25 random things of my kids

So I had much more fun than expected doing the Facebook 25 random things, that I decided to do it on my kids. Here goes:

Thatcher
1. Favorite current saying is, "Ah dang it!" This is in response to any golf swing or ball throw - good or bad.
2. Loves to golf. Real with us, or in the backyard.
3. LOVES his cousin Katie. He would opt for her over anyone else. Ever.
4. Loves motorcycles - although not real, they're too loud - and helicopters, cars, and of course, fire trucks.
5. Actually really enjoys playing with Gretchen's polly pockets and pet shops!
6. Is really good at walking in high heeled dress up shoes.
7. Tells us, "Ewwwww, bum" when he wants his diaper changed.
8. Would watch tv all day if he could.
9. Is virtually always sweaty. The first sign is the beads of sweat on his nose.
10. He isn't very shy. When we are walking through grocery stores he often says, "Hi guy."
11. Loves to clean and help with laundry.
12. Typically requests to go to bed to have his "two nummies."
13. Dislikes black dogs. He kinda freaks out!


Gretchen
1. Grows about 4 inches every month - mostly in her legs.
2. LOVES to draw and makes notes. I think she makes about 15 a day. Literally. She already 'made' all of her valentines for school - without any help or initiation from me. That's way too far in advance for me!
3. Is slow to warm up to pretty much everything. Unless it involves sugar.
4. Loves sugar.
5. Loves sugar.
6. Is learning to read and add and 'take away'!
7. Likes to argue about pretty much everything. We continually threaten and try to reason. It helps often times. Other times I merely call Chris and make him give her a 'talking to' on the phone. She actually responds pretty well to this - she's getting pretty big to drag to the cold shower!
8. Loves her cousin Sydney. I think she says her name about 15 times a day, and at least 12 of the 15 notes she makes are for her!
9. Screamed and pitched fits through 3+ summers of swimming lessons. I am hoping this has finally been beaten out of her.'
10. Screams and pitches fits a lot. My mom recently labeled her as 'high maintenance.' I think this fits perfectly!
11. She can be overly sweet and helpful. Just not very often. Although the naughtiness is pretty much reserved for us parents - her primary teacher recently told me how she is the perfect example in class!
12. Was one of the fattest babies ever. She tripled her birth weight by six months.
13. Has recently reverted to the non stop questions including things such as, "why are you using a spoon to eat that (cereal)" and "why" "why" and "why" some more. I think I might be going a bit MORE looney.

So I'm not sure that's quite as fun as getting to know my friends more, but it kinda is. Have a good day.
