The Fantasia Family: {neglected}

10.27.2008

{neglected}

I know, I know. Everyone keeps harassing me for letting the blog go so much lately, but I swear I have a good excuse. A couple, actually. One is that Hurricane Ike has left us sleeping on our living room so I haven't wanted to have any photo evidence of our bed on the floor. The other is that I can be found laying in said "living room bed" most of my time with the boys frolicking around me and little desire to take photos in between puking. So there. I feel okay today, so I thought I would post these pictures I took yesterday out of guilt.

Really, although cute, the boys' outfits were ridiculous by the end of church because it was no longer chilly outside. Thus, I took these pictures of my bundled boys in 80-degree weather. I promise it was so cold in the morning (probably 60 degrees or so). Cold for here, anyway.

for laughs...

8.23.2011 - As I leaned down to kiss Eli goodnight he puckered up and grabbed my face and started tilting his head from side to side, not letting go. Mom (after prying him off): "Eli? What on Earth was that?" Eli: "I was kissing you like a princess, Mommy."

7.30.2011 - At church the Primary teacher asked Eli, "what are some rules in your home?" Eli: "No biting!" Teacher: "That is a very good rule, why do you think that's a good rule?" Eli: "Because biting can hurt my teeth."

6.14.2011 - Dean: "I love you, Mom. You're always so pretty." Mom: "Thank you, Dean. I love you too." Dean: "But I love you even if you're not pretty." Mom: "Well, that's good. But which is it? I though you said I was always pretty." Dean: "You are. Except when you're in your pajamas... but I still love you."

4.25.2011 - Dean: "Mom, I need you to start writing down every funny thing I say and sending it to my friend Landon's house."

4.23.2011 - Eli: "I'm three and I love to slide but when I'm four I'm going to be scared of sliding, okay Mom?"

3.22.2011 - Dean: "Mom, I wish I was 26 instead of 4." Mom: "Why? Being 4 is awesome." Dean: "I know. But then I could be old like you." (Uh, gee. Thanks. Dare I tell him I'm 27?)

2.19.2011 - After an exhausting soccer game during which Dean's best bud Jordan apparently ran faster than him. Dean (with a little bit of annoyance in his voice): "Why are Jordan's shoes faster than mine?"

2.14.2011 - Mom: "Okay boys, you have to go to bed on time tonight so Mommy and Daddy can have a Valentine's date together." Dean: "That sounds fun. Can I come?" Mom: You wouldn't want to come. We're going to be boring." Dean: "Why? What are you going to do?" Mom: "We are just going to give each other lots of kisses." Dean: (After pondering for a minute and with a bashful smirk on his little face) "That's kinda gross... buuuut I guess that's okay."

1.12.2011 - Dean: "Can you have two husbands, Mom?" Mom: "Who else would you have me marry?" Dean: "Me. Does that mean that I have to give you my CTR ring for you to wear?" Mom: "Aw, that's so sweet, Dean. But you should keep your ring so you can always remember to choose the right." Dean: "Alright, then I'll get you one from the machines at Walmart. Those ones are WAY bigger than the one Dad got you!" (For the record, the one Dad got me is plenty big. But it sure doesn't have candy inside. The kid's got a point.)

11.25.10 - (As Dad keeps driving past gas stations on our Thanksgiving road trip.) Dean: "Mom, Dad keeps passing gas!"

9.22.10 - Mom: "Did you have fun playing at your friend's house today?" Eli: "Yeah, and I probably didn't bite David." Mom: "What? Did you bite David?" Eli: "Probably."

10.15.09 - Dean: "Mom, help. My nose is walking." Mom: "Don't you mean running?" Dean: "No. It's not going that fast."

10.1.09 - (As Dad caught Dean pestering a bug.) Dean: "Don't worry, Dad. This bug will be dead in twenty minutes."

9.19.09 - Mom: "Sometimes people get cranky when they feel sick." Dean: "Oh, then I think Daddy gets sick a lot."

7.17.09 - (When Mom had the flu.) Dad: "Mommy is puking." Dean: "Cool! Can I see?"

4.3.09 - Dean: "I like spiders because they have 'ape' legs."

2.19.09 - Mom: "Are you being a cowboy?" Dean: "No, I'm being a horse. But only boys can be horses, and girls can only be cows."

2.4.09 - (Dean with a Mr. potato head part stuck around his ankle.) Dean: "It's stuck! It's stuck! Please get it off me." Mom: "Oh no, Dean! I think it's stuck forever." Dean: (with a sob) "If you were Daddy you could do it."

1.29.2009 - Mom: "Dean, why are you naked?" Dean: "Because I just took all my clothes off."
