Funny Kid Stuff
Nathan: “Mom, why is broken ice in the ocean called iceburn? Does it burn? I think it is spicy on your feet!”
Aren’t 6 year olds great?!!?!

Unsupervised and a Kid Funny from Nathan
Kid Funny 12/13/10-
Nathan: “Mom! I want to dress up as the man who searched for the spicy food!”
Translation: He wants to dress up as Ferdinand Magellan as he circumnavigated the globe in his search for the Spice Islands. Hysterical.
Unsupervised- 12/4/2010
I had this nice wooden bowl set out filled with a string of wooden cranberries, walnuts, tangerines & oranges. It looked so pretty. The kids somehow got into it one morning and this is what resulted. I wonder why they would shove crayons into the oranges & tangerines. I had to throw half of them away.
Kid Funnies- Savannah
Savannah has been a hoot lately.
Last week, around 9pm. Kip & I hear crying upstairs.
Me: (standing at the bottom of the stairs) “Savannah, why are you crying?”
Savvy: “Because I have to go to the bathroom!” waah, waah… continued sobbing.
Me: “Well, go ahead and go!”
Savvy: (wailing) “I CAN’T go! I don’t have ANYONE to watch me!” (Apparently she’s become a little to used to having constant attention from the big kids, especially Mary. Funny)
Last weekend-
Me: I am pinching Savvy’s biscuits and harassing her thoroughly. 
Savvy: “Mom! I just can’t DEAL with this anymore!!” (said with combination of exasperation and great dramatic flair)
Also last weekend-
Kip & I were teasing Savvy about something, probably Christmas, but I can’t remember what now. Apparently she had enough of our teasing. Picture a wizard casting a spell- how they curl their fingers a bit and throw their arms out & forward. All of a sudden she glowers at us, throws her arms out like a wizard and says “duh, duh, duh, dooon” (like the sound that they make in movies). Kip about fell on the floor laughing at her so hard.
Three Year Olds are So FUNNY!
A Funny from Nathan

Mary: “Mom, what’s a vegetarian?”
Nathan: “It’s an Indian word that means ‘bad hunter’.”
Kids are so funny!
Funny Kid Stuff
Two Funnies from Mary & Nathan tonight (10/22/2010).
Tonight I got “How To Train Your Dragon” from Netflix for family movie night. We popped popcorn, got settled in on the couch. About 1/2 way through the movie Nathan turns to me and says “Mom, I think we should do all your work for you so that you can take a break!” I like how this boy thinks.
Later on:
Mary: “Dad, are there still dragons?”
Dad: “No, there aren’t.”
Mary: “Well, there might still be some in California!” (because California is such an odd, strange, exotic land to her???? No clue where she came up with this but Kip & I thought it was funny!)
Funny Kids: 3/14/2010
We couldn’t make this stuff up if we tried…
Mary took her stuffed horse and a corn-on-the-cob holder and made herself a unicorn. She didn’t even realize the play on words. Kids are funny.

Nathan’s Question This Morning:
Nathan: “Mom, you know the bark on trees? How does it get there? From dogs barking?”
I’m Back!
No clue why I haven’t been posting lately- somehow I got out of the posting mode and had a hard time getting back into it.
Random Updates:
#1: Only 3 weeks and 4 days until my scheduled induction for baby girl! (scratch that- I got distracted & didn’t finish this post- now it’s 2 weeks and 4 days!)
#2: I’ve been busy getting ready for the baby- I’m consigning a TON of clothes and baby gear and it’s a huge job to get it all ready. BUT, I found a consignment sale that gives 70% to it’s consigners (as opposed to the typical 60%) so I am anticipating a nice little check in the mail sometime in April- that makes it worth all the effort.
#3: Friday I decided that since we were having a baby in just a few weeks that maybe I should go buy some of the necessaries… like, oh- an infant carrier?? Ours had expired and so we didn’t have one at all. No diapers, bottle nipples, etc. Also, after three babies my burp clothes, bibs & crib sheets were horribly stained so I picked up some new ones of those as well. $325 later….
#4: On Saturday we drove to Yadkinville to pick up our bassinette. My Mom’s Mother bought her that bassinette at a garage sale when she was pregnant with me. All of us kids slept in it & now all of mine have as well. It’s from the 1940′s and after 7o years of work, it was showing it’s age. The lining had completely disintegrated making it quite unstable. The wicker was coming loose on the ends. The oh-so-talented Mr. Anderson replaced the lining and all the trim work, repaired the wicker and gave it a fresh coat of white paint. It’s ready for another 70 years of babies!
#5: Pregnancy- This has definitely been my easiest pregnancy yet. I feel great- my back doesn’t hurt, I’m still getting around pretty well. I think the most difficult thing has been the weather. This winter was much harder on me than going through the hot summer with Savannah’s pregnancy. It’s been the hardest, coldest, snowiest, windiest winter I’ve seen in the 20 years I’ve been down here. I haven’t been able to have the doors or windows open for fresh air, the kids have been inside a lot more than usual, the wind has made it very unpleasant when we do go out. I’ve felt a bit more cooped up and that’s been way harder than the summer- I didn’t think summer was that big of a deal- you go from an air conditioned house to an air conditioned car to an air conditioned store/building/restaurant/etc. But the cold & the wind this winter have really done me in. I’m OVER it and ready for spring & the baby to get here!
The Latest Funnies From Nathan:
#1: (overheard Nathan talking to Mary)
Nathan: “Mary, pretend this happened back in the mists of time, you know, that means a long time ago.”
I find his use of the expression “mists of time” vastly amusing and I love that he felt the need to explain the meaning of this phrase to Mary- super funny to me.
#2: Nathan: “Mom, do you remember when I was a little boy?”
Why yes, Nathan, I do remember- at 5 years old that was SUCH a long time ago, wasn’t it???
