From the mouths of children....

I'm constantly in awe of the creative, emotional, funny, innocent, thought provoking, sometimes hurtful, shameful, dramatic and every once in awhile, desperate things that come from the mouths of my children.

There are several times that I find myself utilizing my facebook status as a "quote of the day" for one of the kids. This gave me the thought to make an on-going blog post with these wonderful things, so that I might remember them forever ( and can read back with them some day.)

I'm not sure if I'll be categorizing them in bunches such as:

"excuses for not wanting to go to sleep" and "why I can't clean up"

or "general uncomfortable questions that MUST be answered immediately."

There could always be a category called: "Charming techniques I use to get what I want," or "things that I say that make my mom smother me with kisses."

Either way I do it, I'm sure it will be edited frequently, for aesthetic purposes and will ideally be added to every day!

Jack on his age and size.
"I'll eat strawberry's when I'm 4 mom."
"I can't go to sleep by myself mom, I'M ONLY 3 YEARS OLD!"

"I'm going to be 4 on my birthday, Oh ya, Oh ya, Rock star baby!" as he swings his hips.

Jack not wanting to be alone:
"Kyla will you please take a bath with me?" No says Kyla. " AAAWWWEEE - YOU NEVER" in a really bummed out and pouty voice, even though she did 3 nights in a row prior.
"You NEVER" is his current answer to when anyone says no.

Kyla trying to get out of stuff.
"My feet don't work mom, I can't get dressed"
"that is soooooooo boring."

In getting out of going to sleep, picture all in a row, within 5 minutes.
" I think I'm going to throw up."
" my head hurts"
" I'm hungry"
" I can't close my eyes"
"I thought of something bad"
" I just can't sleep alone anymore"
"I'm thirsty"
"why do you always lay with Jack?"

Kade at the motocross show:
"I haven't been this happy in like 6 weeks!!"

Just random:
If you ask Jack a question he doesn't know the answer to his answer is:
" I cant know"
If his answer is because, and I say, "because why?" He says:
"because WHY I said"

As we were laying in bed the night of Easter:
Kade: "mom, I had the best Easter EVER - until you and dad ruined it by yelling at me."

Kyla: Mom, I'm hungrier than 1,000,000 zebra's and my tummy feels like there are spider webs in it.
