Phrases heard from our home...

Here are a few phrases heard from our home lately:

-as Maddie & I are walking out the door to Jason's teeball game, I hear Trav call to Jason, "Take the mustache off and leave it on the table..."

-Maddie: "Mommy, I have a booger here and I'm not going to eat it."
Jason: "Maddie, don't eat your boogers, they'll make you small."
Maddie: "No! They're Sweet!" (what being sweet has to do with not making you small, I'm not sure, I walked away after Madds started in on the booger bit, I just heard Jason's wisdom on my way to the kitchen).

Saturday Night Excitement

It doesn't get any wilder (is that a word?) or crazier than Saturday nights here at Casa Olson. That's right, it's party central. Not really. This Saturday night I spent time catching up on Up All Night, my new favorite show and playing Words with friends on commercials. It's really funny, that's why I chose to watch 3 episodes in a row instead of doing something wildish and crazish, well that and I have 2 children and my husband was rockin' the Weezer concert tonight. So here' to Chris & Reagan & Crew & why they're my new favorite tv characters:

6. Chris really likes the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, The Spin Doctors AND that Train song, "hey soul sista"
5. Ava doesn't have a flat stomach, no where even close
4. they remind me that I'm not the only one in the universe who has lost coolness since becoming parents
3. Reagan wears a girdle and 2 pairs of spanx. I don't actually have a girdle, but I did contemplate buying one, then I started wondering if they made girdles anymore. I guess so.
2. It reminds me of when my husband used to be a lawyer and I had an exciting tv producer job. Oh wait, I was never a tv producer and travis was never a lawyer, nevermind.
1. I guess it just makes our sometimes parental incompetence seem a little more normal. so if you sometimes find yourself experiencing the occasional parental incompetence, you should so watch this show.
