In the rain

I was going to clean the kitchen.  I'm glad I waited until later!  

Bubba Bites

Some funny things Bubba said while getting tickled/having a pillow fight:

"Hey Mike...I got somethin for ya" (hiding a couch pillow behind her and then dropping it forcefully on his face)

"HEY! Stop tickling me! I SAID STOP TICKLING ME!!!! You're on my team, Momma. You're supposed to throw pillows, not be ticklish"

"Nice catch, big guy!"

Negotiations

"....And in the middle of negotiations, you break down."

A dinner conversation:

Bubs: Momma, I want a snack too
Me: You need to finish your sandwich
B: I don't want to, I want some strawberries
--15 minutes of negotiations--
B: the only way you are going to get me to eat that sandwich is if you give me a strawberry. A STRAWBERRY!!!
M: The only way you are going to get a strawberry is if you eat your sandwich
B: mmmmmMMMMMMMM! (with accompanying angry face and subsequent stomping off to her room)
--5 minutes later, a return to the conversation--
B: The only way you are going to get me to eat my sandwich is if I can eat a strawberry
M: You need to eat your sandwich first (I get up to put the strawberries away)
B: Don't you do that!! Don't do that!!!!
M: I'm doing that
--I proceed to the fridge to put the strawberries away on the top shelf and a chase ensues
B: That's not where you put them before (stomps off to bedroom again

End Scene

I Spy

A friendly game of I spy in the dark.
Emily: "Hey Cara! Wanna play I spy?"
Cara: "Sure"
E: "Ok, I'll go first. I spy...my little eye....something that is green........and dark.......and.............in the dark-en-ness."
C: "Is it trees?"
E: "Yes."

The Simpson-ellas

They aren't exact, but pretty close!

Toes

Just in case anyone was wondering what to do with their gloves in the off season.

Cara from the backseat of the car: "We want scorn! We want scorn!!"
(Not sure where she got that one from)


Me: "Cara, it's time to get your shoes on"
Cara: "Mommmm! I can't! It's not my dream!!!"
Me: "........what?"
Cara: "It's not my dream!!!"


Cara: "Mom, I know you want us to stay little to the ground like babies because we're cute. But mom. God made us to grow and do our stuff as big people"
(This was in reference to some potty training incident. I had written down the quote and stuffed it in the pocket of some pants that I hadn't worn in a year or so and just found it. Better than finding money).

Me: "Cara you need to eat some more of your dinner."
Cara: "Momma, my belly is full of food."
Me: "Oh. That's ok, I'll just eat your dessert then."
Cara: "Weeeeeellll, see it's really only full of chicken. I can make some room really quick for those cookies. And if I eat the cookies then my belly won't be full anymore and I can have some more."

Mike: "Isn't Fanny a nice kitty?"
Cara: "Yeah, but where are her balls?"

Cara: "Mom, I've got work to do with my balls!"
(Said from the cart in Joanne Fabrics just loud enough to shock and appall som buffer moms and make them walk away very fast).

Cara is awesome!!
