Father's Day

I've been sick most of the week (since I went to bed on my birthday last Monday), so today we just relaxed and watched guy movies. After watching Master & Commander, there wasn't really anything else exciting on TV, so in honor of my amazing Dad we watched one of our joint favorites, Hunt for Red October. My kids never even made fun of my bed head.
After that, we had pizza!!!

The kids have all been doing and saying cute things lately.
– Gabe's new favorite phrase to Declan is "I don't know what you're talking about."
– Declan saw a junebug the other day and was scared, insisting it has teeth and would bite him. We tried to explain to him that junebugs and beetles don't have teeth and won't bite him, but apparently he saw one open its wings to fly and told us matter of factly that he saw its big teeth and it was jumping up to bite him! Poor guy. We've actually been having more than our fair share of brown recluse (translated "poisonous") spiders, so we pay close attention when they let us know of bugs.
– Now that Gabe is in a booster seat, he has a tendency to lean forward a little to see out the window better, so we're constantly reminding him to sit back in his seat. Well today, Annabelle noticed him leaning forward and decided to loudly instruct him to sit back in his seat!
- Declan's also been feeling pretty big lately now that he's 3. The other day he wanted to go somewhere but I had the car, so he just told Mommy that he'd drive Papa's truck and take them all out (because he knows Mommy doesn't like driving Papa's huge truck, but he can handle it because he's big now).
– All the kids like to pretend that baby Graysen is in their tummy, too.
