July/August 2021 Family Funnies

I was trying to get Ellie to bed & she was having a fussy evening. Finally in desperation I offered to leave the door cracked for her. I left it a 1/4 of the way cracked.

She says, “No! A bigger open!”

Ellenor was wrapped up in my blanket & I said (teasingly), “Hey, why are you using MY blanket? I just saw you bring yours out!”

E: “I can’t use mine, the kids are wrapped up in it!” (She had wrapped it around her favorite Rabby & a baby doll)

Ellie was in the bath & after about 2 minutes she says, “OK, I’m done, I’m ready to get out.”

I say, “You just got in! Why don’t you stay a bit longer.”

Ellie: “Like 3 hours? Is that a bit longer?” 🤣

30 seconds later… tub drains.

I asked Ellie if she wanted to go watch a movie with the others. She says, “No, I want to hang out with you. Let’s hang out together.” ❤💜

We were driving around down in Springfield, on our way to our hotel after a LONG day. We started singing songs, which we enjoy while driving & Ellie was enjoying it until the kids started singing one that she didn’t know. Then she calls out, with a wince, “Moooom! Can you make these kids stop?”

Our Mama cat was very pregnant & we were expecting kittens any day. The kids asked if they could bring her cage to the front room for Bible time one morning when she was thought to be in labor. I said no, as she would be a distraction & we would also distract her.

Logan pipes up with, “A watched cat never kittens.”
