thinks it's a little funny that Seamus hid all of his important toys under his covers last night because Liam was expecting the tooth fairy "and you know how fairies can get".
January 5, 2011 12:08 am
Seamus "I know I didn't eat my dinner but if you give me pudding now I promise to eat my dinner tomorrow."
December 30, 2010 1:03 pm
Liam:"Seamus here's a trivia question for you. How many days are in the month of April?" Seamus:"Ahhhhh pumpkin?"
December 27, 2010 12:15 am
Seamus misunderstood my explanation of "The Sound of Music" and now believes that Nuns are trying to take over the world.
December 22, 2010 11:37 pm
having a bit of trouble convincing Liam that he's not going to second grade after the holiday.
December 22, 2010 1:32 pm
While I was in the shower Seamus ate sugar out of the sugar bowl. His nursery school is going to LOVE us today.
December 22, 2010 12:04 am
Listening to Seamus trying to hide on me and laugh. Then he says to himself "I'm trying to hide on my mom but by accident I keep laughing."
December 21, 2010 1:24 pm
Yes Liam I NOW realize your name rhymes with "dumb". There is nothing I can do about it. I'll tell Seamus to stop.
December 19, 2010 2:38 am
Seamus to Liam "Yes I know that Saxton and Maddox are taller then me but I think they eat vegetables and it's just not worth it to me."
December 18, 2010 8:21 pm
Seamus: "Mom, Liam is yelling at me because I'm annoying!"
December 16, 2010 10:56 pm
This is what it sounds like at our house right now. Laugh, Laugh "OWWWWW!" "sorry" laugh, laugh, laugh "OWWWW".
December 14, 2010 12:03 am
Saying "I'm sorry dummy" when you get in trouble for calling someone dumb is not getting you off the naughty list.
December 10, 2010 10:05 pm
Seamus, while sitting at my desk watching a movie on my computer, fell asleep and landed head first in my waste paper basket.
December 9, 2010 9:56 pm
No Seamus I asked you to be more tolerant, not more Italian. I know you can't be more Italian.
December 8, 2010 12:37 pm
Ugh. Seamus just told me that I'm "fluffy".
December 7, 2010 3:11 pm
Liam:"Mom why are all those soldiers on the green?" Me:"Because it's the anniversary of when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor." Liam:"Did she die mom?" Me:"Who Liam?" Liam:"Pearl, when they attacked her did she die?"
December 7, 2010 2:08 am
Nothing ends a night like having a micro-bead pillow explode in a child's bed.
December 6, 2010 11:30 pm
Listening to the boys setting up the manger. I should help but am having too much fun listening to the commentary.
December 5, 2010 2:07 pm
Seamus says he doesn't want Christmas this year. "It's too stressful, all this behaving!!"
November 29, 2010 11:56 am
Seamus just told me "I'm going to hide from Daddy behind your giant butt."
November 26, 2010 8:07 pm
Daniel: "well at least he's eating his greens"
November 22, 2010 11:59 am
Liam declared that he is not going to school and is going to be parent pick-up. I think he needs to think about that a little first.
November 18, 2010 10:36 pm
Seamus : "Mom since it's almost Thanksgiving can you leftover my dinner? I can't eat it."
November 18, 2010 4:36 pm
it's hard to get anything done with Seamus running around naked, wearing Buzz Lightyear gloves, shooting me with a toy drill.
November 16, 2010 3:38 pm
Seamus wants to change his name to Seamus Brought to You By Toy Story 3
November 16, 2010 1:03 pm
Seamus had to rip my paper because he "was very, very upset" because Liam "tagganized" him.
November 14, 2010 12:56 pm
Everyone had a great time last night. Even Seamus who said he was going to "sleep through the hockey portion of the evening."
November 13, 2010 5:44 pm
Seamus: "Mom I accidentally got naked"
November 9, 2010 12:39 pm
No Seamus Peapod isn't bringing us food today because we are poor. I'm just busy, we still have to pay for the food.
November 7, 2010 10:16 pm
I just told Seamus that tomorrow is picture day and asked what he wanted to wear and he said "A cute shirt, I'm told you have to wear a cute shirt for picture day....can I wear cute pants too?" Surprisingly this is of no help to me.
November 5, 2010 8:13 pm
Liam: "I really thought our last name was Callen but it's not spelled anything like that"
November 3, 2010 12:10 pm
Parent pick-up is when I pick you up from school. When I drive you to school it's called parent drop-off. I don't know why this is so hard to remember.
November 2, 2010 12:00 pm
Seamus just overheard me reminding Ger that today is garbage day and shout "oooo that sounds fun, how do we celebrate THIS holiday?"
October 29, 2010 5:08 pm
Calling me a "not dummy" is not really any better then just calling me a dummy. Nice try though Seamus, now enjoy your time out.
October 26, 2010 2:26 pm
finds it hard to believe that you accidentally colored your feet with 4 different colored markers.
October 25, 2010 12:48 pm
aaaannnnnddd the dog ate my breakfast!
October 24, 2010 12:43 pm
You want chicken for breakfast???? Oh alright.
October 20, 2010 5:15 pm
just does not think candy corn sandwiches are a good idea....sorry.
October 20, 2010 11:55 am
Liam: "Mom I really want to stop bullies but I got punched in the stomach on the bus yesterday and I was wearing a Yankee shirt. If I wear purple today I am toast." I'm not sending him in purple today but I will wear double purple so that one day a boy d
October 19, 2010 5:40 pm
Seamus says that Zachary's mom makes peanut butter and jelly sandwiches into boat shapes and that this is the proper way of serving this sandwich. He suggested that I contact her for lessons.
October 19, 2010 12:35 pm
if I'm late for my PTO meeting it's because Seamus' enormous head is stuck halfway in his shirt.
October 18, 2010 10:56 pm
Me: "Wow, we beat the mailman...no mail yet." Seamus: "Did we beat her 2 to nothing?"
October 18, 2010 9:26 pm
so much for that teeth cleaning. Just caught Seamus eating out of the sugar bowl.
October 17, 2010 11:03 pm
Me "It's on channel seven eighty eight Seamus." Seamus "I can find the 7 no problem but the 88 is giving me some trouble."
October 17, 2010 12:35 pm
Dear Liam. Daddy and I do not find it funny that you are able to throw a ball into the foyer light. We spent half the night trying to fish it out because it was melting to the lightbulb and smoking. We used all of Dad's engineering skills (but Mommy go
October 16, 2010 2:34 am
Liam just saw George Washington at the Yankee game. I think he needs a history lesson.
October 15, 2010 12:05 pm
Had to wake Seamus up as he was having a horrible, screaming nightmare. What was the dream about? A lady gave him a candy corn (which he loves) and before he could eat it she put chocolate on it (which he does not like). Very upsetting. He woke up shaking
October 14, 2010 11:16 pm
Liam was playing checkers with a friend today and he said he lost even though the game had to end before it was over. We asked how he knew he lost then. He said it was easy, they were in the 6th inning and he was behind. It's a legal game after 5 innin
October 13, 2010 11:12 pm
Just got home from baseball and Liam asks "how many people have they gotten out of the can now?". After a bit of confusion it seems he's asking how many miners have been rescued.
October 8, 2010 6:46 pm
Liam believes he just found a spot in our house that has no gravity.
October 8, 2010 2:45 pm
Can't go to the party store to get supplies for Ger's birthday because, according to Seamus, they decorate the party store with monsters for Ger's birthday and they scare him.
October 7, 2010 4:29 pm
Me: "Seamus you are so fast. I can't go nearly as fast as you can!" Seamus: "Me NEITHER!"
October 5, 2010 5:59 pm
cannot get Seamus to realize that Mr Steve is probably ok with not being invited to his birthday party even if Saxton and Maddox invite him to their party.
September 28, 2010 10:29 pm
thinks it's funny that we got cookies from the bakery for dessert today and Seamus thinks we got them at the barber shop.
September 25, 2010 10:34 pm
According to Seamus "The thing with poison berries is....the more you eat the more you die."
September 21, 2010 1:06 pm
is listening to Seamus argue with Dora. "I said map already, what is wrong with you!?!"
September 16, 2010 11:21 pm
Had a lovely date with Seamus. He took me to Friendlys and he paid (with a fake credit card) and then we jumped in puddles. What a ladies man!
September 16, 2010 12:48 pm
Just realized that Seamus thinks Liam spends the day at the bus stop. We leave him there at 8:30 and go pick him up there at 4:00
September 16, 2010 11:34 am
Told Seamus I would take him on a date tonight (just to keep him out of the boys' hair). He is so excited that he was up at 5:30. Now I need to think of something to do so that I don't disappoint.
September 15, 2010 11:44 pm
is just standing back while my kids shovel in the food (yes MY kids). I am not foolish enough to believe I make that great of a chili, they must just be starving.
September 13, 2010 4:04 pm
Seamus' favorite part of school today? "Reading nursery grimes".
September 12, 2010 1:19 pm
is laughing at how annoyed Seamus is to be wearing "long-sleeved pants"
September 5, 2010 12:02 pm
me: "We have to get ready for Mudge to come, he's a shoe chewer so....". Seamus: "So do we shoot him with the paint ball gun or with the bow and arrow." Me:"I said SHOE not SHOOT." Seamus:"On thank goodness...I like Mudge"
September 4, 2010 9:56 pm
Amazed at how much fun boys can have playing with an electric fence.
September 3, 2010 11:47 am
is not sure if we should be proud or scared of Liam's uncanny ability to pick a lock.
August 25, 2010 7:49 pm
For a treat, took the boys to KFC where Seamus ordered chicken pox. Clearly we don't go to this restaurant often.
August 24, 2010 6:44 pm
You would think that Liam's summer packet involved severing a limb the way he is carrying on. Just draw two pictures and be done with it already.
August 23, 2010 10:34 pm
Clearly Liam's brains have gone to sleep but his body is still awake.
August 20, 2010 4:43 pm
oooohhhh Seamus. When I said "go in the dryer and find some clothes" I meant LOOK in the dryer. Don't worry, we'll get you out!
August 18, 2010 2:49 am
Two caught balls, two fights, one quick conversation with Joba, a Yankee win and one woman exposing her breasts. The boys LOVED the bleachers tonight
August 14, 2010 10:20 pm
Seamus just saw Chinese writing and said "mom is that karate or Spanish?"
August 11, 2010 12:58 pm
Seamus is naked, wearing my flip flops and carrying a gun. Wondering what I should make of this.
August 9, 2010 12:02 am
It's all fun and games until someone poops on the carpet.
August 7, 2010 1:39 am
just found a very confused Seamus tucking into a bowl of Mudge's dog food. Like we'd really buy a 30 gallon pail of cocoa puffs.
August 6, 2010 3:48 pm
ok Liam is gone all of 3 minutes and already the chorus of "I miss my brudda" has started.
August 4, 2010 2:45 pm
Still trying to answer the question: "Mom, what does it mean when they all put their middle fingers up like that?"
August 3, 2010 1:16 am
Spoken like a true boy: "Mom, can I wear my Teixeira shirt to bed tonight so I don't have to change for the game tomorrow night?"
July 28, 2010 1:22 pm
Seamus owning a Woody Doll causes me endless amounts of embarrassment. Why can't he be Sheriff Joe or something?
July 24, 2010 12:52 pm
Not sure what is more awesome, that a child of ours won a dance contest or that the prize was a gift certificate to a head shop.
July 23, 2010 12:27 am
Couldn't be more shocked that Liam just one a disco dancing contest
July 13, 2010 4:56 pm
You know Seamus is tired when he starts sobbing at the news that George Steinbrenner died, then takes a small break from crying to say "who is he?"
July 12, 2010 10:29 pm
Seamus says if I let him watch something he likes on TV he'll let me take him to see Toy Story 3. Generous, very generous.
July 12, 2010 4:59 pm
Me:"Seamus you can't jump on the couch" Seamus: "Sure I can, watch". Me: "No I mean if you jump on the couch I'll give you a consequence". Seamus: "Well if you do I'll probably give YOU a heart attack."
July 12, 2010 1:09 am
Seamus says I crack him up because I say "go to bed" but he 'SOOO does not want to'
July 11, 2010 4:01 pm
listening to Seamus and Liam singing "Sweet Caroline" and in their version it's "hams touching hams". I wonder what their visual is on that part.
July 7, 2010 10:58 pm
Seamus says that he thinks he actually laughed his head off and it's freaking him out.
July 6, 2010 1:06 am
Just figured out what Seamus meant when he said he wanted to hear the "touching me" song. Can anyone else guess it?
July 2, 2010 7:45 pm
to the "grown" woman who picked on Seamus for being afraid at Stew Leonard's and then pointed him out to her children so they could pick on him to, I desperately wanted to punch you in the face but I didn't because there are somethings adults shouldn't do
June 25, 2010 12:20 am
Liam: "How much do you weigh mom?" Me: "I don't know, a lot". Liam: "It's only because of your big butt." Seamus: "you don't get girls do you Liam?"
June 19, 2010 2:45 am
Loves Seamus' enthusiasm. And who cares if he clapped when our team struck out or cheered "Let's go Red Sox" when we are at a Titan's game. His mid-inning dance is awesome!
June 18, 2010 7:39 pm
Laying on a blanket in the shade with the boys. Seamus says it's 'amantic' to be 'laying on a blanket, kissing away'.
June 18, 2010 12:36 pm
Per Seamus, it's easy to stay out of the sun. "The sun is just one little spot and the rest is just plain sky. Stand under the just-plain-sky parts."
June 16, 2010 11:39 am
Listening to Seamus sing "Home, home on the range....where the deer and the applesauce play...."
June 13, 2010 2:19 am
Tucking Liam into bed he thanked me for a really great day. His favorite part, being at his team's ballgame he couldn't play in. I said what about dinner and a movie with your friends? Oh yeah, that was alright too.
June 11, 2010 12:32 am
just heard my worry wart husband tell Liam that "balloons are not for playing with....EVER!". Seriously?
June 10, 2010 11:28 am
woke up to find a sleeping Seamus next to me who kept hugging me, telling me he loved me in his sleep and then falling back to sleep with me in a head lock.
June 8, 2010 11:55 am
Seamus believes we must make pizza for breakfast because Lyla gave him a pizza cookbook/coloring book. Why does he listen to everyone (including people on TV) but me?
June 7, 2010 10:22 pm
Crazy Seamus: "mom I'm starving, let's go to Starbucks on our way to Lori's". Me: "we are going to Lori's for dinner." Crazy Seamus "well I'm not hungry."
June 7, 2010 6:30 pm
Seamus believes he has to watch the show coming up next because the TV told him to.
May 30, 2010 3:39 pm
is NOT NOT NOT going to change you 14 times today. Deal with your dirt!
May 26, 2010 11:10 am
Seamus said when he said he wanted to play baseball this year he really meant he wanted to play soccer or maybe just watch. I told him he had 5 games left and he said "then you better pack me some toys so I have something to do if I'm benched again"
May 22, 2010 1:46 am
annnnddd the night ends with Ger closing Liam's head in the car door!
May 21, 2010 2:14 pm
Country pee lesson #135. When peeing off the deck be sure your brother is not swinging on his swing below.
May 20, 2010 11:48 pm
Liam was pitching into his pitch-back snacking on sunflower seeds. He went back for another handful and found that Seamus had "planted" them all in the garden.
May 20, 2010 3:00 pm
Talking baseball with Liam. I told him Posada is out for 3 of 4 weeks because he broke his foot. Liam says "off?"
May 17, 2010 1:09 pm
should never ask Seamus what we need at the grocery store. He's spent the last hour listing every cereal he knows.
May 13, 2010 11:56 am
is searching for a new car. Seamus wants a DVD player and for it to be blue. Liam only cares that it can fit all of his friends.....oh yeah and that it has flames on the sides.
May 12, 2010 11:20 am
Seamus asked me to find someone to take him to Vegas. Anyone interested?
May 11, 2010 11:47 pm
Seamus loves me "in the sky and out in the rain".
May 11, 2010 11:13 am
The boys were both cuddling me and i said promise me you will cuddle me forever. They promised. Even when I'm old, I asked. Eww they said, we don't want to hug an old lady.
May 8, 2010 1:23 am
Was told by Seamus that I'm getting secret flowers for Mother's day.
May 6, 2010 12:33 pm
Seamus insisted on dressing himself today. He looks a bit doofy. He thinks he looks completely cool and I don't have the heart to tell him the truth. If you see him today could you just roll with it?
May 5, 2010 11:56 pm
According to Seamus all the best stories have "a wedgy part".
May 5, 2010 8:23 pm
is feeling a little sorry for Seamus walking around the yard searching for Liam...who is at Yankee Stadium.
April 30, 2010 10:51 pm
Seamus only likes movies that have o's in their title
April 30, 2010 8:54 pm
Seamus just peed in his pants "Only a little bit but for a LONG time".
April 30, 2010 2:10 pm
listened to an exchange between the boys to see if they could work it out themselves. Seamus"it's mine". Liam "NO! It's mine." Seamus "Well it WILL be mine because you will eventually give it to me just to shut me up." Liam "Ugh, here, it's yours!"
April 29, 2010 1:11 am
Liam says if Seamus was a product his tag line would be "Seamus: just a little fella who's stinky".
April 25, 2010 6:51 pm
So glad Seamus demonstrated how to "make out" on my grandmother.
April 23, 2010 6:49 pm
Just back from seamus's 4 year check up. He's in the 10th percentile for height. Maybe he will be a leprachaun when he grows up
April 22, 2010 7:05 pm
Liam is telling me he likes thunder, just not the noise.
April 21, 2010 10:52 pm
Nobody wins with a headbutt
April 15, 2010 8:27 pm
Liam just came to me all ready for baseball. Shirt, cleats, the works....except he forgot to put on pants.
April 14, 2010 5:44 pm
now that Seamus is 4 he has "used up all his kisses and is too old to make anymore".
April 8, 2010 1:01 pm
Seamus has allergies. His eye hurts and he says his teachers tell him to twinkle them when they hurt. Anyone know how to twinkle an eye?
April 7, 2010 1:45 pm
Seamus asked if, now that Liam can ride a bike, can we teach him what he always wanted to learn....how to sit on the toilet and read the newspaper.
April 6, 2010 7:49 pm
One of seamus' new toys says it's recyclable. He says "well that makes me so sad. I have to recycle it and I never got a chance to play with it yet."
April 6, 2010 3:02 pm
an old man came up to Liam at the grocery store and was admiring his Jeter shirt. He asked Liam if he played baseball and Liam said "Yes, I'm going to play for the Yankees one day." The old guy says "that will never happen. It's ridiculous for you to e
April 5, 2010 1:41 pm
amazed how two boys from the same parents can be so different. Liam will wear whatever you hand him so long as it's soft. Seamus wants blue pants, no...not blue and white,,,not that shade of blue, brighter blue....um let me see if these match my shirt.
April 4, 2010 11:08 am
Wishing our baby and the "sunshine of our house" (as Liam calls him) a very happy 4th birthday. We love you Seamus! Happy Easter and baseball opening day to everyone else!
March 29, 2010 8:28 pm
should have known better then to tell Jack and Seamus that I know someone who's a tutor.
March 26, 2010 7:19 pm
Liam wants to be a "dirtmatologist" when he gets older. Any recommendations for a good school?
March 26, 2010 1:08 pm
according to Seamus it's "the rule of Seamuses" that allows him to only eat marshmallows and NO fruits or vegetables.
March 25, 2010 6:59 pm
Seamus can't wait to watch "Harry at the Spy"
March 23, 2010 12:02 pm
is finding Seamus new baseball cap fixation a bit challenging. He picks a hat in the morning and wants a matching outfit. Unfortunately, they don't all come with matching outfits.
March 22, 2010 8:32 pm
is cursing the inventor of the kazoo right now.
March 19, 2010 8:21 pm
Seamus was just running on the walk way and fell, skinning his elbow. Rather then cry he gets up and says "WHY, I ask you, WHY!?!"
March 19, 2010 11:21 am
is loving the song Seamus made up this morning. It goes like this: "Seeeeeaaaaammmie has a big head. Seeeeeaaaaammmie has a big head." repetitive but catchy.
March 15, 2010 5:48 pm
Seamus likes Swedish fish because he likes sweet and he likes fish.
March 11, 2010 5:23 pm
Seamus just asked to watch the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" trailer on my iPhone. I searched "diary of.." and handed him the phone. Came back to find him watching "Diary of a Nymphomaniac" with a look of complete bafflement. Must wash his eyes in holy water.
March 10, 2010 1:41 am
loves (note sarcasm) coming home from a rare night out to see a war zone. It's clear nerf was involved....and I think, pudding.
March 4, 2010 11:04 pm
At dinner I'm reminding Liam that he has to draw a picture of a C word for homework. He says "I'm drawing crap." Ger and I both say "WHAT???" Liam says "what? It's a site word."
March 3, 2010 11:50 am
loves that Seamus thinks he has fast dreams when he wears his motorcycle pj's'
March 2, 2010 10:33 pm
Seamus just peed his pants for the 4 thousandth time in the last couple days and says "It's ok mom, I was a little boy once too"
March 2, 2010 12:08 pm
for some reason Seamus is desperate to see the production of Annie at Shubert Theater. His reason? It's in 3D.
March 1, 2010 7:44 pm
According to Seamus, if he does Wii Fit he can eat more gold fish crackers.
March 1, 2010 12:46 pm
Seamus was told that we'd get a new car when I get a job (in 2 years when he's in 1st grade). He REALLY wants a new car and suggested I get myself a toolbox and start fixing stuff...."that's a GREAT job".
February 28, 2010 1:29 pm
happiness is having Seamus crawl into bed with me this morning, wrap his arms tightly around my neck and say "Dear God I LOVE her".
February 27, 2010 1:51 am
Liam:"Mom, how old is Lori today?" Me:"She's X years old now". Liam "oh she's OLDER then you?" Me:"yeah did you think she was younger because she doesn't have kids?" Liam:"No because she doesn't have wrinkles."
February 25, 2010 12:57 pm
another show and tell, another chance for Seamus to show off his McDonald's toy.
February 25, 2010 12:17 am
Seamus was just crying because I wouldn't give him another cookie. He stops and says "mommy look at the water coming out of me."
February 19, 2010 1:07 pm
Me: "Seamus put some clothes on it's COLD!" Seamus "No, I'm going to stay naked....I'm so proud of myself this way!" Should I insist he gets dressed or just be happy that he has such a positive body image?
February 18, 2010 8:58 pm
is trying to explain to Liam that it is not possible (or at all smart) to parachute from the second floor into the foyer with a scarf. His reply...."let me just try...in the name of science!"
February 18, 2010 12:40 pm
was a little nervous watching how intently Liam watched Shaun White's snowboard run but then he says "Oh yeah I can TOTALLY do that on my new skateboard." Now I'm terrified.
February 11, 2010 11:25 pm
is trying to find the movie Seamus wants to watch. "Snow White and the 7 Dorms".
February 10, 2010 12:59 pm
Seamus: "I'll never like coffee." Me: "When you are older you probably will." Seamus (tears in his eyes):"I'll never be old! I want to be something else when I'm big because I'll never be OLD!"
February 8, 2010 2:29 am
Seamus said he loves Super Bowl parties so much he's going to have one for his birthday....which is Easter Sunday.
February 7, 2010 8:56 pm
is chuckling that Seamus has "begun getting ready to go to Joey's house". For some reason this involved getting into (and then stuck in) the bathroom sink.
February 5, 2010 4:42 pm
according to Seamus "Hi Ya" is Spanish for you're going to get it!
January 31, 2010 12:56 pm
is wondering how Pooka (our border collie) knows what a ski boot is and why he doesn't want it on Seamus' foot.
January 29, 2010 11:18 pm
have something broken? Don't worry. Seamus says he can "fix it in a chippy"
January 28, 2010 5:59 pm
is trying to explain to Liam that even if we had a copier we wouldn't be able to make more white paper.
January 28, 2010 12:08 am
Liam skied a couple black diamonds, out to lunch, school, Tae Kwon Do, 5 Guys for dinner and new fish. He just asked if we are doing anything fun today.
January 27, 2010 7:34 pm
was amazed that Seamus was SO great about getting blood work drawn today but completely freaked out about having to get a band aide.
January 27, 2010 12:14 am
Liam:"Seamus the world does not revolve around you." Seamus:"Oh I know it. It revolves around God and beer."
January 21, 2010 11:48 pm
thinks the boys might play too many video games. They are playing with their toys and every so often one says "Ok let's go to level 3 now" or "we finished doing that so we can go to level 7"
January 19, 2010 9:22 pm
Seamus claims his temp is now 4 degrees and that is good. Liam is eating "ice for shiny people".
January 14, 2010 11:58 pm
Seamus:"Mommy my tummy doesn't feel good." Me:"What is it like?" Seamus:"An Apple??".
January 14, 2010 12:54 pm
loves when Seamus makes up a song. Today's is "I don't like fake tattoo, they hurt me, yes they do. They aren't just like stamps, you are wrong. They are different and they make me cry."
January 10, 2010 9:26 pm
Seamus just measured me and I'm 40 half and a 10.
January 9, 2010 12:39 am
can't believe how desperately my kids want to go to the "Starving Artist Gallery" to buy paintings.
January 7, 2010 9:15 pm
is a little frightened by the questions I get. From Liam: "How do YOU know poop doesn't taste good?"
January 6, 2010 3:35 pm
apparently bought magic peanut butter. Two tablespoons on Seamus' toast turned to a couple pounds of peanut butter on his face.
January 4, 2010 10:17 pm
is going to make Seamus a sandwich "the same sandwich that Susie made on Tuesday" as soon as I figure out what that is.
January 3, 2010 12:42 pm
would really like to take the Christmas tree down today but somebody (GER!) told Seamus that Christmas would come again (and he doesn't get the concept of "in a year") and he's waiting for Santa....again!
January 2, 2010 2:40 pm
is listening to Seamus sing the song he wrote. It goes like this "I like to be a difficult man, a difficult man, a difficult man. I like to be a difficult man because what I like to be."
December 31, 2009 1:55 pm
Seamus "Hey, it's raining." Liam, "It's SNOWING....Genius!"
December 26, 2009 12:24 am
Ger is trying to tell Seamus that he and Liam are going to play Battleships first because it's a two person game. Seamus says "Hey, I'm a two person!"
December 23, 2009 12:45 am
is helping Liam to sound out words. He just started with "duh, duh, W" which starts the word WE.
December 20, 2009 10:50 pm
is not sure what to make of Liam wanting to grow his hair long, "paint" it black with some red stripes and change his name to Peace.
December 18, 2009 8:30 pm
just watched Seamus have the queen mother of all tantrums in front of Liam's whole class (and most of their moms) because potato pancakes are really more potato then they are pancake.
December 18, 2009 4:22 pm
Jenni: "Seamus you are ordering everyone around and not using any nice words. Where are your nice words?" Seamus:"They are in my mouth. Don't worry, they're safe."
December 17, 2009 5:32 pm
Ger told Liam to stop screeching like a girl or we're going to start calling him Sally. Seamus said "it's ok if you do, I already call him Senorita".
December 12, 2009 6:07 pm
was getting the kids in the car this morning. We could see our breath. Seamus shakes his head, puts his head in his hands and says "I can't believe it! I'm a smoker."
December 9, 2009 6:33 pm
believes that Seamus didn't wreck Liam's fort on purpose. I'm sure it was an "assinick" just like he said.
December 8, 2009 8:51 pm
Can't catch a break from this crowd. I was just telling Liam that Ger and I used to sail and Seamus asked if it was on the Mayflower.
December 8, 2009 8:38 pm
is sorry Seamus is so annoyed that we got a movie on demand and he didn't get a "thank you, enjoy your show" before it started.
December 7, 2009 8:21 pm
is listening to Seamus telling Elmo Mommy is mean because I won't make Elmo a real snack.
December 7, 2009 12:47 pm
must be doing something wrong if Liam thinks it might be cool to be a girl so "you don't have to do anything!"
December 4, 2009 1:03 pm
thinks it's way too early in the morning to explain to Seamus that St Judes Children's Hospital is not a "mean place that makes kids sick." And thank you Liam for piping in "...with CANCER!"
December 2, 2009 12:25 am
Seamus is claiming that he can't go upstairs because "some darkness has happened."
December 1, 2009 4:17 pm
Liam asked me if he could go to Hanukkah because he heard that kids get 8 presents for going there
December 1, 2009 12:55 pm
is not sure what to tell Seamus who wants us to get him fish so he can pet them.
November 27, 2009 2:23 pm
loves that almost any of Seamus' behavior issues can be corrected by threatening to put him on Santa's lap.
November 26, 2009 1:40 pm
Ger "Seamus did you just stepped on the dog?" Seamus:"No Dad, I just Mario Brothers'd her."
November 26, 2009 12:20 am
had a great visit with the puppies but on the way home Seamus asked if we could stop at PetSmart and get some dogs like Sophie has. Liam said "I think they are going to sell them so Dad will just buy them for us."
November 22, 2009 12:06 pm
Seamus' first words this morning "I know what planet we live on mom." Me:"Oh yeah? Which one?" Seamus: "Planet 51." Such a smart boy.
November 21, 2009 9:42 pm
Liam: "I know a really lot of things." Me:"Oh yeah? What do you know?" Liam:"I know you have a big zit on your chin!"
November 20, 2009 12:35 pm
is listening to Seamus cry (which at this hour is like nails on a chalkboard) that I need to learn what he likes. He likes candy corn and he likes me but he DOES not like washing his hands.
November 15, 2009 1:10 pm
is still chuckling to have found Seamus doing the chicken dance in his sleep this morning.
November 12, 2009 1:06 pm
has had her favorite color changed to purple. Seamus believes that green isn't a "girl color". Why should I have any say over things like this?
November 11, 2009 6:59 pm
is listening to Seamus screaming because he told Liam there was no such thing as skeletons and Liam told him there were and he had a skeleton in his body. He is so freaked out.
November 11, 2009 1:15 pm
needs help. Liam thinks we should "save our charity for another time since Santa has Christmas covered." What do I tell him?
November 10, 2009 10:46 pm
had "good-for-you" meatballs and gnocchi for dinner. Seamus thinks it's gorgeous meatballs and Yachtzee. As long as it goes down.
November 9, 2009 11:48 pm
was feeling really sad for Liam because his brother broke his MLB Power Pros disc for his Wii until I sat down at my computer and found that he rearranged all the letters on my keyboard.
November 9, 2009 3:43 pm
thinks there is nothing cuter then a boy and his dog. Pooka and Liam are both ball crazy and Pooka now meets Liam at the front door after school holding Liam's baseball glove.
November 9, 2009 12:44 pm
thinks that Seamus actually believes that Astro Boy is Giacomo. He is having a great conversation with his Astro Boy toy but continues to call him Jack (and is asking him about Nick).
November 7, 2009 2:47 pm
Liam is doing a puzzle so he can see what the picture looks like. Seamus is doing it "FOR NARNIA!"
November 6, 2009 3:52 pm
is just thrilled that Seamus loves me and thinks I look "nice and fat" today.
November 5, 2009 9:42 pm
is guessing "spicy" is Seamus' word of the day. This morning his breath smelled spicy to him and now he is crying because he said he had a "spicy toot".
November 4, 2009 2:25 pm
the current disagreement in the house. Liam believes Seamus lost all the "$19 bills" from his cash register and Seamus believe Liam did not win the game they were playing but came in 6th (it's only the 2 of them playing).
November 3, 2009 11:01 pm
is just learning that the boys are REALLY into Monster trucks. Ger suggested we go to a monster truck thing one day and Seamus got very upset and said "I like our car and don't think we should be driving it like that, it's DANGEROUS!"
November 3, 2009 12:26 pm
was talking with Liam about our dreams. Seamus said "what are dreams?" We told him they are little stories that go on in your head while you're sleeping. He says "OH...nap movies! I have those."
November 2, 2009 11:06 pm
told Seamus he could have one of his candies. I see him now surrounded by MANY candy wrappers. I said "Seamus I told you you could have ONE!" He said "I know. I am having 3 ones."
November 1, 2009 1:15 am
according to my kids we "trick or trat".
October 31, 2009 4:29 pm
was looking at a picture of Liam taken when I was pregnant with Seamus. Seamus asked why he wasn't in the picture and I said "it's because you were (and I was going to say, in Mommy's belly)" Seamus jumped in and said "Oh I know....I was in outer space.
October 31, 2009 12:35 pm
needs to make breakfast for Liam who just "ordered" stuffed french toast. Like THAT'S going to happen!
October 31, 2009 11:52 am
is up with Seamus who woke and said "Mom is it morning (stop to open shade and look)? Can I trick or treat now?" (Who wouldn't want trick or treaters at 7:30 on a Saturday morning?
October 30, 2009 12:43 pm
is trying to get Liam to understand how distracting it is to have him talking when I am trying to type something. I said, "I don't stand at 1st base and talk in your ear when you are playing baseball do I?" He says "No Daddy does."
October 29, 2009 1:21 am
would like to thank MLB programming for making my 3 year old believe he has prostate trouble.
October 23, 2009 3:28 pm
it started with Seamus' "I pretty have a good idea" and ended with a fat lip for Liam and a black eye for Seamus.
October 19, 2009 2:25 pm
has a cold and is listening to Liam and Seamus argue. Liam says Seamus is trying hard enough to win their Wii game. Seamus says "Liam I have put 100% of my guts into this game."
October 16, 2009 10:53 pm
is happy that, although Liam was proposed to today, the girl is sensible to wait until they are both 18.
October 16, 2009 12:41 pm
is cleaning because, according the Seamus, we are having "customers" tomorrow.
October 15, 2009 11:51 am
will happily play along with your invisible friend but will stop at making him an actual meal.
October 8, 2009 6:19 pm
thought Seamus did a great job handing out "beautiful straws" at the fun run today!
October 7, 2009 11:45 am
talked to Ger at dinner last night. I thought he said he was at a topless bar. I was like "gross...new client...bad impression." He seemed surprised then told me he thought I'd love the place. "REALLY???" We talked a while more before I realized he was at a Tappas bar"
October 6, 2009 11:29 pm
is listening to Seamus sing "oh oh oh it's magic....you know...never believe it's not snow!" I like his version.
October 4, 2009 9:44 pm
needs to remind you that you need to behave in church. If you are naughty you don't get a donut. Screaming "I'm hungry and my mom won't feed me" does not change my position.
October 3, 2009 12:12 pm
couldn't get Seamus dressed so we could go to breakfast so we all pretended to leave without him. He now thinks he's home completely alone and seems to be enjoying it.
September 30, 2009 2:06 pm
is listening to the boys arguing about whether or not I am in the shower right now (perhaps to determine if they should start trouble). Liam says I am in the shower but Seamus says "Oh no, she's sitting in a chair checking out her websites"
September 29, 2009 12:06 pm
is (again) getting Seamus' wishes for his birthday party (next April). He keeps saying he wants a "National Party". Does anyone know what that is? I have no clue.
September 28, 2009 10:41 pm
was watching old home movies with the boys and Seamus said "I am so disappointed I am not that baby anymore."
September 28, 2009 12:16 pm
wonders what Seamus is dreaming about when he keeps saying "well THAT was tough" in his sleep.
September 27, 2009 11:49 pm
just told Liam and Seamus they need to behave. Seamus answers "we are have mommy."
September 27, 2009 7:03 pm
was driving to church and explaining to Seamus that he'd need to go potty as soon as we got to church. He says "I suppose I should try out the Holy Spirit potty."
September 25, 2009 1:09 pm
loves listening to Seamus practice the Sign of the Cross. His version goes "And I love the Fadda and I love the Son and I love the Holy Spwit. Amen" He then does something similar to "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"
September 24, 2009 12:45 pm
is saying to herself "don't laugh, don't laugh, don't laugh." Liam is talking baseball with Seamus (of course) and told him the team they were watching is the Astros. Seamus says (all confused) "Ass Fuzz????" Liam didn't even get the mistake and was ju
September 22, 2009 11:51 am
is wondering if Seamus is practicing to be a geek. He keeps saying "sixteen over pi, IMPOSSIBLE!"
September 18, 2009 1:57 pm
knows it's wrong to laugh at your kids when they are hurt, BUT: Liam bumped his chin and bit his tongue and I guess he thought it was worst then it was because he let out this horror movie type scream. Seamus looked at him and said "Sweet Mama Mia, what is wrong with HIM?"
September 17, 2009 4:18 pm
is sorry that Liam was so disappointed to learn that they don't have rain outs at school.
September 16, 2009 12:37 pm
is trying to get Seamus dressed but he needs to pee and needs a potty that has a flush.
September 14, 2009 9:31 pm
is trying to avoid being run through with Seamus' paper sword. Also trying not laugh as he yells "I will run you through MOMMY!"
September 11, 2009 11:57 pm
Seamus just told Ger he wants to take me to Montreal because it's "very dro-mantic". Liam translated for us saying "that means 'a very nice moment'".
September 11, 2009 9:05 pm
loves that Seamus' only comeback to an insult is "OH YEAH? Well I'm gonna go hug my mom!"
September 11, 2009 3:45 pm
is listening to Seamus count: "29, thirsty, thirsty 1, thirsty 2."
September 10, 2009 8:56 pm
is listening to Seamus say "I didn't ooze (he can't say use) the school bus today. I oozed the car". I don't feel like getting into the whole thing about him not taking the bus for 2 years.
September 10, 2009 12:03 pm
is not LEAVING you at nursery school today. I'm dropping you off and then picking you up.
September 9, 2009 10:53 pm
is hoping Seamus isn't going to be disappointed tomorrow to find that his teachers aren't Mrs Razzleberry (with blue hair), Miss Fizz (with Red hair) and Mrs Grize (with yellow hair).
September 8, 2009 9:51 pm
is trying really hard not to laugh in Liam's face. He is singing me a song he learned today that is "in the language they use in Cleveland." Upon further investigation, it's a song from India. The Cleveland Indians got him a bit confused.
September 8, 2009 6:12 pm
is having an argument with Seamus about whether we went to the Goshen Fair yesterday or the Ghosting Fair.
September 8, 2009 1:06 pm
is waiting for someone to own up to peeing in the bathroom garbage can. It has a flip up lid too, so it took some skill. Who did it?
September 4, 2009 11:47 am
loves (NOT) having a boy with cold little feet climb in my bed in the wee hours of the morning to open my eye lid and ask "are you in there yet?"
September 2, 2009 12:02 pm
has been asked to make "ordinary rice crispy treats". Seamus will get the "gredients" and crack the eggs (eww).
September 1, 2009 11:10 pm
is trying not to lose patience with Seamus' 4million questions. Even when you get to a point where there are just no more questions to ask he says "why did you answer my question that way?"
August 29, 2009 8:04 pm
had 3 boys in the backseat. Seamus said dammit so I said "Seamus, no!" The other boys say "what'd he say, ass?" "crap?" "hell?" "Fart?" And the list went on and on with Ger and I saying "Stop guessing and saying naughty words. We AREN'T telling you!"
August 29, 2009 11:54 am
is listening to Seamus whisper "Simon says wake up and play with me" in Liam's sleeping ear.
August 25, 2009 11:19 pm
just bathed Seamus and he told me that he's going to do the same for me. He said "I'm going to pour water up your nose, make you cry then get you a towel and be really good to you!"
August 25, 2009 12:13 pm
is wondering what to say to Seamus who just said "Dammit how can I get Liam to stop saying darn?"
August 25, 2009 12:00 am
is listening at Seamus tattle that Liam is saying "sweat words". I am sure he means swear words since Liam is trying to figure out a new Wii game.
August 24, 2009 9:02 am
got seamus to sleep until 3:30 but when he woke he said "what house am I in?". I told him he was in his own house and he said "that is NOT what I wanted. I wanted to be in JACK'S house!"
August 9, 2009 5:26 pm
Seamus keeps saying he is going to have so much fun as "Skylar's Dopper day". I asked if he knew what that was and he said yes "the day Skylar was Doppered."
August 8, 2009 10:35 pm
is listening to Liam and Seamus argue about how you say sherbet. Liam says it's ferbert and Seamus says it's zerbert.
August 7, 2009 8:29 pm
Liam just brought me a bouquet of leaves to show how much he loves me he says. It's all poison ivy.
August 6, 2009 12:46 am
is trying to explain to Liam that Coach bags are not made from baseball coaches.....or football. No, not soccer either.
August 5, 2009 11:58 pm
and Liam are laughing at Seamus hiding behind the couch because he's afraid of the talking furniture on the Bob's Discount Furniture commercials.
August 4, 2009 3:42 pm
just bought Pirate Booty but clearly not enough for Seamus who complained all through the store that he wanted a bigger Booty.
August 4, 2009 11:26 am
is trying to explain to Seamus why we are not coloring Easter Eggs today!
August 3, 2009 11:53 pm
was waiting in the car outside Primos (empanadas make Seamus' heart hot and full) when Seamus decided we'd take Grandma to the Laundromat next date day to watch the clothes dry.
August 1, 2009 3:35 pm
Seamus just stepped on a cherry and "the guts came out"
July 31, 2009 11:25 pm
was just told that Liam fell off the couch with a pen and accidentally wrote on his leg......his NAME, he accidentally wrote his name!
July 31, 2009 9:22 pm
just came into the kitchen to find Seamus drinking directly out of the ketchup bottle.
July 29, 2009 10:54 pm
loves how Seamus freaks out when they say "The game is about to begin, go to Papa John's to order your pizza". He is looking frantically for the phone because they said he had to call.
July 27, 2009 11:40 pm
just loaded Papa's truck to take to the "junkery" tomorrow. Where does all this junk come from?
July 27, 2009 3:10 pm
is guessing Seamus drank some of the bubbles he's blowing because every time he talks a bubble comes out of his mouth.
July 26, 2009 12:48 am
was heading home from my sisters and Liam said "did you have fun mom?" I said that I had a great time. Seamus says "Did I have fun mom?"
July 25, 2009 12:22 pm
was listening to the boys play this morning. Liam pretended to fall into a whirlpool so Seamus, not to be outdone, pretended he fell into a "whirlOCEAN"
July 24, 2009 4:35 pm
just put Seamus down for a nap. I told him to sleep tight but he said "no thanks I'd rather sleep a bit loosely". Whatever, just sleep!
July 24, 2009 11:50 am
was getting Seamus ready for bed last night and he said "After you brush my teeth can you take a video of me crying about going to bed?"
July 21, 2009 9:36 pm
is trying to get Seamus ready to do more painting. I told him he needs a smock and he is asking if I can hurry and get him a mosque.
July 17, 2009 9:01 pm
just told Seamus to go ask Daddy his 4 million questions, Daddy's DYING to answer your questions. Seamus said "aw Dad! You're dying??? SORRY!"
July 17, 2009 3:47 pm
is going to do Wii Fit with Seamus because he says his "butt feels big" today.
July 17, 2009 11:24 am
asked Seamus if he has a little cold (his nose was running). He says he does not but it's possible he has a little hot.
July 16, 2009 9:04 pm
is listening to Seamus complain that Liam is laying around like a "snack of potatoes".
July 16, 2009 1:02 pm
is trying to explain to Liam and Seamus that if they earn a certain amount of marbles they get to do fun stuff but if they are naughty they will lose a marble. Seamus is crying "I don't want to lose my marbles". I think we might have missed the point.
July 14, 2009 8:50 pm
just listened to Seamus say that he has a wife named Cherry Butler. Am thinking, CRAP he's already got his sites set on a stripper.
July 13, 2009 12:57 am
is trying not to laugh at Seamus complaining that Guinness' "damn bark collar" isn't working anymore.
July 10, 2009 8:33 pm
thinks that if someone says "eat this" and you just open your mouth instead of asking what it is, it's your own fault if it's a hot pepper.
July 9, 2009 3:13 pm
is trying to explain to Seamus that if someone sent you a picture it's of something that has already happened. So even if we rush right down to the bowling alley we won't find his cousins there because they went like a week ago. It's not sinking in.
July 9, 2009 12:26 pm
has Seamus asking if we can go right now back to the playground and watch Hotel for Dogs again. I told him it's not playing now and he is stilling by the door "waiting for them to ring the bell" so he can go. I am not sure where he gets the idea that th
July 7, 2009 4:42 pm
is listening to Liam quiz Ger on how you say things in Ireland. After about 30 words he still hasn't caught on that it's the same language.
July 4, 2009 1:57 pm
has put Seamus in his "4th and July" shirt and is off to the party!
July 2, 2009 11:43 am
thinks it's great that Seamus cleans up after himself after breakfast but wishes he had an easier time reaching the sink so that all the milk left in his bowl didn't pour on his face every morning.
July 1, 2009 12:58 am
has to get Seamus milk because he says kids have reasons for milk and his reason is that he needs milk.
June 29, 2009 12:38 pm
is thankful that, although Seamus was up really early, he stayed in his bed and read his books until 7:30. But I was zoning out as he chatted away to me. Finally, he said "Come on mom, this is funny stuff."
June 28, 2009 7:15 pm
was pushing Seamus on the swing. He said "can we get the dog a butt so he can swing too?"
June 26, 2009 8:47 pm
was just trying to explain what "all this brightness" is when it started pouring....again.
June 25, 2009 11:13 am
appreciates that you think I'm that amazing but cannot move the sun. I also think you mean that it's in your eyes, not your mouth.
June 22, 2009 7:58 pm
is totally grossed out. Liam just came and put his hands on my face to get my attention and said "can you feed me a cheese puff I think I have pee on my hands."
June 20, 2009 3:24 pm
is sorry that Seamus is so disappointed that they don't sell real farmers at the Farmer's Market.
June 17, 2009 12:24 am
is dying laughing that Seamus came in to give me a Zerbert and did is and said "Mommy I gave you a sore butt." It was on my arm but I guess he heard the name wrong.
