Some stories for Lani

I received a scolding email from my baby sister becuase I am not keeping the blog up to date. Admittedly, I'm a bit behind, but here are a couple of jewels that I heard today

We are driving in the car with the boys.... (for those who are unfamiliar with our midwest institutions, Menards is a home improvement store -- a la Home Depot, and Cicis is a pizza buffet).
Evan: (singing) Save big money.... save big money....when you shop Menards! Save big money, save big money, when you shop Menards! Save big money.... Save big money....
Me: Evan, you are a NUT!
Evan: What!?!?! I found this paper from Cicis!
Me: confused But.... you're singing the Menards song!
Evan: Cause Cicis doesn't have a song!


and later, driving to another destination
Evan: Mom, can we go to the store and buy a webkins today? I'll use my own money.
Me: Are you sure you want to do that? I thought you were saving up for a Batman Lego game.
Evan: No, I said webkins. WEBKINS. You know... webkins... batman... they rhyme, so you were probably confused.
Brendan: Mom, now you say, 'Ooooh."


And tonight, I was sitting on the couch with Brendan on my lap, watchin' a little Kim Possible together and Brendan twisted around to face me, put a hand on my cheek, looked lovingly into my eyes and said, "Mom, I like you."

Oh they have been in rare form today!
