December/January 2020 Family Funnies
The kids all wanted to sign our Christmas cards, so as I finished a stack of cards, we laid them out on the dining room table for kids to walk around & sign each one.
One day, I asked kids to sign a few last cards & Ellie comes to me & says, “Where did you put my purple signing card?” (She had been using a purple pen to sign each card)
Lexa was resting in my recliner one day during lunch & her pregnant cat fell asleep in her lap. She says, “I haven’t the heart to make a pregnant woman move. I guess I’ll stay here.” 💜
Ellie was playing with Keira’s juggling balls & kept calling them “jingling” balls.
Ellie calls chess “check” and says, “I playing check with Papa!” 💙
On Christmas Eve, after driving through the festival of lights…Ellie was asking if McKaylee was going to spend the night & we said yes. Then she says to me, “Mama, Kaylee staying for presents!” 🥰
Ellie was blowing some bubbles & raspberries & I said, “What are you doing?”
Ellie says, “Those is just grapes!”
“Oh, you mean raspberries!?” 💙💜
Ellie & I were up early one morning & with her medicine regiment, she has to drink her juice with drops before she can eat. So she & I were drinking together & she finished. She got so excited & said, “Yay! Now I can eat my ‘kumpin’ muffin!” (Pumpkin) 😁
I was “hanging” upside down on my new inversion table that Grant bought me for Christmas (which is awesome & I’ve been wanting for a long time…)
Grant comes over & says, “What are you wearing? Are these old lady compression socks?”
I say, “No! They are just knee high socks that I love!”
Lexa pipes in with, “Well, you are married to an old lady, Papa!” 😩🤦♀️🥴😒🙄😯🤔
Ellie just came up to me & says, “I want to talk to you about Jesus!”
I pick her up & say, “Yes, let’s talk about Jesus! Do you know how much He loves you!!?”
She replies with…”Yes…And, I’m poopy.” 🙄🤔😒🥴🤦♀️😩🤣
It’s Dec 29th & blizzard conditions. The kids wanted to go outside & shovel & play and I said yes. About 5 minutes later, Emma (8) comes back in & says, “I got snow up my nostril!” Lol…I had to ask her to repeat it to clarify I heard it correctly. 😄😁😅
While the kids were outside shoveling, Ellie colored in Lizzy’s sketchbook. I asked her to apologize when Lizzy came back in & Ellie says to Lizzy, “I’m sorry, (holding her finger), my finger did it!” 🤦♀️🙄
We went shopping after Christmas & bought some clearance dog toys. Eowyn was playing with one while we played RISK on New Year’s Eve & it was squeaking incessantly. Lexa asks me, “Did your dog have any squeaky toys growing up?”
I said, “No, my dogs were not nearly as spoiled as Eowyn!”
Lizzy pipes up with, “Did they even have squeaky toys way back then?” 🤔😂🙄🥴😁
Lucas was singing “Where did you come from, where did you go, where did you come from, ‘Batman Joe'” 🤣 I love how the kids just use words they know if if sounds similar to them…. haha (it should be “Cotton-eye Joe,” not “Batman Joe”).
