Boogers...got to put them somewhere

So...noticed over the weekend that Sawyer's belly button is looking red and irritated. As we start cleaning it out and trying to get to the bottom of the situation, he divulges that he's been putting his boogers in there. Good heavens. Why?!?! I'm just going to have to say it, WTF?

In the less-gross Sawyer funnies...he invited me to come watch Starburst with the boys in the living room tonight. The rest of us call it Star Wars.

Energy solution?

Ridge and I were reading the Chick Fil A giveaway book "Earth" this afternoon. When we got to the part about the Earth's natural resources, he says to me, "mama, did you know there's another kind of oil that doesn't come from the Earth?" (Eureka! My five year old has a solution to the nation's fossil fuel supply and demand imbalance!)
Me: Oh yeah, what's that?
Ridge (totally dead pan, serious): It's Oil of Olay.

Tough out there

Sat down at the dinner table tonight and gave our thanks to God for the grub. Sawyer concluded the blessing with his usual, enthusiastic "yeamen!" Then he leaned back, pointed out the window behind him and said, "tough day out there."

My brain told me

So...Ridge and I were discussing T-ball on the way home. Tere's going to coach his team this spring. Ridge launches into this whole discussion of how they'll need back up coaches, other than his and Luke's dad, in case one of them gets sick and has to take the day off. What 5 year old thinks of this stuff? So I asked him what made him think to cover that base (pun intended) and he says, "my brain told me to think of it."

Duh!

Spicy Hair

Sawyer told me this morning, as he has before, that "Daddy made me spicy hair." It makes him happy. His super fine hair has no chance of being spikey, but getting goop in it seems to bring about some pride in his appearence. Cutie. They survived the first day back to school after a 2 week + 1 day break, which was super fun for us all.
