The Pantless Wonder

A few days ago Max told me “You are the best and ever”. That was the second time he said that. Silly kid.

Well, so much for getting back on track with posting

Since my last post nearly 2 months ago, Max has been to Louisiana and been visited by Grandmom. Last week (or last day, as Max says) Max told me, “I’m going to get on a big airplane and go past New Jersey, past Louisiana and fly to Turkey to see Mrs. Emily because she has a Buzz Lightyear toy.

I finally got my replacement phone today so now I can start posting pics of the runts again. Runt #1 has been giving me the cold shoulder lately, probably because I’ve been working a lot of nights and haven’t seen too much of him. If he doesn’t want to look at me, talk to me or otherwise have anything to do with me now, how’s it going to be when I leave for 4 months?

I just told him to put his underwear on. After telling me he’s having trouble I told him to show me what he was doing…of course he’s playing around. So then he sits on the floor and ‘reads’ the tag, and it says:

“Max, put this in the back, please.”

Daniel and the lion king. Heh.

I started giving Max a memory verse this week, Sunday was the first one. Monday I asked him what it was and he said “I know about the children, and I know about the Ephesians….” I guess that was a pretty good start for Ephesians 6:1.

Where does the Lord live? He lives in Cabot! So says Max.

What is the heck of that???

I said ‘you’re a son of a gun’ and Max said ‘Jack, you’re a son of a gun’. Silly kid.

We were getting them into their carseats after my Wednesday morning Bible study and Max said ‘I so love Jack, even when he spits up!’ as he was doing just then.

Recently he’s told us a few times ‘you’re ice-cream’ and then he licks us!!! What a surprise it was that first time!

I’ve realized recently that some of the time (or the whole time?) he’s been singing ‘I’ve been working on the railroad’ that he actually says Red Road. Heh.

“I need to eat lunch with all my girlfriends. My girlfriends are Grandmom and Aunt Joelle and Gran and Grandmom too…and Mama. Those are my girlfriends.”

“That’s your little cubby!” When he put a single ‘Nerds’ candy in a little bowl to wait for Daddy to come home and share today.

“I’m feeling watchy.” I guess he got that from ‘hungry’…it means he feels like watching TV. Heh. It hasn’t worked for him so far but he keeps trying it out.

The other day when we were driving to pick Ted up out of the blue he said “I want to go have lunch with my girlfriends.” When I asked him who were his girlfriends he said Gran, Popo (he’s been calling Pawpaw Popo [with a long 'o'] since Christmas) and Grandmom. Well, not Popo, he’s not a girl. Sweet.

Right on the heels of Max’s latest blessing, Ted blew his nose rather loudly and Max said, “Holy shoot!” (honestly don’t know where he got that one.) We tried to give him several alternatives like “Holy cow” which he seemed reluctant to use. Ted asked, “Why are you being so fussy?”

Max’s reply: “I’m not being fussy, I’m just doing monkeyshines.”
