A Little Yard Work

Once our visitors left, it was time to get back to work. We started by weeding and acorning the front yard. (I think that should really be a word.) :)

Kids Say (and Do) the Darndest Things

8-12

I was telling Jared he couldn't have something he wanted. Ethan decided to share some wisdom with his brother.

E: If she spoils you, you will grow up to be a not-so-good adult. I've never seen one, but I'm sure that they exist.

8-27

J: I'll help you Mom!

S: Thanks my Jared.

J: Well, I am your son. What good is a son if he doesn't help his mom?

(pause)

J:Well, I guess he could help his dad.

8-28

Jared came into my room while I was getting ready for church.

J: I really like your shirt. Really. I'll have to buy one of those for my wife.

(a little later...looking at the makeup on my counter)

That is a lot of girl stuff. Bye-bye!

5-4

J: I know my destiny!

S: Oh yeah, what is it?

J: To get a double doozie (cookie from Great American Cookie Company), but it's a destiny for today only, so we HAVE to do it today.

5-2

Jared tripped and hurt his knee.

He then turned to me and asked, "Can I walk on it?"

I responded, "You can walk, run, jump, and skip. You just might not want to kneel."

He then added, "Anything but kneel and teleport?"

4-10

J: I like to do that just like Dad does.

E: (with a sigh) Oh genetics!

3-31

J: Mom, you "teached" me and now I'm an even "perfecter" kid.

3-6

J to S: Hi awesome face!

2-20

During preschool playtime the kids wanted me to be the store owner. Jared came up to my "shop" and asked, "Which items are on clearance today?"

2-12

J to S (after I had let him have a few coins from the change at the store): You are my best friend...because you love me and because you give me money.

1-31

Ethan loves to read the signs while we drive. We passed one place of business and he read, "Gold & Silver Buyers. We buy gold and silver and more."

E: They buy gold and silver and more? Would they buy a cricket?

A: Ethan...

E: It says "and more."

12-2

Ethan: "I have two things to tell you. One is that I love you. The other is that I can't go to sleep and I don't think I ever will be able to."

10-31

After being complimented on his hair over and over while trick-or-treating, Jared told Alan, "I am so glad I have this hair. It makes everybody happy."

9-12

Jared was lying down and when he laughed he snorted. He then said, "Mom, I just said 'oink'!"

8-14

J: I don't like these pajamas.

S: Did you know that some kids don't have more than one pair of pajamas?

J: Aaahh! Good thing I have lots of pairs for when they get dirty...otherwise we'd be DOOMED!

6-28

S: Jared, you have really dirty feet!

J: Really? Thanks!

6-20

Jared: I upgraded my hippo!

Where do they learn these things?!
