Funny children

Kids can just crack a person up sometimes! I thought I would share some of the recent conversations I have had with my kids!


A few weeks ago, I made a roast for Sunday dinner after church. Jon didn't have any homework that day, which hasn't happened for a long time. So we set the table and all sat down to eat, then Kaylee suddenly said, "OH, this is the BEST day EVER!!!" We said, "Why is this the best day ever?" And she responded, "Because we are eating dinner together as a family at the table!!"
*Doesn't that show what GREAT parents we have been lately? LOL!

Last week after one of the snow storms, I had to shovel the driveway because Jon hadn't showed me how to use the snow blower. Our driveway is massively huge, so it took a really long time. Kaylee was at school, and Kenzie was asleep so Abbie got into her snow clothes and came outside with me. She played in the snow while I shoveled. All of the sudden she comes running up to me and says, "Mom-- I am having such a bad day!" I asked, "Why are you having a bad day?" And she said, "Because of all this snow!"

 On Thanksgiving morning, Abbie came in and climbed into bed with Jon and me. She has been waking up fairly early lately, anyway, I said, "Abbie, do you know what today is?" And she said, "No, what?" I said, "Thanksgiving!" and she asked, "what's that?" I said, "It's where we eat lots of food." And she responded, "No mom. It's because the Pirates got on BIG BOATS and came here!"
*I think she mixed up a few stories somewhere! Still, very cute!

My parents went to Texas for Thanksgiving to spend it with my sister and her family. Yesterday I had to go pick them up from the airport. Kaylee was at school, so Abbie and Kenzie were with me. We got my parents and Annie picked up and started driving home, and my mom said, "Abbie, did you have a nice Thanksgiving?" And she said, "No, I didn't. But KK did!" (She calls Kaylee KK). Everyone started laughing then my mom said, "Did you miss me?" And she said, "No. But KK did."
Well there ya go....

Abbie has been a thumb sucker, Jon wanted her to stop, so it wouldn't screw up her teeth. He told her if she quit sucking her thumb she could have anything she wanted. Well, she said she wanted a Barbie Plane and a Barbie Kitchen. Jon said okay--- she quit sucking her thumb the next day. I told her if she kept not sucking her thumb then we would ask Santa to bring those. Well, the Barbie Plane is $90--- thought you would like to know that---- luckily I found a Little People Plane on sale at Shopko for $14.99---she wont know the difference will she???

Speaking of Christmas, we have been asking the girls what they want for Christmas. Kaylee didn't really answer the question at first. But immediately Abbie said, "I want candy...... AND a lollipop!! That's all" I guess that is easy enough, right? We asked her again a week later and she said, "I want my own pillow pet..........AND my own eggnog!! That's all!" (Kaylee got two pillow pets for her birthday, and she gave Abbie one of them, but Abbie thinks it's still Kaylee's I guess.) She also keeps saying she wants a Barbie Plane. I guess I could make Barbie vinyl and put it on the Little People Plane, right? Anyway, so Kaylee hasn't really said a lot when we have asked her. So today I asked her, and she said, "I want some Squinkies..... AND my own Ipod!" Hmmmm, let's see---- she is 6!! And she is already asking for an Ipod..... it's gonna be some fun times with that little girl!

 Anyway, my girls have been cracking me up lately. They come up with the funniest stuff. It makes life such a joy!
