Today I spent several hours down at the fishing dock with the boys. Wow, the things you hear when you are in a confined space with a 6 and 7 year old with no other distractions (i.e. a baby sister screaming her demands every 2 seconds). Here are just a few that I have remembered, and yes, they are mostly Caden-ism's as I like to call them:
1) "Man, when it's summer time, I'm going to living the good life, right Mom?" - Caden
2) "That's weird, I thought only God could walk on water, but I guess spiders can too" - Caden
3) "Mom! I need a new butt" says Caden. "Huh, you need a new bait?" says Mom. "No, a new BUTT, mine has a crack in it" says Caden. Followed by so much laughter by two little boys that we didn't catch another fish for at least 15 minutes.
4) Eli as I am trying to put their itty bitty tiny fish on a stringer for them so that they can "walk it" up and down the dock a few times before we free it..."You wouldn't say it was no big deal if I put that thru your lip mom".
5) "He's a fighter, He's a fighter" - Caden (said with Dustin on 5hr energy drink like intensity, as we try to pin down the flopping 6in teensy fish to put the stringer on)
6) "Why does fishing have to be so dangerous" - Eli (sobbing and holding his fingers from where a fish (again TINY) poked him with his fin thing)
7) "We should go in and get suncreen on" Mom says. "Really, probably just you because you're not 1/2 brown like daddy" Caden responds. Dang it...he's probably right on that one. :(
8) "Wow, this is the best restaurant in the world" - Caden as I come back down with sunscreen, juiceboxes & cheesesticks
And the finally, just a couple cute pictures of country girl Millie. I don't know if it's the John Deere or her Great Grandma Ringger grin, she sure looks like a Ringger to me in this first picture! lol
Oh and FYI, picture of Eli with fish coming soon...just need to download from Jerome's phone!
