the boys repeat silliness

i'm trying to find beauty in the normal part of each day. its easier than it seems.
for instance: the following occurred yesterday and was marked in my journal. still makes me laugh so hard...

i had Madagascar two on the tv. i always let the boys watch a movie in the morning till we eat breakfast. it keeps them quieter as i finish preparing for the day and helps them wake up. this is the school favorite. and my own too. its just so cute and hilarious.

anyway, a part came on and johanno started laughing. then as soon as he stopped matthew did. then he stopped and rubin took over. then they all laughed together.
but it was (for all of them) their "fake" laugh's. it was the laugh they each do when they know something is funny,
but they don't know what, but still they want to be included so they laugh.
which makes me laugh SO hard. hahahah

then later in the day, we were about to start tracing different letters and i just had to quick finish sharpening the pencils for them. well, i finish and then the lead falls out of one of them.
completely.
i just shrugged my shoulders and said "o my gosh"
because it was a dramatic moment and i was semi frustrated but more humored.
then perfect just looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and said: "o my gosh!"
said exactly like i said it!

it made me laugh SO hard!
then we both were laughing and soon all the boys were laughing with me too.

after that for whatever reason i said "mojo!" ha! i haven't used that word since the 90s.
but it came out like it was a natural part of my every day language.
i said, "man, this pencil has lost its mojo!"
perfect looked at me and shaking his head real sad like said: "its mojo...lost..."
hahahaha o my gosh it was hysterical!

also the boys have taken to blowing on dandelions and thinking they are butterflies chasing them.
they really see beauty in so much.
i love that any bug or thing that flies is a lovely butterfly.
you should see them squeal and chase after the butterflies.
they are adorable.

also, this video had me laughing harder than anything in probably the past two weeks.
giggles just burst from me and i couldn't stop.
i love ellen (sorry mom and dad. hey gram!)
and i am a
closet
josh groban fan. (can't believe i admitted that on the internet!)
and this video is just amazing. i love it. i love the matching outfits.
the vocals.
all of it.
if you need a laugh, PLEASE watch this video....amazingness...
