QOTD by B...

Me: "B, I don't think I saw your report card. I need to see your report card." B: "Mom, you do not want to see it." Me: "Why? What's it going to tell me?" B: "MOM, you DO NOT want to see it!" Me: "Why? What's it going to tell me? You were bad?" Shakes his head in agreement.

QOTD by A...

A: "Hey, mom, we should go to Great Wolf Lodge. See, it says where siblings become friends."

Good advice...

Trying to change our eating habits and discussing with Brian how much sugar are in different foods; specifically my MD, which is my drink of choice over anything including alcohol. He's searching the sugar in different drinks and comes across Mike's Hard Lemonade (my choice when I do have a drink). B: "There are 30 grams of sugar in a Mike's." Me: "Really, that's less than one can of my MD. Maybe I will start drinking alcohol instead of MD." B: "You should. You could drink almost three bottles of Mike's with not that much more sugar than what's in a 20 oz. bottle of MD. And, for an added bonus, you'd be able to tolerate the kids more." Lol.

Twin advice...

Note to anyone who has twin babies, may be having twins or if you ever have twins down the road... At some point in time you WILL need pictures of them separately, for a school project...like in third grade, which seems so far away, but all of a sudden they are in third grade and you are awake at 11:30 at night going through hundreds of pictures of them and you can't find any individual pictures. Did I think they were one person? Exasperated.

QOTD by C...

Watching Forensic Files with C. She is asking about the techniques they use. C: "Why do they do that?" Me: "It's amazing how they solve crimes. You can't get away with anything. Very few crimes go unsolved." C: "Well, if I were to rob some place, I would do it at night. I would wear all black, even black contacts. I would smash out the video cameras. I would wear a mask over my eyes. Me: "You know the video cameras can see you as you approach." C: "Well, I would throw something at them first and smash them from behind. Not that I'm going to rob someplace but if I were." Well, ok then. Kind of scary how much thought has been put into something she's not going to do.

QOTD by S...

QOTD by S who is currently sporting a hole in his face courtesy of C who hit him with the prong end of a large charging cord during a fight this morning~ Me: "S, help Dad get the treadmill downstairs." S: "Has everyone forgotten that I have a hole in my face?"

QOTD by S...

QOTD by S as we FINALLY take our Christmas tree down- "Next year I say we celebrate Hanukkah, it has to be easier to clean up than this."

QOTD by B...

QOTD by B who I had just told would have to wait for breakfast because I was putting a load of laundry in the washing machine~ "Why don't you be a parent for once?" His sister fed him. Kid is lucky I let her.

QOTD by A...

QOTD by A who wants to go with me EVERYWHERE I go. When I ask her to stay home while I drive her brother to a pasta party, she responds "some day I'm not going to want to go with you, so why wouldn't you want me to go while I still want to?" Kid is too smart for her own good. Also knows how to hit me where it hurts.

And another QOTD...

as I lied with Audrey and told her that I would stay in her room for a little bit because I wanted to clean it. A: "Well, at least my room is neater than the boys." Me: "Let's see when I get under your bed and see what you and Caroline have stuffed under there." A: "Well, it's cleaner than the boys if I neaten up my dolls, pick up all the stuffed animals that fell back there, make my bed and throw away all the junk that's under it." I would argue that their room is neater than the boys only because they've learned how to hide it better.

QOTD...

Maybe more appropriate would be GOTD (Giggle of the Day) by me asking Sean to clean up the basketballs for the 7th grade team and put them all in the appropriate bag. He, as is typical, went to the basement and proceeded to play hockey instead. Me: "Sean, I need you to give me some balls!" Patrick & Brendan (who are in the kitchen) and Sean (still in the basement) all proceed to giggle to themselves loudly.
