Older Brothers

Bean: This is my pet spider. (Pointing to the spider above her window). Him's name is Peter Parker. At night, he turns into Spider-Man and swings around my room on webs. Eric can't see him or he'd go "Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh!" and cry like a girl. Peter doesn't want to make Eric cry. I do though. It's fun to make Eric cry. Maybe I give him Peter's friend for Christmas.

The Power of Santa

Tonight, we are going to a tree lighting. Santa will be riding in on a fire truck and putting the star on the tree. Bean is REALLY excited about this. She keeps asking when we are going. I told her after lunch and a nap.

Bean: I don't want to take a nap!

Me: You have to. We will be out late and you get cranky.

Bean: I'm going to nap now! I need extra sleep. I don't want Santa to see me cranky!!!!!

It's only 10:30 AM, but I'm not arguing!

They are in cahoots!!!

Last night, I heard noise coming from the girls' room nearly 2 hours after they were supposed to be in bed. I look in and see Millie up in her crib playing with Bean's stuffed pony. Bean is hanging off the side of her bunk bed, shining a flashlight into Millie's crib so she could see to play. My heart melted. I didn't know whether to scold them or kiss them, so I did both. They are in cahoots already. Lol.

Making sure her baby sister is prepared.

Bean (3) has been enthralled with the fact that her 9 month old baby sister has started talking. Today in the car, she decided to work on Millie's vocabulary.

Bean: Say "momma", Millie! Come on, say it!

Millie: Mom mom mom

Bean: Ducky, Millie! Say "Ducky"!

Millie: Daddy!

Bean: No, duck. Duck!

Millie: Duck... Dadda duck.

Bean: Say "cat".

Millie: Aaaaack!

Bean: Ok, Ok! Say "zombie apacowips". Come on, say it! Zombie a-pa-co-wips!

Me: Bean, do you even know what a zombie apocalypse is????

Bean: Yes! It's when the whole world gets filled up with zombies and they go "uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhh!". Now make her say it! Say it Millie! Zombie apocalypse!

Bean's "Spirited Away" Rewrite

Bean was reenacting her own version of the scene where Hoku has been injured.

Hoku: I'm bleeding. I think I dying.

Zen: I save you! I love you! You saved now.

Hoku: I love you too. But silly girl, I still bleeding to death.


So much for love curing everything.

Apparently I was misunderstood

Mom: Bean, you are driving me nuts!!!!

Bean: I am not. I like to draw zombies and rainbows, not nuts!

Zombie Bird

Bean: Momma, where's Oscar?

Me: He died a while ago, Honey.

Bean: We put him in the ground?

Me: Yep.

Bean: Can we dig him up???

Me: Errrrr.... No.

Bean: But we have to!

Me: No, we don't.

Bean: Yes, we do! Him might be a zombie now. If him is, I want him!

Me: I'm sure he isn't a zombie.

Bean: You looked?

Me: Uh... Yes! I checked.

Bean: Eewww! Mom! Why you do that?! Yuck!
