Oh, The Things They Say

Aren't children just such a treat to be around? they say the funniest things sometimes. Today I'm doing a post with random funnies from our house.

Brooke: (after shrieking loudly) "Did I blow your earballs out?"
*************************************************

Brooke: "Dad, last one up has to make the bed."
Dad: "No, I don't think so."
Brooke: "Yes, that's the way it is."
Dad: "Not for Daddy and Mommy."
Brooke: "Yes, it is."
Dad: "That's shocking."
Brooke: "Shocking? It'll shock you if you don't."
*************************************************

Jamison, while watching Mom wash a big kettle.: "I thought that was supposed to be stainless steel."
Mom: "It is stainless steel."
Jamison: "No, it isn't. Look, there's a big stain on the bottom.:"
************************************************
Annika, during Bible School: "Are we the children of Israel? Are we going to build up the Twin Towers?"

************************************************
Logan, referring to a concession stand, called it a 'consolation stand'.

I was telling Brooklyn about the activities we had planned. After each event, she would say, "And then what?" So I would tell her the next thing on the agenda. When I got to the end, she said, "And then what?" I said, "That's all." She looked at me and said, "And then we'll be dead?"
*************************************************
Brooke: "Mom, you might've not knowed this, but when Annika was born, I was still up in Heaven and God was making me."
*************************************************
Jamison: "Peter Piper pickled a pickle on his hot pepper plantation."
*************************************************
Brooke: "My tummy is getting full, but I can still put jelly bread in my mind."
*************************************************

As you can tell, the three year old is the funny one around here. I think I should just follow her around for a whole day and write down every thing she says. And her prayers, oh my. There are the cutest/funniest ever. I bet God loves to hear three year olds pray.

And a few sweet pictures....

Jamison raised this watermelon in his own garden this year. I think it was the best watermelon I ever tasted. He was so proud of it!

These little ladies can spend hours in imaginative play. They filled many buckets with 'water' this particular day, from our old broken pump.

The actors in a Robin Hood play the children did for us recently.

Life with kids. What a treat!
