Anecdotes for the year

Before the year ended I wanted to record some of the things my kids have said in 2011. If you are friends with me on Facebook, most of this is old news to you. As usual, most of them are from Levi because of his age.

Emily: Abigail, you lost one of the sparkles on your shirts.

Abigail: It's ok. We have the be-twinkle thing to add another one.

Levi: We should leave jelly cookies out for Santa. He really likes jelly. That's why he is so fat. (Well, that explains the belly like a bowl full of jelly, doesn't it.)

Levi as I tucked him in to bed, "I am so tired. I am tired as a pig.". Where does he come up with this stuff???

Listening to Levi sing in the shower makes me smile. And he loves to sing in the shower. The problem is I can't ever get a sound recording of it because he stops as soon as he knows I am in the bathroom.

Abigail: Do you know why mommy knows what your are thinking so well?
Levi: Yes. She is a mind reader and sometimes that gets annoying.

Levi:We won't have eyes in heaven because it is just our skulls floating around.

Maybe I should explain to him that his teacher was saying souls not skulls. Ha!

Levi while trying to put Harry's leash on: "Mommy, I need help. Harry isn't concentrating." :)

Seth said something to Levi that wasn't very nice. Levi said, "Oh, yeah? Well I'm gonna kick you in the chin.". I just stared at him, so he changed it to, "I'm gonna kick you in the foot.". I continued to stare at him, and he smiled his best innocent smile at me and added "softly". I am going to have to keep my eye on those two. Can't you feel the brotherly love and affection???

Randy asked Seth is he was sore today (on Sunday he had a golf lesson and yesterday he learned to cross the wake behind the boat and even do some small hops - we are "stay-cationing" right now). Seth's very serious response: "Only when I move.". Ha!

Levi has to chose a community helper to dress up as and tell about at school. He wants to be a doctor. When I asked why he told me because doctors help kids not have cancer anymore. That answer makes me happy and sad at the same time - happy in his case it is true, sad that he has to be aware of cancer at his age.

Anybody else's child ever manage to ruin a pair of shoes before even leaving the shoe store? Ugh!

Levi: I want some salad on my sandwich

Levi: The dog's name is Stealer (aka Bandit).

Abigail: New York is the big chicken, right?

Levi: Apple pie is gooder for me because it has apples and they are healthy.

Levi: All you can eat is fish and chips? (after seeing a menu option of all-you-can-eat fish and chips).

Seth says apparently all the time. And Abigail's word is seriously.

Levi: I wish I had two tongues. Hmmmm......

Levi busted out singing "boom shaka yaka" one day. :-)

Levi: I am getting aggarated. (aka aggravated)

We can always tell when Seth knows a word from reading rather than from conversation because the pronunciation is wrong. Some examples written phonetically: Guess-turing, habit-u-ally, du-plu-city.
