Campout

Mom: Did you boys have fun sleeping in the tent last night? Drew: Yes! Luke: Yes, but it would have been more fun if you weren't there.

When I'm dead

Drew: When I'm dead, I'm going to be a police officer.

Luke: Drew, you can't be a police officer when you're dead, you'll be an angel in heaven.

Drew: No, I'm going to be a police officer.

Mom: Drew, do you mean that when you grow up, you want to be a police officer?

Drew: No, Mom. When I'm dead, I'm going to be a police officer.

Luke: You can't Drew, you'll be dead. You'll be an angel.

Drew: No, a police officer.

Mommy's belly

Drew (as he pushes on my stomach): "Mom, what is this?"

Mom: "My belly"

Drew: "Wow, you ate a lot of food!"

Sharing

Luke had a substitute teacher at school today.

When we got home, he opened his lunch and gave Drew a gummy bear.

When I asked where he got it from, he said his substitute teacher gave it to him - he said she gave him two, he ate one and saved the other one for Drew!

Bedtime prayers

Once the kids are all ready for bed, they hop into bed and it's usually dad who says the bedtime prayer. On occasion, Luke likes to say a small prayer - usually thanking God for making the grass and trees, etc. Most nights Drew will say our mealtime prayer.

Tonight, Mark was not home. Luke asked if I was going to say the prayer. I said, "Sure, but do you want to say anything yourself?" "Sure", he said.

Drew went first. He said his mealtime prayer, as per usual.

Then it was Luke's turn. He thanked God for the grass, the trees and a few other things and then thanked God for making Kindergarten.

Drew then pulled the blankets over his head and added to his prayer, "Thank you God for making Kindergarten, but I really miss Luke."

I'll miss you

For the first time on Monday, I took Drew with me to take Luke to Kindergarten. I'm not sure he really knew what was going on. He knew Luke was starting school and was excited for him, but he just stood with me the whole time as Luke played with his friend.

Today, same thing. However, when it was time for Luke to head into his class room, Drew kept saying, "Luke, I'll miss you." "I'll miss you Luke." Luke was not hearing him, so I let Drew go into the classroom to share his sentiments; Luke put on a big smile and said, "I'll miss you too Drew."

Bathroom talk

As I'm sitting on the toilet...

Drew: "Mom, are you holding your penis?"
Mom: "No Drew, mommy doesn't have a penis. Only boys have penis'"
Drew: "Can I see?"
Mom: "No. Go see your dad."
