Daddy's Making China!

Yesterday when I talked to my son he said; "Daddy's making China!" I had to laugh! I thought of China the Contintent, not China the dish. He was actually saying he wanted Chinese. Silly boy!

Today when he asked; "How many of the same things do you have on your phone?" I had to think for a minute. Shazam and Facebook are both light blue. So, everytime I Shazam a song, or go to Facebook, my son was thinking, are you just doing the same thing over again?

While I was on Facebook and he asked what I was doing, I said; "I'm on Facebook." He replied;
"I like SPACEBOOK!" Hilarious!

A commercial came on in the car today. He said, "I want singing!" I wonder where he learned that?
I really don't prefer talking on the radio unless it's something that is uplifting or intriguing to me! I love my son!

"Mommy I want that store! The yellow and red one!" I can't see it honey I'm driving.
"I want to go to the store with the Jingle Bells on it!" The Jingle Bells are in the song, they are instruments, it is not a place.
"I want to see the instruments!"
Well, you are going to hear me sing and there will be Jingle Bells and other instruments playing on Saturday!
"But, I want to sing with you!"
I love you honey, I don't think you know the words dear.

I love how much like me he is at times!

Yesterday;

Can I play Mario? I love you so much Daddy!? PWEAAAASE? PWEAASE?
Can I play Zelda? You are the best Daddy in the whole wide world!!!!!! PWEAAAASE?
Daddy (on both occasions) No, I don't think so.
Whining and crying ensues. I love how my son thinks he can get anything when he tries to manipulate us.
It doesn't work kid. He'll get it sometime!!!!

Hope you all had a great Holiday! We are in the Christmas mood in our home!
If anyone knows where to find a cute advent Calendar PRONTO I'd love to know!

Our Savior

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I'm thankful for hot cocoa and for my son and the silly things he does. He said 2 days ago; "Jesus made us" & "Jesus keeps us safe from the sharks!" I have an adventurous child!
I was explaining to him that Christmas is coming soon and even though it wasn't Thanksgiving yet, that Christmas is when we celebrate (are happy) because we remember when Jesus was born. And lived on the earth. I told him, "Jesus, was born as a baby, just like you were! Well, sort of." I didn't know how to explain miraculous conception to a 3 year old. He replied; "Jesus was a baby like me!" 
Mommy; "You are not a baby anymore, you are a big boy! Did you know Jesus's Father is our Heavenly Father? He had a Mommy and Daddy on earth just like you, but, his literal and spiritual Father lives in Heaven." Jesus helped his Father make the Earth and he made us."
While, we were driving someone cut me off and I said, Mommy needs to turn the radio off so mommy can keep us all safe.
Christopher; "Is it Dangerous?" Mommy; "Yes."
Christopher; "Jesus keeps us safe!"
I am updating my family blog today too. So, if you'd like to read it go here;www.merkleyadventures.blogspot.com

November

I am in school and as you may have guessed the end of the term is nearing.
Therefore, I am uncommonly busy and want to go on vacation because my brain is tired.
I interviewed for a job and well, let's just say I'd be losing more than I was making, and I was never called back when I was told I would be. So, I'm really better off. But, I'm feeling the pressure of this time of year for sure. Anyhow, I wanted to share with you some of my son's adorable quotes and pictures.

                              Dirt Cupcake with earthworm. "I want that one!" At One Sweet Slice yesterday

                                      Daddy time for a little right after nap today, he's watching Mario on the D.S.

A Box and a Boy, why do we buy him toys again?

                                              Eating Noodles at Pei Wei with Chopsticks!

                                                        Swording with a stick in the snow!

                                                             Daytime Daddy/Son Time

                                                        Swording with his stick outside!

"Oh no! It's terrible! He doesn't have anything to get the monsters with!"

"I can FLY!" He jumps off the couch multiple times and falls on his hands and knees.

"That's so cool! Is that cool?"

"I want to break..." He says he wants to break various things when he is angry.

"Oh no! There are no more crackers! I need more crackers! OOOOOH:(!"

"Bad behavior! I'm being bad behavior!" He actually was being naughty. Insightful this one, and very observant.

To our waiter at Olive Garden;
"What's your name?" John.
"Do you live at Olive Garden?" Practically!
Mommy: He doesn't live here he just works here a lot.

"You are Mommy, but sometimes I call you Chelsea."

Mommy; You need to call me Mommy. You are the only one who can call me Mommy, besides Daddy.

"I can call you Chelsea sometimes." Oh dear it begins. I tried to set him straight and tell him what to call me but he wouldn't have it. So, I just let it go. Boys are hilarious.

"I call you Daddy, your name is Robert. I can call you Robert sometimes."

Daddy; You can call me Daddy.

"No, I can call you Robert sometimes."

"This is not flying, this is falling with style!" He exclaims as he jumps off the couch 3 times!

Happy Tuesday night!

Spiderman sprays ropes?

Mommy; “We are going home because it is time for night night. Mommy and daddy need to get ready for bed too.  

Christopher:“I’m going to spray ropes at you like Spiderman!” 

Mommy replies: "Spiderman has webs come out of his hands honey, he is part spider."

I say to Robert; “You have to give him points for imagination on that one! He’s going to spray ropes at us so he doesn’t have to go to sleep!”

Daddy: I’m going to tell you a Jake the Pirate story.

Christopher: “No, no, no the yellow Curious George shirt that matches your shirt!” It actually did match his Daddy’s shirt!

Daddy: Time to get out of the tub! 

Christopher: "I want to stay in here for a couple of days!" 

Have a great Thursday!

I have job interview tomorrow! Wish me luck.

First Snowfall!

Today was the First Snowfall of the Season that stuck to the ground! I was so excited this morning I took some adorable pictures of my son and the snow!

                                                  November 5, 2011; snowfall from last night

                             He couldn't wait to go outside, I had to hurry and get his winter clothes on him after this!

                                    He wanted to wear my scarf! "Look Mommy me's making prints' in the snow!"

                                             We wanted to get him gloves yesterday they were all too big.

                                                 " Look, Snow!" "Mommy, you should try it, it's delicious!"
                                                   Sweetie, we don't eat snow it's yucky, it's not to eat.
          Snow is to play with, ski, snowboard, make snowman with or snow igloo's with or go snow shoeing in. Snow is not to eat. "Try it Mommy! It's delicious!" I audibly laugh in his general direction.

                          "Is this from my prints', Daddy's Prints' or Mommy's Prints'?" It's from my Snowprints'!

       "Me's making Snow Prints' and these are Daddy's Snowprints' and these are Mommy's Snowprints'!"

                                                               "I'm going to get you!"

                                                              I love his face here!

                                                         "Look Mom, I'm Ice Skating!"

                               "I'm snowskating WEEEE! This is my trail and this is your trail Mommy!"
                                      Mommy: Can I go on your trail? Christopher: "No, you go on your trail!"

                               "Snow skating, Snow Skating, Snow Skating!" "Me's making a line in the snow!"


As we were riding TRAX on Wednesday I said; "Christopher please be quieter not everyone wants to hear you talking the whole time, it's cute bet it get's old." Christopher replies; "I am getting old!" 
And I giggle along with half of the train, I love my son!


November 4, 2011 Christopherism's:


 "I'm Grandma Cheryl's grandson! And me's 3!" " I'm Daddy's 3 year old and Mommy's too!" "Daddy is 3. Too!" "I want to dance when me's a Daddy!" "When me's a Daddy me can dance!" "Grandma got me Bob the Builder Jammies!"- Christopher


"I like this Chili! I ate the whole thing like you & Daddy!"- Christopher. He did eat it all! I will be making this again!


"Hi Grandma Cheryl, I'm being naughty!"- Christopher

Halloween Update!

To see different pictures than this blog; please see my other website-http://www.merkleyadventures.blogspot.com/

Today I can't really think of much that he said. He had a huge tantrum and it was one of those hard days.
It snowed today and Christopher and I both wore our boots and coats. It sleeted this morning and snowed small hail-like snow this evening. The weather was so nice last night for Halloween and the next day it's freezing!

We went to the Market today to get some essential foods. I was amazed that the day after Halloween it's already Christmas at Smith's in West Jordan, and most Retail Stores. What about Thanksgiving? It's one of my Favorite Holidays.

I hope all of you had a safe and Happy Halloween yesterday! And make sure you check your kids candy bags so they don't come up with some creepily dangerous items!
Here are some pictures from my phone from Halloween last night.

                                                    I was Maid Marian or a Medieval Princess

                                                             Robert was Robin Hood

                                                            Christopher was Superman!

                                                             His glow stick is his sword

                                                              I am swording you!

                                                   Yummy Apple, trick or treat find!

                                                             My sweet Superman!

                                                       Making Music with his straw!

                                                                          Cheese!

                                                                 Look at all that candy!

                                                       I made these Jack-o-Lantern's
