Anything I can ACtually Remember

My brain has been mush this past week. So many times one of my children have said something or did something that I think, "That is cute, I must blog it." Then when I sit down to the computer I cannot think of anything. It must be those outrageuos piles of laundry creeping up the wall extending to my brain, or the unending dirty dishes, or the toys everywhere etc.. Or maybe I just need to get back into running :). It's about time anyway. Joseph just hit the 4 month mark. I am sure pathetic!!!

But since my brain seems to be on vacation I racked my husband's brains a little bit last night and have a few of the things my kids did or said that make me smile to post here.

1. Adam joined his father in the bathroom. Before John washed his hands, he accidently bumped Adam in the head with his elbowed. Adam complained, "Hey Dad!! Now I am going to get sick!"
2. Anya kept getting out cat food and carrying it away through the house. Feeling a bit annoyed I followed her to see where the cat food was going. She was taking it to the cat who was hiding under the couch. So I switched from annoyed to cutified. 
3. We have been playing Age of Empires II a lot-- everyday. We seem to have done this about every two years since Ruth was 6. Then we tire of it and don't play it for two more years. Ruth and John were playing a game together. Ruth got a villager stuck between the woods and the house she built. Since this person was no longer useful Ruth decided to kill her. John, feeling compassion for the computer generated villager and probably some concern that he had Ruth playing a game that was too violent, said "Don't kill her." Ruth then clicked the kill button and said, "Sorry Dad, she died of boredom."
4. John was playing 
   Bach Sonata No 1 in G minor BWV1001: I. Adagio from his laptop while working in our bedroom. Adam came in and said, "This is sad music. This is very sad music. Some one died in this music."
   Joseph spits up a lot!!!!, and not just after he eats. I typically refer to him as a leaky faucet because he seems to just constantly seep spit up. I am not sure he even has sphincter muscles between his stomach and esophogus. So I smell like sour milk a lot right now. On Saturday, John held Joseph a lot while I did a bunch of house work. When Kate came over to John she wrinkled her nose and said, "Dad, you smell like Joseph!" I guess that is my usual perfume these days.
   Saturday night Kate said, "Mom, you have to talk to me tonight.When I was babysitting something embarassing and kind of private happened to me." John and I looked at each other and rolled our eyes because of the demand for a personal night time discussion on a night when we were going out on a date, but we also felt a bit confused at the introduction. Then Kate just came out with it and whispered, "Something funny happened here and here," she then pointed to her armpits, "It was wet there." We felt relieved and humored. Then the next morning Ruth came to me and said, "Kate had sweaty armpits when we babysat. Isn't that funny. It has happened to Kate before it has happened to me."
