Yesterday we were at Costco and Aubrey saw an Indian woman dressed in traditional clothing. I was zoning out and I hear Aubrey say "look a cape!" So I brush it off and she keeps saying it louder until I notice who she's talking about. So I try to hush her and she says "it's a cape, just like Elsa wears!" Luckily I don't think the woman heard us.
One day Shane was having a rough day and just being super emotional. He was crying in his room and Aubrey comes over and says, "ok let's have a talk with that brudder (brother)!"
Last one for Shane. I've been watching say yes to the dress since that's the only thing in tlc lately. So Shane tells Aubrey - "one day someone is going to ask you to marry them and you're going to have to say yes."
Henry started having bad drop offs in the mornings after I went away on a work trip for a couple of days and it was a nightmare. He would scream, cry and basically just throw an all out tantrum. Well I started to talk to him on the car ride over about what would happen during the day to prepare him, and that he didn't need to cry because I would be back to pick him up at the end of the day.
So for 3 days in a row it went something like this: Me: "Ok Henry, Let's talk about your day. I am going to be dropping you off in a few minutes and I don't want you to scream or cry. You are going to have a fun day and play in the morning, then you will have some lunch..." so on and so forth
Well he had great drop offs every morning we did that. So on that Thursday (the 4th day) I didn't think to go through my whole speech again because he had been doing so well. Apparently Henry was not ok with that so about 3 minutes into our drive I hear from the backseat: H: "Ok Mommy, let's talk about it...there will be no screaming, no crying, I'm going to have fun, eat lunch, take a nap and then you are going to come get me."
It cracked me up...and now he tells me this every morning on the way to drop him off.

Cosette likes to pile up the pillows in one corner of the couch and claim that she going to her "crack". It's where she is making her "Cackoon" (cocoon).
Oh and from this morning...Henry is obsessed with Jurassic Park. OBSESSED. Well last night Jurassic Park III and the original were on and I couldn't get him away from the TV. So this morning he wakes up and I am setting him up on the couch with some breakfast and a show so I can get ready for the day(because he's up at 4:45am)and I put on Sprout because nothing else is on that effing early. He looks at me and says: H: "ummmm...I want to watch Jurassic Park" Me: "Jurassic Park is not on now" H: "What?! You didn't tape it last night?!"
Today Emma was jumping on the sofa yelling Woohoo! Woohoo! I told her that she could woohoo on the sofa, but no jumping. She looked at me and said 'mom, I'm just having a little fun. Stop hatin' WTAF.
I do tell DH to stop hatin when he is picking on my cooking skills, but I'm shocked she used it properly.
The other day he told me he wanted to pee in my belly button.
Oh D....
One of J's latest (I assume because of E) is "when I was a little baby..." like we talked about going somewhere or doing something many years ago, like even before we were married, and she will say "yeah, when I was a little baby I do that." Um, no sweetie, you didn't you weren't even aliveyet. Half the time she doesn't even know what or where we're talking about!
She said something the other day that H and I were both practically rolling on the floor over, but of course I can't remember it now... Drat.

Tyler always asks to drive my car, and I tell him no, because he doesn't have a license. He tells me to go to target and get him one.
He also negotiates everything. I'll tell him he can earn an M&M by doing X, and he'll say okay and do it, and then he tries to negotiate more out of me. "Well how 'bout one per hand?" "Ok, how 'bout one MM and one jellybean?" "How 'bout..." He's ridic.

The other day we were at my IL's house going potty. The toilet paper holder is white with speckles. First I had to convince her that, no, the speckles weren't ants. I told her the dots were to make it pretty. This is the conversation that followed: E: "who put those dots there?" Me: "I don't know." E: "maybe God...OR (and her eyes get really big with excitement) MAYBE THE PLUMBER!!!"
She also told me the other day "daddy is my husband. And he's Nicky's husband. And he's your brother."

I'm just going to keep going because I think my kids are hilarious.
A while ago Aubrey told us that Shane had a handle on his belly. Which we thought was funny but she never mentioned it again. Then today Shane had some troubles in the bathroom and I came in to help. Of course Aubrey followed me in and when Shane pulled up his underwear his penis was sticking out the front for a moment and Aubrey says "look Shaney's handle is sticking out"
Tumaini has an imaginary friend called Annie. We supposed it was a girl, but she corrected us: " He's a boy because he has a penis. He had a beard but he took a shower and it fell off".
No wonder she's scared of the shower.
She also said in front of company: "Liam has a small penis. Daddy has a BIG penis." H was so proud.
Tyler always asks to drive my car, and I tell him no, because he doesn't have a license. He tells me to go to target and get him one.
He also negotiates everything. I'll tell him he can earn an M&M by doing X, and he'll say okay and do it, and then he tries to negotiate more out of me. "Well how 'bout one per hand?" "Ok, how 'bout one MM and one jellybean?" "How 'bout..." He's ridic.
Hanna does negotiating also, but she doesn't quite get the concept. She'll negotiate less stuff which works out in my favor. She'll ask how many of something she can have and I'll say 3. "How about 2 Mommy, that sounds better!"
Last night we were on the way home from the fair and I was asking V and her friend what they had to eat/drink. They mentioned the few things that they had and that they drank pop. Hanna exclaims "No, you can't have pop for dinner, you have to have milk!" "Hanna did you have milk with your meal?" She got super quiet because she did not, and then she giggles and says "NO!"
The funniest lately, that I can remember, was when we were making dinner last week and Hanna was sitting on the counter helping me. All of a sudden out of the blue she raises her hands and exclaims "Put your hands in the air, wave like you just don't care!" I lol'd and asked her where she learned that. Apparently it's in the new movie Home.
bliz1712, it totally is from that movie. How cute!
Henry has started telling Cece "Clever Girl!" anytime she does anything. She can roll over, "talk" to him, burp, doesn't matter...just anything. I've tried explaining what it means to him but apparently it doesn't matter. If a Velociraptor can be clever so can Cece no matter what she is doing.

Apparently a lot of our kids think all things good (or bad) come from Target. I think the Target execs should be proud. Marketing is doing something right.
Cosette asked H last night at bedtime if girls can get tattoos. "of course". Then how old? "18". She informed him she was going to get a butterfly. I came in and told her he was lying and that the real age was 36 and that is why I don't have one yet. She knows I'm 43 but can't count that high yet so she doesn't grasp that 36 is before 43. So I told her I'm waiting until I'm 36. I'm evil.
I've been selling cloth diapers we don't need online and every time we go to mail them Robin says we're going to the "toast office."
Today we went to the indoor play space at the gymnastics center. Every time we go he looks longingly into the main room so I've started reminding him that he can go in when he starts classes in a few weeks. Well he obviously misheard me, because today he kept asking for my glasses so he could go in the big room.
We don't get the Target, simply because we don't have one here to frequent. But we do frequent the Pizza Ranch so Hanna knows that by heart and requests it all the time. She even asked for it on vacation. She can tell when we are close to driving by and one time she asked if we could go there. I know she's at an age where I can slightly fib to her about things, so I told her they were closed. "no Mom, there are cars there. I bet they are open!" Smart little stinker!
