Farts

While saying prayers one of the boys rips off a fart. After the prayer I told him that was unacceptable. He said he couldn't help it, and I told him I know he can control it. Oh my... maybe I was better to just let it go. I them got a full report of how boys cannot hold their farts, and the best ways to "release" them in school. If you stick your butt off the back of your chair and release before too much pressure builds up, you can release it slow enough that you cannot hear it. But if you don't get it off far enough them you just create a microphone type effect and it's loud. Also, you never want to roll onto your hip because then it does the same thing. Cael says he just runs into the hall as soon as he feels it coming like he's going to the bathroom. And then comes right back in and no one even knows or smells. I was just setting there in amazement as all 4 school boys were rattling off all their fart tricks. Girls (at least me) just did EVERYTHING possible to hold it in until I was alone. Who knew that boys have all kinds of tricks up their sleeves. What weirdos!!!

Mom!!!

I cleaned the babies room the other day. I picked up all the legos and put them into a bag and put them into the boys nightstand between their beds. Cael comes out that night with the bag in his hand and a disgusted look on his face and says, "MOM!!! You put these in my room right next to my bed. That's like them saying 'Just play with me. Get in trouble. Play with me.' You cannot do this mom and think that I can not play with them!!!" He just looked at me like I was the stupidest mom in the world. I asked him what would be a better solution, and he decided in my room in my nightstand where he could not hear them saying, "Play with me. Get in trouble" It took all I had to look at him normal. His face was hilarious!!! I love that rat! At least he knows his limits, and knows that legos are the devils toy. They encourage you to do bad things, and they encourage mom to say bad words when she steps on them!

Are you a Democrat?

Last night while watching a family movie, someone on the movie asked someone else, "Are you a democrat?" My boys were asking me what that meant. I was a senior in high school when a teacher asked the class that. I had NO idea what he was talking about. He told me there was no doubt in his mind what I was, but he would give us a quiz and let us decide based on the issues. That was what I did. I found a website that was D vs R. For family night, each boy got a piece of paper and pencil. Then I said, "write a one if you believe this (democratic view) and 2 if you believe this (republican view)." The whole time Carson was saying, "That is so stupid. Who would ever believe that! What! Women can kill babies in their bellies! Some lazy guy could live just like me if I work my butt off! Why should the government get to set prices, why not let people pay what they think is fair!" It was sooooooo funny. At one point I looked at Chet and said, "He is so a little Kimber!" We are both pretty hard core Republicans. Carson had 10/13 points of view Rep. Carter 9/13. Caden 11/13. Cael 9/13. I guess when you grow up with 2 pretty hard core Rep, you are destined to create some pretty hard core Rep boys. It was funny to hear their point of views on things. They were baffled that others live a certain way, very different from us. What I thought was very interesting too, I heard a couple of articles of faith repeated. As they thought about putting a 1 or 2, they would recite an article of faith and that gave them their answer. I sure do love seeing my boys grow and learn. We want to start teaching them the "issues" of the elections, both national and local.
