Kids say the darndest things.

Last night, after we got home from a long day at the mall, I was online playing cars with Neena. Christopher came running from the kitchen and says - Uh Ma, we have a probwem. I say - what is that? C says - A red booger was stuckeded in my nose. I said, Let me get a tissue. C says - No, I got it out and it was stuckeded on my finger. I said, O k, I will get a tissue and clean it off. He says, No MAAAA, I already got it off. I said, well where is in then? He says, I wiped it on the floor. Of course, by now I am trying not to pee my pants laughing because he is so serious and I am so disgusted at the thought that there is now a red booger on my floor. He yells at me to stop laughing at him. I then made him bring me to the booger so that I could clean it off the floor.

Patiently waiting

My dwarf rabbit Fader was due to have babies last night. I am very impatiently waiting for the arrivals. I will post pictures once the little bundles arrive....

Day out with Karyn........

Karyn's mom, Aunt Bess and Uncle Bob are up from Florida for her cousin's wedding. Nanie needed a ride to Milford for the rehearsal dinner tonight and wedding tomorrow. So we packed up the truck with Gianna, Jonathan, Michael, Madelyn, Nanie, Karyn and myself and headed off to Milford. When we got to Kathy's house the kids had a ball, running around her large old style house. They were great! Bess, Bob and Kathy came back from cleaning the church. Michael, Jonathan and Uncle Bob played hide and seek - they were soooo funny. Michael got up to the counter to see what Nanie was doing and found the phone. He was dialing away and teasing Bob the whole time. We headed back and got into the Londonderry/Auburn area at a quarter to 3. When we got back we realized that we hadn't eaten, which also meant that we hadn't fed the kids lunch either.....Bad mommies we are! I, of course, was starving. If you ask Karyn she will tell you that I am always hungry. I mentioned that I have been craving a nice tuna sandwich. To my surprise and happiness she had just mixed a fresh can. I will tell you that was the best sandwich I have ever had. The kids had leftover mac n cheese, all was good.... The last 2 pictures are of Michael and the mess he made in the back seat of the truck. He emptied out a brand new box of wipes all over himself and the floor. Of course I took a photo for the blog - then I tried to scold him but I was laughing too hard!

Hair do and a new cage

Jonathan wanted to get in on the fun while mommy was doing her hair today so he got a spikey hair do done. Later we took a ride to Epping, met up with Robin from Rochester and bought B Rabbit a new hutch for outside! Not bad for $20

Boys Dancing

We went to a wedding this past weekend and the kids were invited too. They were so excited when we got there because they saw the dancing floor. Steve's friend Roger married his high school sweetheart Misty. The boys just couldn't understand why they couldn't start dancing when we got there - after all there was only a wedding ceremony happening. They made friends quickly with the tall blonde girl in the picture.

Painting Pumpkins

A couple of weekends ago Granny bought the kids some pumpkins. Today I dug out the paints and let the kids have some fun. Here are pictures of daddy making a grumpy faced one. The movie is hysterical, Jonathan was singing one heck of an off tune.

Our trip on the Conway Scenic Railroad

We took our annual fall foliage trip up through Crawford Notch into Fabyan Station. Total train ride was 5 hours and 40 minutes. This year we took our trip in the first class car as opposed to previous years that we rode coach. First class was very nice-plush seats, carpeting and climate controlled. It was pretty cold when we first arrived in North Conway, mommy was shivering. Coach seating is first come first serve and first class is assigned seats. We had six seats and the seating was set up with seats alternating and sets facing each other. Christopher, Jonathan, Daddy and I sat in one set of 4 seats. Granny and Gramps sat across the way with 2 strangers. People see us coming on the train with the 2 kids and cringe - every year has been the same. Once the people see how well behaved the boys are they enjoy the trip. Not this year, the man saw us sit down and almost fell running to the conductor to ask for a change in his seating. Of course the train car was full and he was unable to have his seats changed, they quickly went to the open coach for the first half of the ride. @$$holes - last year we got on the train and it was full of seniors, it was an across America senior tour. The poor seniors, you could see the anguish on their faces when we boarded the train, within a short time they were all enjoying how much the boys were enjoying the trip. One man even asked if he could purchase the children, if he only knew the real boys. I must say that my children are amazing well behaved on the train trip, seriously do you think that I would go annually if the children didn't behave well? Along the entire trip there is a narrator telling the tales of the mountains. From the rich people that built the Mount Washington Hotel to the railroad families lost in land slides. The first year the ride was narrated by an older man that was amazing, to my disappointment he retired that winter. He did such an amazing job. The narration makes the trip. This year the narrator was amusing but it just wasn't the same. Then on the ride back down the tracks the dome cars generator died. The train stopped 3 times along the way to start the generator back up. Because there was no power in the dome the PA system was not working. The narrator was unable to tell any stories along the ride home. What a long ride back it was. Here is a picture that Christopher took of granny and gramps with my camera. Not too shabby for a 5 year old! Isn't he the cutest Christopher you ever did see? And this would be the cutest Jonathan in the whole wide world! What a spectacular view! Some funny comments made to the narrator and train crew. What can you do about the view? Uh, nothing can't move the mountain. The colors on the trees aren't very pretty. Well we will have to get out the spray guns than. The trees are in the way of my picture taking. They had no response to that one. We as a collective group decided that everyone on that train - except us - were MORONS. Next year we will buy 2 extra seats to prevent any unwanted assumptions made about my children. And finally - people that do not like children should not be allowed out in public. Oh and one more, parents that do not heed the warning of the train crew to keep all body parts inside the train window at all times and let their child stick her head out the window, get it stuck and then let her scream while they try to pry her head out of the small opening in the window instead of opening the window to get her back in should be kicked off the train! Better yet, should have to run behind the train over the Frankestein Bridge!
