How frustrating!

Yesterday I overheard my kids having this conversation in the bathtub. It went like this.

Joren: "Die"
Eirik: "What kind of dinosaur?"
Joren: "Die"
Eirik: "What kind of dinosaur?"
Joren: "Die"
Eirik: "What kind of dinosaur?"
Joren: "Die"
Eirik: "What kind of dinosaur?"
Joren: "Die"
Eirik: "What kind of dinosaur?"
Joren: "Die"
Eirik: "WHAT KIND OF DINOSAUR??????"
Joren: "DIIIIIIE WA WA WA WA AHHHHHHH!"

The poor kids could not figure out a better way to ask each other the question.
I went and got all their dinosaurs in a big tub and put them in the bath with them which immediately solved the problem.










These pictures are from when my parents came to visit for graduation. We took them to Lake Erie Metro Park. Yes, Joren is in the water with his shoes on. Of course he is. :)

Eirik: "I need raisin bran and pepperoni. Dad, do you like pepperoni in your cereal? I love it!"

Eirik: "Mom, my naked name is Rock; Rock-a doodle." (nickname)

It's so funny that the boys are into dinosaurs now. It was right around the same age where Paul became totally obsessed with dinosaurs too. He had dinosaur bed sheets and books galore. We would talk for hours over which dinosaur was each others favorite. Paul would tell everyone that he was going to be a Paleontologist when he grew up. Like father like sons.

I'll be seeing you guys soon. I'm coming with to UTAH!!

This sounds like a very important discussion. I'm so glad you were able to help them resolve it.
