Bottomless Questions

Xander is constantly bombarding me with question after question.  He is so inquisitive at this age, and I'm sure it's how he learns, but some of these questions just crack me up.  He asks so many that it would take volumes to record them all, and of course I'm distracted with so many questions that I forget them all by the end of the day.  I thought I'd try to remember and write down most of his questions for a few days so you could all see what I mean:  

"What would happen if I prayed for everything to be invisible?"

"Daddy are you a doctor now?" (Blair said not yet) "But you're dressed like a doctor."

"Daddy do you have the priesthood?  Could you baptize me?"

"Do sea animals eat other sea animals?"

"What if I put a stick in a fire and then threw it at a tree- what would happen?"

"What do sleeping fish do?  Well do they swim?"

"Do grapes need air?"

"Did John the baptist always do good things, even when he was little?"

"Do carrots grow on trees?"

"What would happen if I sinked in the middle of the ocean?"

"Why didn't Jesus make transformers to be real?  I want them to be real."

"Could you make some BBQ sauce to put on my plate and then I could dip carrots into it?"

"Was the 1st house that I lived in when I was born made of wood?"

"Would fire burn us to pieces?"

"Do robots walk like this?"

"Do real light sabers cut all the way through bone?"

"Do cockroaches know how to eat through ice?"

"What would happen if a tractor picked up a whole lot of sand, and buried me?"

"Is lemonade- juice?"

"Is daddy gonna be 29 when you are someday?"

"Do iguanas eat mice and rats?"

See what I mean?  I don't know where he comes up with half of them. As for Will, he's cute as ever and likes to copy everything that Xander does.  He likes to ask questions too, but his statements are funnier right now.  Here's a few from the last few days:  

"It's like a roller coaster!" (he had his hands up on a bumpy road)

"Look at that cutie cutie bitty rock." (pointing at a little pebble on a walk we took)

"Daddy you forgot me a kiss." (he reminded Blair to kiss him goodbye)

"Look at my chin is doing." (he put bubbles from the bath on his chin)

"It's all my fault."  (we asked him what was his fault) "I don't know."

As you can see, I could write books with the stuff they say.

Happy Birthday week

Blair and I share a birthday week, so we make the most of it and celebrate all days in between too!  His birthday was at the beginning of the week, and mine is in a couple of days still.  We have had lots of last minute visitors this week to keep us busy, which has been fun (Blair's brother & wife & friends, and my brother & his friend).  I guess that happens sometimes when you live here and it's spring break season.

We decided to go see some Vegas shows for our birthdays.  We went & saw Mystere on the weekend, and then Blue Man Group a couple of days ago.  They would be hard for me to describe, so I found some photos and descriptions online:

"Mystere is a vibrant kaleidoscope of powerful athleticism, high energy acrobatics, and inspiring imagery"

I loved loved loved Mystere.  It was so good. 

"Blue Man Group combines sight gags, physical stunts, and audience participation, with members of the front rows given plastic rain ponchos as protection from the hail of paint, food, and other assorted projectiles launched from the stage."

Yep- totally random, but fun to watch.  Thanks to those that watched the kids while we went to the shows!  We joined "house seats" which is a club where you pay an annual membership and then can get free tickets to last minute shows that aren't filled here in Vegas. That's how we got the Blue Man tickets.  We're way happy with it so far!

Here are the birthday cards we've gotten this week :)  It's nice to be remembered, thanks!

Now we're off to a birthday dinner that a friend is making for us.  We're so spoiled this year!

ABC's

I recorded this a few weeks back, and thought Will's recent rendition of the ABC song was blog worthy.

There hasn't been too much new around here.  I've been trying to get Will potty trained, and sleep in his "big boy" bed all at once.  The potty training isn't going so smoothly, but he's been sleeping just fine in the toddler bed.  The 1st few nights I heard a lot of playing instead of sleeping going on in his room.  He tried to come out a few times, as suspected, and he ended up back his crib.  A few days into it I went in his room to check on him after a while, and this is what I found.  He was asleep, but he had taken off his pajamas, and had a step-stool and other items, in bed with him:

The weather has been really nice this week, and we went to the park 2 days in a row.  Yesterday Xander drew pictures of Blair and me with some sidewalk chalk.
