Disney Marketing at its Best

So Dylan and Logan are in the bathroom brushing their teeth and we have several toothpaste choices including Thomas and Wall-E.

Dylan yells "Mommy, Logan wants to use "Wall-E Fun Facts" toothpaste. Is that okay?"

If any of you ever watch Playhouse Disney you know they always have ____ Fun Facts to promote an item. I don't think Dylan even knows it is a movie.

Moment of the Day

This beat the runner up moment of the day when Logan climbed over the back of the couch and went out on the tent roof (sheet over the couch and attached to the walls) only to find out that it wouldn't hold him up.

Me: "Come downstairs and get your shorts one so we can go to HEB."
Dylan: "I want to wear my undies to HEB."
Me: "We can't wear our undies to HEB. Have you ever seen anyone at HEB in their undies?"
Dylan: "But, Mom, its okay. No one will notice. I can just wear my undies because my shirt covers them up. "

Currently, his crocs are on with his shirt and undies.

Top Gun

Well, I just finished watching Top Gun for the who knows how many times. I was forced or was forcing Greg to switch back and forth from the Astros game. Poor guy even missed the other team take the lead in the 9th. Just a few thoughts about Top Gun that I'm sure you are dying to know.

1. Top Gun was the first moving I watched with my parents that had a "romantic" scene in it. I can still remember sitting in the living room of our house and being soooo embarrassed. I know I've said this before, but its weird how I only remember "traumatic" memories of my childhood. Now that I have kids, I wonder what they were thinking in that moment.

2. Just to prove a difference between my hubby and I...Greg switched back to the Astros game and I commented that he better not make the miss the end.
G: "The Celebration scene? 'You can be my wing man anytime.' 'No, you can be mine.'"
K: "No, he goes back to teach and she comes and finds him."
G: "What?"
K: "The jukebox scene! Hello!"

So I guess there is a difference in what we women and men take note of.

3. I just had a random memory, but a partial one. Must not have been traumatic enough. When the guy slams a file cabinet drawer in the movie I think he says "Kirby." I know he says something that was relevant to my life, but have no clue what it is...

I admit this has been a lame post after being gone for so long, but for some reason I felt inspired by the movie. Maybe it was the pre-weirdo Tom Cruise that did it. Seeing him in a towel was still nice. Greg and I were laughing though as you see his muscles flex through it. Sorry for that last random thought.

After Bedtime Thoughts

After a bedtime prayer that I said in Dylan's room where I asked for him to get well soon -

Dylan: "Doctors do it."

Me: "They do what? Oh, they make you better?"

Dylan: "Yes, Jesus doesn't do that."

Me: "Well he can. He and God can do lots of things. All you have to do is pray. If you are afraid or sick, Jesus can help you."

Dylan: "Mommy, how do we get Jesus to come down from Heaven and make me better?"

Me: "Well, Jesus can do that from Heaven. He and God don't have to come down. They are Jesus and God."

Thankfully, the conversation ended here. I felt I was getting in over my head. ha!

Another Funny (at least to me)

Dylan finds a mini saltine in the grass at lunch leftover from yesterday's snack outside. He picks it up and here's the conversation.

Kristen: "Don't eat that. Its dirty and could have bugs on it."

Dylan (as he puts it in his mouth and pauses before chewing) : "I don't feel any bugs on it."

Am I raising dogs?

We are semi-potty training Logan or we could say he is trying to potty train himself. Today when he got up from nap Logan wanted to wear underwear. I said okay and put them on him. We go out into the backyard where Dylan and Daddy are and within 5 minutes Logan notifies us that his pants are wet as he walks akwardly towards us soaked

Dylan tells Logan, "Logan, if you tell Mommy and Daddy you have to go tinkle, they will let you go in the backyard."

??????? (followed by Greg and I's laughter)

I can only remember once when I let Dylan discreetly go by the side fence because he was covered in water and sand and I didn't want that mess in the house. Somehow that translated into a regular senario in his mind...

Flylady

So this lady in my MOM group went on and on about this website and cleaning/lifestyle change. I thought she was crazy, but I really like it and it helped me. Of course, now I'm doing this constantly and I think I might really dig it. We'll see if it transfers until after we sell and don't have to "live in a fishbowl" as my friend, Casie, put it.
