Aunty Nanokha

Sometimes when I make up a story for the kids, I let them add in random words and sentences, and it’s usually very amusing and encourages their creativity and imagination. I thought I would share last night’s story with you…

Once upon a time there were three
3 year old: stars
named
5 year old: Mark,
3 year old: Nanokha (you have to say the “kha” like in Arabic with the grating throaty sound!)
5 year old: Jr.
3 year old: I mean Aunty Nanokha
They were shooting stars that reached the moon. Mark was trying to pass
5 year old: over
the moon, to get to
5 year old: mars
for a umm, star covention, and Aunty Nanokha went
3 year old: under
the moon to get to the
3 year old: greens
greens? to umm, play golf? And then Jr
5 year old: fell out of the sky into the open sea
but how can he get back to the sky?
3 year old: Aunty Nanokha can help him!
OK,
5 year old: the moon can tell her!
so the moon tells Aunty Nanokha to help Jr get out of the open sea
so, umm, she gets a rope, i don’t know how
3 year old: from the rope store
of course! She gets rope from the outer space rope store and then she pulls Jr back into the sky
and then she told him he’s too young to fall into the open sea
and they all live happily every after!
The end.

When there really is nothing left to say

Me: Can you please stop talking and eat?

5 year old: I am eating, I am chewing, see?

Me: Well you can’t chew and talk at the same time!

3 year old: Why don’t YOU stop talking and eat!!

Me: What??? I am only talking to tell you to stop talking!!

5 year old: What if we could talk with our bottoms?

Dine with us

DH: is there not enough food on your plate?
Me: huh?
DH: well, the way you’re chewing on those bones…
Me: har har, you’re just so funny I can hardly contain myself
DH: yeah, that’s apparent
3 year old: you know when I came on the bed last night, it was because I almost had a bad dream
Me: almost huh? so, you knew that the bad dream was imminent?
4 year old: so, what was the bad dream about?
3 year old: I didn’t have it! I said ALMOST!
2 year old: gosh! duuude! ahahahahaha

Peek in Monday & my dancing kids

On Saturday night we had a little dinner at my parent’s house for my sister’s boyfriend, who is leaving to study in the UK. I wanted to participate in Cake’s Peek in Mondays, so I took a bunch of video of everyone, except, I forgot to turn on the mic on the camera! (can you say “loooooser”?!)

Anyways, here is one of my kids trying to dance! (yes, that is my laptop in the background, I do travel with it often, and yes, I was also trying to get some work done, and that’s my mom sitting in the background and laughing a lot!!)

(I have no idea who’s been teaching them to dance!!)

ps… if you can’t understand the lyrics, it’s probably for the best!

Life with men

I just finished a 15 minute diaper change, and no poop was involved! There was a lot of cajoling though, as in “please can I put on your diaper? please? can I put it on now? please?”... and it ended with “ok, are you done playing with your pee pee now?”

*pee pee as in what my kids call their “private part” not actual pee!
