Seven says, part 6

Here’s a few funny thing’s Seven’s said over the last couple weeks.

Tony calls his beer “nectar of the gods” whenever Seven asks if it’s juice. Now Seven’s calling it “neck of the dog!”

About a week ago, Seven said his first and last name when I asked him what his name was. I was surprised because I hadn’t taught him his last name and wondered who had. A couple nights ago, on our way home from daycare, I asked him again:
Me: What’s your name?
Seven: Seven!
Me: No, your full name, first and last.
Seven: Seven…eleven!

The following conversation I’m going to quote in full because the whole thing was humorous to me. We were in the car driving home from daycare (different day than above exchange):
Seven: Look at that moon!
Me: (thinking he’s talking about the sun in front of us as we drive west) That’s not the moon, buddy, that’s the sun.
Seven: No, mommy, that’s my moon!
I look and see he really is pointing at the moon.
Me: Oh, what kind of moon is that?
Seven: Crescent moon. (pause) I go up there to my moon, Mommy!
Me: Oh yeah? You’re gonna go to the moon?
Seven: Yeah!
Me: If you go up to the moon that would make you an astronaut.
Seven: as-tro-naut.
Me: Do you want to be an astronaut when you grow up?
Seven: Yeah, astronaut…..rock star!

Seven Says, part 5

Seven was full of humorous quotes today!

We were talking about all the sounds made by different animals and he got most of them right until he said “duckie goes crap crap!”

He was asking for some juice and said “pretty please with squinkles on top?”

And just now Tony said he was going to get a Philly cheese steak and Seven said “belly cheese neck!”

My favorite is the squinkles on top…

As I was driving in to work this morning, I was thinking about what I’d like to write about today. I thought I might do a post listing all of the things I miss about living in San Francisco, but I know it’s not healthy for me to dwell on the things I don’t have. For better or worse, I’m in Arizona now, at least for a few more years.  So instead of focusing on all the things I dislike about living here, I’m going to try to think of 5 good things about Arizona.

1. It’s beautiful

Phoenix is surrounded by interesting looking mountains and has some of the best sunrises and sunsets I’ve seen in my life. If I need to be surrounded by trees, Prescott is a short drive away, and of course Sedona and the Grand Canyon provide plenty of mind-blowing scenery. And although I like to complain about Phoenix not having a “real” downtown (unlike San Francisco) I have nothing bad to say about the amazing view from my office building:

Hello Blogosphere!(I’ve missed you)

// May 20th, 2009 // No Comments » // Uncategorized

After a haiatus of almost three years, I’ve decided to start blogging again. There were a lot of major life changes which led me to abandon the blog I’d been keeping for over four years. Now, though, I miss writing about my life regularly and I think it was good for me. I’d also like to write about my kids more so that years from now, I will have memories of how they were when they were little – they change and grow up so quickly and I don’t want to forget anything!

So I bought this domain and built this little page – there’s not a whole lot here yet, but you can check out my About page, my Photo Albums, or my social media pages in the sidebar on the right. I don’t have a whole lot of free time these days, but I’m going to try my best to update at least once a week. Thanks for reading!
