Apparently it's not age, it's heredity...
Aidan put the milk away, then growled in frustration, "I can't believe I put the milk away in the dishwasher!"
HAHAHAHAHAHA! He's got the crazy gene!

Aidan April 16, 2010
Aidan has been asking me if he can ride his bike to the bus stop for weeks. I always say no because I am carrying the baby and I will not be able to bring the bike back with me.
Today was a gorgeous day, so I let the boys go outside and ride their bikes before school. I sat on the steps holding Meagan. When it came time to go to the bus, I sent Aidan upstairs to get his backpack. He came down bringing his backpack and the umbrella stroller.
"I don't need the stroller, Aidan," I said, "I can carry baby Megs, it's good exercise."
"But mom, this will be easier, and your hands won't be so busy."
"Okay"
So I put Meagan in the stroller. Aidan then asked me if he could ride his bike to the bus stop, and before I could say no, he said, "And since you have baby Meagan in the stroller you will have one hand free to bring my bike back."
Little conniver!! He is such a smart kid!
So, he rode his bike to the bus stop, and I pushed the stroller with my right hand and pulled the bike with my left hand all the way back to the apartment.

Iron Man tattoo part 2:
Evan: MOMMY! MOMMY! Look! Look at my arm!
Me: What?
Evan: Look at my tattoo! It's coming off!
Me: that happens honey.
Evan (in a whiney voice) but I PRAYED that it would stay on forever!
from the other room....
Aian: (in his matter of fact teaching tone) Evan, prayer doesn't work like that. You don't always get what you are wishing for. And besides, I helped you pray it so maybe that's why you didn't get it because you didn't ask God all by yourself.

Aidan, April 11, 2010
We shared an elevator ride at Macy's with a very pretty young lady.
The lady looks at the three of our kids and says wow! You have a handful! I giggled and nodded, saying that I was thankful that one of them went back to school tomorrow.
Aidan says, "I am 6, and I go to kindergarten! He's Evan and he's four. He doesn't go to school because he pees the bed all the time."

the boys were tucked into bed I heard the faint sound of voices. I strained to listen and it sounded like Aidan was having Evan repeat a prayer after him. Of course, I was curious... I tiptoed over to their bedroom door and paused to listen.
Aidan: "Noo, No Evan. Start over. Repeat after me. Dear Jesus.
Evan: "Dear Jesus"
Aidan:"I know"
Evan:"I know"
Aidan:"that"
Evan:"that"
Aidan:"I"
Evan:"I"
Aidan:"have"
Evan:"have"
Aidan:"a fake Iron man tattoo"
Evan:"a fake Iron man tattoo"
Aidan:"and"
Evan:"and"
Aidan: "I"
Evan: "I"
Aidan: "want you to make it so it stays on FOREVER!"
Evan: "want you to make it so it stays on FOREVER!"
Aidan: "amen!"
Evan: "amen!"

while driving Aidan to Will Marty's birthday party:
Aidan said, "Mommy, guess where Jesus is?"
"Where"
"He's EVERYWHERE!!!! He's up in space, he's in heaven, he's over there and over here. He's even in here!" (Pointing at himself)
"That's right Aidan! Jesus IS everywhere"
"Yep." he said, "and that's how I know that if you die or Dady dies or Evan dies or my little sister baby Meagan dies that they will be everywhere too! Because you guys will be with Jesus!"

Evan April 9, 2010
Evan came out of the bedroom wearing his 'rock mutt' t-shirt and said "Mommy! I'm wearing my totally awesome t-shirt to show Hannah!"
Lunch time comes around and he spilled his cherry pudding on his shirt. "Oh no Mom! I got pudding on my totally awesome shirt! I wanted to show it to Hannah! Now what am I going to wear?"
"Don't you have any other totally awesome shirts?"
"NOOO! I need a totally awesome shirt!"
"What about the yellow one with the guitar on it?"
"Oh yeah! That IS a totally awesome shirt!"
So he puts on the yellow guitar shirt and goes back to the table to finish lunch.
"MOOOOOMMM! I got strawberry juice on my 'nother totally awesome shirt!!" comes the panicked voice of Evan Charlie.
I ended up washing both of the 'totally awesome shirts' right then and there. So funny!

We are in a play for the upcoming missions conference that involves showing the differences between the five major religions of the world and the hope that Christ brings in the midst of all the confusion. We took the kids to rehearsal with us. When the 'unreligious' character stood up and said "There is no God, there is no heaven" Aidan called out, "Yes, there IS a heaven!" And came over and whispered to me, "there is a heaven mommy!" I explained to him that it was pretend and that the lady was acting like someone who didn't believe in Jesus and that in a little bit I was going to pretend to be a Christian and tell about Jesus. He then said, "But that's not pretend, Mommy. That's REAL!"

Chris related this story to me:
Jena Adams came over to visit with Aunt Sandy for a little bit and Aidan went over to give her a hug. Chris said teasingly, "Aidan, I thought you liked Jackie," and Aidan got all embarrarassed. Aunt Sandy told him 'there's only room in your heart for one girl.' Aidan replied, "There's only room in my heart for Jesus!" After that he whispered to Chris, "I have room in my heart for everybody." AWWW!
Although he told us just now he likes Jackie AND Jena. lol

On our way to visit Aunt Sandy for the Easter weekend Aidan asked me to look at the boo boo on his knee.
"Look Mommy! It's getting healed! God is healing it! You know why he does that? It's because he knows that we would be sad if we never got better, so he heals us. But if there wasn't a God then Johnny Test's totally awesome sisters would have to do it. But there is a God, so he does it."
BAHAHAHAHA!
