There's no place like HOME: On the court

Funny and cute things the kids say ...

Tim had 2 tickets for the Warriors game Friday night. So one boy got to go to the game with him while the other would get to go to Lincoln Lopez's house to play. We let the boys choose. First they both wanted to go to Lincoln's house! Then they decided that Miles would go to the game with Tim and Caden would go to Lincoln's. Caden said the prayer that night. He said "Thank you dad can go to work, thank you that Miles can go to school, and thank you that I can go to Lincoln's house." We were all busting up laughing during the prayer.

Miles was at a high school football game with Tim. One of the players had tattoos on both of his arms. Miles thought that was cool (oh great!) and told Tim that he wanted a tattoo. Tim asked him what kind of tattoo he would want and Miles replied with "SpongeBob."

Miles: "Caden Doll is my arch enemy!"

Tonight for dinner I made turkey broccoli casserole with rice. The boys always say that I make gross dinners, but tonight Miles added that "This dinner is worse than school lunch."

Tim took the boys to another football game friday night. This time it was the Concord Minutemen vs. the Dublin Gaels. So this time, Caden thought the "Minimen" were playing against the "Girls."

Last Friday, Tim took the boys to the high school football game that he was covering for the newspaper. The teams playing were the Northgate Broncos vs. the Concord Minutemen. They got to stand on the sidelines and watch the game. Caden thought it was really cool. The next day I was asking Caden about the game. I asked him if he remembered what teams played. He said, "the Boncos and the Minimen!"

Caden is learning to count. He can count to 29 with a little help (but he somehow manages to skip 16 everytime). He gets to 29 and says twenty-ten, For 30. And does the same for the rest of the numbers.
Thirty-Ten = 40
Fourty-Ten = 50
Fifty-Ten = 60
and so on.

Tim and I went out with some friends on their boats. The boys went to the babysitter's house. After we picked them up we were telling them about how Tim got flipped around on all the different tubes. Miles said "So dad, there was 2 people on the tube ... you and your KIDNEY STONE!!"

On the court

Miles had a cool experience last Wednesday. Tim got a phone call and was asked if Miles wanted to go on the court at the Warriors basketball game during the player introductions. Of course!! We didn't tell Miles where he was going all week. (We kept using it as a bribe so that he would be good.) So Wednesday night Tim took him to the game, and still he didn't know what was going on until he saw the tickets. Then he went to a special area and waited for awhile until he actually got to get out on the court. Then after waiting for about 45 minutes he got to walk onto the court. Then Andris Biedrins came out, gave Miles a high five and a warriors bags with school supplies in it (there was a puzzle, book, ruler, pencil, pencil bag with the warriors logo on them and he got a shirt). Miles was pretty excited. Tim ran down to take pictures, it was dark and a guy was yelling at Tim that he couldn't see and that he paid good money for his seats. Tim tried yelling back but didn't want to start anything and it was loud anyway. So the pictures didn't turn out great. (Miles is wearing the orange hat and blue sweatshirt)

This is during the "Star Spangled Banner" before the game started:
