Evanisms

Evan really says the funniest things. Just the way he pronounces words and the things he comes up with are hilarious. When Evan is getting ready for bed he likes to know what we are doing the next day. In Evan's words, "What doing tomorrow?". Last night I told him we were going to get the oil changed in the car so it will keeping working. So as we are getting ready to leave this morning, Evan asks, "Getting OREO changed in the car, Mom?". Yes Evan, we are going to the grocery store and picking up a package of oreos for the car so it will keep running! So funny! Around our house we have obviously had oreos on our minds ever since we got Morgan's homemade oreo recipe on Sunday. Rob made some oreos on Sunday and gave most of them away to his young men so I didn't eat them all myself. Then he made them again on Tuesday and after I ate two I decided he needed to give these away also.
I just can't help myself! They are seriously so good. But it made me feel better when Rob took them to school and gave 5 of them to one of his classmates, who drives Rob home a lot, and his classmate ate all 5 for lunch!! He had forgotten his lunch and it was -6 degrees outside so he didn't want to go pick up some lunch. Thus he just had oreos for lunch. I could do the same! If I have tempted you, the recipe is on Morgan's blog. Like Morgan, we also did away with the butter in the filling and we halved the recipe both times we made it. This way we could justify making it twice in 3 days.

Another funny thing Evan has done lately was he attempted to breastfeed Mr Potato Head! I was sitting on the couch nursing Lily and Evan hops up next to me with Mr Potato Head. Evan lifts up his shirt so his belly is showing and I just know what is going to come next. I get Rob's attention and we both start laughing. We scared Evan and foiled his great plan to feed Mr Potato Head. I have heard of girls trying to nurse their dolls, but I guess since we don't have any dolls Evan opted for the next best thing - Mr Potato Head.

Yesterday Evan was walking around with his toy hammer fixing things. Lily sneezed and had some snot on her face. Evan put a mitten on one hand and his hammer in the other and said, "I will fix Lily's nose". I thought, oh no, here he goes hammering Lily's nose. I was curious to see what Evan was going to do with this gloved hand of his so I stayed close but didn't stop him from his "work". Evan takes his hand with the mitten and wipes Lily's nose and says, "It's all fixed.". Yes, we use mittens to wipes noses in the great northern midwest! Really, where did Evan get that idea from?Speaking of winter gear, lately Evan has been taking 2 of my scarfs and laying them on Lily. He calls her a Princess when she has the scarfs drapped all over her. Evan also likes to ask me if he can "scrub Lily" with the scarfs. As if the scarfs are washcloths. Seriously, this kids is entertaining!If you made it this far in this post, thanks for listen to my ramblings. I wanted to document these funny things before I forgot them. I want to be able to tell Evan these stories when he gets older. Here's one more picture of smiling Lily for the grandparents.
