I update my Facebook status often with silly things the boys say, and eventually I compile them here. It's been over a year, so this might be...looooonnnggg.

Chance: You know I don't like that, Mom.
Me: Oh yeah, then why were you laughing?
Chance: Because that's how I cry sometimes.
5/9/11

"My mom's name is: Miss Angie
She is: 21 years old

Her favorite food is: sour apples.
I love my mom because: she lets me play Minecraft."
Then he drew a stick figure with a red ninja mask- that's me.

Last night I caught myself saying "No shooting guns at the dinner table." Wow, this really is life with boys...
4/14

4/13
"You have to be married to get a job." ~Chance
4/8
Charlie, do you want to play basketball?

4/7

Chance: "Mom, there's the place with weeds and monsters; I really want to go there."
Me: What?
Chance: "You know, this new place with weeds and monsters."
Me: Hmm, weeds and monsters...Do you know where this place is?
Chance: "Yeah, it's on Minecraft!"
(The lines between reality and video games are quite blurry sometimes...)
2/23
"Ok, Chance, you be the turtle and I'll be Mario..." ~Charlie (doesn't that just sound like a trip to the hospital?!)
2/19
"Mom, you have a widdle booty and I have a big booty." ~Chandler (oh the charm!)
2/12
Today the boys realized that they can actually attack Daddy at once. So as Chuck fled, I heard one of them say "I wanna spank his hiney!!" as they chased him. Yep, he's in trouble now...
2/9
I've observed a common saying around our house. It starts as a sigh and ends with "Oh Chandler."
2/7
Charlie: Why did you say Dad was here?
Me: because I saw headlights that looked like his.
Charlie: Remember Mom, lots of people have headlights.
1/30
Charlie: What's for lunch?
Me: Wonton Soup.
Charlie: Hey, just like my friend named Juan...

"Ya know, I haven't met an alien yet." ~Chance
1/6

1/3
We are home now and our house looks like a toy bomb exploded in it. Gotta love the post-Christmas toy hangover... ;)
12/29/2010
Is it bad if you tell your kid his birthday was yesterday instead of today so you can fit the party into your vacation schedule?
12/26
Luke, the boys' 8 yo cousin said "I think Charlie was meant to have a big head, Chance was meant to be fast, and Chandler was meant to be funny." Well said, Luke. Well said.

12/7

10/26
He constantly ponders the mysteries of the universe. "So girls like boys, but boys don't like girls. That is really weird, huh?" -Chance
10/22
"Charlie likes the color purple. That is so weird." ~Chance
10/22

9/18

9/9
Chandler now successfully uses the potty all day (we're not to the point of using underwear yet though)...the only downside is that I now have 3 boys that describe what their poop looks like.
9/2
Chandler got ahold of my drink when I wasn't looking, and has since been proclaiming "Docka Peppa Good!!"
8/27
Chandler has gone #2 in the potty for 3 days in a row, FTW!
8/25

We're all getting adjusted to Charlie being back in school (sniff, sniff)
8/23
When I gwow up and have hundred miwlion dollars, I will buy lots of legos sets as pwesents for you, Mom." -Chance
8/23
Every kid has enjoyed ripping up a book at one point or another. Chandler has more sophisticated tastes, though. He prefers only books from the library.
8/17
In talking to Chance about how he shouldn't hurt girls, Chuck said, "How would you feel if I hurt Mommy?" Chance replied, "Then I would have to teach you wesson, Dad! I would beat you up and not be your son any.more!" I shouldn't laugh, but it was so funny...
8/14
"Mom, what does hippie mean?" How do you answer that for a 6 year old?? -charle
8/12
Today Chandler kept saying "Cose eyes Mom" then he'd put a surprise toy in my hand. The best was when he said "Cose eye Channer" and then he closed his eyes, and put the toy from one hand to the other, then opened his eyes and went, "Oh wow!!
8/7
It's not every day you get to kiss a crocadile...but today was Chandler's day...

7/22
Chandler just tried to convince me that he did not hurt his brother, the rock monster did it.
7/22
While fingerpainting with the boys, Chandler took his paper plate of paint and stuck it in the pool. To which Chance said, "I guess he's watercoloring."
7/19
Chance built a bionicle robot and put a lego piece on his knee and said "Look, Mom, he has an Ipad."
7/6
Charlie made a maze out of legos. Which leads me to one of those sappy parental moments where I think my kids is a genius. This, however, does nothing to my disdain for cleaning those little genius-creating suckers off my floor.
7/3
Charlie has as many stitches on his toe as he has years under his belt.
ER count for injuries since we had kids: 2. Not too shabby.

6/26
"Mom, watch this. I'm going to press x,y,a,b and go weally fast!" Then he runs around the room. ~Chance (Can you tell the X box has taken its toll?!)
6/24
Why do 2 yr olds have to fight sleep so much?
6/20
Thankful for my Dad (the super-hero for my boys), and the many dad-figures in my life. And most of all, my boys' dad, who keeps me sane and is a better father than I could've ever imagined...

I sure am glad I have boys to shoot all the bad guys in my house.
6/15
Chance puts on sunglasses and says, "Wow, everything is in 3D!"

It turns out that scratching your mosquito bite in your sleep is a justifiable reason to wake your mother at 2 am. Really. (-Chance)
5/10
Chandler decided to he needed to kick his apple jacks up a notch. So he added (no, more like, dumped) Zatarain's seasoning in it. Watch out Emeril, Chandler's learning fast...
4/30
Chandler narrated his first story to me tonight, which included puppies driving trucks into water (which he found hilarious), and himself falling down and getting a "spicy booboo", and a kitty flying an airplane, then falling down on a car. I ♥ this age.
4/29
Charlie says, "Hey Chance, let's go outside so I can crack a confetti egg on your head. Chance says, enthusiastically: "Okay!!"
4/29
"I weally wanna catch a weprechan someday." ~Chance
4/28
Even Chandler's imaginary friends exclaim "Mine!" at each other...
4/26
I just busted Chandler pouring out some conditioner - it was Suave...at least he has cheaper tastes than Charlie!
4/25
Turns out that 2 big bottles of expensive shampoo/conditioner really look like two fighter guys who want to duke it out by spurting their inerds as ammo thru their spout tops at each other. Charlie reminds me of Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes more every day... However I nearly cried to see my pricey stuff going down the drain. Time to start buying cheaper haircare products.
4/21
"Caw caw. Roar!!" ~Chandler (from Up!)
4/16
Chance puts on his Buzz Lightyear goggles and says "Mom, I Hans Solo Skywalker!"

"If you sat on the sun, your butt would catch on fire." ~Chance
3/11

3/11
"I funny funny!" ~Chandler
3/9
"I tooted. My toots are stinky. Actually, they are not my favorite smell." -Chance
3/8
Last night as I put Chandler to bed, he said "Mommy, hug!". As I gave him a hug he said, "Mommy heavy!"
3/5
Watching Chuck teach the boys how to bake a cake is off the charts for romantic appeal. I am blessed. :)
3/5
"I only like boy colors." ~Chance
3/1
He's unfolded laundry, pulled things off counters, stripped himself of clothes and diaper, told me "No!" about a 100 times - all since he woke up 2 hours ago. Yep, He's TWO!!! Happy Birthday, Chandler!!!
2/25
"Mommy, when you burp you should like a boy." ~Chance
2/24
"I caught a snowflake on my tongue, so I ate it." ~Charlie (yesterday)
2/24
If one answers affirmatively to the Mommy's suggestion, then one has just compromised independance. Instead, one should answer negatively, wait a moment to see if the Mommy backlashes, then insist on having the Mommy's suggestion anyway. Thus, one has not rebelled, but has proven one's right to have it one's way. (~Chandler)
2/22
It is "the worsest day ever!!" when your brother claims your lego ship as his own and even modifies it. That's when you have the right to claim "I never get what I want!" (~Charlie)
2/22
Everytime Chandler gets out of my view, he takes off his diaper and throws it in the trash. Lil stinker!
2/12
"It's reawwy cold outside so the ants and the snakes need their jackets." ~Chance
2/8
"My tummy's not hungry yet because it wants to watch me play." ~Chance
2/5
Wii Sports Resort is a hit, as is glow-stick pillow fight in the dark. Now 4 lil boys (2 are mine) are sacked out, watching "Cloudy with a chance of Meatballs." Pretty sure they won't last thru the movie... Gah, it's so fun being a mom!
2/5
as I put Chandler down for a nap, he sang me a song that I could recognize for the first time (and his hand motions helped)...he sang "This Little Light of Mine. " Lil heart melter. :)
2/5
Went up to Charlie's school for lunch, and got to hear his classmate sing "happy birthday" in Arabic. So cool.
2/4
is gearing up for Charlie's 6th birthday tomorrow. This is definitely one of the perks of being a mom. :)
2/4
"I can't do this with y'all talking. I need peace and quiet. *sigh* Now I have to start all over." ~Charlie (yikes, that sounds a lot like someone I know...)
