Recent Lincolnism:
While squinting up into the sun, Lincoln released about his fourth sneeze within a few minutes. Exasperated, he complained to me, "I keep bless-you-ing when I look at the sun!" Apparently we don't say "sneezing" a lot at our house.
Recent Scoutism:
Scout loves beautiful things and especially loves putting "my" in front of everything she says. She almost always refers to the color purple as, "my purple" and so on. The other morning when I poured her bowl of cheerios she asked me if they were her beautiful ones. Smiling, I said yes. She batted her eyes and held her hands to her chest and said, "Oh, I love my beautiful cheerios!" She's a littlle on the dramatic side sometimes.

Still can't find the cord...
But I remembered another Lincoln story from last night. We recently started a incentive program for his good deeds and not so good ones. (Thanks for the idea Beka!) He's desperately being trying to save his marbles to get to the first line in the mason jar. It takes 30 marbles to get to that one and he is, well, still learning. Sometimes all of the marbles have had to come out, and sometimes he goes a whole hour without losing one. =) Anyway, his first line means he gets to choose a Redbox movie. He saw a commercial for what I think is called "Space Dogs" and his mouth dropped open. He said, "Mom, that's the movie I want for my marbles...because those dogs will talk to me when I bring them home."

I can't find my USB cord!
So, I finally made it to the computer to blog and I can't find my USB cord anywhere. So, instead I will share a couple Lincoln stories that recently made me laugh. I've been meaning to write them down, so now you get to enjoy them too.
-We were watching a commercial for some cold medicine or something where a woman was walking down the street with a very large stuffed bear head in place of her own head. Once she took the cold medicine her head shrunk down to her own head and it's normal size. I saw Linc's eyes get huge and he looked at me and said, "Woah mom, that scared my crap out." I'm ashamed to say that I'm pretty sure he got that from me...although, I say, "That scared the crap out of me." It was one of those moments when you wish you didn't say some things in front of your kids. It did make me laugh out loud though, and now unfortunately, he says it when he wants to be funny. (If you haven't seen the commercial, this probably sounds really weird.)
-Just the other day he was getting dressed in the morning and I told him to go get his underwear on. Anyone that knows my kids knows that they have a fondness for nakeyness. He was holding a DVD at the time and looked at the letters and said, "J-U-N-G-L-E-B-O-O-K spells I don't have to put on my underwear". How can you not love that?
