Interesting conversations...

Random cute stuff they mix up -

Landice - "Mom, here's your squirrel acre(acorn)!"

Corban - "Thanks for memorizing me (remembering me)!"

Landice - "I can't talk when I am quiet." - Hmm, Very profound!

Hayden - "Daddy (pronouced Dah-Dee), I tell oo(you) sompin (something)"

Corban says "acria" when he means acura. He also says "regliar" instead of regular.

Hayden calls his cousins David and Lannea, "Day-bid and Ben-nea!"

Hayden: "You fic(fix) it!"

Hayden: "I have a plum plum (Problem)!"

Joshua and I are teaching Landice's Sunday morning Bible class and we have been talking about Lot and his wife and how she turned into a pillar of salt when she looked back at the burning city of Sodom. So, I think this might be the origin of context for the next comment:

Landice - "I don't like big salt...it's smells like cinnapee (centipede maybe? Not sure what those smell like either though) and bath water..."

Corban : Salt is not good for you...

Joshua : That's not necessarily true...

Corban: Yeah, it is, it makes you sleepy...just kidding...salt will turn you into a tree..

I was walking out to take the trash out through the garage the other day while the kid's were playing out in the garage with their bikes -

Me: Landice, what are you doing in the car? She knows she is not supposed to play in the car because it can be dangerous for them.

Landice: I'm just sittin' here being the girl with the red hair...

Walking up to Corban and Hayden's bedroom door, I see Corban taping up a sign and writing names on it. Here is our conversation following:

Corban: You have to sign up on my door, Mom.

Me: I have to sign up?!

Corban: Well, no, you and Daddy don't, but Landice has to sign up for mine and I have to sign up for hers...

Me: WEll, what for?

Corban: You know, if you want to come in my room and give me 5 kisses or something...everyone has to sign up, except Kadence. She doesn't have to...

Yesterday, on the way to school, Corban asked me a question about ice cream -

C: Mom, is blueberry ice cream good for you because it has blueberries in it?

Me: WEll, it MIGHT be better because it has a FEW better ingredients, but ice cream should still be a treat for every once in a while...

C: Well, ice cream makes you feel better...remember the time that I went fishing with Papa and Grandpa and Andrew and Marshall?

Me: Yes...

C: ...and I got sick from eating the the catfish and we went to Braum's afterwards and then I threw up all over Daddy's old car?

Me: Yes...

C: ...I think I got sick because they forgot to cut off the eyes and scrape the brown stuff off of the catfish's tongue...Mom, you do you know Cat fish?

Me: Yes...

C: Well, they need to do that next time so I don't get sick.

My kid's make me laugh every day! They are such a joy...most of the time:)!

As long as they aren't clogging up the toilet with an ENTIRE roll of toilet paper, which makes me have to go hunt down a pair of gloves and a faulty plunger that just inverts every time you try to plunge the potty...

Which then splashes water all over the shower curtain and cabinets I just cleaned while I am standing in inch deep water surrounded by towels and two young ones trying to come to my rescue while I have their DAddy on speaker phone trying to offer/instruct/console me while I try to undo this big mess...

Which then leads to me trudging over to the neighbors house in my pajamas looking like a hot mess asking to borrow their turbo charged state of the art plunger that fixes all my problems with one nice gurgley plunge...

And I may or may not have marched back across the yard to return that bad boy wielding it like a sword...you will have to risk life and limb to find out by becoming my neighbor someday...

Like I said...they are a joy!
