News Year Eve Funnies from the boys

First, earlier in the day, Owen asks me if he can use the tattoos he got in his stocking. Sure! "How many can I put on?" He asks with a twinkle in those huge brown eyes of his. As many as you want, I tell him, fighting the vision of him coming down looking like he has "sleeves". Have Autumn help you. So I return to starting lunch and I am browning hamburger meat and I get that RUT-ROH! feeling...I forgot to tell him NO TATTOOS on your FACE (well Autumn was helpign him so she'll know better, but just in case I run to the stairs and holler up for them and as he comes downstairs and I am telling him no tattoos on your face, his hand goes to his face and he says "Oh OH!" Alas my mom radar was off a few seconds and I couldn't QUITE prevent what I just KNEW would happen, lol. Oh well...they are temporary, it'll come off eventually@@ But I had to ask Autumn when she came down why she put a tattoo on his face, turns out he had his partner in crime Dylan help him instead @@

I am browning hamburger meat for sloppy Joe's for lunch We are all eating dinner last night trying to decide what we should do as a family New Year's Eve. Autumn wants to watch her Harry Potter movie...no too scary for the boys. Everyone wants to watch a movie but we need to decide on which one...as we are naming the DVDs we own that are possibilities, Dan in his need to tease suggests his favorite...The Bourne Ultimatum (which he's probably has only watched a MILLION times or more)to which Owen quips "So you want to watch The Boring Ultimatum?!" I can't figure out if he's wicked smart and does that on purpose or what but OMG it was priceless!

Then Dylan says he wants to stay up and watch the ball drop.This is really late for our kids who are in bed by 9 at the latest, usually between 8 and 8:30. So around 7 we put in the agreed upon movie Alvin and the Chipmunks, watch that, then watch some America's Funniest Home Videos, and then the beginning of Night at the Museum while we are waiting...by this point Dyl and Owen are sound asleep, despit ethe massive candy consumption. About 5 minutes to midnight we switch to Dick Clark and try to wake the boys up...Owen didn't even bat an eye open. Dyl opened his eyes but you could tell no one was there and he went back to sleep. Dan keeps hollering at him to wake up, he didn't want to miss it and Dan doesn't want to hear him complain in the morning how he missed it...Autumn is shaking him. I was like enough already leave him be! So he sleeps through the ball dropping, and when it's all over I pick up Owen to bring him up to bed and Dan picks up Dylan and Dylan wakes up wide eyed and exclaims, "But I wanted to watch the ball drop!!!!" @@ LMAO! Dan set him down and put it back on for him (we DVR'd the last few minutes for him, lol).
