So here is a post of some of the random funny things that happen in our crazy daily life. For your enjoyment at our expense.
- Gemma likes to floss. Only she doesn't floss. She sucks the mint flavoring off the floss and then chews it. I also think she would eat an entire tube of (fluoride free) toothpaste if left to her own devices.
- Kolbe likes to play with the laundry. The other day he put a pair of Aaron's underwear on his head and crawled across the room and into our buffet/side-server cabinet. I felt badly for him but I couldn't help but laughing. It was honestly very funny.
- Gemma broke the baby gate trying to climb over it (don't worry, it was just gating the hallway, not the stairs). She didn't think this was very funny when it happened (and neither did I), but she didn't get hurt, I was able to fix it and I think she learned a very valuable lesson (kind of like the time she ate soap), so now I can look back and chuckle.
- Kolbe likes to throw things, and not just balls anymore. Toys. Big toys. Books. Toy cars. The step stool. I mean, really child, do you have to throw everything you get your hands on?! I'm seeing a future baseball player. In the meantime...
- Aaron recently shaved his beard. (He has a beard during fall and winter and goes clean-shaven in the spring and summer.) Later that same evening Gemma and I were taking a shower and I felt her moving her hands up and down on the bottoms of my legs. "Gemma," I asked, "What are you doing?" Her answer..."I'm shaving the beard on your legs, mommy." heh heh. Oh dear.
- We were driving to my sister Mandy's house and I decided to take a different route. Observant Gemma noticed and asked why. When I told her it was just because we were going a different way her reply was, "oh, are we going to a different aunt Mandy's?" Her logic cracks me up.
- The other day Kolbe had something blue in his mouth. How on earth did he get ahold of an M&M? was my first thought. Upon doing the finger swipe I pulled a blue bead out of his mouth. From our children's Rosary he was playing with. That happened to be missing another three beads besides the one in his mouth. Not so child-friendly, methinks.
- After her nap on Ash Wednesday, I caught Gemma furiously rubbing her forehead with a tissue. I asked her what she was doing. "Wiping my Lents off, mommy," was her reply.
Never dull around here, that's for sure. Some days it's easier to hold onto my sanity than others, but that's just how we roll. Happy Tuesday, everyone!

Thanks for sharing! It's great that you're documenting all these cute events - they'll be so much fun to look back on years from now :)
Oh my goodness, this made me smile and laugh so so much! Thank you for sharing this!!
How funny...that Gemma she is a character!!! That freaks me out about the "baby safe" rosaries...I always give those out as Baptism gifts...was it from Holy Trinity by chance?
It was, but it was one of the smaller standard size children's ones, not the big chunky baby ones. He does fine with those. I suppose I shouldn't have given him this one in the first place. The beads were tiny, but I really didn't think he could bite through them!! Live and learn!
Oh, those were so cute! I'm a big believer in letting kids learn from their mistakes re: the gate thing. And yes, I'm with you on not frequent enough leg shaving during the winter. lol!
Number 5 was by far my favorite! LOL!! I can so hear Kate in that comment, too.
Love the recent post about life in your home. It is such a blessing to see other mothers living their vocation and struggling, laughing and working on the same things.
You have to watch out for that toothpaste. Second Daughter received a tube for Christmas and managed to go through pretty much the whole thing in the time we were at my parents' house. I did notice her "brushing her teeth" a lot, and would shoo her out of the bathroom when I found her in there, but I wasn't functioning at full capacity and didn't really pay attention until we got home and realized it was empty.
That is so funny about Gemma eating floss! Just yesterday, Noah noticed a new container of floss on the counter and asked if he could have some, followed by the comment "I love floss... I love the way it tastes." That prompted me to look at him only to find him chewing it as if it were gum!
haha! yes keep these for later in life!
I wondered what was different about Aaron. I went to pick up some Congaplex from him the other day and knew something was different about him but couldn't figure out what. He looked younger was the only thing I could think of.
"I'm shaving the beard on your legs, mommy" -- oh my gosh. Classic!!!!
'Wiping my Lents off, mommy' -- hehehe!
My graphic designer's 4 year old said of Ash Weds: "hash brown Wednesday."
