About Me

Marian
United States
I have decided to start a blog to keep friends and family updated with our life since I am so horrible at keeping in touch by phone or email. Here you will read the mundane, sometimes spectacular ramblings of someone with insomnia or one who's just making excuses not to do laundry or the dishes. Most of the time, the photos will speak for themselves. Enjoy as I know I'll enjoy posting! And I hope you are well each time you come and peek at Dolan Island. Thanks for visiting! Love, Marian and the boys (Jim, Patrick, Ronan and Gabriel)

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
*************
10/25/09
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.
