One more

I just had to add one more that just happened. We just had lunch, and while eating Bethany said, "Whoooooo! There I let the air out of my boobs, so I can fit more in there."

~The girls have been really into using their imaginations and playing with the Fisher Price Little People toys a lot lately. They have the house, boat, car, farm, and tons of animals and people. The other day Aaron and I overheard them playing and we heard, "Quick! Everyone into the boat! There's an oil spill!" Hmmm, do you think we have had the news on too much lately?

~Every night we all sit on the couch and read stories before bed. Shea of course must do everything by herself, so she reads her story to us. No, she can't read. She makes it up as she goes. Well last night she was taking like 20 minutes to read her book. By the time she got to the last page, Aaron blurted out, "And they lived happily ever after. The end." Shea gave him an evil look and just said, "Not quite." It was funny to us.

~Same night as I am tucking Shea into bed, she suddenly looks stricken and in a weak pathetic voice tells me, "Mommy, I don't feel well." I asked her what's wrong. She replied, "I need diamonds, mommy."

I have been slacking. The kids have been saying so many hilarious things lately, and I have probably forgotten half of them. Hopefully they will come back to me so I can write about them. Some of the ones I do remember are:

~At a BBQ on the 4th of July, we ate a LOT! After eating tons of food and dessert, Bethany came up to me and claimed she was hungry again. I asked her, "How can you still be hungry? We ate so much food, your belly must be filled up to the top!" Her reply was, "Yes, but my boobies aren't filled up yet."

~Bethany and Shea were playing doctor and Shea had the stethescope and was examining one of her baby dolls. Bethany was supervising. Then I hear, "No Shea! The heart is in the boobs, not the tummy!"

~"Daddy, you need to listen to mommy!" ~Random comment by Shea

~One evening Bethany asked me whats for dinner. I told her chicken and rice. She said, "What's wice?" Shea tells her "Rice Benny! You try rice before and you like it!" Bethany tells her, "No Shea. Mommy said Wice. WUH WUH WIIIIICE."

~One day I put on Shea's shirt that has a picture of a caterpillar on the front. She was very excited about it, and was showing everyone. Bethany randomly decides to tell her, "Shea, tadpoles turn into frogs." Shea tells her, "No Benny. Caterpillars turn into butterflies!" Bethany: "But tadpoles turn into frogs!" Shea starts to get irritated, "No Benny! Caterpillars turn into butterflies!!!!" Bethany gets louder, "Sheaaaaa! I'm telling you just that tadpoles turn into frogs!!" They kept arguing back and forth until they were yelling at each other about this. A half hour argument about this.

~We recently went to my grandparents house to visit with them for the day. While there, we saw a lizard on their picnic table on the back porch. My grandma set them up on little stools by the back door so they could watch it. Bethany suddenly announced, "There's 2 lizards now! What are they doing?" We go over to see, and my Grandma told her, "They are making babies." (Thanks a lot Grandma!) Once we got home, Bethany wanted to know why the lizard got on top of the other lizard to make the babies. Then she told me we need to go back and see the babies.

~Same visit, we were sitting down to eat, and Grandpa Greg got up and said, he forgot to get his pill that he needs to take with dinner. Bethany asked us, "Why does Grandpa Greg need a pillow?" Grandma laughed and told her, "Grandpa Greg is shrinking in his old age and need to sit on a pillow to see over the table." Well, Bethany takes everything extremely literally, so once Grandma told her that, you could not convince her otherwise. Grandpa Greg came back to the table, and Bethany promptly asked him why he is getting so old that he has to sit on a pillow to eat.

Must document this comment in case it is the last time she ever admits I am right. Bethany: "you know what mommy? I decided to go ahead and use toilet paper to wipe the pee off of my butt, and you were right! I DO need to use toilet paper!" (I have been trying to convince her of this for ages.)

Bethany: "I was holding my pee in my butt for a long time, mommy. I didn't see the Wonder Pets show on before, so I had to wait a long time to pee." (She waited to go pee until Wonder Pets was over.

While playing dress up, Shea came out dressed to the nines. Bethany tried to pick up her flowers, and Shea told her, "No Benny! You not a princess!! Only me!"

Bethany to Shea: "Okay S. It's time for DISCO!!!"

And private parts are still on her mind! At a friends house the other day, Bethany noticed their boxer dog's private parts. The dog (Gunner) is a male who has been fixed. Bethany was staring hard at the dogs butt and finally said, "Mommy, Gunner's buhjiba looks crazy!"

I get my hair dyed. I naturally have mousy brown hair, but lately I have been having it dyed darker brown with chunks of blond and red on top. At the dinner table Bethany was saying that my hair looks so pretty. Shea said, "You hair so pretty mommy, it looks like ketchup."

We live not too far from my own Grandparents, and my girls just love them so much. As an Army family they have not had the opportunity to live near any grandparents or aunts and uncles until this past year. They love both Grandma and Grandpa Greg very much but they know that they have Grandpa Greg wrapped around their little fingers. They will ask to call them, so I dial and as soon as Grandma answers they ask for Grandpa Greg. When he gets on the phone they will use their sweet innocent voices and say, "Gwampa Greg? you come ober to my house?" And he will clear his schedule! On days he has to work, Bethany has told him to call her, so he does on his dinner break! They have him trained!

One thing about my grandparents is that they are coffee addicts! In the morning, after meals, in the evening, afternoon, just about anytime. It is not uncommon to hear my Grandma with her New York accent yelling, "Greg! You want your coffee now?" Maybe that is why Shea has begun greeting me in the morning with, "Mommy! I need my coffee!" Also she pretends to give her babies bottles of coffee. "Ok baby! Time to drink you coffee now!" When I give her a cup of juice she will also tell everyone that she is drinking her coffee.

On another note, I get endless material from my kids when they are in the bathtub. Oh the things you should not have to tell another person not to do! I can't just make a list because I have the memory of a goldfish, and there will likely be more material in the future, so for now I will just throw them in whenever and try to number them. Today's is #1, and I have sadly had to say this one more than a few times to my kids.
#1 "Do not lick your sisters butt!"

~ Last night as I was cooking dinner, Bethany was sitting at the dining room table playing with a little toy giraffe, little dinosaur, and a little people woman. The woman was the mom, the giraffe was the Dad and the dinosaur was the kid. And her pretend play sounds just like our real life! lol
Mom: Dinosaur, go to your room, right now!
Dinosaur: No!
Mom: what have I told you about that?
Dinosaur: No!
Giraffe: Do you think I'm messing around with you?! Get in your room now!

~Last night at Dinner: Shea- "Mommy cooks the bestest foods!" :D

~This morning while playing outside with her friends, Landon and Jade. They were playing in the dirt pretending to cook. Landon asked Shea, "Will you marry me?" Shea replied, "Not right now! I makin dinner." Landon will make a good little husband. Shea already orders him around and he obeys! Recently he arrived at our house and Shea walked over and shoved a baby doll in his arms and ordered him to hold the baby. Then she went back to her room. He did hold onto that baby until Shea came back and took the baby back from him.
