We were running a little late yesterday morning, and had to run some errands right after Ethan got on the bus. When Aidan and I got home after running errands, I realized the boys never put their bowls in the sink after breakfast. When I went to clear them off of the countertop, I noticed that Aidan hadn't finished his cereal, and there was a dead fly floating in the milk and stuck to a piece of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Should I be grossed out, or thankful that the cereal "caught" the elusive fly I have been unable to catch?
One of the errands was dropping off a couple of things at my husband's work. In the front office they have a beautiful bowl, filled to the top with condoms. As we walked by it toward Christian's office, Aidan asked, "Can I have some of those?" I said, "No bud." He asked, "Why not?" "Because they are for adults buddy." What a mean mom, not letting him have something that clearly looked like some kind of square shaped candy.
I made cream of broccoli soup for dinner last night. I think the healthiness of the broccoli cancels out the calories of the "cream of," don't you? Anyway, Ethan, my 5 year old, is never shy about saying how much he doesn't like what I have made for dinner. With this dinner, however, he ate an entire bowl and asked for a second one. When I poured more into his bowl and asked, "What do you say?" he said, "It's so yummy. You always make the best meals!" Can I get this quote framed and put it on my wall?

Aaaawwww....I think you should have let him have the condom--blown it up and said it was a balloon--he would hae been entertained ALL DAY!! (0;
I ALWAYS want to tape record, frame, whatever when my kids say they like my dinners--then I can pull it out the next time in case they decide they don't like it!!
I thought you were going to say that you went to the bathroom, left the cereal bowl there for another minute, then came back and Aiden was eating it. Now, that would be disgusting. Landen has come back to cereal after 2 hours before. EWWW.
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU MADE THIS FROM SCRATCH.. TELL ME NO..
IF SO DO SHARE.
That is too funny about the condom!! YOu made me laugh. Don't you just love when kids give you a compliment. I love it!!
Don't be grossed out by the fly...he deserved it, and it's easy enough to pour down the garbag disposall anyway.
Too funny about the condoms. Things like that always remind me this isn't BYU, even though a good portion of the students are LDS. :)
I hate fly season! Caleb tells me I'm the best chef whenever I make something he likes. Chef huh? Sounds pretty awesome. I always love it when kids like dinner and they eat enough to be full!
Can I get one of those framed quotes for myself? It would be nice to pretend that my family likes the meals I prepare. My 6 year old complains 99% of the time about what I make. He's already gone to bed extremely early once this week because he wouldn't eat dinner and he will probably have to again. He never learns that if he just eats, it makes me happy and he gets to do whatever he wants.
Where does your husband work? I need to get me a job there.
I think the "It's so yummy" comment is so cute. I think that's a great replacement for "please."
Yum, soup... It's finally feeling like Fall here in IA which means it's soup time:) Adam loves my black bean soup. If he smells it, he comes to see it and says while jumping up and down, "Is that black bean soup?!?! I love you mom!" Then he just about tackles me with a hug. Being a good cook may be hazardous to the well being of my body soon.
I was wondering the same thing. Where does he work? haha
This post made me hungry, the soup part not the condom part.
I TOTALLY think you should have let him have one and blown it up like a balloon! That would have been AWESOME! I mean, then you could have taken pictures and added to this post. :)
I'm totally making soup tonight. That sounds sooo good.
My husband works at a university counseling center. The condoms are offered for free to the students. I just wish they would put the bowl on a higher shelf, instead of at my 3 year old's eye level.
Rambling comments: Do you think they get the condoms for free? How many people do you think actually take some? That's alot of condoms.
They fill it pretty regularly. I, for one, have NEVER taken a condom from the bowl.
you should hang it on HIS wall...that way you can shame him everytime he complains.
Aw, give the boy the condom/balloon!
Kidding, of course, I'm kidding. Sorry, I have a very sick sense of humor...
I would have let my kids take handfuls of the condoms!!
just kidding
and I just made DIET brocolli soup last night -- lots of chicken broth and rotel, and a little velveeta!!
You sound like such a good mom! Making homeade dinners not letting your little boy have condoms! :D haha that is so funny! where does your husband work? Thank you for all your nice comments on my blog. You are so sweet, I hope that life is going wonderful for you:D Aren't blogs great, I love being able to catch up and see how everyone is doing. Hope your day is great!
I don't need the framed quote. I just need my kids to actually say that!
That is great when kids see things that you dont want to explain.
Glad he loved the soup
