quotes of the week
Quotes of the week:
1. Joseph- How was your sleep Mommy?
Me-Good, how was yours?
Joseph-Good! What did you dream about?
Me-I can’t remember, what did you dream about?
Joseph-I dreamed about you!
Me-Was it a good dream?
Joseph-Yes!
Me-Good! Derek what did you dream about?
Derek- Ummm.. .The Book of Mormon! (I would have loved to have been inside of that dream!)
2. Derek was throwing a tantrum at the end of a Home Depot trip. I picked him up and just started walking to the car. Derek’s response in his meanest bossiest voice was- “"I'm going to tell JoJo mom!" "I'm going to tell JoJo that you held me like a baby!" Nice try Derek, but that doesn’t scare me for some reason!
3. So we lock our door at night so the boys can’t sneak in, especially Derek who has made a habit of magically appearing in our bed in the middle of the night. One night he tried to come in and when the door was locked he started pounding on it. When we told him he couldn’t come in, he says “Daddy, you need to SHARE your bed!”
4. Another Derek one, he is just too funny! So this morning I grabbed his feet and started saying “This little piggy went to market…” He says very seriously, “Mom, STOP they are TOES! They are called toes mommy!”
5. My boys have become the WORST back seat drivers! I taught them about traffic signals and signs and now whenever we go places they are always yelling things like, “ Mom GO it green! or SLOW DOWN it’s yellow and that means it’s going to turn red!” Well, yesterday Derek was being especially hard on me. “Mom stop or you will CRASH, but then he follows up with Good job mom!” Thanks boys!

Wow, these quotes are adding up!
Joseph asks Daddy early Saturday morning, “You are not Santa, are you Daddy? You are just playing pretend, huh Daddy?” My response had something to do with how Mommy and Daddy are like Santa’s little helpers in getting the house prepared for Christmas.
While reading the scriptures stories (condensed picture version) about the story of Jacob and Sherem in the Book of Mormon, I mentioned that there are ‘Bad Guys’ who are against the work of our Heavenly Father and who sometimes try to hurt or kill the prophets. Joseph’s reply was that when he gets big he will shoot any bad guys with a shotgun and stop them from ever entering our house or hurting us. This made me a bit alarmed but then I remember our trip to Four Peaks in AZ and how we shot guns in the desert and drove quads and I remembered mentioning to him that guns are very dangerous and should only be used by adults.
Joseph has been figuring out that he and Derek were in mommy’s tummy when they were babies and mommy was in Grandma’s tummy, Daddy was in Grammy’s tummy, Grammy was in Grandma Nichol’s tummy…. Then he figures out that boys can’t have babies in their tummies, only girls. Now here’s the one that surprised me out of the blue! He says when I came out of Mommy’s tummy it was my birthday! Yep, and I needed to eat a birthday cake. When Derek came out it was his birthday too and he needed to eat cake! Now how did he figure that out?
