More funny talks with Cannon

Yesterday as we were leaving Cannon's school he should me a picture of Mary, Joesph and baby Jesus. He got excited and said, "Hey mom! Madison can be baby Jesus, you can be Mary, and I can be....I was fully expecting him to say Joesph, but nope, he said, and I can be GOD!" Hahaha, where did that come from. Love the way their little brains work.


Then the other day I was on the phone with Andrew. Cannon was standing at the top of the stairs and yells "Hey mom watch!" I looked up and heard he say "To infinity and beyoooooonnnd!" My heart leaped out of my chest and I screamed "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" When he says that phrase he is usually jumping off a chair or some other piece of furniture that is close to the ground. I saw an image flash in my head of him jumping and then tumbling head first down the stairs! Well my son was fortunately smarted that that. He was just making his Buzz figurine fly down the stairs. This momma about had a heart attack!

Another funny conversation I over heard my son saying was when he was playing by himself one day. He was just playing with some toys caring on a conversation. (This incident happened after the day he called me an idiot. So he knew about inappropriate words.) So suddenly I hear him say something like, "Are you kidding me you jerk!" I quickly said, "Cannon! What did I just hear you say?" He replied just as fast, "No, no, mom, no, I was just talking to myself, I wasn't calling anyone that!" Like that makes it SOOOO much better! Seriously, where is he learning these words!

Plays, Projects, and Parties!

We have had a lot of fun this month preparing for Christmas and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. Cannon attends a Mother's Day Out school at the Baptist church. They put on a little Christmas play that was one of the cutest, funniest things I have watched in a while. Cannon was asked to be a narrator for the program. I was a little worried about him having to remember lines and then get up there and actually say it, but....He did amazing! Here is a video of him saying his lines. The video quality on my camera is sooooo poor, you can barely make him out but he is the one on the left that steps up after another little boy finishes his line:

His line was: "The man looked at Mary, she looked tired. And the baby would be born very soon."

3 to 5 year olds are hilarious! We heard lots of funny things yelled from the stage, such as I need to go potty! Love it! Can't wait until next year!

Do you remember the projects I told you I would be sharing??? Yeah well I need three of them done by this weekend, and guess what?! I haven't even started! But I work best under pressure so hopefully they will turn out wonderful! I will share them once I finish them. I am really excited about them too!

And finally Cannon will have his first school Christmas party this Thursday. He is so excited. We got gifts for each of his classmates and they have a gift exchange. I get to help with the party so it should be loads of fun! I am working on Andrew to get me a better camera. I don't know what the deal is but my pictures and videos are not up to par. For me that is unacceptable. I am missing out and messing up so many great memories with my kiddos!

Well here's to a busy week!

Photo Catch-up!

Oh Be Careful Little Ears What You Hear...

Saturday afternoon we were all laying around relaxing. Andrew and I were snuggled in a chair looking at our two adorable children. Cannon decided to come over and chat with us a bit. We were laughing and playing with him, when the incident occurred. I was talking to him about his pants and that he had put on ones that were too short for him. He quickly replied in a chipper voice, "No they aren't you IDIOT!" Say WHAT?!?!?! What were the words that just escaped my sweet little boys mouth! My son, who is 4 years old, used in the proper context, called me an idiot! How on earth did he learn this?? I still can not figure out were this was put into his head but it makes me remember how impressionable their precious minds are. Of course, I handled the situation totally wrong. I turned my head and laughed, hard, while my husband took charge and reprimanded Cannon. The poor child was so embarrassed. He didn't really understand the complete meaning of the word, he just repeated something he had heard elsewhere, but he thought it was something we would laugh at, not spank him for saying. Well, I guess I didn't let him down! I am the world's worst at laughing when he says inappropriate things. Andrew keeps telling me I need to work on that! :)

I monitor the shows he watches but he has watched the occasional Sponge Bob and I know that there is a bit of rudeness in that show. Therefore, that show is officially ban from our household. But I really don't know if it was TV or just out in his everyday world where he picked up the words. I will have to be more diligent in guarding his precious ears, eyes, and heart.
