Dinner Party
Noah and Maddie came home and started up a dance party. Joseph joined in. They asked Noah what they could do after the dance party and he said, “a dinner party” meaning, dinner. They took it to mean something way more exciting. I was handed a note at dinner that they requested I stand up and read dramatically…
After dinner came the party, where we were required to play Pin the Tail on the Minecraft Horse, and were each given 4 tails. Noah won, although it was a little hard to tell. Then, bedtime.
Do these guys know how to dinner party or what?
Big Brother
M: Mom, you know what the only thing I think about every day is? (No, what?) Joseph. I think about him every minute.
Big Discovery
Maddie: Mom! I just discovered something. When you are far away from something, it’s smaller. But when you get closer — it get bigger!
Cutie (but not patootie)
Maddie, how did you get so cute?
I stopped saying potty words.
Muscle Man
“Check out my muscles!”
“Oooh! Strong!”
“It helps if you have deep armpits.”
Joseph Writes: Haikus
Ocean Haikus by Joseph
Boats float in water.
Fish swim under the ocean.
Kids play on the beach.
Shark eat other fish.
Birds fly over the ocean.
People get sunburned.
Christmas Haikus by Joseph
Decorate the tree.
Hang lights so Santa can see.
Presents under the tree.
Lights are bright.
Santa’s coming soon.
Put out the cookies and milk.
Little Sister Forces
Maddie walked up behind Joseph and startled him–he’s rather jumpy so this isn’t actually too hard to do. “Mads! How did you do that? I mean, just walk up and surprise me like that?” He was a bit flabbergasted. I’m not certain Maddie even knew what she did, but he got a bang out of it and to me he says, “I know how she did it–she’s using her Little Sister Forces on me, that’s how.” He walks away. “Little. Sister. Forces,” he says again, laughing and shaking his head.
Cold Isolation
Joseph: I heard this story about a guy in isolation. One guy was in isolation for 50 years! He couldn’t even talk. Then another guy, he was on a street corner, isolated, but his doctors were near by to make sure he didn’t get hurt. He wanted to get attention. He was a magician.
Noah: In ice.
Joseph: Yeah. In ice. Iceolation.
Phone Book
Noah: They have this shredder at work called the Data-stroyer. It can shred anything. Supposedly, it can shred a phone book.
Joseph: A phone book, really?!
Noah: Yeah, it basically takes a phone book, turns it to dust.
Joseph: Wow, a whole phone book!
Maddie: What’s a phone book?
UPS is Coming to Town
Noah: Joseph, I heard a report from Dulles airport, and turns out the weather is going to be bad and Santa may not be able to make it through.
Joseph: No… really?
Noah: Maybe Santa can get UPS to deliver the presents.
Joseph: “Ho Ho Ho! Here ya go!”
