Sweet Sayings...

I wanted to journal the sweet sayings I've been hearing our kids say before we forgot!

1.  We fixed Burgers and Tater Tots the other night.  Our little girl wanted to help- as she says, "I'm a good cooker."  She called the Tater tots- Tater Totters.

2. Our little boy loves rolling the soccer ball in the house and getting it out of "balance"

3.  Yesterday, while looking in our family game closet.  Our little boy announced he wanted to play battle of the "socks"  It's actually a game called Battle of the Sexes.  I told him it was a Mommy and Daddy game- guess that didn't sound right either!  LOL!

4. I curled our little girl's hair yesterday for the first time.  She said she felt like a princess and loved making funny faces in a mirror.  She wanted me to get her her own mirror someday.

5. Last night, we were talking about the kids middle names.  Our little girl likes her new middle name.  However, our little boy would like to be named Sonic Williams.  After sonic the hedgehog.

6. Our little boy loves saying "Can we do our thing and you do your thing?" He heard me say that once and it stuck in his head.

7.  They've never heard the phrase "You're a Messy Marvin" before.  They asked me, "What's a Marvin?"

8. Our little boy has discovered we have a Wii.  However, he can only play it for 20 minutes at a time.  We set a timer and he plays it with Luke for that long.  But, we've also set up a rule that he cannot ask to play it.  We play it when we want too.  So, now, he says, "I'd really like to play the...well, I can't say it right now."

9.  Last night, we drove thru Burger King.  It was their first happy meal in the car.  They were more excited about getting to eat in the car then they were about missing the play place because of the ice.

10. Yesterday, while playing play dough at our kitchen bar- another thing they've never done before- our little boy told me it wasn't nice to say, "What the...."  I told him he was right, that wasn't nice.  He said, "Well, people say that when they are surprised."  I asked him further about it.  He told me it was "What the heck" then covered his mouth with his hands and his eyes got big.  I told him he was right and it wasn't a nice thing to say.  We decided to go with, "Bummer." instead.

11.  On the way home last night, with all four of us.  My ears were filled with chatter, questions, smacking, and holding my hubby's hand.  I was so happy.  I've always loved going to Mr. Jerry's and Mrs. Nancy's house for Lily's birthday.  All the kids are running around and it's so noisy and fun.  Every time we left their house, I'd tell Luke..."I so want that someday."

Well, now I do and I couldn't be happier!
