Adventures with LuLu

My friend Leigh Anne, affectionately known as LuLu to Zachary, has saved the day for Chad and I over the past couple of weeks and taken Z on "dates" for the two of them. She had two stories to share with us:

Zachary does something for Leigh Anne, and she says "Gracias. Do you know what that means?" And he says "I think it is a bad word." It seems Spanish class at TLC is not really paying off for us.

But this one is for Uncle Andrew:

Z and LuLu were in store at the mall and someone walked out with something causing the security system to go off which makes Zachary say "Oh my LuLu -- that is quite alarming!"

Move Mom to Yellow

I purchased a bunch of pants, leggings, and tights for Rylee yesterday. I was showing Chad my purchases and explaining that shirts can go with pants and not tights but sometimes leggings and dresses can go with leggings and tights but not really pants, etc. Chad looks at me like I have lost my mind, covers his ears, shuts his eyes, shakes his head, and groans really loudly.

Zachary was sitting with us and asked "What is wrong with Dad?"

I said "I think I pushed dad over the edge with my Rylee dress code."

Zachary very seriously responds "You pushed dad over the edge?? I think I need to change your color for that."

Jesus Really Loves Everyone

Driving the kids home from school last week, I passed by a Halloween store that has a HUGE blow up Frankenstein. Zachary points it out and asks "Who is the big green guy?"

I tell him "Frankenstein."

He says "Oh yeah - Frankenstein - he's friends with Jesus."

That right there made me laugh. Z is not too keen on being laughed at when he is not trying to be funny. So he says "Frankenstein and Jesus ARE friends. Jesus told him to build a boat."

I look back at him and say "Honey - I think that is Noah."

He says "Oh, Noah. Hmmm. No I really think it was Frankenstein."
