Funny Conversations With Emily

Emily is one crazy little girl! Here are a few things she has said lately:

We are sitting down to a nice family dinner of baked rigatoni earlier in the week. Alex has managed to knock all of his food off his plate and onto the table. Emily pointed out the "error of his ways" and I said it was ok, he's still learning and he can be a pig in the process. Emily says "Alex is a pig but I'm not. I'm a butterfly. ...They aren't messy." Priceless!

Emily stopped me one morning from pouring cereal to tell me that "I'm not a butterfly anymore. Now I'm a doggie. And a door." What a nut! :)

We had pancakes for breakfast this morning and I asked Emily which she would prefer on top of them, butter or peanut butter. She said she wanted both and I said she could only have one or the other. She then looks at me with all seriousness and says "I want the other". And which one would that be kiddo?!?! What a funny girl!! :)

Gotta Love 3 Year Olds!

Emily's teachers sent home a questionnaire that Emily filled out at school a few weeks ago. Thought you might like to see what she came up with! :)

My daddy's name is "Daddy".
My daddy is "1" years old.
He weighs "5 lbs" and is "1 feet" tall.
His hair is "brown" and his eyes are "blue".
My dad loves to relax by "taking a nap on the couch".
He likes to wear "comfy pants".
His favorite household chore is "crafts".
His favorite TV show is "the one with a red dot".
His favorite song is "Bob & Larry". (Veggie Tales)
Daddy always tells me to "go upstairs and cry".
My daddy always "tells people what not to do".
It makes me happy when "he goes to bed".
When my dad shops, he loves to buy "grapes".
If he could go on a trip, he would go to "preschool" and he would take "me".


How funny is that? It sounds like he's this lazy tyrant who likes to sleep all day and yell at her. He really does love her and he is a fantastic dad. Those kids say the darnedest things!! ;)

The Joy of Spring

The weather has been AMAZING and we all went for a long walk tonight. When we got back, Nelson and I sat on the patio while the kids ran around the yard. Nelson and I were commenting how much better Alex is maneuvering the slanting yard (especially since it's soggy) and just as we were saying this, Alex fell into a puddle. He was instantly unhappy (go figure since he was cold & wet), but the three of us were dying with laughter. It was pretty funny, but poor little guy!! Poor Alex -- holding his soaking wet and dirty pants while his sister is laughing at it all! :}

Check out those pants -- he was soaked!!!

And we had to strip him down outside because he was so muddy. What a crazy end to a beautiful day! :)

Hair Cuts

We all got hair cuts over the last week and I thought you might like to see the new do's! Alex looks all grown-up with his hair styled & spiked and Emily looks like such a lady!! :) (And mine is curly again -- yeah!!) :)

Gotta love this "cheesey-grin" phase!!! :}

And here is Emily before we got her hair cut -- it was so pretty, but she would rarely let me comb it and that wasn't working for either of us!!! :)
