He really does crack us up.

Over the phone on the way to daycare:
Mason: Hi Daddy! Where are you?
Daddy: I’m at work in Bellevue.
Mason: Ooh, ok! What do you do at work Daddy?
Daddy: I help build airplanes buddy.
Mason: Ooh, ok! Like my airplanes in my room?
Daddy: Well, actually Daddy helps build big airplanes that people ride in.
Mason: Please please Daddy, please daddy build me a big airplane I can ride in.. PLEEEASE!!!
Daddy: Ok buddy. When Daddy makes $300,000,000, I will build you an airplane.
Mason: YEAAAAY!!! Thank you thank you Daddy. Thank you thank you thank you!!!

“When I grow up, I’m going to be daddy. I’m going to push the lawn mower.”

And Daddy thinks that is the right frame of mind already.

I am going back and documenting these funny stories here so that we can capture the silly and incredibly endearing things that Mason says.

There was a monster trying to eat our car this morning, so Mason had to put him in time-out. After the monster’s time-out was over, this was what Mason told the monster, “Monster, you need to stop trying to eat our car. Be a good monster and be nice. Remember to listen and obey your mommy and daddy.” I love his imagination (and the fact that he seems to remember some of the things he is told after his time-outs!)

We are a happy little family.

The boys loved Easter – and they’re so adorable in their little sweater vests. Since Diane doesn’t have a little girl to dress up like a doll, she enjoys getting the boys dressed up for these occasions.

And yes, Mason likes girls and isn’t afraid of cooties.

…again on the way to daycare.  And was completely out of nowhere.

Mason told me this morning, “Mommy, when the crocodile eats you, I’m going to miss you.”
