The lone boy

Owen just came to me and said,

"You know the two girls in the house?"

Hmmm... let me see. Yep, I know them. Gave birth to them. I've seen them around.

"They made a mess in my room, and they won't clean it up".

He is highly concerned about the state of the house now that Santa will be coming soon. One night he went to bed and looked around and told me I'd better clean the place up. I'm working on it. I'm working on it.....

Oh, these kids are funny.

Phoebe stays with my Mom while I work. Today she was telling me about a craft she made with Nana. I said it sounded like fun. She said, "It was. You should drop by sometime."




Yesterday evening dinner was pretty loud and crazy. Finally, Chloe and Owen left the table. Phoebe was hopping down from her chair, and she shook her head and said, "Those kids. I swear."

Owen made an ornament at school today. It had a very long string around it. I thought he made me a necklace, so I put it on as soon as he showed it to me from his backpack. He said "Actually, that gets put on the tree". I also messed up when I asked him if it was a mosaic, because it had small red, green, and white squares glued on it. He then said, "What's a mosaic?"

I can't think of any recent funnies from Chloe, although a little while ago, for some reason, I was thinking about her right before Owen was born. We told her we were naming him Owen Daniel. She thought about it for a second and asked, "What will his last name be?".
