One-liners:
Grant: Quit making so much laundry for me!
Grant: Mom, only boys get to pee outside, right?
Grant: My fortune says I'm gonna go to Africa!
Elena: I can't find my baby Dora and I'm gonna have a meltdown!
Elena: I'm sorry Mom... and I forgive you!
Elena: Mom, read my fortune... does it say I'm gonna get some money?
The kids were talking to Rick on the phone while he is in Minnesota. Keep in mind Elena has an excellent imagination and powerful story-telling skills!
Elena: Dad, where are you?
Rick: I'm at my hotel.
Elena: Are you far, far away?
Rick: Yep- I'm in Minnesota about 8 hours away.
Elena: How did you get there if it's so far away?
Rick: I drove my car.
Elena: Hey Dad, my sister Alicia is there too and she's missing me cuz she's far away!
Rick: Oh-uh-ok!
Elena: Dad, I have a plan! (plans are her new thing) Do you know where to find my sister Alicia?
Rick: Um, no I don't.
Elena: Dad, do you know how to get to town?
Rick: What?
Elena: Do you know how to get to town?
Rick: Um, I guess so.
Elena: Mom- it's a far town. He doesn't know how to get to far town. (shakes her head)
Me: Well, he might know.
Elena: Dad, do you know how to get to far town? Alicia is in far town and she's missing me. She can't drive back here cuz there's fog... and she can't see... she might have to walk.... (trailing off)
Me and Rick: {laughing}
Elena: I will find her myself!
Grant: Yum! I love Owanges!
Elena: Owens?
Grant: No- Owanges!
Elena: You can say Owen and Oranges!
Grant: Yep!
Elena: Mom, look! I want that baby!
Me: You already have lots of babies!
Elena: I want to go to a garage sale and get a new one!
Me: You don't need any more babies.
Elena: Mom, I have a plan!
Me: You do?
Elena: Yes! When I get big, I'm gonna be a Mama and put a baby in my tummy and then I will make her be boringed (born).
Elena got in bed with me overnight because she was cold, but when I woke up she was gone.
Me: Sissy, why did you go back to your own bed last night?
Elena: Mom, you were breavin' in my face and going (insert snoring sounds)
Me: What?!?! I don't snore!
Elena: Ya huh Mom! And your breaf stinks!
(Oh, the love)

Friday Funnies 10/5/12
Grant: Mom, do you want me to brush your hair?
Me: Oh yes! Mommy loves to have her hair brushed!
Grant: Ok.
Me: Just be careful of the pins in my hair.
(He proceeds to very intently brush my hair, but then he starts pulling my bangs out of the bobby-pins)
Me: Ok- thanks bub. That's enough.
Grant: (so serious) Mom... do you want to look like a punk?!?!
Elena: Mom, can we watch one more cartoon?
Me: No, it's getting late. You need to go potty and get ready for bed.
Elena: (sulking) Ok.
5 mins later...
Elena: (whining) Please Mom, can we please watch just one more cartoon please if we promise to be quiet?
Me: (in my tired Mommy growl) No! Go get ready for bed!
Elena: (from down the hall) Grant, Mom said (impersonating my growl) NO!
On a walk...
Grant: Can we go that way?
Me: No, that's the highway. We need to go this way.
Grant: Oh, cuz we gotta go the Low-Way?
Our dear friend Christy that lives up the street from us was having plumbing issues one evening so she asked if she could come down and give her son Eliot a bath at our house. I told her that was fine as long as she didn't mind having two additional kids join in!
Elena: Eliot has a little pee-pee 'cause he is a baby...
Christy: Oh- ok.
Elena: ... and Grant has a big pee-pee 'cause he's a big boy...
Christy: Mmmm-hmmm
Elena:... and my Daddy has a really, really, really...
Christy: (yelling) Hey, Carly...
(this is especially funny because Rick is SO private and not a "naked person" at all!)
Elena: Mom, when I find a grasshopper, I'm gonna put him in an acorn so he can turn into a butterfly.
Me: OK!?!?
Elena: Can I have this?
Me: It's a mint and it's hard so you have to be careful not to choke on it.
Elena: Ok.
(a few mins later)
Elena: Mom, I ate my mint all gone.
Me: Ok.
Elena: Mom, I chewed it and then I swallowed it and you know if you do that, it makes your brain healfy (healthy)!
Grant fell asleep in our bed the other night. He was laying on Rick's arm, so I said I would carry him to his bed. We have a king size bed and he was right in the middle, so I had to kneel on the bed so I could reach him. OH MY GOODNESS! He has gotten so stinkin' heavy! I scooped him up and could barely move to get out of the bed. And then Rick and I got laughing so hard that I thought I was going to drop him. He was so zonked out and just dead-weight! I guess I haven't carried him to bed in a while. He's definitely not a baby anymore!
Me: Oh yes! Mommy loves to have her hair brushed!
Grant: Ok.
