Other random conversations

At Sunday school with daddy...

Teacher: "King Salomon was going to build a temple"
Boy (don't know which - need to ask daddy): "Why, was it broken?"
Then all the kids started asking, why was it broken... :)

After the Bella Terra concert, I decided to ask them what do they want to be when they grow up. I didn't explain anything, so after a while Nathan said "a driver" and Matthew agreed and said "A school bus driver and there won't be a jaguar there" =0. It's probably because I told them that only grown ups can drive (they always try). No idea where the jaguar part came from.

VBS

Nessa última semana os meninos foram pela primeira vez para VBS, de uma igreja aqui perto de casa. Foi meio por acaso. Estávamos visitando a pré escola daquela igreja e como tinha uma EBF, resolvi levar os meninos.

Eu fiquei com eles nos dois primeiros dias, mas depois dei uma saída pra ver se eles conseguiam ficar sem mim. Fui fazer grocery shopping, e disse pra eles quando a gente estava indo pra VBS. Apesar de eles falarem "mamãe, não vai!" eu fui mesmo assim. Quando eu voltei, eles falaram. Eu nem chorei! :)

O que mais eles fizeram lá foi brincar. A história assistiram mais ou menos, mas aprenderam as músicas. Na hora do louvor o Nathan ia lá na frente e ficava dançando, na maior cara de pau! Eles gostaram bastante e começaram a participar mais ao passar da semana.

Pérola do Nathan: Na história, a professora disse: "Then Jesus died". Nathan: "Mamãe, por que Jesus mergulhou?" :D

Pictures of them playing:

Songs

Here are some of the songs the boys make up words for (probably because the others don't make sense to them"

"Mighty to save" - Jesus conquered the grape
"Row row row your boat" - Merry, merry, merry, merry, life is butter drink
"Hurry, hurry to the celebration - there's a party waiting to bacon (should be begin).

nose talk

The boys were playing with a small elephant (Nathan) and a small lion (Matthew). Here's the dialog
Matthew: Do you have a trunk nose?
Nate: Yeah
Matt: Why?
Nate: To get water and splash it. Do you have a trunk nose??
Matt: No, I have a stuffed nose

lol :)

Sensitive nose

Today Nathan asked me "who's smoking mommy? Smoking is bad, right?". We recently had started telling them that smoking was bad and every time someone was smoking we would leave the place as soon as possible. He actually associated the smell with the fact and is now very aware of it.
When he was a baby he would cry whenever we were close to the perfume section in a department store. Yep, sensitive nose, like mommy :)

belly addiction

The boys love to touch (rub, pinch, etc) my belly a lot. I am not sure exactly where it came from, but they probably picked it up when I was nursing them. They would touch my tummy while I fed them.
I've tried to get them to stop, but it's going slowly. I think it's their security blanket (a blanket would have been much easier). They touch it before sleeping and when they don't see me for a long time (and are tired).

Today, in their nap, Matt was rubbing Nathan's belly :) cute, although in general there is no substitute for mommy's belly

Pizza for lunch

So *sometimes* I do have to give in to fast food... This Tuesday after school we went to Pizza Hut - the boys specifically asked for it.
It was a carry out place only, so I was planning to bring it back to eat at home. They didn't share the idea and wanted to eat in the car. Good thing, because they were knocked out when we got home. Some pics of them sleeping


Matthew eats all the cheese and the ham in his pizza - see the messy face


Nathan eats everything, as usual
