I'm back! Blogging has its uses.

Today, here were some things I just said to my kids. All of these statements received little to no response, nor did they cause much interruption to their craziness.

"Stop screaming, please."

"The thermometer is not a toy."

"What happened to cleaning the basement?"

This morning:

Aaron: "David, why do you love Mommy more than me?" (he's says these kinds of things all the time.)

David: "Because, I just do! Her has a beautiful voice and you don't."

Did you hear my heart melting?

In response to me saying, "Don't worry; I won't involve you in my holiday cheer," Aaron made the declamation that he is going to be jolly, this year.

On Thursday, Matt & I went to a pre-season Blazers game versus the Denver Nuggets. I adore going to Blazers games; we have 1/4 season tickets. I also love taking Matt; he totally gets into the game and always has fun. He's a great date.

I'm back. Took a cyber break, for a while.

Another Aaron quote that made and keeps making me laugh:

"I'm sick of all these wanna-be-homeless people."

Real question from today:

"Holly, do you keep the ice cream in the freezer?"

Today, my mom played Count The Homeless People on the way back from downtown. Okay, it wasn't really a game, but that's how it seemed to me.

Sigh.

Today's parental quote:

"Well, I never have really liked soccer because there is such a high possibility for brain damage from hitting the ball with their heads."

Sigh.
