Kid Quotes

Having a somewhat frustrating day in regards to the munchkins. I went into Megan's room to wake her and Kylie up and discovered a book with the cover cut to pieces all over the floor. I was proud of myself that I did not yell at them, but I really wanted to! Then I discovered that Beth left her brand new shoes outside in the backyard all weekend (we had a rainstorm yesterday). Someone took the goop we made last week, left it out to dry, then crumbled it into a million pieces all over the floor. *Sigh* Some days I want to move to Alaska - ALONE!!! :)

Anyway, I thought it would be a good opportunity to remind myself of the various and sundry cute things the kids have said lately so that I can focus on the good rather than the bad :)

Kylie has decided lately that she is going to be a vet. She wants to take care of hip-po-mo-pot-o-muses (the way she pronounces it). She says that way she will have lots of medicine to give them when they are sick. She will also have a dog.

Megan wants to live on a farm with her kids like her great-aunt Cathy.

Beth apparently had another mother before me. Her name was Banana Apple and she is actually Nona.

While driving home from somewhere, Kylie told me she would help me get home. If I passed our house, she would say "zero" and then tell me what color it was. She has also taken up "helping" while we drive. She uses an umbrella stuck between the seats and pushes it forward to go faster and pulls back on it to slow down. She apparently also is capable of mind control. When we are at red lights, she uses her mind to change them to green. I can't remember if I included this in a previous post, but she apparently uses her mind to do other things too, like make the teacher not give homework. She told me the other day that her brain tricked her because it made the teacher give them homework and she didn't want it to. She says she learned to control things with her mind because she is magic and she creates magic kingdoms.

Beth and Jack have also started "helping" while driving. They push on the seats with their feet to help the car go faster and help change red lights to green by blowing on them. Beth apparently (Kylie and Megan as well, but not as often) has "scopes" in her eyes that allow her to see pretty much anything from anywhere.

Beth wrote a story with Megan's help the other day ~
"Once upon a time there was a princess named Beth. She had one brother and two sisters. Her daddy was named Robert and her mommy was named Laney."

Beth has been on a roll this week. Several days ago she came up to me and said "I found this Mommy." Thinking it was a nail or something, I put my hand out. She put a booger in it and said "It was in my nose."

On Saturday I was slicing vegetables for a veggie tray. When I cut into one of the bell peppers, I discovered a little pepper growing inside the big one. I called the kids over to see it. Beth's response was "Oh, what a cute baby!" She then looked at me accusingly and said "WHY ARE YOU CUTTING UP THE MOMMY???"
