Rock, paper, scissors
So today on the way to baseball Dylan started a conversation with me. I love his conversations, they are actually quite insightful. Here is how it went from where I started listening,
Dylan:(talking to Spencer) so we are all Layne's except mom, she is a Jordan (my maiden name)
Me: No, I am a Layne now too
Dylan: Well, I guess. So when two people get married, whose name do they use, is it the mans?
Me: Yes, the wife changes her last name to the husbands.
Dylan: (after a few minutes of thinking) So if there was no prop 8 would they just do rock paper scissors to decide whose last name they would use?
Me: (trying not to laugh) I don't know, that is a good question Dylan. I'm not sure how that would work. (Seriously, how does an 8 year old think of questions like that?)
I can't wait for the questions he asks as a teenager =)!!!

"A dream is a wish your heart makes"
The kids had so much fun with their friends that happened to be there on the same day. Our kids are all pretty much the same ages so they all have a buddy. The girls are the farthest apart at 2 and 3 years old. It's great. Yes, the boy in the middle is about to cry. The 6 boys squished together a little too hard.
Why is it so hard to get all 4 kids looking at the same time. Oh well...
This was Spencer as he went to go hug Goofy. Goofy turned around right as he was coming up to him, and then he was playing with Spencer and then put his shirt over his head, it was pretty funny.
As usual we had a great time playing at Disneyland with the family. One good thing about Chad being out of work is that he can spend all this time with us, and especially when it is at Disneyland.
p.s. The quote of the week was made by Chase on this trip. It went something like this...We were eating breakfast at Denny's before we went into Disneyland and Chad said that he had gotten an email about a job fair that he should go to the next day. After we were talking about it for a few minutes Chase said this "So dad this is for people that are jobless" and Chad said yeah, then Chase thought about it for a few minutes and then asked "So people that don't have jobs just go and play games? What kind of games do you play?" We were laughing so hard. Get it? He thought it was like a fair where you play carnival games. Hilarious.

Snow Day!
Yes, you are seeing right, the boys were in shorts. I know crazy Californians. Dylan of course never wears pants and this was no exception, but I couldn't figure out why Spencer wouldn't. Oh well, they were the cold ones.
And what better than a swim in Grandma and Grandpa's hot tub after a cold day in the snow?
The kids all had fun spending time with grandma and grandpa. Here is Brooke with her Great Grandpa Layne.
Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for a fun trip!

"Cinerella"
So for the fourth time as a mother I am at the "I wanna watch it again" stage. As I write this I think that Brooke is on her fourth time of watching Cinderella...today. Ok, so not four times all the way through, we have just had it on four times. But she really loves it. And so far it has only been "Cinerella" as she calls it. And I love the fact that it is Cinderella. I love Cinderella and have never once had one of my boys ask to watch it. So finally I get to watch Disney princess movies over and over and over again. Chase's movie was Toy Story. I can't tell you how many times we watched that movie. Dylan's was... (okay now picture me embarrassingly shrugging, cause for some reason I can't remember much of Dylan's early childhood, but I am sure that he had a favorite movie.) And Spencer's was The Incredibles. So it is so fun to finally have singing and dancing and pretty dresses. Funny though today she was watching it and all 3 of my boys plus 2 other boys that were over playing all sat and watched most of it. So maybe the boys will like having a whole new genre of movies to watch.
