Oh Christmas Tree

I could not wait to put up our Christmas Tree. Seriously! I wanted to put it up months ago just because it's been FOUR years since we've seen it. Josh thought I was nuts for wanting to put it up in August so I waited.

Finally, the day after Thanksgiving Keegan and I put it up. He was so excited to think we owned a tree bigger than 18 inches.

Once I got the tree up Scarlett was happy to just lay by it.

Keegan likes it a lot too.

Now my next project is a tree skirt. We've never had one and I'm on a mission to sew a cute one a.s.a.p.

*Keegan* Funnies

"Mom, do you know how I see things? There are little guys in my head taking pictures of what I'm looking at and then they send them to my brain"

Early this morning Keegan came running out of his room with a shoe in his had and yelled "MOM there's a bug in my pants!!" I asked "there's a bug in your pants?" He responded, "not these pants, the ones on my floor, I saw it, and thought it was a running arrow, but it's a bug"

Uncle Jon works at the Costco that George Bush was doing a book signing at. Keegan was talking to Jon on the phone and I told Keegan to ask Jon if he saw President Bush. Keegan quickly ask "Jon, did you see a president in a bush?"

He's been saying this for a while now but it still makes me laugh. If you say to him "You don't say" he ALWAYS responds with "OH, I'll say alright!"

Today Keegan told me "Watch out mommy, I'm coming in hot" he then jumped from the coffee table to the couch. When I asked him if he even knew what that meant and he told me "it means I'm going really fast and it will be hard to stop"

When I was unsure of the pool temp he didn't hesitate and jumped in. When he saw that I was still standing on the side he said "jump in mommy, it's refreshing"

Keegan and his best bud had a bit of a disagreement and Keegs ended up with a 1 inch gash in his head. (He's fine) But when I asked him if he was mad at Evan he replied "No, but he sure was mad at me!"

Not a "funny" but just a note, while we were in Mexico Keegan learned to say his "K" and "C's". So he no longer calls himself "Teenan" and Koda is no longer "Toda" It was such a shock to hear him ask us how was "MexiCO" not "MexiTo"

I have resorted to washing Keegans mouth out with a tiny bit of soap when he argues. Afterwards I was talking to him explaining that arguing isn't good and that the soap tastes yucky right?? He looked at me and said "Well, it doesn't taste GOOD"!!

The other day Keegan fell out of my mom's really tall truck. When he was asked if he got hurt on the truck he said, "No, it was the ground that hurt me"!

**Warning, not really funny, but still so funny at the time, maybe shocking is the right word**

Keegan dropped the "F" bomb today, totally random and so unlike him that I didn't believe he actually said what I thought he did. I actually made him say it again to see if heard him right. So despite me and Josh laughing we had to tell him it wasn't funny and that if he ever said it again he would go to time out for a long long time.

He got a watch for Christmas, if you ask him what time it is he often says "here, you look at it" It is a digital watch and will read the #'s individually if there is a 3 anywhere in the time he thinks they are E's So the other day it was 4 "E"7

Josh was helping him put on the ONLY pair of pants that actually fit and don't fall down. Keegan doesn't unsnap the snap and was struggling to get them over his keester so he said "my butt is too big" If you have actually seen Keegan you know that is NOT the case.

He often asks me how fast different animals can run, he usually wants me to tell him if it is faster or slower than Koda.

I told Keegan his drawers were falling down, he turned to me and said "What???? my drawers???" he then immediately ran upstairs and pushed in his dresser drawers.

Keegan asked if Grandpa Dan was up in heaven? I told him yes. He asked if he was up in the stars and clouds? I said yes. He then asked, when he is done in his rocket can he come back down?

Keegan got to meet Elmo at Sea World, he ran up and gave him a huge hug. Afterward he told me that "I gave Elmo a hug and didn't even poke him in the eye"

When his finger nails get to long he tells me he has "girl nails"

While on vacation, he asked if we were going to the beach that day, I told him "No we are going to Sea World today" he started to cry and then told me he didn't wan't to go to Sea World that he wanted to go to Wal-Mart.

While out one day a little girl called to her mommy and Keegan turned to me and said "Mommy she said your name"

I had asked Keegan for another kiss this morning and he replied "Nope, only one kiss today."

"Mom, there is something in my flip-flop!!" I ask, what is it? Get it out. He replies "my foot"

"Pa" is going pee, but he doesn't need my step stool betause he is very tall."
