Belly Water & Shredded Wheat

my kids aren't big milk drinkers. probably got it from me, although i started as an adult. maybe my dad. i've never seen him drink a glass of milk. i try to explain to bentley and bridon all the vitamins and calcium that are in cow's milk (versus bridon's rice milk he used to drink). bentley wants to have strong bones, so he'll usually drink a small glass in the morning. he doesn't like the smell though. he tells me it smells like manure (actually he calls is vanure...he's been spreading it recently with ben). then, the other morning, he asked me why the cows' "belly water" makes you grow bigger?

i have this exercise dvd i've had forever that i do a couple times a week. it is called the 30 day shred by jillian micheals. she is annoying, but i like the workout. bridon just asked me today if my "shredded wheat" video is downstairs or upstairs. he loves his shredded wheat, strawberry cereal. maybe it's stuck in his brain!

i wish i would write down and remember more of all the things that they say that literally crack me up! from bentley's way he pronounces 'cheddernuts' that i have him go get for salads downstairs, to bridon's purple birthday cake he wants with fire on top, just 'tuz'...it's too much sometimes! :)
