Kids

This is what we do when my parents are in Hawaii.

I really love them.

Butts and Warts at Dinner

It's ridiculous how much I love my family. I have a 7 year old brother that says some funny stuff. I love dinner time because we all talk about our day. Every night without fail we have some of the most awkward conversation a person could imagine.

For example:

It was my turn to talk about my day. I started with the test I aced in wood shop today. Everyone said yay, good job, ect. My mom had me bring a cutting board to school today so I could cut it to the right size and that gave my dad the idea to get a cutting board that he had made my mom from its permanent spot in the cupboard (it's too pretty to scratch up, according to my mom). It was looking a little dull so pops decided to get the old and shine it up with some napkins. Trying to be all smarty pants and funny I said, "Hey Matt, do you know what that joint is called holding the pieces of wood together? No? It's called a butt joint." *giggles* "Ya, it's even spelled B-U-T-T." *more giggles* Then my mom chimed in, "Because it looks like a butt crack..." *laughs* And then we started making silly comparisons of a butt crack and a cutting board.

-Dad is wiping it, heheh!

-Dad is oiling it like a baby's bottom, teehee!

-It's brown, ohohoh!

-Mom likes to keep it hidden, haha!

Just stuff like that. Matthew was laughing so hard. You can't help but smile when that kid is happy.

Secondly, I have a nasty wart on my foot, nasty I know. So I told my mom we need to do something about it and that got Matthew going on the wart he had to freeze off once. Then out of no where he said, "Today at school, so-and-so told me that his brother's friend has warts on his....." and then he turned red and looked at his crotch. I looked at my parents and we all busted up while Anika was shocked and Matthew was embarrassed. Matthew thought his friend was lying and that couldn't happen so we proceeded to explain, briefly, genital warts. Lovely dinner conversation, I know.

Also, I made us all piña coladas. Soooooo yummy.

My family rules.

He Cracks Me Up

So, my brother, Matthew, is kind of a crazy kid.

He says a lot of hilarious things.

He also has this problem where he holds his little bladder until the very last minute.

Yesterday, he was walking home with his friends.

Their house is left, our house is right.

He turned right to cross the street and

...

according to him

...

he couldn't take one more step else he'd wet his pants.

Even though our house was about 10 seconds away.

So what did he do?

Found a nice spot to drop his britches.

The gutter.

Right on the corner of our street,

for all passerby's to see,

was my little brother taking a leak into the drain.

I dunno where the crap he gets it from.

But I kinda like it.

Matthew-isms

All little people are cute and funny.

But I must say I have the cutest and funniest one there is.

Matthew.

He says something that makes me laugh every day.

Here is a collection of Facebook posts from this year 

all about Matthew.

(My favorite ones are in green)

Dec. 24 - (Dad) Matthew: "If Jesus were my dad, he'd take me to Chuck E. Cheese's, why won't you?"

Jan. 12- (Mom) Matthew just came out of the bathroom saying, "Gross. Very gross." I asked what he was talking about and he said, "Pee...Pee just got in my eye." I said that he must be kidding and he said he wasn't. So I asked how in the world that happens. He said, "I was shaking it and it flicked up into my eye."

Feb. 21- Me: Matt are you gonna be a wrestler or a basketball player?

Matt: Neither. 

Me: What then? 

Matt: Ninja

Feb. 22- (Mom) Matthew just woke up and I said, "Good morning. Did you have a good sleep?" He said, "Yes. But I didn't have a good computer game because I haven't got to play one yet."

Feb. 27- (Mom) We were talking about how Easter changes dates every year. Anika asked why? I told her that it had something to do with the moon. Matthew says, "I know. It's so that there is a full moon so that the Easter Bunny can see at night."

March 19- Me: I'm thinking of something that starts with a G.     
Matthew: G-sus?

March 25- (Dad) Matthew's prayer last night: "Please bless Japan, that she will recover goodly."

March 28- Matthew: Why would anyone burn the US flag?

Dad: Some people don't like America
Matthew: I don't understand why they wouldn't like America. Oh wait, yes I do. It gets cold here sometimes

April 2- Matthew: I don't like carnivores. 

Mom: Why not?

Matthew: Because they eat people.

Mom: I think you mean cannibals.

April 5- Matthew: Did you know that Katie has had almost 100 kisses in her life?

Mom (shocked and surprised): She has? Did she tell you this?

Matthew: No. I gave them to her. Do you want 100 kisses too?

Mom (very relieved): Maybe later. I'm making dinner right now.

April 19- Me: Hey mom how do you spell immaculate?

Matt: M-A-T-T-H-E-W

Me: Immaculate, not Matthew!

Matt: Oh.....

*hugs me and runs off*

April 22- (Mom) The tooth fairy came and Matthew was very excited! He said, "I know what I want to do with my dollar. Donate it to Mr. Dickson's babies (a teacher at his school who had premie twins). This dollar is special but people are more special than money." 

April 24- (Mom) Matthew and I were talking about the easter bunny this morning. He was wondering where the easter bunny lives. He thought about it for a few seconds and said, "I know...Easter Island!" 

April 27- (Mom) Anika asked me, "What is the opposite of hazel?" Matthew blurted out, "Gretel!" 

May 4- (Dad) Matthew wore his Darth Vader shirt to celebrate Star Wars Day.

May7- (Mom) Matthew picked a bunch of wildflowers and used duct tape to hold the bouquet together.

May 9- (Mom) Matthew planted a jelly bean on Easter morning. He has been watering it and watching it ever since. This morning he said (in a very disappointed voice). "I guess my jelly bean tree isn't going to grow."

I love this kid.

Larson-Radcliffe Love

(I'm still learning the video stuff...heads up:)

Also, sorry I'm so darn wiggly!

The Radcliffes came over tonight.

PARTY!

Ohh we have such a grand time.

Adults: Cards

Children: Dress Up

Matthew to his friend Darth Vader:

"We need a girl to fight over."

Anne: "Matthew what do you guys need??"

Darth Vader: "Uhhh...three people in the game!"

I don't know where they come up with what they say,

but I love it!!

He's the silliest boy I know.

The Adventures of Super Matthew!

This is the best discovery ever!

I plugged in Anika's ipod to find that she and Matthew had done some voice acting.

It makes me laugh.

I love my little siblings so.

(p.s. this is the first video I've ever made in my life)

Sorry if it's silly!
