Pickles and Drums

Just a few more recent quotes. Talking with Spencer is such a blast!

• While driving down S. Lamar with the windows down: "What's that smell? Is it BACON?!"
• "Ooooh! I like this water. It makes me... it makes me very thirsty." 
• Spencer (after they turned at a light): "Daddy, was the light still green?
  Dave: "Yes it sure was."
  Spencer: Oh Daddy, you're so smart!"
• "Uh, sure." This is a common response to questions. Very casual. :)
• While pretending to talk on an old cell phone: "I need to order a cheese pizza. I need to order pickles and drums."
• Responding when I asked if he wanted some water: "Ummmmm, I'm fine." (It's obvious he picks up on some of our common phrases.)
• While building an aquarium out of cardboard bricks with Geep: "I'm working on it. I'm gonna be done in 30 minutes." (I actually just overheard this as I was typing this blog entry.)
• When I was putting Spencer to bed the other night, he started telling me a story about a polar bear that went something like this: "There was a polar bear with sharp teeth, sharp eyes, sharp nose, sharp claws, sharp toenails. And there was a monster in the polar bear's room but he was just wearing a costume."

On a side note, monsters seem to be a hot topic lately - Spencer will tell me he doesn't want to go into a room because he saw a monster. He says it in kind of a fun way though - like it's a game. A couple of books we read a lot have monsters in them. I try to make sure he knows they are costumes or just pretend and of course not scary, but they are making an impression I guess.

And I will close with this sweet picture of my boys having breakfast while I was in Santa Monica. Love these guys!!
