ok. so i live in a house with doug and two boys. there are PLENTY of things that make me smile, giggle and laugh out loud. problem is, my memory stinks. so, i may add on to this post as i think of them...but for now - here are a few grins for ya:
1. yesterday, i was in a major cleaning frenzy. going through the boys' closets. this is NO easy feat, since dawson is the biggest pack rat IN THE WORLD. anyway...i'm feeling pretty good. shelves are emptier, clothes that dont fit are out of there, the valentine candy is in the garbage. then "they" come in. dodge takes one step in his room, and says, "mom, what are you doing?! now i dont know where ANYTHING is!!" doug backs him up, and says, "rach, this is just what my mom used to do...you shouldn't mess with a guy's stuff" thanks honey. dodge proceeds to empty both of his pockets of broken-up asphalt & rocks. seriously? dawson has 3 jars of rocks & dirt on his dresser. plus a few other jars of "treasures". what is the deal with boys & rocks?
2. while cruising in the mini-van, i am flicking through channels on the radio. dodge yells out, "STOP, it's johnny cash! turn it up!" this may not be funny to you, but i love that my 5 year old is so opinionated on music...and prefers the man in black to boot!!! :)
3. a while back, my mom was doing a crossword puzzle...dawson wanted to "help", so she was giving him the clues and he would try to think of the answer. my mom-"dawson, who is harry potter's friend?" dawson- "george bailey!" this is only hilarious if you know how seriously addicted i am to the movie "its a wonderful life" from the 1940's...jimmy stewart plays a guy named george bailey...and his arch rival is henry potter (he was close ;)) anyhoo...i love that my 7 year old's gut reaction is a movie from 1946 instead of the now trendy harry potter books!!! and yes, in case you're wondering, my kids genuinely love the movie and we watch it several times during the holidays!
