Mom I dont want to eat pigeon...

So this afternoon I pick up my 4 yr old from school , knowing they made "turkey cookies" GREAT! So he shows me his cookie very proudly telling me its going to taste even better than his turkey sandwiches( which is is obsessed with by the way). Once we get home he decides " well the wattle got messed up I think its more of a pigeon now and I hope we dont have to eat pigeon for thanksgiving" WHERE on earth do kids come up with this stuff? I mean pigeon really? They also made a thankfulness wreath - expecting something cute on his I open his backpack and he is thankful for his toys ( of course you have to have priorities at 4!!) and *drumroll* " the train that took us to baseball" . We went to a baseball game back in September I think it was , possibly August - he wanted no real part of it at all and was having more fun trying to flirt with the adorable little girl in front of us oh and the hotdogs were great ( they better have been considering we paid HOW much for them?!) . Meanwhile my 7 yr old LOVED it and had a blast - See exhibit a- 7 yr old was happy about being there

Meanwhile - little brother was nice and bratty - the only time we got a picture of him remotely happy was of course with an incredibly over priced hot dog....

Now don't get me wrong I'm thrilled he remembers going and had a blast and that he loves his toys but I mean he has the best big sister in the world , 2 parents who just love him to pieces, wants for nothing and he is thankful for his toys?????? I'm thinkin I might just tell him the turkey this year - is in fact a pigeon.

Lucasisms...

So My 4 year old apparently has alot to say - most of the time he becomes the funniest little boy I know. Lately he has had some good ones so here is a starting list of random things that have come out of him in the past month or so!

1- Old people are not Humans -
Me- " I'm getting old buddy"
Him - " no mommy dont do that I like you being human"
Me- " honey old people are human too"
Him " No mom they are not they are just old"
Me- " what about your grandparents?"
Him" ok well my grandmas arent old but the rest of the old people are just old not human"

2- Thankfulness
Lucas" I'm thankful Optimus Prime is an autobot , otherwise that could have been a disaster mommy"

3- Eggs
" I dont like scambled eggs , just the yellow ones"

4- A kid in his class he doesnt like
Me " honey maybe he just needs a friend?"
Lucas " Well if he were not so mean he might have friends"

5- Chapel time at school
" Oh we read a story about some dude named god and a platypus"

6- The hat he refused to take off even to go to bed
" Seriously mom its keeping my hair nice and kozy"


the list could go on and on and I'm sure I'll be adding to it shortly!!!
