Disco Night

Tonight the boys had a school disco with a crazy hair theme. It was a much anticipated evening and all 3 boys really enjoyed themselves.
I made a last minute dash to the mall this morning to find coloured hair spray, but all the $2 dollar shops had sold out (I guess other mums were a bit more organized than I was). But it turned out to be a good thing as I discovered glow in the dark face paint which turned out to be way better and looked much brighter and thicker on their hair.
Next year we hope to get a little more creative, but for this year the boys were happy with just one colour in their hair. Hayden looked like a smurf, Ashton insisted on a green mow-hawk and Noah insisted on having his hair flat and yellow. Cool choices boys!

A few pics (not very good ones unfortunately, but better than none at all)

After the disco Noah told me that a couple of girls came up to him and said they liked his hair! That 'flat mop look' must have got their attention....ohhh, Noah :) The highlight of the evening for Noah was getting to buy glow sticks.

Hayden came home from the disco on quite a buzz. He said that for the first time ever he actually danced!! Woo hoo! He danced with Gian and Daniel and practiced some of his hip hop moves. Usually Hayden just walks around with his mates, or sits on chairs eating junk food. Of course there is nothing wrong with that, but it was great to hear that he enjoyed some actual dancing tonight. Another comment Hayden made was that the girls were soooo soooo annoying. He says they screamed with excitement every time a Justin Beaver song came on, lol.

Ashton says he had the best night of his life. When he came out of the school hall, after the disco was over, it was dark in the foyer and his hair was truly glowing. He was also holding 3 cans of soda, talking extremely loudly and acting a little unusual. I knew instantly that his whole brain and body was going nuts over a massive overdose of sugar! He found a $10 note under his shoes (which he'd taken off and had placed by a chair) and instead of handing it in, he bought 10 cans of soda with it. He says he gave away about 8 cans to his friends, but Noah tells me he saw Ashton sitting in a corner with his friend Tae Woo, drinking soda 'lots of times'. Finding the money and enjoying all that soda was a huge highlight for Ashton. I guess it's pretty obvious I seldom let my kids drink soda!

Funny Comments

Ashton walking into the supermarket quietly whispers to himself: "Please can I have macaroni and cheese, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

Ashton: "I want to live with Jesus." Mummy: "Why?" Ashton: "Because he be nice to me and he gives me bread and water!"

Mummy, examining Ashton's legs, and thinking: My goodness, what hairy legs. Ashton, unimpressed with Mummy's examination, pulls away: "Don't touch them. I'm growing Daddy legs!"

Hayden gets upset at Ashton: "Right Ashton, that's it! I'm telling Jesus on you!"

Ashton with a cold: "I'm snotty as a piggy."

Hayden: "The sun is burning my eyeballs."

Hayden: "Mummy, how come your penis is missing?"

Hayden: "I get the bigger piece of cake because my skeleton is bigger."

Hayden (3yrs old) sees me get dressed in the morning and stares at my breasts with a confused look..."What thooooose be for???"

Hayden: "I don't want to finish my pizza, it's got blood all over it."

Hayden: "Ashton hit me in the heart."

Hayden learns the planets at Preschool: Mercury, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Penus!

Hayden (shopping with me and whining): "My brain hurts forever because you haven't buyed me anything."

QUOTES

Like the changing leaves of fall...My little boy is now a man.

Boys are God's way of telling you that your house is too neat!

There never has been, nor will there ever be, anything quite so special as the love between a mother and a son.
--Author Unknown

Boys are found everywhere - on top of, underneath, inside of, climbing on, swinging from, running around or jumping to. Mothers love them, little girls hate them, older sisters and brothers tolerate them, adults ignore them and Heaven protects them. A boy is Truth with dirt on its face, Beauty with a cut on its finger, Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.
