The Planet

We were at my parents house and the kids where watching a movie done by Universal Studios whose icon is the world spinning.

Baby Girl: Hey look!  We've been there!
Addilece: Yeah, that's earth.  That's where we live.
Baby Girl: Yeah, and Nana and Papa live their too.
Addilece: Mom, do Nana and Papa live on that planet with us.

Daddy's Name

At an appointment...

Person: And what's your husbands name?
Me: Anthony.  Snyder.
Addilece:  Her husbands name is NOT Anthony Snyder.  It's Daddy Tony!!!

Love

Addilece has Quiet Time in our Guest/Craft/Sewing Room.  She gets into stuff that she shouldn't sometimes in the name of "play".  I get kinda fed up with it.  So, when I came in one day to find that the curtian rod had been pulled and bent I was not too thrilled.

Me: Addilece!  Why do you always mess with stuff?
Addilece: I just love too.
Me: Well, I don't care what you love....
Addilece: But mommy, I love you!

Yes, one of those "oopppsss" moments as a parent.

Me: Well, I love you too!
Addilece: See, you do care what I love.

Pretty Clothes

This is a typical morning conversation with Addilece....

A: Can you pick out my outfit for me?
M: Sure.  How about this one?
A: No.
M: You said I should pick.  What's wrong with it?
A: You didn't pick this prettiest one.  THIS is the prettiest one.  I'm going to wear this one.

Yummy Berries

Tony had found some mulberries hidden in the back of our frig...

Tony: These are disgusting.
Me: Are they moldy?
Big Brother: Yeah.  That's why they're mold berries.

All Done

Daddy was holding his breathe under the water.  Baby Girl was counting to see how long he could make it.  She made it till about 13 before her counting started to waver....

Baby Girl: 10, 11, 12, 13...17........22, 23.........25.......................Ok, you can come up now.

Eating People

Big Brother: Do we kill people to get ribs?
Dad: Do we eat people?
BB: No.
Dad: Well, then no we don't kill them to get ribs.

Little Man: I eat people.
Dad: No, you don't.
LM: And monsters too!

Help

We've been trying to teach Little Man the sign for "help". 

Me: Do you remember the sign for "help"?

signs the word help

LM: Help?

signs his version of help

Me: Yep.  Do that if you need help.
LM signs help again: I need help.
Me: What do you need help with?
LM: I don't know.

Boomers

We took the kids to their first real fireworks show in the fourth.  Before the show they were testing everything with some fireworks that just made noise.  Little Man called  them "boomers".  A little later he declared that he wanted to go play at the park.

Me: "No bud, the fireworks are about to start."
LM points to the sky: "But there no boomers."

Later....

Dad: "Do you like the boomers?"
LM: "Ye-NOOOOO!"

Too Big

Addilece had gotten her shorts into a tangled mess and couldn't get them pulled up.  Daddy went to help her pull them up.  She looked at him and declared:

"I think I'm gettin too big for my britches."
