk to sharks and ask them what dinosaurs were ( Read more... )

Where do they get this stuff ( Read more... )

Tristan upon winning his third soccer game in a row: "If we keep winning, this might start to get boring."

In other news: Aislinn is sick with a fever of 101.8°. Poor baby girl.

And Shaw took his diaper off (he wears a diaper to bed because they're cheaper than Pull-Ups) and peed on Tristan's head.... on purpose.

Nice.

Shaw was sitting on the toilet and said,

"I'm a little bit racist."

Brent asked, "You are?"

Shaw replied, "No! The girl in the car is!" (Referring the the cd of Avenue Q which had been playing in the car.)

Too beautiful!

Shaw is three.
