Lessons in logic with Emry Adysson

If you read this blog then you know little Emry Adysson is quite the practical thinker. No outside thinking for this one.
A few days ago we were driving around town and Emry was staring out the window deep in thought..finally she asked a question and the most hilarious conversation ensued.
Em: "Mom, do squirrels poop?"
Me: "Um, yes"
Em: "Does everything poop?"
Me: "yes"
Em: "Do flowers poop?"
Me: "uh no, plants don't poop silly"
Em: "Then what poops?"
Me: "uh...everything that moves"
Em: "Does our van poop?"
(okay, i'm like really laughing by now, this girl!)
Me: "nope, good point, our van does not poop."
Em: "So what poops mom?"
Me: "You tell me Em..."
Em: "EVERYTHING WITH A BUTT MOM!"
(she said this with that total DUH! voice that only children can do)

I mean seriously, it was a battle of wits and I lost...to a four year old. It killed me. Pardon the excessive use of the word poop, we don't really believe in good manners around here. heehee!

Adventures with Reaganizer and Em-deezy

Mailey started school this Monday, and I really should be blogging about it...but when I finally do it I know I will cry and cry just typing through that day. It was surprisingly, waaaaaaayyy more emotional for me than I had expected...but look for it tomorrow k? SO! instead...here's a fun little video of Emry and Reagan rough housing during the day. They're becoming so much closer now that Em doesn't have Mailey to play with....definitely bitter sweet.

And I'm free....This one's for Emry Adysson.

I have a few songs on my phone that play like an mp3 player and there are some really fun colbie caillet ones, the song "we go together" off of the grease soundtrack, a few john legends...but the one Emry always goes to and begs to listen to over and over and over is...
Tom Petty-Free fallin.
My little rockstar. I love you.
(these boys do a really slammin job. although i sorta want to show them what a shower is and maybe suggest getting rid of the ol' hitler-esque mustache yeah? but all that aside...You gotta see a video of Emry rocking out to this song...I'll try to get one..)

Emry turned 3 and Reagan's Bionic!!!

So..this is late late late. Sigh. But on December 3rd, little Emry Addyson turned 3 years old!!! It was so cute...John had that friday off, and so her day began with breakfast with daddy...they got bundled up and headed out into the rain to get waffles at the breakfast buzz.

Then after breakfast they day presumed as usual...then that evening we headed out to redding to run wild at Chuck E Cheese!!! (we have one in chico but I swear its secretly a place where very bad people come to sell things on the black market and shoot up meth..I kid you not.)
Redding has a very new Chuck E cheese and our kids were mesmerized. So was I. By the hoards of people and screaming children. Really. I couldn't even focus. ha.

The obligatory play structure chaos...

Where Mailey forgot to stay with Emry so I paced frantically under the structure trying to figure out where Emry was shrieking for help from..good times ya'll. good times.

And Reagan devoured an entire piece of pizza while staring shamelessly at all the wild things running a muck. 

And sadly thats all the photos I got from Chuck's (you like that? I condensed it ha) because my camera was dead and my phone had a dying battery...yikes...I really need to step up my A-game. (does anyone know what that EVEN means?!)
And then we had a little lunch and cake after church on sunday ( I'd post more, but it turned out to be a pretty sad day..and then a very good one, but not how I expected and I don't care to embellish. sorry!!!)

And in other news! Reagan is bionic. I'm convinced she's like secretly injecting herself with steroids..okay thats gross, but seriously, this kid is SO physically advanced!!! She started walking between furniture and taking a few steps WEEKS before she turned nine months, and then the week after she turned nine months she was off!!! Its weird!! Mailey walked the week before she turned ten months, so technically it was nine but mostly ten if you get what i'm saying...then Emry walked the week of her first birthday...so Reagan, well, she takes the cake! Here's a quick video from yesterday! She's even standing from a sitting position!!! holy cow!!! this kid is crazy!!! (yes she likes to play with electrical sockets, yes she got shocked last week. no I will not go buy covers for the sockets...I really really can't control the angry feeling that overtakes my good senses when I need to plug something in and can't flaming pry the stupid thing out..alas..my kids will have bad memories from their childhood of being shocked out of their wits...sadly it doesn't phase my cold cold heart.)

I love you more than...

My girls and I have this fun little game...randomly throughout the day I'll tell one of them, " I love you more than..." and insert something I really really love. It usually consists of food items or stores etc...Mailey usually loves me more than chocolate milk, which is a pretty strong contender of her affection. Emry usually picks cheerios...but this morning...well this morning was a little different.

Me: I love you more than flowers!
E: I love you more than...
M: more than....
E: GOING POOP!

uh...WHAT?!?!? I mean, I'm definitely glad I rank higher than dropping off the cosby kids but good golly. Of course this resulted in giggles all around, which was unfortunate, because that gave Emry the notion I want to be told that more often. So now, every minute or so, I hear, I love you  more than poo mama!
Thanks love. Really. Thanks so much.
