Kid Convos

More random convos my kids have...

• When skyping with the kids they asked what we were doing. We told them the movers were coming to Seth's house the following day. Seth took very little furniture with him when he moved to North Carolina so Owen said, "Why are the movers going to Daddy's house - all you need is five boxes and one roll of duct tape."

• As we are driving to Kansas and there was a very pretty hill with flowers growing on it Owen says, "Whoa, that's a beautiful view. Whoa, that's a beautiful grassy mountain."

• As he looks at the clock Owen announces, "It's nine 18 o'clock!"

• After seeing a beautiful sunset Owen said, "God made an awesome world.

• When skyping with us after we arrived in England and we had horrible jet lag Owen saw how tired I was and said, "I'm guessing you'd like to come back to America, huh?"

• When teaching me how to play a game on his XBox Owen very seriously praised me by saying, "You're doing good for a beginner, Mommy."

• After listening to the chorus of Hunter Hayes' 'If You're Gonna Be Someone's Heartbreak' Ethan says, "Wow, he sounds desperate.

• After spending the week with his dad he was telling me about the continental breakfast in the hotel he stayed in, "They have donuts! And Cakes! And eggs!" Then he leans in to me and whispers, "And they even have freeeench tooooast."

• Telling his dad goodbye, "Bring it in for a hug big guy. Oh, and don't miss your flight."

• After seeing a commercial for a toy I said, "You kids have weird things nowadays." To which Ari responds, "Ya'll had weird things too when you were a kid, like a giant radio you had to wind up before listening to it."

Kiddie Talk

As I've mentioned before, I keep a journal of all the silly/clever/witty/insert adjective things the kids say. Seriously, I have two journals full. For this week's 'Kid Post' I thought I'd share a few with ya'll. So without further ado...

- Owen: Ethan, would you be mad if I asked you this question - Why you gotta be so mean to your little brothers and sisters?

- Owen hit his head and Ariana laughed. Owen replied, frustrated, "Would you like it if you died and I was laughing my butt off?"

- After mentioning our old neighbor Ally Owen asks, "Who is Ally?"
Ariana: The girl that talked really loud. 
Owen: Oh! Jordan?!

- After talking about weddings Ethan stated, "Every time they say kiss the bride they just mean kiss for like ten minutes straight."

- As she's doing a slow motion run she's making the noise "wooo-piiiing, wooo-piiiing..." After doing that for a good two minutes she said, "Okay...I'm getting tired of 'woooo-ping'."

- After seeing a photo of a cute baby animal Owen said, seriously, "I've gotta go get Ari, it's a real emergency of cuteness."

- After Owen made a witty comeback he cooly said, "Boom. Cut her like a knife." (while making a cutting motion with his hand.

- On moving day the Ari asked where all our belongings were going. I replied, "It's all going in the U-haul."
Ari: U-haul? Hmmm, I always thought it was UTAH!"

- When we got to our new town we were driving around to familiarize ourselves with the area when we saw a sign for the local YMCA. Ethan also spotted the sign and asked about it. After I explained to him what the Y was he said, still sounding confused, "Oh wow, I always thought the YMCA was just a song."

Those are my kids, and they say the darnedest,

Kids Say the Darnedest

As I've mentioned before, I keep a journal of all the silly/clever/witty/insert adjective things the kids say. Seriously, I have two journals full. For this week's 'Kid Post' I thought I'd share a few with ya'll. So without further ado...

• When getting into the hot truck that was parked in the driveway in the hot North Carolina heat Owen says, as he fanned himself in an attempt to cool down, “I hope tomorrow it’s Winter!”

• While on the lookout for a Starbucks Owen says to Ariana very sternly, “Keep your eye out, Ariana. Keep! It! Out!”

• After Ari and Ethan finished each other’s sentences several times Ari said, “I think me and Ethan share a brain; like I have a part of Ethan’s brain and he has a part of my brain.” Owen, feeling left out, asks, “And me?” Ariana looked at him, rolled her eyes and said, “You have a miiiiiind of your own!”

• Owen, after watching Jersey jump a far distance, “Mom, I want to be a cat because they are like ninjas – Little. Tiny. Baby ninjas.”

• Owen, after being outside in the 90+ degree heat, “I’M SWEATING LIKE A MONKEY!!!! Even though I don’t know if monkeys sweat or not…”

• As he was showing off some of the toys he got for his birthday Owen says, very seriously, “And I got a doctor kit just in case someone is dead.”

• After getting several correct math problems (that a six year old typically wouldn’t be able to solve) I asked Owen if he was sure he wasn’t getting help from his brother or sister. He insisted he was getting the answers all on his own. He ran off to his room for a minute and came back and said, “I know what’s 16 times 16.” Me: What Owen: 24 Me: Nope. 256, even I had to use a calculator Owen: turning toward his bedroom and yells, “ARI! YOU WERE WRONG!!!!”

• Shortly after the above conversation^^^^ Owen says to me: Momma, I know what's 8 times 8. Me: What? Owen: 16 Me: Are you sure about that? Owen: Yup, and guess how I know that? Me: How? Owen: Because I'm smart.

• Owen: "Sometimes I have to do this" leans head on hand, "because sometimes my head gets heavy."

I've got a lot more where that came from,
