Sunny Sunday Sights and Silly Sayings

What a wonderfully sunny Sunday we had!  It was chilly, but we had no basketball games or work, so we got in some good quality family time with a side of Vitamin D.  I just wanted to remember these days before the next Nor'easter/Blizzard/Winter Storm from Hades hits us tonight.

Maggie got in trouble for her tendency to fight back when we ask her to do something...

Maggie: Sorry, Mom, I just went to Confession and now I ruined it because of my anger problems.

Me: Maggie, you don't have anger problems, you just have to learn to control your temper.

Maggie:  Well I wish I wasn't Irish so I didn't have such a quick temper!

Dad: Alexander, come here and get your shoes on.

Xander: I wish I was Rapunzel and you would have to come to me.

Declan: We are doing the Letter P in school!  P-P-P-Penguin!

Me: That's right!

Declan: P-P-P-Airplane!

Me: Close! Plane starts with a P.

Declan: No, my teacher said AIRplane starts with a P.

The boys have been asking Alexa to fart, and then the little ones do it, and so I reminded everyone at dinner that we don't say "fart"...

Xander: So we can never say the F word??!!

Maggie, riding her new (to us) womens bike for the first time...

"I just feel like such a woman!"

Upon hearing Lent was halfway over...

Xander: I just want to say the A word sooooo bad! (Alleluia)

I was reminiscing about being pregnant with Brendan...

Me: Declan, remember when Brendan was in my belly?

Declan: Wait...did you swallow Brendan with your mouth?

Xander spilled some of the water he was drinking:

Xander: Sorry, I have drinking issues.  I don't know why I said that.  I meant that I have a drinking problem.

In big news...Xander, at the ripe old age of 6.5, has gotten over his fear of bike riding and is "a superhero bike rider" now :)
