Javan-isms

Javan is with his grandparents this morning since they did Christmas last night, so I plan on taking full advantage of these moments of uninterrupted time to get really important things done.  Like re-upholster my kitchen chairs and make some curtains for my kitchen :-)

What?? I got a new tablecloth for Christmas and now it doesn't match my chairs or my curtains.  Something MUST be done about this!

Lance thinks I am crazy too... Anyway, I thought I'd take a few minutes to write down a couple of silly Javan sayings.

We met up with Chad's sister yesterday so that she could take Javan to his grandparents house.  Missi and her daughter, Aislinn, had just had some Sonic for lunch and apparently Aislinn offered Javan a tater tot... and here is how the conversation went (paraphrasing since I wasn't actually there)...

Aislinn: Javan, do you want a tater tot
Javan: My mom doesn't take me to restaurants.
Aislinn: So, you don't go to restaurants at all???
Javan: Nope, never. She never takes me to Mcdonalds.  She makes me eat healthy things.
Aislinn: Like what?
Javan: Things like Sticks, and twigs, and mud and branches
Aislinn: Oh man, so can you have a candycane?
Javan: Oh yeah! I can have candycanes

Lance says that we should serve him up a dinner of sticks and mud when he gets back (as a joke) and see what he says. hahaha

Seriously, though, this whole 2 sides parenting thing is killing me!! And so it goes... I cook every meal because, well, its healthier and cheaper.. Chad sees him once a week and takes him out to Mcdonalds every time. I'm sure if i saw him only once a week I would probably take him out too!! AND for the record... we do make an occasional fast food jaunt from time to time.

I have so many thoughts about this topic, my brain gets all mixed up when I think about it...I think I'll leave it as it is right now and maybe when I have some more time I will dig a little deeper on the whole parenting/eating healthy conundrum.

Anyway, one other cute little quote Javan said... and before I go there, I'd like to answer everyone's question before you ask it. No, i'm not pregnant and no, we are not trying ...

Shew. and once again, paraphrasing since I wasn't there for this one either....

Lance and Javan were talking about Harrison and how helpful Javan is with him. Then Lance said, so Javan when you are a big brother someday, are you going to be a big helper for mommy?  Javan's response:

"Oh yeah, i'll be a big helper! I'll be really good at teaching him how to wrestle."

hahaha... Thanks Javan! I'm sure teaching the baby how to wrestle will truly help me.. I mean, it IS his duty as a big brother, right?!?!?

I will write soon about Christmas excitement. Right now, its back to work....
