The taco combinations that this kid comes up with never cease to amaze me. Always has to be a corn tortilla and salsa then whatever else. Most recently...corn tortilla, salsa, raw carrots and chipotle pork chop. Just don't give him a piece of bread.

Bowling
We've never ever been bowling together so we figured it would be an appropriate President's Day activity. Schmoo loves bowling on the Wii, so it was time to show him how it is in real life. He was sorely dissapointed that he didn't get any strikes but he says he's willing to give it another try.
Checking out the computer scorekeeping
Our very fashionable shoe trio. I called ahead to make sure they carried size 15 for my honey.
They didn't have those metal ramp thingies, so the best he could do was just to chuck the ball at the lane. This pic makes it look like we were the only ones there but there were quite a few families livin it up at 10am on a Monday morning :)
Honey tried to help him roll it a few times...waiting for the results.
How cute is my bowler!

The Camden Aquarium
Some kind-of-nice, but very strange people (HI SARA!) invited us to go with them to the Camden aquarium last week. They have an amazing season pass that allows for guests and we were happy to that we got to go with them and, bonus, for free! It was the best aquarium I've ever been to!

HIPPOS! Up close and personal! One of the best parts!
There were many touch tanks...here, touch a star :)
Why can't he smile normal?!
Stingray touch tank. Too bad no one wanted to touch them!
Penguins and more abnormal smiles :S
Lots of great viewing areas.
There were so many more things I didn't take pics of because I was too interested in what I was seeing. It was a great outing!

Schmoo drew this pic at school and said that he wants to be a fireman when he grows up. The teacher asked him why he didn't include a firetruck or ladder or hose.
Schmoo replied, "I'm on my lunch break."
His teacher tells us he has great potential in a union :)
In other news, the other day I asked him what he learned about Abraham Lincoln. He INSISTED that the teacher had discoursed on Jon Stewart and not President Lincoln. I asked him a bunch of questions and he reported lots of Lincoln facts but said that it was really Jon Stewart. I pulled the following picture out of his backpack and he said, "Yep, there's good ol Jon Stewart." We have no idea where this kid gets this stuff.

People are dying to get in there!
I was driving Schmoo and his friend home from pre-k today for a play date. We passed a cemetery and "A" declared, "Ooooh there's a graveyard!"
I kinda held my breath because Schmoo has never asked about them and I was wondering what A would say.
A: There's a graveyard! There are lots of dead bodies in there.
Schmoo: Yeah, like Abraham Lincoln.
A: Yeah, and George Washington.
(I'm guessing "Dead Presidents" must be the theme of the week at school :)

A Smart Man
We were playing wii tonight all together and Schmoo really surprised me with his ability at one part in the game.
I exclaimed, "Wow! How did you know to do that right there?"
Without missing a beat (and in a used car salesman voice) Schmoo declared, "A smart man knows what he's gonna do."
Honey and I just died laughing and Schmoo shrugged it off as if everything he says (see previous post!) is full of wisdom.

So here's what the schmoo had to say yesterday:
***Honey asks, "Do you know what fast Sunday is?"
Schmoo: It's where you don't eat anything except children.
(We were laughing for a long time. He was trying to say that adults don't eat anything. Kids can eat.)
*** He saw the lovely flowers I got from primary and says, "That's a beautiful bouquet."
*** We were leaving church and he looked me up and down and says, "Mommy your chest looks like two peanuts in a peanut shell." How do you respond to that? I didn't want to laugh! I did let him know that as a general rule, we don't talk about people's chests. Especially at church.
