Hey Mariella, who do you want to be the next president?
..."Barack Obama"....
Hey Ryan, who do you want to be the next president?
..."Spongebob Squarepants!"...
Mariella: "Mommy, why is Bush such a bad president? What did he do?"... (long conversation follows)...
Ryan interjects..."you know why he is so bad? He is going to destroy this town and run us out!"
Mariella asks Ryan what he wants to be when he grows up..."nothing Mariella"..."well Ryan, I am going to be a veterinarian working in a hospital, do you want to do that with me?"..."sure"... "or Ryan, you could be president!"...."NO WAY," says Ryan!

Nite nite
I had a headband on that was reversible and the side showing was a white background with small black polka dots. I took it off and Mariella turned it inside out and looked at the black side with white polka dots and said, "Look Ma, it's nocturnal".......... Her lights are on baby!

I got Shotgun
Thank you for the emails requesting more funnies! So here is a short list from this week.
The other night I was restless and I went to sleep with Ryan in his new big boy bed (a twin whoohoo) and I told him the next day that I was in his bed for a little while and he said "show me how you were sleeping" and I did. So he said "Well you're gonna have to do it again tonight, I gotta see this!"
I was tending to Ryan's very dry/cracked lips and I said to Joe "I have to find a way to get rid of this" and Mariella says, "Why don't you go on how-to-heal-lips.com" !!!
Ryan was painting and I said "Oh be careful, you're leaning into the paint and it's getting on your shirt" and he responed with, "Mommy I wouldn't be an artist if I didn't get dirty!"
Ryan was starting in with Mariella and she said (in an English accent) "Girls don't start fights" It was a quote from the Aristocats!
Joe had a caulk gun out and Ryan saw it and his eyes bugged out an he said, full of expression, "Daddy, What is THIS? This is the BEST tool you EVER had!" (Ryan loves lots of tools, trust me!)
Mariella is doing so well reading, she breezes through level 1 and 2 books now and we are so proud. The other day the kids were upstairs playing and they ended up on Mariella's bed and she was reading to Ryan. It continued for about 15minutes and I just sat listening with a little bit of tears!
On the flip side, when I am writing emails, she is next to me reading them saying "why are you writing_______" HA HA.
The other day we were in the car and Ryan said "that's it, I'm gonna drive the car and Mariella, you are gonna sit next to me and turn on the music" What's that Ryan, Mariella's Shotgun?!?!

Must Hide a Key!
Today was the first time I locked myself out of the house and we do not have a hide-a-key! The worst part is that I was leaving to pick up the kids from preschool and didn't even have my car keys. I panicked then called Joe, the school, Erinn and mom!
Joe rushed over, good thing he was on a bridge that was only 15 minutes away, let me in, while he snickered, and then I was off to pick up the kids...
I got to the school and Erinn had the kids in her car having fun :) When Mariella heard why I didn't show up, she said "I can't believe Mommy did that!" I know Mariella will not let me live this down!!
When we got home, I asked her how she felt about what happened and she said "it was exasperating!" Then she proceeded to tell me, while spreading her peanut butter on her sandwich, "you know, SpongeBob keeps a key under his front door mat in case he gets locked out, I think you should do that!" Out of the mouths of babes. Ryan on the other hand said, "I didn't mind it at all!"
Make a long story short...here's a link Rob sent to me (a mere two hours after the fact) explaining that my birthday is coming up soon... http://www.smarthome.com/81001pl.html?src=WG1010386&gclid=CMKazqqL9JECFSK9FQodIltmwQ

Food, Family & Fun
Froot Loops on sale at ShopRite...so I buy a box, what the heck! Mariella decided that they are too sweet and doesn't know why Ryan likes them! We get into an engaging conversation about what foods she likes that he doesn't and vice versa--Mariella loves ham, Ryan loves liverworst, Mariella loves ice cream, Ryan loves Swiss rolls. I add how I always used to like american cheese and Uncle Rob always liked swiss. Mariella says "well it's great that everyone is different. If everyone in the world were all the same we'd be boring and no one would know who we are."
Ryan was playing baseball with Mariella on Playstation and she was pitching and he was batting. All of a sudden he shouts out "This one's for my family!" and swings !!
Mariella's been emailing back and forth with grandma, reading and typing her own messages. She said the other day "Ugh, why don't they just put these letters (on the keyboard) in alphabetical order so kids know where the letters are!"
At picnic night on Friday night, the kids were excited to try Kid Cuisine--they saw it advertised on tv. As they were eating, Ryan said "Mommy, they should make Grown up Cuisine so you could eat it too!"
p.s. we watched the Little Rascals for picnic night, the old school black and white ones, a real throwback and the kids loved it. :)

The Observer
The kids and I were eating at the pizzeria the other day where lot of high school kids came in to eat. After a while, we got up to leave and Ryan looked over at a table full of girls and said loudly, "Mommy, those girls look like the BRATZ" !! sooo funny, they really did...hair all done up, make up, real fashionistas!!
Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
I love.
I love who?
I don't know, you tell me!

Toot toot!
This morning, I was walking the kids out to the truck and the garbage truck was going down the block so Mariella waved at them. The driver waved back and tooted his horn at her. She giggled and when she got in the car, she had a little smirk and said, "I think he thinks I'm marrying him! But he doesn't know I'm marrying Brad Paisley, he's a cowboy." So I start to just about pee in my pants and Ryan says, "He's not a cowboy, he's a cowgirl. Only I'm a cowboy!" I laughed so hard and it was a great way to start the day!
Mariella better get used to those little toots! Funny how she just gets it! And Mr. Ryan is the man!!
Happy Thursday!
