Dog Farts, Anatomy Talks and Tookies

Seriously, has your child ever had farts that smelled like dog farts? I am a little embarrassed about it because Liam's only source of food is me and so it must be something I am eating. Man, can he clear a room! Kevin was changing one this morning while I was gone and he said that he almost gagged. Do you remember the scene from the movie Turner and Hooch? The big dog is laying in the corner and Tom Hanks' character cannot believe the smell came from the dog...yeah you know what I am talking about. Anyway its gross and somehow extremely intriguing to the point that we actually tell other people they have to smell it. Maybe we should have a doctor smell it... Owen thinks it is funny too.
A couple of weeks ago I heard Owen sharing some manly wisdom with Liam in a "big brother talk" I stood in the doorway and listened in as Owen (speaking in a high pitch baby voice, you know the one that we all do to get grins) was saying "Liam you have a little penis, yes you do, and one day you will have a big boy penis, yes you will, won't you little buddy" You get the picture. I guess that is what happens when you teach kids the right name for their anatomy.
We took the kids to the movies today. It is awesome! The local theater has $1 movies every morning at 10 am during the summer. This week it was the Bee Movie. Fun, a little crude for my tastes but hopefully it went over the kids heads. I know "they say" the humor is for the adults who bring their kids... but I am not sure that I even think it is all that funny.
In other news.....
Havilah, who spoke some form of mandarin, has now converted to the English language at an alarming rate. However, when excited, she still reverts and Owen translates for us. One of the cutest things she still says is tookie instead of cookie. What is even better is the other day Kevin had a larger cookie than normal and she jumped up and down and sang big tookie big tookie daddy!
For being an organizer and liking things simple my house is chaotic right now and it is driving me crazy. It is all because we moved everything from upstairs so we could start the demolition. Now we have boxes of books, Christmas things, memory boxes and other misc items spread over, under and around our dining table. AHHHH! At first I thought to myself "I would be horrified if someone were to come over" then I realized that this is my life right now. Things are not all neat and organized and not everything has a place but that is okay...maybe:)
On a happier note Kevin and I went to the Performing Arts Camp he has been at all week. They had their big performance tonight. A little girl sang like an angel and the rest of the kiddos did an awesome job! We also bought Kevin a 12 string guitar for $20, he is strumming as I type. I love hearing him humming and strumming. He made songs up for the kids at bedtime and they just drank it up. Good night all.
