2 ways to put it together

There are 2 ways one can put things together. 

     1 Assemble an item

     2 Make a correlation of assumed fact

Both of these things happened in my house yesterday, both were awesome. For those who don't know yesterday was Brenna's 8th Birthday (see 8). Hold the applause, thank you. And we all got out alive. Thank you!

Brenna received many wonderful gifts for her birthday. She received 2 beautifully frilly dresses, a giant Barbie head (that allows you to experiment with coloring hair every color of the rainbow), and a Barbie Malibu doll house.

Most of these gifts came pre-assembled, but the doll house did not. Their Poppie came over and assigned the 4, yes 4, of them all different jobs in regards to assembling the pieces. No stayed on task for very long, and I swear to goodness, have you ever seen one of those shows where someone is quickly throwing something together and their arms and hands are all going in fast motion and things are being thrown...that was my house.  In the end, we learned that they have their own language, Gunnar grasps the way to utilize some of mommy's favorite sayings at inappropriate times, Odin is a good seeker, Jaxom can put things together with brute force (and since he doesn't have a lot, being that he is a giant bean pole, that is perfect for constructing plastic homes), and Brenna can read those funky assembly directions like a champ.

As the gift giving continued, Mommy (me!) received a new purse and wallet (with an Owl on it...WIN). Jaxom asked why I got a gift on Brenna's birthday, and I replied that it is the same reason every time he asks. He said oh I forgot the reason though. I again replied, "It's a thank you for pushing me out of your vagina present." Now Gunnar was listening and put together in his mind something astounding, "does that mean that Daddy pushed us out of his penis?!" "No baby, but Mommy wishes he did."
