Funny Things Kids Say

This will be an ongoing thread of funny/interesting things my kids have said over the years. Most of the current ones will be from Katelyn since she continues to amaze me with her insight and wit. As Meredith gets older I can only imagine what will come out of her mouth. I think Drew will be more laid back and may not have as much to add. Still too soon to determine.....

Katelyn (Age 5) ~ If God created the trees, animals and everything else than who created God?

Meredith (Age 2) ~ I am not your friend! I am very mad at you! (this is later usually followed up with an I love you mommy and I'm your friend)

Katelyn had her first brush with profanity this week at age 5 and used it correctly. When asked where she heard the word she couldn't remember. I guess that's better than her saying she heard it from me. Word of choice? dammit! After using it correctly twice in a matter of days we suggested with consequences spelled out the word should be removed from her vocabulary. I'm sure we'll hear it again some day but hopefully she's at least riding a bicycle without training wheels the next time it pops out of her mouth.....

Meredith (Age 2) ~ Doing a shake her booty dance and singing along...shake my booty, shake my booty. When asked where she learned this fine dance and song she replied, "Grammy". Somehow I don't think that's the case....

Meredith (Just Turned 4) ~ We were thanking God for our day and started saying specifics things we were grateful for and Meredith exclaimed "I thank God for potty words!".

Meredith (Early 4) ~ "I know where I came from....you went to the people store in the baby area and picked me out of the cage". Apparently she's confused between making babies and the pet store!

Meredith (Age 4) ~ "I wish Lady GaGa was my mother". Apparently I'm not eccentric enough for my crazy child!

Drew (Age 3) ~ "I think Lady GaGa is cute"

Meredith (Age 4) ~ "Daddy I love everything about you"

Drew (Age 3) ~ "Daddy you make the best pasta ever"

Meredith (Age 5) ~ "I'm either marrying Justin Beiber or Lee (our next door neighbor)". Apparently she likes much older boys since Lee is about 5 years older than her!

Later, she said she was going to marry her brother, Drew. I explained this wasn't allowed and she declared..."If I don't tell them he's my brother than they won't know and I can marry him!".

After Drew (Age 4) was told how cute he is for the millionth time Katelyn (Age 7 1/2) told him "Enjoy it now because you won't hear it when you are older...trust me, I know!".

I guess I'll Never Make Money Doing This.....

I really enjoy blogging....it's actually very therapeutic. I'm guessing not many people even read the words I put on paper but maybe some day it will be fun for my kids to read through and wonder who the heck raised them :). I read some popular Mommy blogs and the bloggers are on almost every day. I can't imagine being that diligent. Maybe if I wasn't raising 3 kids, running a business, maintaining the house, paying the bills, putting food on the table, running to the grocery store to pick up milk...how do they do it?

Life has been hectic this summer. It's tough having the kids out of school even with Carolyn helping out 3 times a week. I'm thinking summer camp is the option next year. Hopefully I can find something for at least the girls. They get so bored. My kids need constant activity in their lives. It's amazing to me how much energy they can store in their little bodies. It's also amazing that with a house full of toys, all 3 kids will fight over the same darn toy. How does that happen? There must be a scientific law somewhere that explains it.

I'm getting the best belated anniversary gift this weekend. The husband and kids are going to the lake house and I have the house to myself. Not that I don't thoroughly enjoy spending time with them and not to mention I've traveled a lot this month. But, I am so behind with work it's ridiculous. I guess I should be doing that right now and making money rather than typing in my blog. Not only will I never make money doing this but I've just penned myself a procrastinator.
