As I helped her get ready for
bed, she was singing "discovering momma and everyone!" I asked her
what "discovering" means to which she answered "Oh, you know! We
go 'scovering around in our van!"
When she accidentally poured water
on herself she cried “that water was so wet!!’
Bedtime prayer: "thank you God, that I didn't get eaten by
a shark or a monster, thank you that Mommy didn't get eaten by a shark or a
monster, thank you that Daddy didn't get eaten by a shark or a
monster....." (and yes she went through the whole family that way)!
Big brother-
"When I grow up I'm going to be a preacher and I'm going to preach the
gospel of Luke!" Little sister- "Well I'm going to be a princess and have a
kitty cat."
At nap time today my girl said "yesterday my ‘maginary friend Pwincess had an EEMERGANCY. A bad guy
with spikes came to her house. That was the emergency. So Pwincess picked up
her house with her mom and dad and her bwuders still inside. That scared the
bad guy away. Then Pwincess picked up her eye balls because they accidentally
popped out."
One day as we prepared to go outside I told the kids that I was
going to get the wheelbarrow from under the house. Big brother went to put on his
boots and little sister called out "Hurry! Mom's about to pick up the
house!"
"if we don't have regular crackers, we can just use fire
crackers!"
“I’m allergic to Hippos, Giraffes and Alligators, so we can’t
keep them in the house.”
The children were all sick and when their Daddy offered vitamin C to
them for the first time he explained that it would help them feel better. Little girl came
back after a couple minutes and said "I need a nudder of does candies
because my fumb hurts."
When we read the part in Pinkalicious where the little girl's
dad gives her a bath to wash away the pink my girl said "why would he want to
wash off pink?
After a bit of a grumpy day she said “I love you mom! I won’t get rid of you”
The boys are watching a documentary about
the Blue Angels... little girl was bored after a few minutes and as she got up to
leave she said "If you see a pink angel or a purple angel, let me
know."
As she looked out at the evening sky she said
"Oh no. The sun is about to sit down!"
We made baking soda/vinegar volcanoes this
morning- each kid added food coloring of their choice and after little girl's "erupted" green she said "That is NOT much like a real volcano-
a real volcano is big and black and scary."
After I bought a silver dress to wear to a wedding she said "Mom, your dress is not much beautiful. You should have
gone to the wedding store where I got my flower girl dress and picked the big
pink one."
April 7, 2012 as she cleaned up her room “I’m doing my job but I
still don’t like my outfit.”
“My bones are too big for
me to sleep”
After hearing Rich Mullins sing
“So if I stand let me stand on the promise
That you will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You”
She said “Hmmm, maybe I need to hop off the promise so
someone else can have a turn”
As we walked into the store I asked my
children “Ok, what’s the most important rule?” (thinking they would answer “Stay
close to mom”) I was surprised when my little girl immediately piped up
enthusiastically “don’t show your butt!”
The children are learning the long vowels and we have a marching song that goes "A for apron, E for eagle..." but when we get to U my little girl sings “U for United steaks!”
With pouty lips, she asked “why can’t I marry daddy?” I answered “because
I’m already married to daddy” she smiled and said “right, and it wouldn’t be
nice to take your married…. but I might take daddy when it’s time to dance!”
