sean said:
"When you get a baby out….
(i thought….oh no where is this leading?')
can it cry so much that it would run out of breath?"
*************************************************************************
after sean came home from a play date i asked "did you say thank you?"
he said "Oh no! i was having such a good time i just forgot!"
*************************************************************************
annie asked:
"does food go into your throat, down to your tummy
and into your toes and that's how we get energy?!"
i answered "ummmm….yes!" to make it easy.
sean said "hey!….that's NOT what happens to food!"
************************************************************************
annie asked last night "why does bread have sugar in it?"
she was eating cinnamon sugared toast.
and before i could say that it didn't she shouted……
"Cause the chicken wanted to get to the other side!"
*************************************************************************
while walking the dog annie remembers something:
"Oh mom…you forgot to get me to ride a unicorn!"
me: "i did? was i supposed to do that?"
annie "yes. don't worry we'll do it in…..6 years."
**************************************************************************
sean did not want to ride go carts yesterday.
then he finally got brave and did it.
while walking to the car he said
"i wish i wouldn't have not wanted to do that before. it was great."
me: "well, next time you are nervous about something you can tell yourself –
remember the go-karts"
he answers seriously "yeah well i am never going to be a doctor.
you have to touch feet AND privates….gross!"
huh?
*************************************************************************
for some reason my kids think it's hilarious to see a man in a suit riding a bike.
they laugh and laugh.
the other night the conversation over ice cream went like this:
sean: wouldn't it be funny to see a man in suit on a bike?
scott: or on a bike in a diaper?
talby: or in a diaper on tricycle?
scott: with a beanie hat with a propeller?
annie: yeah!! a diaper! hahahahahahahahahha!!!!"
that would be pretty funny.
************************************************************************************
at bible study i served sloppy joes.
sean asks "did you make these mom?"
me: yes sean. you'll like them. they are the same that i always make.
sean: are the same as dad makes?
(craig makes sloppy joes occasionally when he has to cook)
me: yes, they are the same as dads…it's our secret man-wich recipe.
sean realizes i am kidding about the secret and says:
"well it should be a secret because it's so good!"

funny stuff.
Rachel - Wow that looked like fun…it’s soo fun and simple when the family gathers around for a good ol game..and pizza…was that homemade pizza? I tried doing that last week and my 3 year old replied “can I have sometin else…I dunt wike it” must have been pretty bad, I ate it anyway so I didn’t hurt my own feelings.
traci - i think every girl in america, young and old, should throw caution to the wind and dress like your little annie. look how happy she is. i think it has something to do with her fabulous fashion sense. where what you like, when you like, no matter what. go annie!!!
lorel - I sometimes get verklempt when I look at your blog. Who knew? Let’s discuss…call 555-4444. Give a call..we’ll talk…no big whoop.
Sandra - I’m always looking for new games to play with my grandchildren. This one looks like one we would all enjoy! Unless, like you say, it turns out to be one of those bickering, pouting, “I don’t want to play any more!” times — yes, those happen sometimes at Nana’s house too.
LOVE the outfit. Shows alot of creativity (and self-confidence!)
Allikayes Mama - That looks like a great game! And let me just say…that girl knows how to pick put an outfit! Priceless!! hehehe! Oh…how’s life with the new puppy going?/ Any “Meg” type funny stories?? :0)
Deb - I love C3PO.
PamperingBeki - Stalkers are family too, ya know? Why wasn’t I invited to game night? haha!
Is that Papa Murph’s pizza? I LOVE their pizza.
Adorable pictures, as always! Oh, and I kind of like the shaggy hair look on boys so I think he should keep it. 😉
katie - we’re on a connect four streak…or that’s what i’m calling it cause it’s been scattered on my floor for weeks!
how do you keep your kids from eating all of the gumballs?
Art Cant Hurt - Just checking in and am relieved to find that your family is sometimes prone to gametime-party-poopers also! We’ve got a few of those!
Looks like tons of fun! Again, I’m wishing we were neighbors and I could just walk across the yard and ask to borrow Whoonu for our family night! Take care!
Lorilee - Looks like such fun! We don’t play games too often! Scrabble is a tradition that my Step mom started with the grandkids when we are staying in their camper. I am astounded thatmy 13 year old son loves it! He likes Chess, but it takes too much concentration to be fun for me! My son also likes UNO and Connect Four. I like Chicken Foot dominoes!
Blessings,
Lorilee
that girl - My older kids just discovered “Clue” and that was a fun game to teach them. Game nights are our favorite over here.
Staci - I’m so glad to hear that board games are frustrating for other people too 🙂 We TRY…we REALLY try…but it so does try your patience, doesn’t it!!! Thanks for keeping it real! We’ll have to give Whoonu a try 🙂 I say leave his hair too 🙂 What a cutie! sorry about your Jayhawks last night…BUMMER!
Queenie Bee - We love games too!!! I hope you guys are participating in “THe Million Minute Family Game Challenge”. (millionminute.com) It’s really fun. Our entire cub scout pack is playing along!
Lori Eurto - How stinkin cute. Your family looks so much fun. Can you adopt me?

Aby - Looks like loads of fun. I’m with you though… any type of “planned fun” around our house always seems to go terribly wrong.. I usually end up feeling like Mommy Dearest when it’s all over.. I think my expectations are always too high.. I’m picturing “Norman Rockwell”.. I usually get “Married with Children”. Unplanned always seems to work better for us… it just happens naturally when we’re ALL in the right frame of mind.
