Give Me Five

Me: "Brady, why are you spanking yourself?"
Brady: "I am not spanking myself. I am giving my butt a high five."

I Have Needs

I am sick. Stomach flu sick. I dragged myself downstairs, made a stop at the bathroom, and finally ended up on the couch.
A few minutes later Brady came over to me and said, "Walk yourself right off that couch. I need stuff!"

That's "Grilled"

Me: "Brady, would you like a grilled cheese sandwich?"
Brady: "No. I want a boy cheese sandwich."
Me: "No, honey, that's GRILLed."

Don't Worry, They Are Safety Scissors

Sadie: "Who let dad have scissors?"
Me: "I did, but I am watching him carefully."
Sean: "Don't give me paste though, I still eat it."

I Salute You

Sadie has always been prone to spills. Some of them have been pretty bad. Every morning for the last year I have made my non-breakfast eating kids a breakfast shake. Sadie has spilled hers on several occasions. The chocolatey breakfast mess is really fun to clean up.
This morning she out did herself. I came upstairs from the basement to find a small puddle of her shake on the floor. No big deal. It was the shake that splattered 4 feet in to the front hallway (carpet), all over the wall of the kitchen, and about 4 feet of splatters on the kitchen ceiling that I found impressive.
That girl has a gift.

Last Night

This morning Bethanie and Sadie ran right up to me and announced that LAST NIGHT Bethanie's hair turned brown.
Bethanie was VERY blonde when she was little. I was also very blonde when I was little, as was my own mother. I always assumed her hair would eventually be dark as well. I have to admit that when she didn't have dark hair by 5, like I did, I did wonder if it would happen.
It still isn't as dark as mine was by 5, but over the last couple of months it has gotten darker. Apparently my girls didn't notice until this morning.
