Kids do say the funniest things

I'm in the kitchen trying to tidy up after a long week, and Ava comes out of the bathroom...  "Momma!!!!!  There was corn stuck to my poopy!!! Did you hear me?  Corn!!!!"

I'm sure she wasn't seeing things... we had corn with our dinner last night... 

Westli: "I want to open the umbrella" as he hands me my umbrella. 

Me: "No, we are not going to do that right now Wes."

Westli:  "Come on now Buddy..."

I bought Taylor some new shoes.  His first pair with laces as he learned how to tie them in the last couple weeks.  He was whining that he couldn't get his foot in it, so I showed him how to pull the laces so that they were loose enough to get his foot in.  Then I told him to push this foot on my knee hard so that his foot would drop into the shoe... "Its okay Taylor, you can push hard on my knee." Taylor: "I know, you're a girl!"

New outfits

When Livi first saw this outfit, she said it looked like "someone drew flowers all over a jail shirt"!

Jon (who picked it out) said it resembled "Hamburgler after murdering Ronald McDonald"!

While somewhat more modest, Liv's outfit is pretty interesting also. The shoulders are leather ruffles with a leopard printed headband and green tule skirt...

Brain

As a study tool, I created is study map... T looks at it and says, "Is that a brain?" Me: "Yes, and these are all the things that can happen to your brain because your brain is very important." Ava: "Mom, Brains are what Zombies eat!"
