In the Olsen household...

Kids stuff:

As I'm pulling out of the driveway Erick points and says, "Mom, you have to get in this path(meaning our lane)".
Me- "You're right Erick."
Erick- "You might hit a car, the policeman will take you away, and I will be sad!"



I woke up to Erick telling on Tripp. When my brain finally processed what was happening, I found out that Tripp had squirted out all of the nasal spray. It's the medicated kind that worked super-awesome when I'm congested. Well, he sprayed it all over the carpet and some onto Adam's clothes, shhh... don't tell him. But this is what happened:

Erick- "Mom, Tripp is playing with that!"
Me- "Huh?"
Erick- "He sprayed it all over the floor."
... Tripp gets in trouble and goes to time out. Several minutes later...
Erick- "He sprayed it all over Daddy's clothes and got them wet."
Me- "Well, why didn't you wake me up!"

I guess he figured he did, but as I was posting it on facebook, I thought about another possibility that I didn't even consider.

Me- "Erick, did Tripp spray it in his nose?!"
Erick- "Yes!"
Me- "Oh! Did he spray it in his mouth?!"
Erick- "Yes!"
Me- "Oh no! Did he do it one time or two times?" (I don't think it tastes very good)
Erick- "Yes, he did it more times!"

I had Tripp sniff for me, and his nose was still snotty so he must not have gotten any in it, because this stuff will dry you right up, but in case he ingested any, I'm hoping that the expiration date of 2007 means that I don't have to rush him to the ER. I'm watching him though, for all who are concerned.



After receiving his trophy for T-ball, Erick points to the plaque where the words describe the organization and rec department and says, "There are words on here. It says, 'I hit the ball'!"



I overheard Tripp and Erick in the hallway:

Erick- "You stinky boy!"
Tripp- "I stink!"
