Making Strides Against Breast Cancer 2008

Photo and video editing at www.OneTrueMedia.com

We were blessed with a beautiful fall day for the 3rd annual breast cancer walk for the American Cancer Society. Our team raised over $9k !!! . I'm so grateful for friends and family who helped me surpass my personal goal of raising $500. Our team's top fundraisers, Julie and Jay collected $6500. Jay told his friends that if he raised $3k he will do the walk wearing a pink tutu, pink wig, and pink boots. The paparazzi were all over him. Patrick and Ronan wore their fushia pink tshirts without complaints --no complaints walking either. It was nice to see many survivors walking among the approximately 5000 walkers today.

Dolan Boys' Random Thoughts and Funnies

Ronan: Mama, is my dada still in "gatar"?
M: Yes, he is in Qatar until June
Ronan: Is he a Guitar Hero?
****
Patrick: Mom, why do dads have to go to work and moms have to do all the hard work?

Me: What do you mean?

Patrick: You know, you clean the house, take us out to play, make food, wash the dishes

(My Patrick has always been so insightful--)

*******

Ronan: Hey mom, do you know who makes moms?

Me: Ummm... they are born.

Ronan: No mom...Jesus makes them.

*******

Patrick: Mama, you have to do what I say. I'm the boss of the house

Me: No, I'm the boss of the house

Patrick: No, when dada is not home I'm the boss of the house. When dada is home, you're the boss of the house.

**********

While in Patrick's pediatrician's waiting room, I got written up by the fashion police.

Patrick: Mama, you have to brush your armpit

Me: What do you mean?

Patrick: You have a beard growing in your armpit.

Me: (speechless...but almost died laughing)

*********

I overheard Ronan singing in the bathtub this evening..

"If I were a butterfly, I thank the Lord that I could fly

If I were a little brother I'd kiss and hug my brother."

***********

The cats decided to have a litter box strike one day and decided it would be cool to poop inside the house. After stepping on poop for the second time, I was huffing and puffin' and screaming bloody murder when Ronan tells me...

"Mama, you need to put underwear on Cameron".

Patrick and I just looked at each other and rolled laughing.

***********

One evening, I was annoyed with the mess the kids made in the kitchen and I suPPose my voice was louder than usual...yeah, I'm known to yell when frustrated. Ronan looks at me with concern and says "mama, why are you not loving me?" Nothing like a 3 year old to keep me in check. So I had to explain that just because mommy is yelling doesn't mean I don't love them.

************

I overheard this Sunday morning...the boys having a conversation half awake.

Ronan: Patriiiickk...buttbutthead, you want to trade pokemon cards?

Patrick: No buttbutthead...zzzzzzzz.

Both remained asleep--10:00am! they like to sleep in like their father.

*************

Ronan: Mama, check this out! I can make a bubble with my runny nose!!!

(ewww!!!1)

*************

As we were saying goodbye at the airport and having a group cuddle. I'm kissing the boys and telling them to have fun, and to listen to their dada. Ronan holds my face and looks at me in the eye and said "mama, tell baby Gabriel not to give you too much contractions". Such a sweet boy, everytime I have a Braxton Hicks contraction and he would say "uh-oh time for your water with ice".

*************

Ronan's Oedipus Complex 10/10/08

"Mama when I grow up and I'm big as dada--we can give dada away to other people without a dada. Then if you want, I will marry you."

**************

Ronan's comment while I was blow drying my hair.

"Hey, mama. We're going to have another baby! I said "Oh yeah?..what makes you say that?" He replies as he rubs my belly lovingly..."your belly is getting bigger again!"

geeeezzzz

**************

Heard this conversation while the kids were playing:

Patrick: OK Ronan, let's wrestle.

Ronan: Okay

Patrick: You'll be George Washington and I'll be Barrack Obama

In this wrestling match, Obama won as well

*************

2/04/09

Upon finding a coloring page picture of Martin Luther King Jr in the recycle bin.

Ronan: Mom, who put Barrack Obama in the recycle

Me: I did, and actually that's Martin Luther King

Ronan: No mom, that picture does not have a crown. Martin Luther King Jr is a king. That's Barrack Obama

**************

2/10/09

Ronan: Mama you just ran through a stop sign

Me: No I didn't, I stopped

Ronan: No mom, when you stopped your wheels were still turning

*************

3/13/09

Me: Oh no..you got runny nose again

Ronan: No mom, it's just melted boogers

*************

On the way to a Halloween party:

Patrick: Mom, do you know the way or are you just driving randomly

1/13/10

Patrick: Mom, I think we should adopt a baby

Ronan: Are you going to have another baby mom?

Me: No, but we can think about adopting when Gabriel is a little older. Would you like that?

Ronan: Yeah..but if you have a baby, I know its' going to be cute.
