Jumping Right In

Yes, I'm going to try this blogging thing by partnering up. Maybe by having to answer to someone else it will prompt me into following through. I would like to thank Amanda for pressuring us to do this, and assuring us that it would be hilarious! If it's not, blame her!

I should start out by saying I am married to Bryan, live in Southern California, and have two kids, The Fast One - he's 4.5 and The Hungry One - she's 3.5. I know, that was my first mistake - having two so close together - but it makes everything so much funnier.

My bestest little girl (long story - well, not that long, but I'm not going to tell it) is also starting a blog about how funny her kids are, check it out www.kidsoftheporch.blogspot.com.

I'm going to make this post all about the quotes they've given me this week and hopefully I can be diligent enough to keep it up, but I doubt it.

* The Fast One loves Michael Jackson - thank you preschool - so he was singing in the car the other day - "Beat it, Beat it. If you wanna be a Nacho Man, just Beat it!" (I know, I know, it's not Nacho Man, but, I can't correct that, right? I guess it won't be so cool when he's like eight, but it's totally hilarious now.) Then I hear The Hungry One go - "Ohhhhhhh Yeaaaaaaaah." just like the Kool Aid Man! She gets it too.

* I was telling The Fast One why he shouldn't do something - probably the 37th time that day - and he told me, "Don't get mad, get glad." See, TV is good for something.

* I told The Fast One the other day - "Fast One, you are good at puzzles." He said, "Yeah, that's why I'm smart, smarter than anyone can see." Probably.

* Here's the before night time ritual - "Fast One, what do you want to watch?" Fast One - "I wanna watch that strong man show." Bryan, "Okay." Me, "What's that?", The Hungry One, "E-Man." Me - "Oh yes, E-Man." These will be the kids that totally grow up with different names for things and fight to the death when someone tries to tell them that's not correct. This coming from the woman who wants to punch people in the face who say "Fustrated." The word has an R in it!
