Temperments

I totally forgot this hilarious story until Timmy brought it up at dinner tonight and it must be documented.

Our drive home from Vegas last month was a fiasco! It took us 8 hours to get home. We stopped at 3 stores to pick up a new movie for the kids to watch, 3 gas stations for potty breaks, 4 gas stations looking for free air for the tires, 1 gas station to check the pressure in the newly filled tires and let out air, and 1 in-n-out for Todd's last double-double until Christmas.

With all of that action our patience was running thin. We were packed tightly in the minivan - Todd and Timmy in the front, Tayson and Luke in the captains chairs and me in the back with Claire and Sophie. The boys just kept bickering and after about 10 minutes of telling them to stop and to be nice and to not touch each other or throw things Todd finally said "fine just do whatever you want."

For some reason Luke really took this to heart. He started chanting "FAT...FAT....FAT....FAT" when Tayson told him to stop he said "I'm serious Tays you're for reals fat!" What in the world? We were laughing so hard I was crying. Finally Luke and Tayson just cracked up then the whole thing was over. I have no idea why he would call Tayson fat or think that was the meanest thing he could say. The kid is so dang random...just like his dad!

When we were talking about that story I said how funny Luke is and that he is just like his dad. And Tayson said "and I'm just like you mom, I have your temperature". Then tonight when Todd tucked him in Tayson asked him to lay down with him and Todd said not tonight so Tays was frumping and when Todd kissed him goodnight he kissed his eye and he said "I love your eyeball" to which Tayson said "you ONLY love my eyeball and NOT the rest of me" (which Todd claims is something I would say).
