Chronicles #10
April 2009-August 2009
We are going through Costco’s meat aisle and William emphatically is saying, ”look, look, look!” We realize he is pointing at a package of whole fish.
Burton responds to him, “Yah, they aren’t alive anymore”.
Emma responds to him, “William can you say Dead Fish”?
William says, “Dead Fish!”
We were listening to the song “Big Rock Candy Mountain” and Emma says, “That makes me want to eat the radio.”
After a primary activity Emma told us the boys were throwing balls and one hit me in the head. I had to go to the doctor.
Burton: “What did the doctor say?”
Emma: “Stay away from balls.”
William affectionately calls Tracy’s parents “Papa and Wamma.”
Emma is so desparate for a pet that she caught herself a pet fly in her bug box. “I call him Wally, I love him.”
Emma: “Mom, lets be wild hamsters.”
Emma crouched over her stuffed animal giraffe and alligator and says Emma: “Pretend I am a tiger and I am eating these for breakfast.”
Emma: ”Lets be mama monkey and baby monkey. Would you pretend you are eating insects out of your baby monkey’s fur?”
William was playing with a crunchy chow mein noodle that had a small hook shape and says, “arghh, arghh Pirate” and then places it in his mouth and pleads, “Ah, help me, help me.” Williams infatuation with pirates extends to hangers, which he will take in one hand and try to pull his arm back up into his shirt sleeve to pretend he has a hook arm.
Emma: “Pretend we are bunnies.”
Tracy: “How will we open the fridge, do the dishes, get things in the counter?”
Emma: “Daddy will stay a person when we are bunnies and get stuff out of the fridge and counters. Daddy will make us a box to keep us in. There will be a bunny size fridge, bunny size couch, scriptures, rocking chair and books.”
We often find shoes missing a shoelace because William loves lacing and unlacing Burton’s shoelaces and then using the laces to tie to his truck and pull it around.
William loves his Mr. Potatohead and carries it around with him everywhere. He often removes the little storage door on the back to put his hand inside and make it talk.
While in our rental property on the golf course Emma and Tracy where crafting on the back porch when a golfer missed a shot and Emma asked, “Mommy, what does ‘ohjit’ mean?”.
We’re glad not to be on the golf course anymore.
We recently moved into a lovely new home and when we showed the house to the kids for the first time they went tearing through each room exploring. Upon discovering the under stair storage closet Emma emphatically states, “Mom look there’s a secret passage!”

Robot
William pointed to a collection of boxes in the garage and asked, "Robot"? I had some fun with the glue gun and William had fun making Robot sounds. It lasted a full 5 minutes before losing it's head!
