Ethan'isms

Today was a busy day. Kids were everywhere! You can definitely tell summer has arrived at our house. The door is constantly opening and kids are coming in and playing....today especially for some reason. The boys were playing in the basement when our neighbor's daughter came over to play. She joined the boys in the basement and about an hour later, our other neighbor's daughter came to play. Katheryn then came home from a sleepover with her friend and then joined up with the neighbor's other daughter and played here at our house. A little while passed and the doorbell rings. It's Madison's mom Heidi, w/a snack for Madison. Heidi and I start to chat in the kitchen and the doorbell rings. It's Brian's friend Kyle with his mom Danielle and 7 month old baby brother Sawyer. Danielle joins Heidi and I in the kitchen and we're chit chatting until Ethan comes up the basement stairs and sees Sawyer. With much excitement he says, "what is that?! Can we keep it?!" We mom's started laughing so hard, it was so funny. Then a while later, everyone left. Brian went with Kyle to play at his house and Ethan was so upset that he was left at home stuck with me. He then went outside to entertain himself and came back into the house minutes later with exciting news. Our conversation went like this: Ethan: Mommy, I found a lightning bug! Me: You did? Ethan: Yeah, it's dead. It's a dead lightning bug! Me: Ethan, throw it away or take it back outside. Ethan: Why? Me: Because I don't want it inside the house. Throw it away. Ethan: No, I want to keep it -- it doesn't poop!
