So did I tell you guys about Monday, when I went to pick up DS4 from preschool? It went like this (this is an excerpt of an email I sent to DH):

I just picked DS4 up from preschool. As usual, he leapt into my arms when he saw me. As we walked to the truck, he waved and said goodbye to his classmates.

As I buckled him in, I began asking about his day. He said he had a good day. I asked who he played with, and he said, "D(boy)... R(girl)... and S(girl). K(the boy he was having problems with) was chasing us, but we got away."

"Ohhhhh. Is K being nice to you now?" I was hoping the chasing was playful fun on the playground.

"No! He is not being nice. I want a lizard."
"So K~ What? You want... you want a lizard???"
"Yes. I want a lizard and then he will have big teeth and he will wun weally fast. And den I will get Daddy's guns and shoot him and he will go [explosion sound]."

Oh dear. Maybe a little too much Discovery channel last night. That long dinosaur show was pretty grisly, but the kids were fascinated. Blech!

"Honey, that would be yucky. You can't have a lizard and then blow it up."
"OK, den howdabout a penguin? I weally like penguins! We could put it in a cage, dat would be so cool!"
"No, honey, you cannot have a penguin."
"Ohhhhhhh, Mama..."

So we arrive home, and DS says he didn't eat all his lunch. He knows it's naptime as soon as he gets home, so he asks if he can finish his lunch. I see there are a few grapes left in his lunchbox, and tell him, "Yes, you can finish your lunch, go wash your hands first."

"Wash my hands? Mama, did you know I touch da big snake? Did you know I touch da long, white snake? How did you know dat???" He laughed and skipped off to the bathroom.

"What? You touched a snake?" Ugh. Did the Reptile Man visit the preschool today???

So today we got a school newsletter. And why YES, the Reptile Man did visit the school on Monday!

Oh I didnt see pix's post until Alison quoted it.

I piggybacked off of Alison. Didnt want 18 threads out there spreading this out longer. Trust me I feel like kicking myself. Thank God its over.

Yeah, I was glad when Mary Jo locked the thread. I was worried that it was going to sort of spiral out of control again. I guess if there's one thing I've learned in life....if you screw up (as I often do), aplogize, admit you screwed up, then go on. Most people are pretty forgiving and can understand.

 

[Alex2kMommy]

It's okay, burgers are yummy!

Yeah, I'd just never eaten a two pound brick before.

 

[funnygarcia]

meatloaf? Rarely make it, not a fan favorite in our house except hubby and I.. though Justin is at the age where he would likley eat it.

My problem is I buy big rolls of ground beef and chunk it out into the freezer in smaller packages. Frozen solid hunk of meat does not work well into meatloaf.


hmm, I can't remember the last time I bought any ground beef-- I guess I should though hubby needs the protein and iron, chicken is not quite enough to bump his lab values. He's just at the required level for Albumin in his labs.. but it had slipped from the months before.

I could have him eat more eggs... but oooooooooooooo not always a good idea. stiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnkkkkkkkkkkkyyyy

Oh BOY. reptile man. THATS creepy.

Alex got to play with maggots at school today. No.. Not maggots. What the hell were they? Grubs? MEALWORMS. I think. They will turn into beetles. I think. I dont know. His teacher said insects.. and I started to space... lalalalalalalalalalala.

I was happy too. No sense over talking about it. Lock it down and move on.

Yeah, DS' class will work with beetles and crawdads! Cool!
I thought they did mealworms last year...? Since he has the split class (the other half is 2nd graders), their earth science lab will be "insects", didn't specify. I bet it's mealworms.

DD: Huh?
DS: Fine.

Me: What classes did you have today?
DD: Huh?

Me: Tell me one thing about your day today guys?
DD: Huh?
DS: Fine.

Me: (Raising my voice) Does anybody in this house ever listen to me:
DD: Fine.
DS: Huh?

DH: Would you guys please pay attention to your mother and answer her questions?
DD: Sure Dad! Oh I'm sorry Mom, can I have $80 for a yearbook tomorrow?
DS: Sorry Dad! Oh Mom, I promised the teacher you would bake 5 homemade pumpkin pies for our Thanksgiving Feast tomorrow.

Does "homemade" mean running to Marie Calander's or the nearest Costco or market?

It does in my house.
