Talking with boys

Travis, the boys, and I are leaving tonight for San Diego. We are going to surf and play with our California cousins and the girls are going to be outnumbered like 5 to 1. Then Grey and Micah and I are going to Nevada for a couple weeks while Travis films in Mali with Yeah Samaka.
 So, I guess you're not getting blogposts for a while. At least until next week, when I get to my moms.
By then, I'll probably be unable to stop myself from sharing all our sunny beach pics and I'll be back.
But no promises.

 Until then, here's a few conversations of late, including one between Grey and Micah, which are the greatest conversations ever held.

 Travis: Micah, don't touch that.
 Micah: Oh! It's hot!
Travis: No, it's sharp. Your mom is using it to cut fabric.
 Me: But don't worry, I'm making something for you, Micah!
 Travis: What is it?
Me: Didn't I tell you my new cutest idea ever? At the Harry Potter party the boys are going to be Hedwig and Pigwidgeon!
 Travis: So you're making an... Owl costume?
 Me: Just wings, and then I'll paint little orange beaks on their noses. It's going to be so cute!
Travis: I'm so, so sorry boys. There's nothing I can do to stop her.

 Me: Last night I had a dream I went to Gap and everything was on sale. I bought all this awesome stuff for really cheap and then I called to double check and you said I had to return it because we're so poor! But I didn't want to so we got in a huge fight. You wanted to divorce me!
 Travis: I would never! Unless your spending was really excessive.
 Me: but I love the Gap! And it's one if the little things you love about me.
 Travis: Um... Is it?
 Me: I thought you loved everything about me!
Travis: I don't know how to respond to this...

 * I snuck into the bathroom hoping to be unnoticed and thus uninterrupted. I heard this through the door.*
 Grey: Mama? Mama?!
Micah: Oh no! Mama work! 
Grey: Work? Daddy work? MAMA DADDY WORK?! Oh nooooo!
 Me: I'm not at work, I'm in the bathroom!
 Micah: *Sigh.* Mama bathroom. Not work.
 Grey: Bathroom. Good.
