Salad Syrup!
And now, announcing, a brand-new, never-before-seen series on the blog featuring the top five photos of the boys from the week and the top five quotes.
Honestly, the boys are so hilarious. I don’t actually want to bottle them up forever (dude, they would hate that) but also I do. So maybe this is the next best thing?
Some of these things made us laugh (super hard), and some of them are more just emblematic of the boys as they are right this second. They get *into* things. (Right now, Fritz is into pterosaurs, and Lars is also into, well, pterosaurs. But also t-rex.)
And now, without further ado, here we go! This week’s batch is a little Lars-heavy on the quotes, but some weeks its the other way around. This week Lars has been all cutsie nutsy and Fritz has been extremely sweet. He even asked to scrub the floor last night, the little honey pie.
“Wow, I really really wike cwackers.”
Actually, I have several Lars quotes like this for the last month that I’ve texted Ben. He’s very into completely gorging himself on a food, then commenting. A few weeks later, he ate a big handful blackberries at grandma’s house. His face was completely stained with blackberries, and he patted his belly and said, completely content, “Mmmmm. Dose weawwy sour.”
We went to the children’s museum this week, and TOTAL bonus, they have a new Dino dig exhibit. Fritz was completely concentrated on brushing off this lil Dino bone, his tongue out and everything.
“Nope, I want salad syrup!”
(We’re 90 percent sure he means salad dressing but also Lars loves salad dressing, on chicken, cheese, peppers, anything but lettuce, so who knows. Ben poured him some regular, non-salad syrup though.)
Lars loves a good tea party (imaginary or not), and luckily so does Mr. Dinosaur.
“I wants some PIRACY! La you, bye.”
Ah, the call of the sea. The looting, the swashbuckling, the salt air…
Whenever we have pancakes, Fritz asks for snowman shape, a carrot tip, and a bunch of chocolate chips. He loves them so much that he’s disappointed that waffles don’t come in snowman shapes.
“Mommy, your tummy is kind of getting a little bit big. Is there a baby in there? ”
Reader, there is definitely not a baby in there.
All packed up and ready to partay
“Hitz! Hitzie! I la you!”
It’s hilarious and adorable and I know my heart is actually going to break when he learns to say the “fr” sound.
Lars’s amazing nursery leaders bring enough candy for all the primary kids to have treats after church every week. For the past two weeks, Lars has come home with a bouquet of lollies. He represents the lollipop guild.
Well, that’s all the cuteness we have for you this week. The boys’ top piece of life advice is to drink chocolate milk whenever you can. (Even though as Lars so often reminds Hitz, “Water good for you!”)
