Buhler? Buhler?

Holy Hannah what happened to October...and November...and December...and January, for that matter?!? I missed blogging about my favorite time of year, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and my 41st birthday!!!! I apologize to my one reader of this blog. I'm sure you've felt neglected. I just haven't felt the urge to purge, ya' know what I mean?

So many exciting things have happened...D'Artagnan's beard remains on his face despite my manipulative efforts to get it off, Sugar Princess lost her first tooth, Porthos is going to the State Spelling Bee, Athos let all the ants go in his ant farm and they died from the freezing temperatures, and Aramis is almost out of pull-ups at night.

Despite these overwhelmingly exciting activities, I have something even more exciting I am doing this weekend. I am attending the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival Workshops in Provo, Utah. I get to go ALL DAY on Friday and ALL DAY on Saturday. Its a mother's dream come true! While I am going to miss Sugar Princess' first Irish Dance Competition (don't ask if I feel the guilt, because I don't), I think it will be worth it because I will learn how to tell stories...something I've always dreamed of doing. Then, perhaps, this blog will show some improvement. It's about time.

Keri said...: They just had a professional storyteller do an assembly at Spencer's school yesterday, and he said he couldn't stop laughing because the guy was so funny. I'm sure you're a great storyteller, but that will be a fun experience to actually go and learn some new storytelling skills!

P.S. Glad you're back. I didn't blog for about a month either.; 10:03 AM

Funny or Unusual Things My Kids Have Said

March 2012 - D'artagnan was holding our daughter with her head on his chest. He was telling her how much he loves her. "You make my heart sing," he said. "Can you hear it?" Sugar Princess answered, "...sounds more like your stomach."

Aramis has started reading chapter books and is taking them everywhere. We always tell him he will get carsick if he reads them in the car. He and I went to the store. I told him he could bring his book in and read it. I would just put him in the cart. He looked up at me with such concern, "If I read in the cart, won't I get cartsick?"

D'Artagnan was feeling really ill. He could not shake this cold he had. He said, "I think I have pneumonia." A worried Athos looked at him and sincerely said, "Dad, maybe you should go in for an autopsy."

Athos asked, around 8:00pm, if it was correct to say "Buenos Tardes" or "Buenos Noches," because it was getting dark. We went back and forth discussing it for awhile before Porthos just looked at us and said, "I would just say Buenos Aires."

Porthos built a little man out of his Fritos chips tonight. There was a bunch of fritos around the middle. He said, "Look, Mom, my guy, has girdles about his loins."

1st son "Wouldn't it be great if you were born one minute before the start of the millenium?"

2nd son "I used to imagine that when I was in your tummy,
I was naked and sitting in a big chair by a fire, reading a book."

Daughter "I have indian breath." (instead of onion breath)

2nd son "Can I please watch Jane Eyre tonight?"

1st son "The kids at school don't know anything. They don't
even know who Howard Keel is." 2nd son "My favorite songs in order are 1) Copacabana (Barry Manilow) 2) Good Vibrations (Beach Boys) and 3) any by Cat Stevens."
1st son "My favorite songs in order are 1) Fernando (Abba) 2) Baracuda (Heart) and 3) California Girls (Beach Boys)
NOW THAT IS SOME TASTE IN MUSIC!!!!!!
daughter, age 4- (playing Angel Gabriel in the nativity play) "Fear Not! Behold, I bring joy to all the people in the city of David! There's a Savior! He's Christ the Lord!"
