Coo Coo

We went to the park with friends today and Mr. Fox was chasing a friend’s son. R3 joined in saying, “Nana nana coo coo” – adorable, she is.

Funnies Take 1,345

Chris told R3 he was going to start calling her cupcake. Later that day when I called her that she said, “NO! Call me Coffee cup heart with pie and a strawberry on top” – methinks she doesnt understand the purpose of a nickname.

LMBO R3 just put a bracelet on Chris and then yanked it off and said, “Hey, you’re a boy not a girl, who gave you that bracelet?”

R2 has had a loose tooth (bottom front right, the perm one is already in behind it!) for a couple weeks. Well, today she finally yanked it out and then ran thru the house yelling, “I’m gonna get a hundred bucks!” R1 quickly informed her that she was not.

Day of Crafts

The kids and I had some fun with crafts today!

Snowman handprint bulbs – this one is R3′s

then we made this cool “snowflake” for the tree.

We also made a bunch of snowflakes from coffee filters – R2 seems to have a knack!

Then the girls painted shiny pictures with condensed milk colored with food color. I’ll have to get some pics.

Advent Day 6

I’m doing this each morning with the kids. I had to record their answers to the last question. :)

R3: because if we die who will save us?

R1: because otherwise we wouldn’t be here

Squeezy Funnies

Walking home from Theresa’s, she pulled her arms inside her longsleeve shirt because her “hands were cold” – as she walked the sleeves swayed and she said, “Look my arm sleeves are walking!”

Then she started racing me, without saying so, she just took off running. I ran with her and when she got to a certain point she said, “I win!” I said, “oh, you do?” and she said, “Yes. If I say I win then I WIN!”

You Misunderstand Me

Papa John is visiting this week and the kids are in Heaven. I’m sure I’ll have lots of stories to share but here’s a quick R3 funny.

She was sitting on the couch with PJ and R1 came and asked him if he was going with him to play on the back porch (PJ helped them clean it last night) and he said, “ok.” He turned to R3 and said, “Are you coming?”

R3: No, I’m going to stay here.
PJ starts to get up and she puts her hand on his arm and said, “No, what I’m saying is WE’RE staying here.”

Haircuts

The kids all needed a trim but then the girls decided they wanted CUTS! I was leery, I really love my girls’ hair, especially R2′s. Those curls! Well, Ms. Jessica not only cut it but she straightened R2′s, also, something we’ve never done. R2 LOVED it! She wouldn’t wash it for three days! LOL Here are a few quick snaps:

We trimmed the back of R1′s a bit, too, but it’s rare that I get a decent pic of him!

My Squeeble

Earlier I was watching Netflix on my phone and she came up and asked what I was watching. When I told her she said, “Yeah, I used to watch that when I was a grown-up.”

Then just a minute ago she was saying something to Ry and she said, “See, Raeghan.. Ryland… whatever your name is.”

Bwahahahaaa!!!

Then I asked DH if he heard her and repeated it. She asked why I was laughing and I told her she was funny. She said, “I’m really funny and really pretty.. and really stinky.”

Bubble Painting

I saw this blog and thought the girls would love it. Instead of popping the bubbles with their paper, though (partly because I missed that part in the directions) they just blew until the bubbles overflowed onto their papers. They had a blast!

Going to the Zoo

We went to the Zoo, it’s been a really long time! Here are the highlights:

First column is pretty obvious. Second column, first pic – R1 says these are “rock star” monkeys / under that is the baby lion cubs / then R3 determined to pet EVERY goat in the petting area / and R3 wanting so badly to pet that rooster!.

Third column: R1 pretending to be Scooby Doo / R1 and then R2 feeding the lorikeets.

Fourth column: R3 feeding them “Look, I’m not even freaking out!” she said. And then the girls pretending to be captured by the monster.
