I Want My Money Back

When my sister was here she introduced our family to the singer, Lenka. My girls LOVE the music video on youtube. Sadie wants to watch it all of the time and has almost all of the words memorized.
The other day she was walking around the house singing, "I want my dollar back!I want my dollar back!"
Here is a link to the video that they love;

Enjoy "The Show"


This other Lenka song is basically Sadie's theme song. :D

Ursula Has Great Powers

Sadie:
"When my teacher at preschool gets mad she sounds just like the sea witch on Little Mermaid."

Do you think this is before or after she morphs in to the giant monster?

It Couldn't Be So

On the way home from picking up Bethanie, Sadie declared,
"Brady is too cute to be made of snakes and snails and puppy dogs tails!"

How Can I Help You?

Many of my faithful few readers know that I work from home. I work for an airline based in Kuwait. They fly between Kuwait to Baghdad and back. Our customers consist mostly of military personnel and contractors. I take reservations and answer questions.
I have worked for Gryphon Airlines for a little over a year. My kids have listened to me take reservations for a little over a year.
Someone listening in on my kids playing might just raise an eyebrow.
Sadie: "What is your confirmation number?"
This is where Bethanie makes up a number.
Sadie: "Would you like to go to Baghdad or Kuwait?"
Bethanie: "I will be going to Baghdad. Do I need a VISA?"
Sadie: "No. Will you be carrying on your luggage?"
Bethanie: "Yes"

Future reservationists...

Let Me Clarify

We have all been unusually tired around here. I am pretty sure we are fighting some bug. We are talking 7pm and we are wondering if it is bedtime yet, kind of tired. That is after getting a nap during the day!
The kids are also tired. Unfortunately, it is taboo to take a nap when you are that age. Sadie has been crying for a week about EVERY LITTLE THING!!
I told her that people don't want to play with her when she is acting like that. She said she was done crying.
About 5 minutes later she was crying about something else that was ridiculous. I said, "Sadie! Stop crying!"

"I am not crying mom.... I am whining."

Fashion Savvy

Sadie is usually a very fashion conscientious child. She even likes to advise the brethren at church on fashion. She has recently amended her firm stance that "boys don't know fashion" to "SOME boys don't know fashion", but as a whole, she is an authority on the matter and the boys don't know as much as she does.
This morning she insisted on dressing herself. She got quite creative. I think I am going to have to specify that she picked this one out on her own.

(Yes, the look on her face is an angry one. She didn't really want her picture taken.)

What a Bore

Last night Sadie told Sean that sleeping is "too long and boring". She just doesn't like doing it.
Apparently pre-school is even more long and boring because she told Jeff,
"When I am at school I just sleep with my eyes open..."
