Heard around the house: Part 2

Anthony: "Daddy, will you throw my ice cream away?"
Andy: "No, we're gonna put it in the freezer."
Ant: "Oh. Can I have my ice cream for breakfast then?"
----
Anthony: "Daddy, am I driving you crazy?"
----
Anthony: "Liz, are you serious?"
----
Anthony: "Liz, do I seriously have to eat all my beans?"
Me: "Well, if you want desert you do. So, yeah, I guess you seriously do have to eat all your beans."
Anthony: *big sigh* "Okay..."
----
Me: "Will you leave my boobs alone already?!"
Andy: "BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY!!!!"
Me: "...So?"
Andy: "..Don't quote me, please."


In other news, can you believe this kid is only 4?! I'm scared to see what he'll be like as a teenager.

I've been very productive today. Woke up early and have been cooking ALL DAY. Homemade lasagna, homemade sauce, and later I'll be making fish for dinner. All this saucy stuff is for Saturday, if you can believe it. I'm sooo excited for dinner this weekend!

Hugs and fishes,

Heard around the house..

{We are growing insanely hot peppers in our raised bed. I picked one to see if it would ripen, and my darling boyfriend took it upon himself to taste test the little firepod. Apparently, he has not learned his lesson.}


Me: "Andrew, why do you keep poking that damn pepper?! LEAVE IT ALONE." A: "BECAUSE I'M A BOY AND THAT'S WHAT BOYS DO."

{10 minutes later.}
A: "Ow."
Me: "What happened?"
A: "....I picked my nose."
Me: "Wow."
---
Anthony: "Liz are you sick?"
Me: "Yes, hunny. I got some sort of icky bug."
Anthony: "Oh. ..Stop being sick."
Me: "Oh, ok. Thanks."
---
Ant: "Hey Liz, you know what?"
Me: "What, honey?"
Ant: "If I finish all my dinner, we can get ice cream."
Me: "Oh we can, can we? Well, we'll see."
Ant: "Yes, we can. I have to eat all my dinner and we can go get ice cream. What kind are you going to get?"
Me: "I don't know if we're going to get ice cream, honey, but you should try to finish your dinner anyway."
Ant: "I think we're getting ice cream."
Me: "Oh, you think so, huh?"
Ant: "Yep."
---
A: "Hey Ant, you know what?"
Ant: "What?"
A: "I love you."
Ant: "Hey Daddy, you know what?"
A: "What?"
Ant: "Is it ice cream time now?"
{Cue us laughing our asses off.}

Dude. Duuuuuude. Look at how long ago I posted! So much has happened! I'M SO SORRY!!!! I will hang my head in shame for being the worst blogger ever. I promise, promise, promise to post some more soon.

I think next up will be a 2 part-er about the raised bed garden Andy and I made and the fence we erected, possibly with a little aside about the "woodchucker" in our backyard and the a-hole bunnies.

Hugs and fishes,
