The Dozens

So it's 8:30 PM and Kevin and I are listening to the kids play 'The Dozens". If you aren't quite sure what that is... they are basically trying to one up each other with name calling. Yeah, name calling. Here is some of what we heard:

TJ: hey Noah, you're a peanut head.
Noah: No, you're a chicken head.
TJ: dinosaur head
Noah: snowman head
TJ: sign head
Noah: boot head

They giggle and laugh in between each name. They are seriously cracking themselves up! It is just too funny.


Oh, TJ came up to me the other night after I took a cookie away from her (since she was throwing toys around the room while eating it) and said, "mom - don't you ever ever ever take my cookie away from me again. OK?" She said it with THE MOST serious look that I have ever seen. I was like, "um..." (Gather my thoughts here without laughing!!) Oh the things they say.

So Noah naps in a separate room from TJ. I put some glow in the dark planets that hang from the ceiling in there today. He started jumping up and down and said, "woohoo! This is my favorite room! How cool is this TJ?! I am so so so so happy! Thanks, mom!" :o)

Kevin and I are off to do some car shopping Monday to figure out/narrow down our choices. We want something big enough, not to big, and SAFE!!! At least our insurance company settled with a decent offer that we are happy with but I still have to find a new "used" car.
