Kid Follies, Again

Yesterday, we all loaded up in Dom's truck on our way to do an apartment. When I got in the truck, Dom asked me if I had "such & such" which I just had in my hand prior to walking out the door. I said, "No, I must have laid it down on the table so I could blow my nose," then walked out the door without it. (I've been sick by the way, reason for blowing nose...) So I hopped out of the truck and ran back in the house to retrieve the "such & such." That is when Alex turned to Dom and said, "Now, I know where I get my memory!"

Yesterday, when we were in the truck driving back home, Quinn asked me, "Mom, do they have water beds that have fish inside them?"

Some More Kid Follies

Look at that, two posts in a row! Wahoo! I'm on a roll. Before I lose these two things I have floating around on a piece of paper, here they are.

Ethan was talking to me one day and he said, "When I'm a mom..." I explained to him that he won't be a mom, he will be a dad. He then said, "I don't know how to have kids. I don't know where to go?"

The other day, I came out of my bedroom after having showered and blown dry my hair. Quinn looked at me and said, "Mom, are you going somewhere?" I replied, "No." He then said, "Then why is your hair poofed out?"

A Few Kid Follies

The other day, we were all gathered around the table eating dinner, when I commented about how our older two children both have dark hair and our two younger children both have light colored hair. Alex looked at Dom and said, "Yea, and Dad has Dottie Dog hair." LOL! (Black and WHITE like Dottie the Dalmatian)

Today, I had the kids sitting at the table doing some "schoolwork" (we haven't officially started back up this year. Next Week) and I was acting a little silly goofing off. I was just trying to have some fun getting the kids to laugh. ;) Quinn looked at me and said, "what did you do with my mom?" I guess that tells me something, like I haven't been silly enough lately!

I thought this was such an adorable picture with Quinn and his kitty. There's nothing funny about this picture, I have just been waiting for the "right" post to include it in. But I'm tired of waiting. I thought you all could enjoy it now!

More Kid Follies

OK, it's time for a more upbeat post. I'm doing better and haven't cried in several days since Dottie passed. I think I'm on the mend. But here a few cute things the kids have said or done recently.

• Ethan took a sesame seed off of his hamburger bun and said, “Mom, if I plant this, it will grow a hamburger.”

• After telling Alex to do something, he muttered, “I’m the only one who ever does anything around here.” He kind of sounds familiar. Hmm….

• After Ethan gave me a kiss good night he said, “I’m glad you don’t have spiky cheeks. Dad has spiky cheeks.”
  
  Here is Anna pulling her shirt up over her head. I think she looks like a flower, the kids say she’s an elephant.

A happy heart makes the face cheerful... Proverbs 15:13

Ethan's Quote of the Day

Ethan, who loves watermelon and had almost devoured a whole one, although a small seedless one, said, "Mom, I'm glad Dad bought watermelon, it gives me power to run fast."

Kid Follies

Nothing too exciting has been going on these last few days, so I will tell you a few cute things the kids have done or said recently.


Domenick had bought some Peanut M&M’s and Quinn wanted to know if he could have some. I said that he could have a handful. A few minutes later, I walked into the kitchen to find Quinn with the nut cracker. He was cracking open the Peanut M&M’s and removing the peanut. LOL! I told him not to waste the peanut, someone will eat it and he said, “Oh, I’m not wasting them. I’m giving them to Ethan, he likes them.”


Yesterday, Quinn killed a wasp that made its way into our house. Ethan was with him and said, “Be careful, its stingray may still be alive.”


This will touch any homeschooling mother’s heart. Quinn and Alex were at the table one day doing their school work and Quinn said, “ I’m glad we’re homeschooled, aren’t you Alex?” Ahhh! Music to my ears! Makes it all worth it.


The other morning Dom went into the kids room to wake them up early, since we needed to get somewhere that day in a timely fashion. He then came to tell me that Alex is just like me. When he told them it was time to get up, Ethan sat right up in bed, ready to go; Quinn stretched and looked around; and Alex said “Oh, God.” Yes, Alex and I are not morning people and we don’t like to get up.


I’ll try and make this a regular piece on my blog. Kids are always saying the “darnest” things and I never remember them years down the road, so by writing about them here, I’m keeping a record that can be enjoyed in the years to come.
