Connor (while in the living room with Jason): "Dad, can you text Mom to tell her I love her. I don't really feel like walking down to her bedroom."
Sister
December 25, 2011
Lori - What would you think if you had a little sister one day?
Connor - It would be ok. But if you can help it, I don't want one.
US President Placemat
December 19, 2011
Connor was looking at his US President placemat while he was eating dinner.
Connor - "Franklin Purse and James Bakugan! I didn't know they named a TV show after a president!"
Me (laughing) - "Pierce and Buchanan"
Connor - "Ronald Regions. That's where you used to work!"
Me - "Ronald Reagan."
Connor - "John Calvin College. No, wait. It's Cool-eh-didge. Calvin Cool-eh-didge."
Pump It Up
December 16, 2011
We are at Pump It Up with our homeschool group. Connor was having trouble finding me in the basketball arena with Ethan.
Connor (to a staff member): Have you seen my mom?
Staff: What does she look like?
Connor: Well, she has pants...
MichaElf Jackson's Thriller
December 11, 2011
Connor let me transform "Star" (our Elf on the Shelf) into MichaElf Jackson in Thriller. We have entered our Elf in this Elf Contest. It would be awesome if we win.
We made the MJ Thriller jacket, added black spiral-curly hair, and painted a pair of Thriller boots. We had the help of some of Asha's Monster High Dolls. I made Star bendable with the instructions here. I think we did a great job! Go and like our MichaElf here! I think we are #79.

Bass Pro Christmas
November 21, 2011
"At the Bass Pro Shop, it isn't the real Santa. He's a fake Santa. And the reindeer aren't real, either. Well, they are real. They killed them and put them in suspended-animation."
Mushrooms
November 15, 2011
After Tae Kwon Do, Connor was talking jibberish to one of the other students in his class. The boy's father laughed and said that it must be something in my cooking. Connor exclaimed, "It was the mushrooms!"
Tiny Touch Phone
November 15, 2011
"Ethan's play phone is a Tiny Touch Phone by Vuh-teh-ch."
(He tried to phonetically sound out VTech.)
Tae Kwon Do
October 15, 2011
We are headed to Connor's first martial arts tournament! In the car, we are talking about his Tae Kwon Do white belt form, Chon-Ji.
Connor - Dad, you remember I showed my Chon-Ji to those people at that restaurant, Chicken Papayas.
Lori (to Jason) - He means Popeyes Chicken.
Jason laughs.
Connor - Yeah, I meant to say Chicken Pa-Popeyes.
Jason laughs harder.
(Connor was trying to imitate the commercial that sings, Love that Chicken from Popeyes, but it comes out "Chicken Pa-Popeyes.")
History
October 7, 2011
Lori - You know there was a time when there were no TVs.
Connor - Well, if there were no TVs, there must've been T-Rexes.
Boxers
October 11, 2011
Lori - Are those boxers getting too small?
Connor - No, they are good.
Lori - I'll go get some more if they are too small. They make larger sizes.
Connor - Like Dad's boxers are bigger. When Dad passes on, I'm gonna use his boxers.
Miner/Minor
October 11, 2011
We are discussing the difference between the words "miner" and "minor."
Connor - I am a minor. Ethan is a minor. You are not a minor. You've passed being a minor. And Dad is passed a double minor. He is a triple-minor because he isn't 20 anymore.
Mickey Mouse
October 9, 2011
"Mickey has two big ears, yellow shoes, red pants with 2 white dots on them, white gloves, and a long nose with a period at the tip of it."
KFC
October 1, 2011
Jason - Where do you want to eat? Popeyes? Wendy's? Kentucky Fried Chicken?
Connor - Not Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Jason - We just ate there the other day. You wanted to go there.
Connor - No, we didn't eat there.
Jason - Kentucky Fried Chicken is KFC.
Connor - It is? Well, y'all have got to tell somebody!
Movies
October 9, 2011
"Some Disney movies aren't educational. Some of them have someone that dies. Nemo is a Pixar movie, and Nemo's mom died. But no one died in Monsters Inc. Movies need to have a happy beginning, a sad middle, and a happy ending."
Paleontology
September 18, 2011
Connor has been extremely interested in dinosaurs for the past few months. We were watching a documentary on sea dinosaurs. We saw a paleontologist gently brushing some fossils at an excavation site.
Lori - Connor, you know that you can be a paleontologist one day.
Connor - I do want to. But I just want to get it [the fossils] out really fast and get it over with.
Homeschool
September 2, 2011
Connor speaking to a lady during our day out:
"I'm doing homeschool this year. Mom is my teacher, and my dad is more like the Principal. You don't see the Principal very much. Unless you are in trouble."
