So, Ty has worked lots of nights and to celebrate the end of a week of nights we had a "movie night." Ty popped some popcorn and divided it among bowls and then the kids made their movie selection and we all sat down together. About half way through the movie we noticed Coleson kept sticking his finger clear up his nose...
We told him he should probably get a kleenex if he had boogies in his nose, to which he replied: "but ders a seed in der."
And, there definitely was, but it came out after a few "nose blowing" practices.
A few days later at church, I had them all there a little early because I had some copies to make and we always like to be in our seats early so we can be ready for the meeting to start, but Coleson had gotten into his "quiet time" bag while I was making copies. (I was alone, like a lot of Sundays this past month, by the way...)Normally, I try to make them wait until after the Sacrament to have their own bags, but Coleson had gotten into his and I was able to get him to clean up everything except one last piece of paper that was already covered in stickers from the week before. I decided one piece of paper wasn't worth a fight in church, so he kept it.
All throughout the beginning of the meeting they were sitting quietly but I kept hearing Coleson saying "ARRRrrr, mma pirate." I didn't think much of it becuase he is usually pretending to be a pirate, dinosaur, buzz lightyear, or something and at least his voice was quiet this time.
But, when the sacrament came to our row I lightly nudged him and told him to sit up big and be ready to take the sacrament. Well, to my surprise, he whipped his head around to look at me (and the poor boy passing the sacrament) and his left eye was pinned open by a bunch of stickers. He had stickers all around his eye, and on it, and the sight was slightly shocking because his eye was being pulled in a weird direction and was a little squinty because of the stickers. Coleson also had a very big cheesy grin on his face, because he knew he was funny.
The boy began to giggle, but tried to keep a straight face and be reverent, it was then that I realized the little girl behind us was already covering her mouth and trying not to giggle too loud because she had seen him at work, and Makinzie, who must have watched him the whole time, was covering her mouth too, trying not to laugh too much louder. I couldn't help but laugh...the "ARRRrrr, mma pirate" suddenly made a lot of sense. He had spent the entire first part of church creating an eye patch for himself out of stickers, so that he would look just like a pirate at church!
