Mr. Sassy Pants

To start out my second blog I have to correct a few things.  David told me that I mispoke about our possible family mottos.  The actual front runner are listed below. Please comment below to cast your vote and we will announce a winner soon. 
1.  With a name like McCool... you're probably not
2.  It's not Cool... it's McCool

Sooo... We officially have the crud at our house.  Kircher has an ear infection, Lawson has a double ear infection and I've got junk.  Needless to say last night was a sleepless night for the McCools!  My patience has been fading in and out all day but leave it to Kircher to bring in the humor.  This afternoon he comes running in half naked (which is totally the norm at our house... since the kid has been potty trained I can't for the life of me get the child to put pants BACK ON after he's used the toilet but whatever) So I'm feeding Lawson in the living room and Kircher runs in to ask "Mom... are we on the same track?"

This conversation happens at least a dozen times a day because he's obsessed with trains and they say this on Thomas... a show I thought was really great untill this conversation....
Kircher "Mom are we on the same track?"
Me "Yes Bud"
Kircher "I don't want David (calls dad that) on the same track" as he pats Lawson's head a little overzealously.
Me "That's not very nice to say and you need to be soft with Lawson's head"
Kircher "Oh mom...  sod off!"
Me "Excuse me did you just tell me to sod off?"
Kircher running toward his room "yeah mom sod off"
After I pulled it together I went into his room to talk to him and finally figured out he learned it from a Thomas episode... What??? Anyhooo.... not ready for the sas yet for sure.  I explained that it was a bad word like "shut up" which he seemed to understand. Then he apologized and hugged me and as I was leaving the room he says "Okay Mom thanks for your help old girl... I'll only tell Daddy to sod off."  Bahhahaha! So hard to pull it together and RE-EXPLAIN!

Then after supper tonight it was time to take their anti-biotics.  Kircher has the lovely and unbelievable ability to throw up on cue.  I give him his little cup to drink his meds and he starts choking before it even touches his lips.  I looked at him and said "Oh come on you're doing it on purpose" He literally smiles and then pukes all over me! AWESOME! So after I wipe off I go grab rags and the resolve and tell him he has to help me clean it up.  (yeah right but it was worth a shot) Anyhoo as I'm cleaning up and he's watching I say... "Kirch I don't think that was worth it.  Did you really have to throw up? You know I'm going to still make you take your medicine."  He says "Ok mom, so I have to take my medicine again?"  I reply with "Yeah buddy... you still have to take it again."  Kircher smiles and says "Okay then I'll just have to throw up on you again." LOL.  David and I both lost it.  I mean the kid can dish it out these days!! Who knew!!! After coaxing with sprite and a piece of candy we finally got it down. Ugh.

Our Direct TV was on the fritz tonight so it didn't record "Dancing with the Stars All-Stars" So upset... so I'll have to watch it online and give you my full review later which I'm sure you'll all love. :0   Hope everyone is having a great week!
