The Wonderful World of Widdisons: I cheated to get this result!

You Are Root Beer

Ultra sweet and innocent, you have a subtle complexity behind your sugary front.
Children love you, but so do high end snobs... when you're brewed right.

Your best soda compatibility match: Dr. Pepper

Stay away from: Diet Coke

What Kind of Soda Are You?

I absolutely hate dr. pepper and kept getting it as a result...truly I could answer yes to many of the questions so I didn't feel like a complete cheater. My favorite it Root beer so its a good thing that was the second soda-pop I got!

My favorite quote

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenck's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." Marjorie Hinckley

and just for fun, a few to laugh about...
"Who are all these kids and why do they keep calling me mom?"
"I've childproofed my house but they still get in"

"Well, I didn't see me do it." This is after I scolded him for doing something naughty...only to find out later that it wasn't him, it was Isaac--that is why he didn't see himself do it...he was so confused why he was getting in trouble for something he didn't remember doing!

Isaac
"I love mama so much, 100, 100, 100, 100, 1,000, 1,000, 1,000, 100, 100, 100, 1,000 much!"

"Give me some space! Pleeeeease!"

2008

Questions from Isaac:

"Why do you have to do (make) money?"

"Why do we have moms and dads?"

I asked him why he thought we had moms and dads and he had no idea...and returned the question, "why do YOU think we have them?"

UPDATE: Isaac just informed me he figured out why we have moms and dads. Finally, an answer to one of the world's greatest questions.

"We have moms and dads so they can use the hot stuff for us. Like the oven and the stove and the microwave."

We tell Isaac to eat his carrots because it will help him see well in the dark. One night, Isaac called his dad in the room to read something to him, when the lights were out--the room was pitch black.

Ike, "Daddy, can you read this to me?"

Dad, "No, it is too dark in here."

Ike, "But don't you eat carrots?"

After visiting the doctor's office with me and seeing a medical picture of a baby being born Isaac and I had the following conversation.

Ike, "Is that how the baby is born?"
me, "Yes."
Ike, "Good thing I'm a boy."
me,"That is right, you won't ever have a baby but your wife will."
Ike, "Remember mommy? I'm not going to grow up to be anything? I won't have a wife."
me, "Oh ya, I remember."

Isaac still maintains FIRMLY that he will not grow up to be anything except a "big" boy. Let's just say he isn't fond of the idea of leaving mommy and daddy yet. He knows that people who really grow up to be something, leave their homes and get new ones.

Isaac is famous for his dramatic responses when asked to do work.

After I ask him to throw something away.

"All by myself? But that will take all day!"

After I ask him to get dressed.

"But that will take forever!"

After I ask him to go to the bathroom

"Why do I always have to do that?"

Usually I ask him if he wants to change jobs with me because I really have to do things all day that he would not want to do. He always tells me he doesn't want to trade and the whining stops.
Isaac, that looks great, who taught you how to do that?

"my brain just taught me."

After a FHE lesson on the Plan of Salvation (pre-earth life, war in heaven etc) Isaac said a very thoughtful prayer.

"Please help me to Choose the Right and when Satan comes at night could you please slam the door and punch him in the face?"

Amen.

Questions from Ike:

"What is a hobby, how can I have a hobby?"

"What does it mean when you say something someone doesn't like and they say, 'you're fired!'"

He is in the question everything stage. How do you make ___(insert any word you like)? he has practically asked how to make everything these past few weeks. I am feeling kinda dumb.

After telling Isaac that he needs to slow down and not grow up so fast he said,
"Okay, but how can I? I just love to eat so much. I am always hungry!"

from funny man Luke:

"Today is Tuesday! That means I get to go to the Dinosaur museum!"

"I had a pink treat! That means I get to go to the Dinosaur museum!"

"I went potty! (probably in his diaper) That means I get to go to the Dinosaur museum!"

There is no logic. He really says this after almost anything. Funny kid.

Sometimes when Isaac complains about his food being too hot, we tell him that after the prayer it will probably be okay. Well, the other day this is what happened...

Isaac, "oh, my food is too hot, we need to say a prayer."

(says a quick blessing on the food, then takes a bite and spits it out)
"oh man, it didn't work, we should say another prayer."
me, "Isaac, do you think we say a blessing on the food so that it will cool down?"

Isaac, "yes."
me, "oops, let me tell you why we pray for our food...:)"

There have been a lot of questions about girls around our house lately...

Isaac asks, "How do girls burp?"

Kyle wonders, "Do you think our little girl will be petite?"

Sometimes I like to answer with a question..."Have you seen our boys?" ...followed by a loud burp.

Questions answered.

(after trying to get me dirty with a dirty juice cup to "play a game" I told Luke I didn't want him to get me dirty.)

Luke said convincingly, "No, it is okay, the doctor said you can get dirty a little bit"

I use the "doctor said" a lot with my kids..."the doctor said you need to eat your vegetables to be strong...etc."

It is catching on!!

Sometimes Isaac licks his lips a lot...till they are chap. I always tell him to stop and today he said, "why do lips have to be dry?" I told him because they get sore if we lick them too much. His response was brilliant. "Well, then our lips should be here (pointing right below his nose) and here (pointing right above his chin) far away from our tongues so we can't reach them."

Smart boy, always thinking of a good solution to a problem.

Later he realized that he could reach those spots with his extremely long tongue. He decided our lips should be even further away...our forehead and our neck. He isn't joking when he says this. He is really thinking it through.

Luke, after hearing the baby's heart beat, "The baby is coming out!!" He said this like it was a warning...like, watch out, here it comes!

Isaac, after being convinced that the baby MIGHT be a girl, "well, maybe we can try having a sister, and if we don't like it, we can give her back."

Luke hates hot cars. When we put him in the car seat he closes his eyes, covers his face with his hands, and screams, "Turn the sun OFF!" No matter what I tell him, he is convinced that I can turn the sun off and doesn't know why I haven't done it yet.

After becoming frustrated with a shoe that wouldn't go on properly Luke screamed, "That shoe is being mean to me!"

"_______(insert name), You are the BEST!" Lou

"mommy, you have a time out!" Lou

After trying to clean his sticky hands, I guess I pushed too hard with a baby wipe. "mommy don't hit me. You have to be nice!" Lou

"Mommy, we really need to buy lime-away because it cleans and protects your home." Ike

After telling Luke that I hoped I didn't throw up on him while changing his diaper because it was so stinky, Isaac said, "Lukey sure is a cute baby. I hope you don't throw up on him, because then he wouldn't be so cute."

2007
"Mommy, Luke picked my nose for me!" me, "NO! don't let him do that!" Isaac, "but mommy, that is a good thing, he was helping me!"

"who made *tommy? Heavenly Father didn't make him because he is mean, so who made him?" Ike

"I love moms and dads. Mommy and daddy are my favorite persons" Ike

After throwing up and me explaining to him that he can't have something to drink, "but mommy, water is healthy!" Ike

After watching me rub my head I explained to him that I had a headache he said, "It's okay mommy, everybody makes mistakes sometimes." Ike

"Big boys are not babies...big boys are sons. When I grow up, we will have 2 daddies because I will be a daddy and we will still have daddy." Ike

"When I grow up, I am going to fly." (Will you give me a ride?) "No, mommy, you are too big." Ike

"Mommy, don't cry, mommies don't cry, only babies cry." Ike

"Remember mommy, we EAT cheetahs" Ike

(After scolding a 3 year old for dripping Popsicle on his shorts)..."Mommy, I didn't drip, the popsicle dripped!" Ike

"Ahh, mommy a bee!"
"No, it is not a bee it is just a pesky bug, but don't worry, it doesn't bite."
"It just kisses?" Ike

Isaac speaking quietly to himself, "focus, speed, I am speed."
from the movie, Lightening McQueen...he is always quoting from it! Ike
