The Getschers: Progression of a Popsicle

Progression of a Popsicle

Friday afternoon we heard an ice cream truck drive into our complex. Sweet Mark ran outside with Ethan and got him a popsicle. Isn't that every kids dream though? When I was young, whenever I heard an ice cream truck my heart skipped a beat and my hands got sweaty and I started frantically looking for change. Mark is such a good daddy.

Much to my dismay, Ethan came back with a spongebob squarepants popsicle complete with nasty gumball eyes. We opened it and went onto the patio to eat it. So much excitement! (Pretty nasty looking to me)

Yum, yum.

Getting a little bit messier. It's melting quickly.

Yuck, I wouldn't eat that thing if I was paid.

Decided it would be best to eat the popsicle on hands and knees so the many drips would drip on the cement rather than on his already sticky feet.

Eventually it fell off of the popsicle stick to which I rejoiced but Ethan was so so sad.

Oh poor sad boy.

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
