This and that

I guess I haven't posted in awhile. This was the annual sleeping by the tree on the Epiphany that the boys look forward to for months!

Jacob was getting more cereal and I made the comment that I didn't think that stuff was good for him and there probably wasn't anything in it except sugar. He, rather defensively, stated "No! There's corn syrup in it, too."

Jacob: "I think I'm growing a beard!"

We were listening to a history audiobook and they were talking about Mary, Queen of Scotts.
Me: "I missed that last part. How did she die?"
Timmy: "They put something over her and blocked her mouth and everything so she couldn't get any air."
Me: "They suffocated her?!"
He gave me a blank look so I backed it up and listened to it. They told how she was often sick "and died without an heir".

Timmy: "Mom, did you know that back in the olden days, some girls liked to be pretty?"

Mike: "It sure is getting early!"

Jacob: "My brain doesn't know I woke up yet. It's still sleeping."

Mike: "I do not like that bacon candy!" (twizzlers)

"Can you draw all 6 of us?"
Dave: "No. I can't draw you."
"Why not?"
Dave: "I don't know how to draw your hair."

Mike was picking out his shirt to wear for Mass. He decided he wanted the red shirt so that Father would know to not give him Holy Communion and he wouldn't need to cross his arms when he went up.

Dave showed me a hickory nut that had a little spot of purple on it. I asked him how that got on there and he said "Ummm maybe a purple squirrel painted his foot and then stepped on it"

Jacob was sick and told me that his head hurt.
Me: "Is it all pressurized, like someone's squeezing it?"
Jacob: "No, it feels like there's an egg in it."
