Lincolnisms X

L "Coming in HOT!"
Me "What does that mean?"
L "It means it's coming in really fast!"

Had just warned him that his dinner would be hot...
L "How hot?"
Me "I'm not sure, check it."
L tests the temp of this mac and cheese, "I can work with this hot!"

His dinosaur attacked me with 'speed amigo attack!'

I wiped a gross booger from his nose and he immediately looked at me with the maddest face,
"MOM! I was saving that booger for lunch!" 
It was hilarious and gross. I was on the floor crying laughing for about 15 minutes.

Driving in the sleet.
L "it's soggy outside,"
Me "Yes it is."
L "I hate that sog!"

Telling him to be quiet now because Grandpa Chuck is going to bed.
L "I know. My daddy told me to follow constructions. To be quiet as the wind. Quiet as the snow. Quiet as a carrot."
Me "No... well yeah. I guess a carrot would be pretty quiet."

'Constructions' = Instructions / Directions

Driving in the car, he told me that he is going to name his sons Daniel, T Rex, and Dino. And his daughter Pterodactyl.

*BONUS*
He's 4 now, some terrible three aspects may be leaving...? (maybe wishful thinking) A few heart melters.

I had told him that it was time to leave from grandma's house. He went and got his shoes and put them on himself - without being asked, or told, or begged, or threatened.

We went to the grocery store, had 2 bags and a large box to bring in. I brought in the bags when I took the boys in, put the bags on the floor inside the door to get the box. Come back with the box to find him carrying the bags up the stairs into the kitchen for me.

I bought him a bag of candy yesterday. When I gave them to him, he opened the bag and dumped them all out, lined them all up, and then prayed over them before he ate any.

Spring

Things I love about spring. In no particular order.

- Green is coming back
- Baby cows in the fields
- Green grass
- Rain
- Green in the canyon
- Some days it decides to be warm again
- GREEEEEEEENNNNNNNNN!!!!!
