Throw Back Thursday - A Year Ago This Week

Today was the last day of school, and well, I am tired. So today we are revisiting a post I wrote this week last year.


---------------------

Overheard (June 16, 2011)

"Mommy. Jason needs to go sit on the naughty chair." - Shawn when he thinks Jason is getting away with something he shouldn't.

This one is still being used today only now they both say it. They can be so "helpful" at times.

---

Mommy: "Jason look! A police car!"

Jason: Gasps while looking in the direction I pointed. "Cool!"

Jason about 20 seconds later: "But I missed it."

Said on the way to Target this weekend.


We still do Target a lot, and we still have similar conversations. The difference now is that I am the one who doesn't see whatever we're talking about. :-)

---

"Daddy! I had a BIG dream...of a thunderstorm and a garbage truck." - Jason this morning right after he woke up.

Jason still has pretty vivid dreams. If you wake him from a deep sleep in the mornings, he's likely to tell you some of the wildest tales.

---

Jason: "Go to sleep, Shawnie."
Shawn: "No!"
Jason: "Go to SLEEP."
Shawn: "No. I don't want TOOOOO!"

Scene played out just about every morning because Shawn is up for the day but Jason still wants to sleep.

Yep. This is the same!

---

Shawn: "Can I stick my hand in the water?"
Mommy: "No! Shawn, quit playing with the cat's water dish!"

Thankfully, this conversation has died. (For the time being at least. I am sure it will start up again once Jack finds the water dish.)

---

"Can I watch Light-ning Ma-the-clean?" - said by Shawn approximately 473 times a day, every day, 7 days a week.

Now the requests are for Bubble Guppies and/or Team Umi Zoomi. We haven't seen poor Lightning for a while now.

---

Lots of laughter..."I made stinky ducks!" followed by lots more laughter. - said by both boys to tell me they just passed gas--because we must announce these things for all to enjoy, you know.

Sigh.

OMG. This is exactly the same!!! Who would have thought that gas would be that funny?

---

"I wanna 'nuggle." - said by Shawn every night before bed. :-)

This is the same, too. :-)

---

"Can we go to Target and get some cars?" - said by Jason. I created a monster!

He still wants to go to Target...he's not after the cars, though. Yea! Progress!

---

"Ahhhhh-ohhhhh" - said by Jack after he eats.

Yep. Still the same, only now he likes to add in some screams for good measure (just in case I didn't hear him the first time).
