These have all been shared on facebook, but wanted to move them here to keep them all together on this blog. It was fun to compile them, I had forgotten so many!!
In the words of my almost 6 year old who just left the room on his way to bed... "Good Night and Big Balls!!!" (please note this is from Wipeout... it really is not inappropriate although it may sound like it from a not even 6 year old!!) Noah, summer 2009
the #1 way you know you watch WAY too much reality tv in your house...when asked to pick up their toys you overhear your 4 year old ask the 5 year old if he wants to "join in a secret alliance against her" Caleb to Noah, summer 2009
to my darling Noah...if you have any hope of seeing your 6th birthday you'll remove the phrase "My problem with this dinner is..." from your vocabulary. Just a suggestion.
I spent the afternoon with Noah after his first day of kindergarden, at the end of our adventure he said "mom I am always gonna remember this day." I said yep starting Kindergarden is a big day and he said "well that too...but mostly cause it was the best day ever just me and you" So what if he insults my dinners and forms alliances against me! Noah, August 2009
Noah made last night at the dinner table when he went to take his first bite of chicken and put his fork down and asked "Mom this chicken I am going to eat... how did it die? and is it in heaven?" Then he didn't really eat it.. I am not sure what I'll do with a 5 year old vegetarian! Noah, September 2009
Noah told me this morning that Wednesday's are his favorite day of the school week because "we get out early and then I can get on with my day" I am not sure what exactly a not even 6 year old has to do but apparently it is enough that an extra hour makes all the difference! Noah, September 2009
Last night as I tucked Caleb into bed he thanked me for being his mom. I thanked him for being my Caleb to which he quickly replied "huh? Well I didnt really have a choice!!" He is the king of the backhanded compliment Caleb, September 2009
"Mom remember that book you read me about Jesus who does miracles???? The Bible?? that was Awesome!" Caleb Hollis = the next Chris Farley (with hopefully a much better ending) Caleb, September 2009
"Mom when I get bigger I am going to have my own funhouse and drive from festival to festival and take tickets from the people. But not from you mom...you can go for free... as long as no one else with tickets is waiting." Caleb, age 4, aspiring Carnie October 2009
Noah: "Mom I have a dinner request...I am requesting that you don't cook it!" (he then sees the look on my face) "what I mean is you work so hard...I meant you need a night off... I meant... oh boy...I love you mom" Noah, October 2009
Caleb just daid "mom I love you from here to the tv and back" I said "the tv? thats not very far" to which he responded "well if you make pizza for dinner it will be from here to the van outside" Anyone know the number for Dominos??? October 2009
Caleb's observation for the day "Oscar the Grouch freaks me out. I mean he is ALWAYS grouchy, he LOVES trash and he has a pet worm. Something is obviously not right with that guy!!!" October 2009
Today at school Noah had to make a puppet of his best friend. He made a Caleb puppet. His comment "Mom it is really awesome that my brother and my best fiend are the same person!" October 2009
"You know when we got to soccer on Saturday and saw the yellow team they didn't look that tough. But once they started playing I knew... I knew they had God on their side!" Noah on why his soccer team (age 4-6) lost to the yellow team October 2009
Caleb just asked me if I miss being young. I said "not really" and he replied "Oh is that because you can't remember that far back?" November 2009
Dr Update..Noah got his shot first and screamed his head off! Took 5 nurses to hold him down. Caleb was up next, jumped up on the table said "I'll be fine" when the nurse went to hold him, laughed when they gave hm the shot then jumped down and said "didn't hurt a bit" while smirking at Noah. Little brother had to so up big brother for once! November 2009
Our neighbors mom passed away. I sent the boys over to deliver a card. I said "Caleb you hand them the card and Noah you say "I'm sorry"" Noahs eyes got big and he said "No Way am I saying sorry!!! I dont want her to think I did it!!!" November 2009
Noah said tonight "mom God let me pick my mom...and I chose you. I love you mom" I melted into a puddle of tears. Who cares that my house is falling apart and I took a paycut at work...this kid is going to have an amazing Christmas! November 2009
Watching Burgermeister Meisterburger with the kids... it was just the part where Burgermeister burns the kids toys and Caleb says "I've been watching this show my entire life and I even knew this part was coming, but I keep watching hoping that guy makes a better choice this time. Once again he's let me down" Nothing like being disappointed by a Christmas Cartoon character December 2009
Caleb just said he's going to wear his Halloween costume (Freddie from scooby gang) to my work Christmas party tonight. He'll go as Freddie, see Santa, collect any treats and goodies then head to the car, change and do it all again as Caleb. His rationale, "I get twice as much stuff, will confuse Santa into thinking Freddie lives with us and then we’ll get twice as many presents!” this kid always has an angle December 2009
Thank you for all the birthday wishes! I don't feel any older than yesterday but Caleb assured me this morning that I most certainly LOOK older than yesterday! December 2009
Caleb said today that when he gets older he is going to have some kids then adopt kids with Down Syndrome. He is going to name the first 2 girls he adopts Meg and Alina so that his kids can know what it is like to grow up with fun sisters... and then he added "and because I always want a Meg and Alina in my house...even when I have my own house" December 2009
Took the boys to see Alvin & Chimpmunks and in the movie Cousin Toby cracks the big screen tv with his controller while Wii bowling. I whispered to Caleb "hmmm, I know someone else who did that" and he stood up & yelled "I don't know what you are talking about, MOM!!! I did NOT crack the tv during Wii Bowling!!!!" Then he settled back into his chair waited a minute and leaned over and said “I cracked it during Wii baseball” December 2009
Noah said today that my hair is "big and sexy" I said "WHAT????" and he said "big and sexy just like the can of stuff in your bathroom says!!" When asked he said he does not know what it means...just that the can of hair stuff says "big and sexy". Lesson for the day...I need to switch to something with a kid friendly name, like Paul Mitchell or Suave December 2009
Caleb just told me that I probably will not be at his wedding because "you're kind of old and you'll be dead by then" He'll regret that someday... maybe even today... when I send him to bed without dinner! January 2010
Caleb's favorite prayer "Now I lay me down to sleep, pray the Lord my soul to keep. Angel's watch me through the night and help me WIN THE TICKLE FIGHT!" we just completed a 35 min tickle fight...I am exhausted! January 2010
Listenin to Johnny Cash tonight, song (cry, cry, cry) says "Every one knows where you go when the sun goes down..." Caleb says "Is this guy for real??? of course he knows where they go...to bed! Where else would they go at night???? This song is ridiculous!!" January 2010
sitting down to lunch Caleb "Mom would you be mad if I said I don't want Ravioli for lunch?" Me "Yep" Caleb "Well good thing I didn't say that then! (sighs) Great lunch mom, thanks" January 2010
