"And a cherry on top for my mommy, please!"

Kids say such adorable/funny/insightful things. There are so many things that I wish I had jotted down because when I go to tell the story knowing something hysterical/cute/scary happened, it completely slips from my mind. So, I am hoping to capture more of those quotes and note them here to help jog my pregnancy brain (no- I'm not pregnant- but I just never lost the lack of brain part of the pregnancy, or the belly- sigh...) but the kids are worth it- and here is why---

Here's a quick story from last night. My mom and I decided to take Aidan out for a date last night. David had Owen out of town to pick David's mom up from the airport as she is in to see her mom who is very ill. They were getting home very late at night so I wanted to take advantage of my alone time with Aidan.

We went to a local restaurant/ice cream place. Aidan ordered his own dessert from the waitress... and this is what he said:
"I would like white ice cream with chocolate syrup and a cherry on top for my mommy, please."
What I found especially endearing is that this was not prompted at all... he just knew he didn't want the cherry, but figured I might (I'm guessing he figured this because he also doesn't like whip cream, and I am usually more than happy to help him out with that).

I just love those little guys!

May???

How did that happen?? Here are some pictures from Easter day... the last time I got my camera out. Yikes- I'm slipping!
Typical Owen... falling over, getting bumps... sigh...

I added this because Aidan just looks so grown up to me... pushing the stool over to wash his hands after going potty! Poor kids, do I really have to document EVERYTHING? (Don't mind the snowman soap dispenser... It still had soap, so I wanted to use it up rather then trying to pour it into a different dispenser- aka- laziness!)
