They Say the Darndest Things

I have been meaning to write a post about some of the funny things that the kids have said over the last few weeks, and now it is going to seem like I am copying Jana because she just posted about a funny thing Roman said.... but I promise I was really going to do this before I saw her blog!!! Cross my heart!! Ok, so here they are.



Well for starters, the kids both say SPAGHETTI weird. Actually, more like cute. Austin has graduated from calling it "PIECE-A-DETTI" to "SPADETTI". So that is improvement. Zoe is calling it "GUB-GETTI". Do I try to correct these things they say wrong??? No way, it is WAY cuter this way. Oh, and can someone please tell me what the secret is to cooking the right amount of spaghetti noodles??? No matter what, I always make either TOO much or TOO little. Annoying! Then last Saturday, we were taking a walk, and some of our neighbors had these topiary things outside. Austin said "Look Dad! Snowman trees!!" like he was at the zoo or something. Very exciting.


In our family we like to joke about having stinky feet, and I asked Zoe if Jasmine had stinky feet. Her response was,


" No! Hew waywth shoeth!!!" Did you get that?? She said "No! Her wears shoes!!!"
(That is supposed to be a picture of Jasmine's stinky feet.. haha)
I also think it is really funny that Austin knows what Zoe is saying more than we do. He is seriously her translater. When we don't know what she is saying, she will roll her eyes and immediatly look at Austin, knowing he knows what she said and will now translate for us.
I know there were MANY others cuz I have been storing them in the back of my brain everytime they say something blog-worthy, but alas I have forgotten. But I like that someday they can look back at this and see how funny they were.
*** Here are some things I forgot. Zoe says "like" and "legs" like "YIKE" and "YEGS". She says " I LUB YOU" for I love you, and she calls a bathing suit a "BEEBING SOUP." Her babies are "BEEBIES" and she will often say "I NOT A BEEBIE! I A BI GOWL!"

*** Oh, I just remembered some more. Austin and Zoe play "I Spy" in the car all the time. Austin says " I HIGH SPY something...." and when it is Zoe's turn she says " I SOMEPING PY....." ( I something spy, totally backwards huh?) And today in the car, Travis and I were talking about how the desk that the computer sits on kills my back and I want a new better one because I have to lean over it to reach the keyboard. Austin chimed in and said " Mom, you should just get a new back instead." I WISH AUSTIN!!!


Next blog post will be "Austin Learned How To Swim!!!". Now you can't say I copied anyone's blog post!

Those are cute and fun to keep track of. I'm terrible about writing down things Caden and Paxton say/do.
Just a few days ago, Paxton came to me and told me, "Mom, we can't be buddies anymore if Dad is going to be YOUR TRUE LOVES KISS." (from Enchanted) She eventually told me why, she wanted him to be her TRUE LOVES KISS!
