They say the funniest things...

One thing that I really enjoy about my family is, we laugh ALOT! Sometimes I remember to write the funny stuff down and then blog about it... I hope you get a good laugh because I know we sure have!!

When Chris was in Mexico, me and the girls were bored one day and brainstorming some ideas of things we could do. It went a little something like this:

Me: "So girls, what should we do, any ideas?"

Lilly: "We should go to Walmart or the Dollar Tree and buy something!"

Me: "Well just because we're bored doesn't mean we should go shopping and buy something just to do it. God wants us to be wise with our money, besides I don't think we have the money to go spend like that." (trying to be the responsible adult, lol)

Olivia: "Well, we can just go get some money from the payers."

Me: Laughing, "Who are the payers?"

Olivia: "The people who give you money to buy stuff, of course!"


This also happened while Chris was in Mexico....

Me: "Hey Lilly, why don't you come outside and help me grass the water?"

Lilly: "Mama, do you know what you just said?"

I was going through the house gathering up all the laundry and was going crazy seeing all the toys strewn all over the house. There was a mega block in the corner, a stuffed animal peeking out from under the couch, books not where they belong (on the bookshelf when not being read!), toy trucks in the laundry basket, a doll under the kitchen table and after spending lots of time trying to clean up... I think steam started coming out my ears or something. So then what happens....?

Me, speaking in my very serious Mama voice: "Is there just a toy in every crook and nanny?"

Chris laughing histerically: "What was that Selena? Is there a crook in the house? You mean, every NOOK and cranny?!!"


I had asked Olivia to get the clothes out of the dryer for me when I hear...

Olivia: "Oh no!! Mama, you shtranked my dress!"

Me: Laughing, "I did what to your dress?"

Olivia: "You shtranged my dress? I don't know how you say it."

Me: "You mean, I shrunk your dress?"


Last week Lilly was getting ready, I was going to take her around the neighborhood to fundraise for the Girl Scouts.

Me: "Lilly, why don't you bring me the brush so we can fix your hair."

Lilly: "O.K. sure."

Me: "I know, we should put your hair in pig tails so you will be super cute and maybe people will want to buy from you even more then."

Lilly: "Oh, is that how you sell chocolate?"


This last one isn't really funny but it is OH. SO. SWEET.!!!

Olivia: "Mama, will you read this book to me?"

Me: "Sure sweet heart, hop up here on the couch and we can read it together."

After we read the book....

Olivia: "Mama, when I grow up, I want to be a Mama just like you."

That almost made me cry!
