Sometimes I sit down and relax and listen to my children play gleefully upstairs. They laugh, they chase, they stomp, someone usually starts crying and then there’s the MISCHIEF. The following is a list of things you don’t want to hear your kids say, but have indeed been uttered by my own children this Summer:
1.) Ew! There’s POOP in it!!
2.) You ATE it!?!
3.) Mom said not to do that!!
4.) Sorry Mom…
5.) Wait! You guys stop, help me find my tooth…
6.) Moooommm?? You’re gonna wanna see this….
7.) *crickets*
8.) Do I have a rug burn on my face?
9.) child 1: How did you get BUBBLES in the bath!?!
child 2: I used Mommy’s shampoo!
10.) Stop!! YOU’RE PULLING MY HEAD OFF!
11.) Mom? Can I draw on my wall???
12.) Are you scared? Just stay still….
13.) Quick, emergency dismount!
Shockingly, no bones have been broken this summer…although the missing tooth never was found.

If it makes you feel any better, a number of these have been uttered by my offspring too. Especially the first one. Because, you know, stubborn semi-potty-trained preschooler who refuses to crap in the toilet…

I’m surprised there wasn’t more poop and blood involved to be honest.
Also. Love the chalk photos. =)

I missed out on hearing some of these when my boys were growing up. My first two boys are four and a half years apart and the older brother was so easy going, he let his pesky younger brother do anything; and my youngest came alone 17 years after my middle son, so no sibling rivalry or rough play with them either. By reading the posts of you younger moms, I’m realizing how much “fun” I missed.

Ha ha ha. Makes me soooo glad my kids were in camp most of the summer (with me working there) so that these utterings were kept to a minimum these past few weeks we’ve been home!!! :)

Those are awesome! It always makes me a little nervous to listen to my kids from another room. Just this morning, my daughter was telling my son she would help him have a broken leg just like her. Neither of them have a broken leg. Good times! Those pictures are very cool, by the way. Makes me want to go find some sidewalk chalk!

Oh how funny! I don’t have the pleasure of hearing these with one…although sometimes when she’s playing, we hear things that make us wonder what the heck she is playing! Quite the imagination.

Now I want to draw an apple tree in the driveway.
I hate the “nun-unh”, “unh-huh”, back and forth forever and always.

#7 always TERRIFIED me. #12 is frighteningly hilarious.
I love the pics!

I always get a little panicky over hearing crickets. What are they doing in there, exactly?
Love the photos!
