Shakes

Breanna just asked me to make ice cream (shakes in the blender). I said that's Daddy's thing. She reminded me that I made them with ice when Grammy was here (a diet version). I asked her if she wanted me to make that kind, and she said, "No, but you can do the other kind. Maybe you just forgot to turn something on in your brain."

Wouldn't that be handy?!?

After Bible study yesterday, Breanna said she didn't need her hood up because it was sunshiney. I said she might need it up so her ears didn't get cold. She replied, "No. I have warmer-uppers in my ears."

Things You Don't Think You'll Ever Say Part 7...

"We don't get naked at the table!"

Katelyn had poured part of my Dr. Pepper down her front (through 2 white shirts and jeans), so she was in just a diaper and not strapped into her seat, since she was just having peaches for a snack (actually just dumping them on the table and playing in them). I did some dishes and turned back around, only to discover a naked Katelyn standing up in her high chair. At least she only got peaches in her bangs. :-)

A trip to Africa

Breanna has taken every toy in the family room and piled it under her tipped-over slide. I asked her to put at least some of them back, and she said it was all her stuff to take to Africa. In an effort to play along with her imaginative scenario, I said, "Well, you can't check that much luggage any more. They'll make you pay for it all, so you should put some of it back." But she replied, "No, I can get it there for free."

Then, to call her to the table, I said, "It's time to come back from Africa now." She replied, "I don't have a map. I only have the map to get to Africa, but someone took the map to get home and I can't buy one anywhere!"

Sheesh.

Nice surprise

We were at church last night and Breanna wanted to play in the gym, but there was a sign saying there was an obstacle course set up for the preschool. So I told her she couldn't play, but there would be a big surprise at school for her the next day. She thought about it and said, "I hope the surprise isn't an elephant or a crocodile." Um... me, too!

Katelyn's potty mouth

Katelyn pottied again today. :-) Then she peed about 6 inches away from the potty - on the rug. The best part? Everyone remember what she called "Paci"? Well, you should hear "rug." The only thing she got right was the vowel sound. I would have expected it with "truck" or "fork," but not "rug."
