Ian: Careful, Daddy, don’t hit the tubes!
Me: What tubes?
Ian: The tubes inside the wall!

He may not know what they’re called, but I’m pretty sure he’s the only 4 year old in the world who not only knows about conduit and plumbing, but knows hitting it with a drill would be a bad idea. He may also be the only 4 year old who loves watching HGTV, and I’m pretty sure the two are related.

I did the rough shaping and painting, but Kyle and Ian both picked out their designs, sanded their cars, put on stickers, and hammered on the wheels. They look pretty nice, now we just have to wait until February to see if they drive nice.

Ian: I want orange juice!
Me: I don’t think they have orange juice here.
Ian: Yes they do. Look! (he points to a pitcher of beer on a nearby table)
Katra: No, honey, that’s not orange juice, that’s beer. That’s only for mommies and daddies.
Ian: Oh… I love that kind of drink.
Katra and me: (exchange concerned looks)

Just put one leg through the neck hole, the other leg through an arm hole, and you’re all set!

The boys picked some peaches, rode on the 4-wheeler, shot off some fireworks, and had fun with the dogs.

He put his shirt on backwards, his shorts on backwards, and his underwear on inside out. I’m glad I didn’t give him socks, they might have ended up on his hands!

I went to find him and saw the top of his head sticking out from behind the living room table. I went over to see what he was up to and discovered what had happened to the leftover cookies from our Cub Scout meeting yesterday!
