Serious Silliness 3

1.  After a very traumatizing experience watching her brother be cured of a wood tick,
 Elaina asked me to check her head for Tic-Tac-Toes (wood ticks). 
Then she politely asked me not to set her hair on fire if I found any.

2.  Nathaniel responded to the chicken casserole I made for supper tonight: 
“This food is too tasty for me!  See you for breakfast!”
 –Nate, age 3

3.  Listening to Elaina scream and cry in her room during a time-out:
 “Oh I HATE that OLD lady! Her is a wicked, dumb, poopy head!” 
She followed up with, “I’m bustin out of this dungeon and you’ll never see me again!”
 I almost asked her if she needed any help packing….
-Elaina, age 3

4.  Olivia is covered in black, orange, and green permanent marker. 
You can ask Saul what happened.

5.  “Can I have a powder tortilla?”  (flour tortilla)
 –Nate, age 4

6.  Elaina: “Mom, I don’t want you to get old!” 
Me: “Why sweetie?  Are you afraid I’ll die?” 
Elaina:  “No.  I’m afraid you’ll get ugly.” 
Oh.  Nice to know I’m not raising a superficial daughter….
-Elaina, age 4

7.  While sharing our resolutions for the New Year (2012),
Saul told us he was looking to get in shape.
 To which Nate asked him, “What shape are you going for?” 
Mwahahaha!

10.  While driving home from church, I was changing radio stations
with the control on the stearing wheel. 
Nate asked me, “Are you using your MIND powers to do that?” 
This Star Wars thing has gone too far…

2.  Nate asked me today, “How much does it cost to fly on an airplane?” 

 I told him it depended on where he was flying to. 

 Then he said, “Paradise.  I want to fly to Paradise.” 

 Join the club Nate! 

 -Nate, age 4

3.  Overheard after Elaina ran from the bathroom to her bedroom completely naked:

Nate: “Ewe sick!  I NEVER want to see another naked girl for the rest of my life!” 

Isaac:  “Don’t worry Nate.  When you get as old as Dad, you’ll be seeing lots of naked girls!”  Seriously….where do they get this stuff?

9.  “Hey Dad,”  Isaac thoughtfully told his father one day. 

 “You know it’s okay if you eat me after I die.” 

 “What?!”  Saul asked him.  “Why would I want to eat you?” 

“Because Dad, you might get hungry!” 

 “Thanks Isaac, but your too tasty for me!” 

 -Isaac, age 6

10.  I overheard Elaina singing a song she made for me: 

 “I love my Mom. 

She is so crazy. 

She makes me brush her hair,

 and eat spaghetti!” 

 I asked her if she made that song up in her head. 

 “No Mom.  In my heart!” 

 sooo sweet!!! 

 -Elaina, age 3

See you next round!  What funny stories do you have to tell?

Serious Silliness

If you’ve spent any amount of time with me,

you’d know that I always have a crazy story to tell.
A house full of wild and rambunctious kids is the perfect recipe for some kind of disaster,
and a funny story is likely to follow it.

  I’ve kept a journal of these funny events,
and cute things that the kids have said since the boys were just toddlers
and Elaina was a babe in my belly.
Call me loony, but I’d much rather remember these crazy events
than all the hard ones that have turned my hair (ahem) gray!

I’m going to add this new meme to my blog:
Serious Silliness!

It will be a collection of funny telling's, past and/or present,
 straight from my journal
of what’s been going on ‘round these parts.
Hope you all enjoy them.
 And appreciate what I’m going through around here…haha!

1.  Overheard: Nate telling Isaac jokes, his giggles just make me smile!
"Hey Isaac, why does an elephant use his trunk for a bookmark?"
"I dunno.  Why?"
"So he NOSE where he left off!"
Followed by a belly rolling, fall to the ground, hysterical laughing,
while Isaac just stood there trying to "get" the joke...
(ages 7 and 7 1/2)

2.  Isaac, who is ALWAYS creating a new invention,
came into my room this evening while I was folding clothes. 
"Look at my new invention Mom!
It's an ant catcher, but it also grows the brains of the ants." 
Wondering why we would ever need ants with bigger brains,
I asked him why he thought to make this new machine.
  "Because Mom.  Ants are going extinct."
They Are? 
"Yes Mom.  They are being eaten alive by anteaters! 
We must do something to save them! 
Making their brains bigger will help the ants know how to fight back." 
Oh boy!
(age 7 1/2)

3.  I found Elaina sitting on the toilet and reading her Bible.
"What are you doing Missy?" I asked.
"I'm reading the 10 Command-blets.
It's the best book ever! 
Doh!"
I love that girl!
(age 3 1/2)


4.  "How can you hear me with all that hair in your ears?"
(Isaac, age 5)


5. "Ipsey, ipsey spider, up the water thing.
Down is the rain and do dee da dada.
Up to the sun and doo de dadada,
And the ipsey, ipsey spider
doo de dada daaa."
(Elaina, singing to Olivia, ages 3, and 5 months)


6.  Nate: "What is sunscreen for?"
Dad: "It protects your skin."
Nate: "Oh. So it's like a force-field."
(age 5)



7.  I asked Elaina one day during Tot School,
"How'd you get so smart?"
To which she pointed to her head and said,
"I've got a lot of ingredients in here!"
.....you sure do sweetheart!
(age 3 1/2)



8. "Mom, your better than chocolate cake!"
(Nate, age 6)



9.  Isaac recently graduated to Kids Jam in church (Children's Church).
He LOVES it!  He talks about it all the time.
When Saul asked him today about it, Isaac said,
"It's called Kids Jam, but don't worry Dad. 
They don't actually turn kids into Jam.  That would be sick."
I think I'm understanding his initial hesitation to going there....
(age 5)



10.  Elaina announced to her brothers today,
while she was pushing them out of her room,
"No humans allowed in here!"
When Isaac told her that she was a human, she yelled back,
"I'm not a human!  I'm a LADY!"
ROFL
(age 3)
