Tomatoes?

Kaden age 5

Kaden has had a huge issue with tomatoes for a while. Anything that even looks like tomatoes he usually gags. So tonight, we had him try some spaghetti sauce (without revealing that it's mostly tomatoes).

After he tried it, (and he liked it). We told him that he just ate tomatoes. He said.... "Wow! I need to call Garrett and see if he's ever tasted tomatoes"

So he called his cousin and this is what he said...

Kaden on the phone with Garrett..

"Hey Garrett.. Guess what? I just had dinner and my mom had me try some tomatoes. And guess what? It was really good! I liked them! Have you ever tried tomatoes? You need to try them."

Boys and their Toys

Kaden age 5

Mom: Avery, what do you want for Christmas?

Avery: A princess

Kaden: Avery, do you want a remote control princess?

Married?

I went into Garrett's bathroom and notice that the toilet wasn't flushed. I asked him when he went to the bathroom and the conversation went as follows:

Mom: When did you go to the bathroom?
Garrett: When that boy was here.
Mom: What boy?
Garrett: The boy who's mom is married?
Mom: What do you mean by is married?
Garrett: She's going to have a baby.

She is pregnant.

Repetitious Prayers

Kaden age 5

Kaden was saying his prayer tonight with me right by his side and he got into a little bit of a routine. He said...

"Please bless mommy that she'll be feel..... uh... that she'll get home..... uhh.. bless mom."

I think he was trying to say "bless mom that she will get feeling better or bless mom that she will get home safe... then he realized I was right next to him so he said, bless mom".

Hugs

Garrett Age 4 1/2

Mom:  Garrett I need hugs...I love you so much

Garrett: (while giving a hug)  You SO love me because I'm making you a rainbow picture.

The countdown..

Avee do it

Avery age 2 1/2


Pretty much everything ends in "No... Avee do it. Mom you no help"
I just thought I better share this glorious stage so I don't forget. It's not frustrating at all :)

Today at breakfast she was drinking her smoothie and she put it on the cupboard. I picked it up to give it to her and she pointed her finger at me and said... "I just getting a napkin. No move it!"

Bargaining

Avery age 2 1/2

Avery: I watch a movie.
Mom: No Avery, it's bedtime now.
Avery: (Pointing her finger up) But Jus One!

It's that word again

Kaden age 5

"Dad... we've got a little problem.... my hands are friekin cold!"

Swimming

Camri Age 2 1/2

We took the kids swimming the other night and were getting ready to leave and Camri said:

Camri:  Mom, my tummy hurts.

Mom:  How come Camri?

Camri: I swam too far.

Daddy's Little Helper

Kaden age 5

(Kaden was helping Brian set up his new bunk bed and Brian kept misplacing the alan wrench)

Brian: "Kaden, can you find the alen wrench for me?"
Kaden: (hand Brian the wrench) "Now dad, I want you to put this somewhere you won't lose it because I'm sick and tired of having to find it for you!"

Where do germs come from?

Kaden age 5

Kaden: "Mom, I think I know how germs work."
Turia: "what do you mean Kade"
Kaden: "The germs are in your body asleep and when you get a tummy ache it's because the germs wake up and start wigging around inside you"
Turia: "Wow. Kade, You are probably right"
Kaden: "Aren't you glad I'm so much smarter than you guys?"

Sounding like a teenager

Kaden age 5

Kaden was eating some chicken and he said,
"Wow.. thats so freakin good!"

"Oh... I just LOVE Halloween"

"I've been waiting for Halloween for like a hundred years"

after going trick or treating for nearly two hours, this is the conversation we had on our last house:

Avery: "Lets go dat house" (as she's laying her head on my shoulder because she's so tired)
Kaden: "no.. please no..... Please say we don't have to go to another house" (what? really?)
Mom: "Kade, you don't have to come with us to get candy"
Kaden: "well... just one more house"
