Bones

me- "Why are you so boney?"
Caleb-"Because I have bones on the inside."

Like duh mom what did you think the reason would be...i'm not the million dollar man :P

Hurricane Caleb

After a week of mayhem and destruction left in the path of Hurricane Caleb (poop, puke, paint and predigested oatmeal on the carpet over the course of 1 week) the final straw was Josh busting in the door and ripping the chain from the wall.  Now all of this might not be so bad if I wasn't trying to sell the house and keep it looking nice for all those people who are looking...but not actually buying dangit!!  After chewing Josh out pretty badly, Josh moped for a little bit and then cleaned the whole house.  He came up to me after and said, "Do you know why I cleaned the whole house?  Because I wanted to show you that I was not single handedly trying to destroy the house!"  LOL yes Josh you got me.  I love you to bits :D

Calebisms

singing in the car today..."A, B, C, D, E, F, G...now i know my abc's won't you...wait that's not right...1, 2, 3, DOH!"

eating pizza dinner with his mouth in his plate taking huge bites and not using his hands
Max "Caleb stop eating like a pig!"
Caleb "I'm not eating like a pig...I'm eating like a giant!"

"What the....."  this phrase constantly comes out of his mouth

"Mommy you need to stop playing that game and do your french homework right now!"

Max the cleaning machine

Given the right incentive, I've created a monster.  I didn't have any idea that Max was built to clean, I just had to find what motivates him...Game time.  So with the purchase of a PS3 new rules were instituted.  If they do their chores with out being asked, did extra chores and generally helped around the house they earned time for the game systems. If they have to be asked to do their chores or fail to do them at all they get reduced time or no time at all.  Well Max takes to this like a fish to water and has in the past week turned into the biggest helper I have.  He has earned over 8 hours and it's not even the end of the week.  :D  Wish I had thought of this earlier.
