Chicago

I haven't posted in a while about the awesomeness of Vanderbilt so I thought I'd share reason 23 why Vanderbilt is great. Shawn got an email today informing him that he would be attending an orthopaedic conference in Chicago sometime in August. Can I tell you how jealous I am right now?! I've never been to Chicago but all I have ever heard about it is how much fun it is. We've actually entertained the idea of me tagging along and sightseeing while Shawn gets to listen to people lecture about bones (snooze). Only problem is I'd be a little intimidated going out and about by myself, oh yeah and we have these 3 kids that need some sort of supervision. So does anyone want to a) tag along with me and eat innumerable amounts of Chicago style pizza or b) watch my adorable, wonderful, sweet, although sometimes crazy kids while I have fun? Just thought I'd ask. Even if I stay home which is what will happen its still really cool and I'm excited for Shawn.

Funky Sayings

When I asked Graham who was in charge today he raised his hand and said, "me"
As I was putting Graham down for a nap he looked up and said, "Me not tired EVER." Nice try.
On the way home from a mother/son activity I was asking Devin a few questions and I guess he had enough because he finally said, "Mommy can you not talk to me right now?"
When Shawn walked passed the kids coloring today he overheard Devin say, "I"m coloring a machine and it poops, and poops." Boys will be boys I guess.
Caroline says to me today, "How about we go shopping just the two of us while dad is on vegitation." Me, "You mean vacation?" Caroline, "Oops, yeah."
Yesterday Caroline asked if Graham was made of plastic. In response Devin said, "No he's made of boy."
As we were sitting down to enjoy some chocolate chips Devin said, "I like chocolate chips, they make me feel good."
Devin was in his room for a time out. When I opened the door to talk to him he ran over slammed the door in my face and said, "I'm not ready to talk yet." He's good at expressing his feelings.
A few days ago when I called Devin by his full name (Devin Michael) he looked at me and said, "No me Michael, me Devin." He's funny.
When I told Devin he needed to share his toy with Caroline he replied, "But I love it." Apparently he thought that meant he didn't have to share it. Sorry kid.
