Lincoln Quotes Again!

L: Mama, Daddy's going to open this box for me!
M: I can do it, Lincoln. Hand me the (closed) pocket knife.
L: No, Mama. This tool is for Daddies. Not for Mamas. You can't use it."

Bennett and Lincoln are playing "sleep" (best game ever-they just lay in bed and pretend to sleep). Bennett gets up to leave. Lincoln-"Beebs, are you going to go downstairs?" Beebs-"uh" Lincoln-"Ok. I will not miss you." Bennett leaves, walks into the hall, turns around and goes back into Lincoln's room. Lincoln-"Beebs, I love you. Do you want to share the covers?"

Waking up in the middle of the night: "Mama, where is the hair book you got me at the haircut store?"

Taking a sticker off B's arm. 

L: Beebs wants to trade! 

Me: are you sure? It looked like you just took it.... 

L: Yep. 

Me: Well, what are you going to give him for the trade? 

L: Um, Beebs could have..... a shoe!

L: Daddy, what's this? (grabs his crotch)

D: Ummm, that would be your scr*tum.

L: My grout? My grout! My grout! My grout!

D: Not grout. Scr*tum.

(10 minutes later)

L: Daddy, that's my walrus?

Lincoln went through a phase where after every bath or any time he was getting dressed, he would look at us out of the corner of his eye and slyly ask, "Do you want to see something new? Just take a look!" He would then expose himself while shouting, "PEN#S and GROUT" as loud as he could. Crossing our fingers we don't have a flasher in the making...

(Note: the above words have symbols in them because I don't want my blog showing up in search results for any weirdos out there)

Bennett comes to the back door completely covered in dirt. 

Me: Bennett! How did that happen! 

B: uh. 

Me: Lincoln, how did Bennett get so dirty?? 

Lincoln: Oh! I was just tossing dirt on him. That's how.

I am in the kitchen listening to the boys play in the backyard and hear Lincoln say, "Open your mouth wider, Beebs. I can't fit all the dirt in." :X

(After a day full day of Halloween activities)...Me: Lincoln, we are going to make our pumpkin pizza, then get our costumes on, then go trick-or-treating for Halloween! L: HALLOWEEN! I didn't know it was Halloween! (Looks out the back window). Look, Mama....people are driving on Halloween! hahahahaha!"

More Lincoln Quotes

According to Lincoln, here is how you make fire: gravel, concrete, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Then you call the fire department and say, "Come put out the fire!"

Me: Hey Lincoln, are you hungry? Want something to eat?
Lincoln: Ummmm, probably candy.

Lincoln: Mama, I want a 'nola bar in here now.
Me: Can you ask me in a nicer way?
Lincoln: Please and yes, mama. Mama, have a good day!
Me: Ok. I guess that works...

Lincoln has been writing a lot of songs lately. Two favorites:

Stinky Feet
by Lincoln

Stinky feet. Probably not! Stinky feet. Probably not! Stinky feet. Probably not!

Variation:
Stinky feet. Going up to the space station! Stinky feet. Going up to the space station!

Walls
by Lincoln

Hooked together! Hooked together! Hooked together!
Walls are made out of bricks!
Walls are made out of glue!
Walls are made out of pictures!
Walls are made out of sewing machines!
Walls are made out of grass!
Walls are made out of toys!
Walls are made out of cans!

(this song is best sung while running around in circles on a bed)

What Bennett is thinking:
Lincoln likes to interpret what he thinks Bennett is saying (whether Bennett actually said anything or not). Here are some favorites (note: Lincoln calls Bennett "Bebo" almost exclusively now...):

• Mama! Bebo said, "I want to get on the fan and spin around!"
• Bebo said, "I want to climb up the door and fall off."
• Bebo said, "I want to take a bath and splash around."
• While I was chopping bell peppers for dinner: Mama, Bebo just said, "I want to get in that pepper and sweep all the dirt out!" (????)
• Mama, Bennett just said, "I want to get in the microwave and warm up."
• While watching the Cookie Monster spoof of "Call Me Maybe" on YouTube: Bebo said, "I want to get in the computer and dance with those people!"

Lincoln's Current Favorite Songs:

Lincoln: What that is on your arm?

Lincoln: How'd you get an owie?

Having a dance party, Lincoln announced, "I'm shaking my booty! Now it's a real party!"

From the Mouths of Squirrels

Lincoln was watching a video on the Kindle about a toucan. It was singing, "I'm a toucan....so are you!" Lincoln leaned in to the screen and whispered, "No. I a squirrel." Later in the song, the toucan sang, "I have a beak...and wings, too" and Lincoln replied, "No, no, no...I furry."


Me: Lincoln, what's Daddy's name?
L: Lucas.
Me: What's Mama's name?
L: Mama Squirrel

On a walk around the neighborhood, we saw 2 squirrels running around a yard.
Me: Look, Lincoln, squirrels!
L: Like us!


It has come to our attention that Bennett is no longer a squirrel. He is now a ghost (and is referred to as "Bennett Ghost" or sometimes just "Ghost.")


I have also just been informed that Lucas is not a squirrel either. He is now Daddy Monster, or "Monster" for short.


Looks like there are just 2 squirrels left in the house. Huh.


Lincoln fell and skinned his knee recently. He was complaining about it hurting one morning, so I offered to turn on a show to "take his mind off the owie" for a little bit. He burst into tears and said, "I don't want to take my mind off. I just want to weave it on."

Lincoln got his class picture from MDO. I asked him to name all his friends. It went a little something like this: Rowan (not Rowan), Lincoln, Rowan (actually Rowan), Rafael (yep), Rafael (nope), Rafael (no again), Rafael (still no), Rafael (no), Rafeal (wrong), Ayano (yes!), Rafael (and no), Rafael (sigh), and Ethan (yay!!). Apparantly, Lincoln thinks over half his classmates, including the girls, are name Rafael. Interesting, and mostly weird.


Bennett just tackled Lincoln, who responded by screaming, "MAMA! He's trying to take my skeleton apart!" Hahahahahaha!
