My ten things in no particular order are: Jacob's jokes, Jeffrey's attitude, Seth's sayings, my friend Mindy, being called "boss", chatting on the computer with someone who is in the same room, the cartoon Phineas and Ferb, Jimmy Fallon/John Stewart, urban dictionary, and listening to Jacob and Jeffrey make plans.
Jacob and Jeffrey make me laugh all the time! Jacob loves to tell jokes. He can memorize and retell a joke after only hearing it once or twice. He loves to make people laugh. Jeffrey cracks me up when he gets a little attitude. My parents say he looks just like me when he does it. He puts his hands on his hips and says something like "you better be nice right now or you gonna have to go time out!" Kids really are little mirrors. Sometimes it is fun to see the reflection, other times we see things we maybe need to change. Jeffrey's attitude, like my own, will be his best and worst feature. The two of them together are hilarious when they make plans. They have big ideas. I hope they stay as close and friendly as they are right now.
Seth can be really funny! He has a lot of great one-liners. It cracks me up when he claims to have coined a phrase that we hear on a movie. My friend Mindy is really funny too. We have had some many great times together it is hard to pick out one to describe. She is just the kind of person that makes everything fun. She has a really great personality. She is loud, fun, caring, outgoing, silly, and I love her.
I don't get called boss very often, but it cracks me up every time!
When you have kids it is sometimes hard to have conversations with your spouse. Jacob and Jeffrey are always listening and constantly asking us, "what you guys talking about?" Our solution has been for each of us to have our own laptops and have conversations via g-talk, or on facebook. It makes me lol, a lot.
In the evening and on weekends we watch a cartoon called Phineas and Ferb quite often. We all really like this show. The songs are great, and the dialogue is hilarious. It is great that they make a show that appeals to all of us. We all enjoy something different about it.
Jimmy Fallon and John Stewart are just plain funny. We watch these shows in the tivo timezone after the boys go to bed. I love when Jimmy Fallon slow jams the news. It is really great when it is so funny that they can't do it with a straight face. John Stewart is smart and so very funny.
Urban dictionary is very useful, and a lot of fun to just browse. Seth and I had fun reading through it together on Saturday while the boys were napping. We laughed at most of the definitions in there.
Life is so much fun most of the time! It is never perfect, but we can laugh and make the best of what we have. It is good to sit back and reflect on the little things that make us smile every day.
