“Look, there’s the refinery!”
“No, that’s the dump!” ๐๐คฃ
(Kids playing in the backseat on the way home from archery. I love hearing them playing nicely together & using their imagination. It just so happens that we were driving by a house with a lot of junk in the yard.)
I was putting Ellie to bed one night & she saw two 4’s on the clock. She says, “Look, there’s 2 chairs!” (If you look at a 4 upside down it looks like a chair) ๐
I was eating a salad one day & Ellie came over to cuddle. She knows I usually put dried cranberries on my salad, so her eyes lie up & she says, “Do you have cranberries on there?”
I said, “No, I forgot them!”
“Oh, I can get them for you! I know where they are!”
Me: “And then you can have some, too, right?” ๐
Ellie: “I love cranberries! You know better!” ๐
Grant gave Ellie one of his t-shirts. He said, ” You can take it to bed with you if you want! It smells like Papa!”
Ellie: “No, that’s not an idea!! Silly!” ๐ ๐คฃ
I was getting Ellenor ready for bed & I asked her if she wanted to watch baking with me for 5 minutes. She excitedly said yes. Then she asks, “Can I have an earbud like I did last night? The noisy one?”
Lucas was looking at his big remote car that he hadn’t driven in a while. There was some corrosion in the battery compartment & I helped him clean it out. It still wasn’t working, so he came back & said that Papa said we’d look at it this weekend when we had more time. “Because there was some corona inside it, so maybe that’s why it’s not working well!” ๐คฃ
We were talking at the dinner table one night about an actor in a movie getting married. Her name was Eleanor, which I said out loud. Ellie looks at me & says, “Huh?” (She thought I was talking to her). I explained we were talking about someone else. Lexa looks at Ellie & says, “Are you getting married?”
Ellie says, “No!” But then she thinks a minute & says, “But sometimes I get buried in the laundry!” ๐คฃ
Ellie was taking a bath & said, “I’m taking out the ice cream!” (Grant had bought the kids DF ice cream & she got some in her hair…)
Then she says, “Let’s get to be clean, so we can go out there with clothes! (I love how 3 year olds talk!) ๐
It’s fly season & Logan (14) looks up above the sink in the kitchen & saw a fly dangling by a spider’s “string”. He says, “Looks like we got some fly tape up already, huh?” ๐คจ๐คฃ
