Where do they get it from?

Okay!  Could someone PLEASE tell me where my children learn the things they do?!?!  Every day I look at them I think, "Where did they learn THAT?"  This includes the funny, smart and incredibly irritating things they do.  Oh, and speaking of making sounds that makes me want to rip my ears off and flush them down the toilet, WHAT'S WITH THE WHINING? I'm pretty sure they did not learn that from me OR Jake.  Now I consider myself a pretty understanding person and I would understand said outbursts if I said, "Hey kids! Would you mind too terribly if I make you eat bugs and sleep in the garbage?" But no...I'm only asking them to stop playing long enough to eat or take a bath when these...."tissy-fits" begin.  What gives?! 

On the opposite side of things, they are FAR smarter than me!  Morgan just turned 4 and she's helping Mason with his homework.  She's picks out small words in the books we read before I can get to them.  The other day Mason asked me why it's called "shoes and socks" when we put the socks on first.  My very sophisticated reply was, "......Uh...."  Although they ask a ton of questions, I love listening to the way they think and process new things.  I love the innocence of their little minds..

On to the funny side of things.  This one I DO know where they learn it.  Morgan LOVES to play hair. More importantly, she loves to play with MY hair.  During this time she likes to be Mommy while I play Morgan. She was trying to put my hair into 3 or 4 pony tails when she said, "Morgan! Hold your head still!  You're drivin' me nuts!" In my defense, my head was perfectly still.  Apparently, she thinks playing the role of "Mommy" is to be short tempered and mouthy.  Note: learning lesson for mom.

Anyway, I love my kids so stinking much.  But where the crap do they learn the things they do?!

Introduction

So at the numerous requests of my friends (and recent blogger hubby, Jake), I have decided to CAVE and create a blog.  I must admit, that I am not so good at the "computer" thing, so I cannot guarantee anything spectacular...so no comments from the peanut gallery!

As you can tell from my title, I am a huge movie fan.  One would think that I would eventually tire from watching hours and hours of cinematic adventures but I just can't bring myself  to stop.  Some of my favorites are Clue, Pride and Prejudice, National Treasure and HELLO.... Princess Bride anyone??? 

Another obsession I have is the Twilight saga.  And yes....I am "one of THOSE" people.  I received the first book last Christmas from Jake. Had he known what he was creating he probably would have buried the book in concrete and dropped in the ocean... if only we LIVED near the ocean.  I've read the series far too many times to count, listened to them on my iPod more times that I will ever admit and seen the movie.....well let's just say I'm still counting!  My entire family and friends know of the obsession and understand that I am beyond help.  They just roll their eyes and tell my I'm helpless when the topic comes up.  I have even turned my children.  I was a very proud "Twilight Mom" when my children started playing "Edward and Bella" the other day.  Mason keeps asking me when I'll take him to see the "vampire movie". In that he's almost 6 he'll just have to wait a bit longer. I am anxiously waiting for the next movie to be released...but I will have to calmly wait until they at least start to film it.  I know I'm a loser and need help, but I I enjoy it way too much! 

Anyway, please be forgiving with this blog as it will pale in comparison to all the others! Have a lovely evening and thanks for your friendships!! =)
