A few weeks ago Ethan said "Mom, we should get more credit for all your posts and pictures because we do everything and you just write about it." Fair enough, young man. I showed him some blogs so he could tell that they were all getting credit for everything they did. The thing is, sometimes I think they are going above and beyond what normal children do at times, just to give me a good story. Like I needed that.
I have included homework time into the schedule so they know the expectation is there. On this, their fifth day of school, they still don't really have homework yet so I'm giving them pages from those educational school curriculum books that I cannot help buying whenever I see them. Ocean has a math test on Friday so I had her doing some math stuff. She complained and whined and it was annoying. Then with a completely straight face she says "I can't wait until math grows up and solves its own problems." I smirk. I tweet. That was frickin' funny. "Are you tweeting that? Are you putting that on Facebook?" They know.

"Okay, back to homework." Aaron finishes up his snack and goes to put his spoon in the sink right at the exact moment (I guess) as Ocean is trying to lug the milk up to the counter - there's a collision. There's squealing. "He got right in front of me!" "She hit me with the milk!" "Guys come on!" I say exasperatedly. "Sometimes you have to keep your eyes open for others because you are not the only person in the world!" To which Ocean replies, "No, there's lots", to which Aaron adds "and some of them are blind." Oh my. I smirk again. I tweet again.
It is beginning to make it extremely difficult for me to not laugh at these guys. Sure they make me think my head will explode some days, but I can't be doing that bad of a job if they're going to have this kind of humour. It's just not possible.
