Kids!...The Crazy and Funny Things They Do and Say!

First off here is a new game Corbin and Aidan invented...Action Hero/Any Small Toy Will Do War Chess. They don't even know what a Chess Game is but they made this up and you play it almost exactly the same way. Each person gets a handful of toys that you line up on opposite ends of the Battle Field. Then you pick a toy to move toward your opponent after awhile of that they have a War or big battle. Then back to playing Chess again and when they get bored they'd have another War. Pretty clever if you ask me. I love to see their imaginations soar! The best part is they can play this for a good hour before they start fighting usually because Aidan is ready to move on to something else and starts taking Corbin's players at random. Corbin is usually getting pretty bossy by that point and calling all the moves including telling Aidan which toy to move and where to put it. That's when I step in and declare it clean up time!

O.k. So this is just a picture that Corbin wanted me to take because I took a picture of Aidan building with his blocks. But why I posted it was more because of something really funny he said and did the other night. I like listening to Taylor Swift and all her music. Corbin has taken to it as well. His favorite song is "Picture to Burn". The song is talking about how Taylor catches her Boyfriend out with another girl and the girl is driving his pick-up truck and how Taylor didn't ever get to drive his truck. So the Chorus goes something like this "I hate that stupid old pick-up truck you never let me drive. You're a redneck, heartbreak, who's really bad at lying. So watch me strike a match on all my wasted time as far as I'm concerned you're just another picture to burn." We happened to see the Music video on CMT the other morning and so Corbin started putting the whole song together. He loves to sing the chorus and gets his foot stomping to the music as he belts it out at the top of his lungs. And it's fun to watch him but what is even better is....later that night after seeing the music video he was asking me questions about it and talking to me about it. He stated " When he gets bigger he was going to have a pick-up truck and a girlfriend. So that means that if he has a girlfriend he would be her boyfriend." I told him to talk to his Grandpa about getting a pick-up truck when he gets bigger. Since Grandpa likes trucks and especially the older classics I thought he'd be able to help him out in that department. Corbin thought that was a great idea and informed me that he would be a good boyfriend and let his girlfriend drive his pick-up truck and mommy and daddy too, and Aidan and of course grandpa and grandma too. Then he said that he was only going to have one girlfriend, not two at the same time because that wasn't nice and he didn't want his girlfriend to be mad at him. So the story goes on...When he said his prayers that night he blessed himself to get a pick-up truck and to have Grandpa help him find one when he gets bigger and to get a girlfriend too and to be a nice boyfriend. He was peeking out at me with one eye closed and one open, just to see my reaction. What a little cutie and what a little stinker at the same time! I just had to pick him up and hug him. Of course I was trying hard not to bust out laughing, I couldn't quite conceal my smile though. Then I told him he was way to little to worry about that stuff yet. I love you Corby!

What a cute boy!!! Aidan loves blocks and loves to stack them but lately he has been getting way creative with his stacking. The problem is he loves to knock down his towers just as much as he loves to build them, so it's hard to get the camera ready and get his picture before he's knocked it down again. He is really getting into making arches, tunnels and bridges with his blocks. He made a really cool tower with a couple of arches the other day but he knocked it down as I was taking the camera out of the case to take a picture. Anyway this one was pretty cool too even with one side leaning he made a arch and kept it standing. Pretty cool if you ask me. I love his expression in this picture too. He likes to pull faces or just not smile in pictures usually. But here he is all smiles and just being the Cutie Pie(or Cubie Pie as he calls himself) he is. Aidan loves to get the Lego's out and build guns and battle ships with his Brother, and let me till you they get pretty extensive with their designs. These aren't just little dinky things they're building, they sometimes have a hard time carrying them when their done, 'cause they're so big and heavy and elaborate. I love you Aidy!

I just had to spotlight my Favorite Boys, we've been having such good times together lately and they've just been so dang cute and funny lately I had to share.
