Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

We had a rotisserie chicken for dinner tonight.  Darin had quite a story to tell about that chicken!
Darin said that he and I walked up a mountain to go hunt the chicken.  When I asked how he killed it, he said, "With a sword."  So, we went sword hunting in the mountains for chicken...

Oma's Pool

We visited Oma and Opa for Thanksgiving.  They have a pool.  I explained to Darin that he can't swim in the pool by himself because he could drown and die.  One day while heading inside I said to Darin, "You need to come in with me now because you can't be out by the pool by yourself.  Do you know why?"  Darin said. "Because I will die."  So I continued, "How will you die?"  He said, "An alligator will get me."

Me: I love you.
Darin: Nope, I love Jesus.

"I want to watch Paz.  Peep will be on."

"I did it by my own." or "I want to do it by my own."

My Big Favor

When Darin finished his breakfast, he hopped down from the table and said "I'm all done."
So, I asked him, "Can you do me a favor?"
He asked, "A big one?"
"Yeah.", I said.
He said "ok" as he started to rub my back.  Then, when he was done he said, "I did."
That wasn't the favor that I was asking for, so I laughed and said thank you.  Then I asked if he would put his breakfast bowl in the sink.  He did it with a smile!

Darin's 1st Story

Darin was reading a book to me the other day.  It went a little something like this:

Once upon a time...it was a birdie day...a pretty day.

"We are going to say goodbye now.  Goodbye"

Who is who?

We were just sitting around, hanging out when Darin says to me, "Mom, you are a bear.  My daddy is a fox, and I am a pig."  He has a new book called My Lucky Day and those are the characters in the book.

Ramen Noodles

Yom-yom nood-noods.

Yip Me UP!

Darin got to go to work with Spencer for a little bit today.  I put his jacket on, because it's a little chilly today.  But, that wasn't good enough..."You gotta yip (zip) me up.  It's yaining (raining)!"

Fun-Fun

Darin was laying in bed after naptime and called "Mom!  I hear fun-fun!" He thought he heard thunder, but it was just the wind.

"I really sick.  Don't touch me."

Foot Bones

Logan was jumping on Darin and Darin said "Ow!  Logan has bones in his feet."

Waking Up

When Darin woke up this morning, he came out of his room and declared with a smile "It's not dark."

Water

So we are working on saying water, since he says it lar lar.

Darin can say wa and ter no problem, but when we try to put them together we get wa-lar-ter.

The Oreo

Background:
We can only have 2 oreos for dessert or in a sitting. That way we don't get fat.

Mom: I want to be fat.
Darin: Why? Like me?
Mom: (weird look)
Darin: Like Dad?
Mom: (blank look) Laugh.
Dad: Darin!

Hott Gum!

"I don't like hot gum. Just warm gum."

Pork Chop Sticks

"I need pork chop sticks...for my rice."

Foot Flushing

Darin thinks it's funny to flush the toilet with his foot.

Online Shopping.

I went to the computer room to let Darin know how he could earn a penny.  When I go in, he's leaning over the desk with the mouse in his hand and he looks up at me "I'm looking at shoes."  I had left a shoe webpage open.

Stamps.

Darin runs in excitedly, "Look, I put stickers on."  He had gotten the stamps and stuck them on his shirt.

"I need a penny. It's in my penny cage."
