April 2022 Family Funnies
Ellie: (singing) “Davy, Davy Crockett…”
Lexa: “Do you know what he’s the King of?”
Ellie: “Battleship!” (The game!) 😅🤣
Ellie is singing, “Bringing in the SHEEPS, Bringing in the SHEEPS…”🥰 (“Bringing in the Sheaves”)
Ellie asked if she could have one of my chocolate covered espresso beans. (She has tried them before) She made a little grimace when she got to the bitter center part, then says,
“Yum! Not bad at all!” 😊
Last month during Christian Skate Night, Grant & I had a political function that we were attending, so Xanna & Lizzy took the other kids. Ellie & I were talking about April’s Christian Skate Night & she says, “Are you going to take me tonight?” I said, “Yes, I am! But, wasn’t it so nice that Xanna & Lizzy took you last month when Papa & I couldn’t make it!?”
Ellie: “Yes, because you had a ‘Date Appointment’!” ❤ 🥰
Ellie has been quoting the Benjamin Cello DVDs, (which are awesome, they tell Bible stories with songs & I’m always amazed at what she’s learning!)
Anyhow, one day she was singing about “God shut the door & the water ‘world'”. I was trying to figure out what she meant & Lizzy suggested that maybe she was saying that the “water whirled”…which would make sense. So she was trying to explain to Ellie about “homophones” 😀
Lizzy: “Can you say, “Homophone!”
Ellie: “Ham-o-food”
We laughed.
Ellie: “Ham-o-phone?”
“The water machine that gives us water for our bath!”
Grant: “Do you mean the faucet?”
Ellie in the tub with ton of bubbles:
“I think there’s 60, 91 hundred bubbles.”
Me:, “Wow, that’s a LOT of bubbles! Are you sure there’s that many bubbles?!”
E: “Yes! There’s 40, 90 bubbles! 50, 60, 90, 1!”
Me: “That’s a big number!”
E: “Yes, That’s my number!” 😄
Ellie: “I’m calling this my allie-ent plant.”
Me: “What does that mean?”
Ellie: “It’s the one that blossoms and ‘groots’ flowers!” ❤ (Life with kids is amazing! And never dull!)
“Parenting achievement unlocked!” Lexa said as she made Logan snort root beer out his nose on his birthday. She was pretty proud of that.
Poor Logan was laughing so hard & trying to drink, so it went up his nose. When he could talk again, he says, “My cilia are on fire!” 🤣
Ellie: “Can I have some peanut butter for a snack?”
Me, whispering b/c we were in the middle of church time: “Yes, but just one spoonful, because we’re having yummy pulled pork sandwiches for lunch”
E: “😒 Poopy sandwiches? Yuck! That’s ‘isgusting’!”
Me: “Ellie! Pulled pork! Yummy! Like we had at our last potluck!” 🤣🤪😐
