Conversations with Grant

Grant: I'm going outside.
Me: No your not....Cooper's sleeping. We'll go out when he wakes up.
Grant: NO Mama!
Me: Do you want to go back to bed?
Grant: NO Mama!
Me: Well then be nice!
Grant (with a pet to my head): Mama......your hair's GRRREAT!

It didn't work!

White lies!

The twins and I made a cake today. I just got done mixing up the batter with the mixer and told Cooper and Grant not to lick the blades of the mixer yet. "Just wait" I said. I then turned my back to get a scraper and when I turned back around I found Cooper putting his blade back in the bowl of batter. I immediately scolded him for not having patience and listening to me. He had to leave the area!
Then Grant turned toward me with a very innocent look on his face and this is how it went down.....
Me: Grant did you lick your mixer blade?
Grant: NO.....Coopie did.
Me: Grant are you sure you didn't lick the cake batter?
Grant: NO Mama.....only Coopie!
Me: Oh....okay!

I'll let you be the judge....



It was white cake batter!

It was very delicious!

What do you think? Guilty or Not guilty??

I couldn't bare to punish him when he was being so cute. And yes I let Coopie come back into the room and join us again for more cake making fun!

Just a little story.....

about how naturally weird my children are! I say naturally because I would never do anything like this.....



Jon was cutting Jackson's hair last night and I was in the bathroom with them finishing up the twins bath. I got occupied with convincing Jackson he wasn't going to die when I turned around and saw this......

and they thought it was the most hilarious thing they had ever thought of!

Of course when they saw mom and dad laughing it only made things worse!

I'm off to the store for more Q-tips!

ARGH!

You know that saying "when it rains it pours"? Well the Zimmerman house is being directly hit by a typhoon!! I have not forgotten about the blog....just been very very busy.

We've been dealing with some Cooper issues and it has not been fun. I'll post all about his surgery and ever going recuperation at nap time. The kids are running wild right now and knowing them they will notice I am busy typing and figure out a way to tie each other up and hang each other from their toes (really...they will)!!

More later.
