That daughter of mine...

A few recent Breanna moments:

After several attempts to convey that we had all eaten too much junk food, and to stop asking for more snacks, I finally said, with much exasperation, "There will be no more snacks today! How many different ways do I need to say it?" Without missing a beat, Breanna said, "In French."

Now that I write that, this one doesn't sound very good, but we were making cookies today (for Daddy's work), and Breanna said, "Mommy, your balls look great!" I know, I know, inappropriate, but still funny. :-)

Be calm, calmly

Katelyn's Rapunzel and Ariel dolls were arguing today, so I told her she need to tell them, calmly, "Sit down and be quiet."  She promptly said to them, "Calmly sit down and be quiet."  Guess she didn't hear the comma placement, but it still works.  :-)

Things I never thought I'd say, Part (I don't know - I lost count)

Katelyn, don't put the lizard in your hair!


(She found one of those floppy, rubbery lizard toys and brought it to me saying her hair was sticking to it, so obviously she should just not put it in her hair, only that sounds kind of funny when you hear yourself saying it!!!)

Be Healthy!!

A few days ago, I was trying to convince Breanna that sweets and junk just aren't the best decision. I even threw in that God made us, we're special, and we should take care of our bodies to honor Him. A couple days after that, she randomly asked me, "Mom, will I still go to heaven if I eat too many french fries?"

The other day, while I was in the bathroom, hoping to have a private moment to, you know, read, Katelyn came in all upset and said, "Mommy, I have a boo-boo right..."  ...looking, looking, looking...she examined every inch of her right leg, front and back, switched over to her left left with no luck, changed back to her right leg and finally found what may have at one time been a tiny scratch..."there!!!"  Pout, pout.  I was glad it wasn't serious, but I kind of wish my bathroom time hadn't been interrupted, especially since Katelyn was soon followed by Breanna who just hung out with Katelyn, waiting for me to be done.

Ah, the life of a mommy.  :-)

Breanna, examining a Playdoh piece, thinking it was Katelyn's creation, when it was really just an unused blob:

"That looks just like a sea lion!! ...  Or a weenie-dog."

Cuz those two are easily mistaken for each other.
