Ouch

Me: ITS SNOWING!!!!!!

Bree: Okay, Mom, but you don't have to scream it.

She likes the fall but I don't think she shares my enthusiasm for snow.

Concept of time

 

"It will take 61 years to be as old as Daddy."

 

How old do these kids think we are???

When did you get so smart?

Mom, I'm drawing a rainbow.  What comes after Orange?

Yellow.

What comes after yellow?

Green.

What comes after Green?

Blue.

What comes after blue?

Um.... brown? 

No, Mom, its Indigo.

Sounds good.

What comes after indigo?

Umm..... purple?

Mom!  Its violet!



Apparently I need to go back to preschool.

One for the books

As Bree was looking through her bookbag Monday she asked:

"Mom!!  Where's my homework?!"

 

"You didn't have any homework last night."

 

"Oh.  I hope she gives us homework tonight."

 

 

Bet you that never comes out of her mouth again.

Guess what?

"MOM!!  I ate all my food so you don't have to work today!"

 

Can you tell we've been talking about the wasting of anything means that Mommy and Daddy have to work more?

Can you not repeat that in public please?

Bree: Mom, Jacob can strip like you and me now, huh?

Me: racking every corner of my brain trying to figure out what she could possibly mean  Umm.. Bree you're going to have to explain that one to me.

Bree: Jacob's cheese.  He can strip his string cheese like us.

Me:  Peel, bree.  The word is 'peel'.

Bree:  Peel what, Mom?

Where are you going?

Bree has been infatuated with her Nintendo DS this week - more specifically the picture taking ability.  Today she yells from the living room:


"Mom!  I need to take pictures of the whole house so when I don't live here anymore I'll remember what it looks like."
