I don't know how long I will find this amusing, but when I tell Elizabeth not to do something she says, "Don't worry. It's okay," in a very soothing voice. I guess I know what I say to her.
This is kind of sweet and funny at the same time considering people use the sarcastic phrase "in your dreams" . Elizabeth truly means it as something sweet and tells me, "I love you in my dreams."

I have been walking on a regular basis at night with a friend. I had to cancel on Friday because I was going out to the movies. So when Allie heard me say I could not walk tonight, she asked why I am walking so much. I told her it is good exercise and she replied with well, I am not a walker, I am a sitter. It cracked me up.
I may have mentioned this one too. One morning I was heading out the door with what seems like my 5 million bags. I asked her to carry something and she already had something in her hand. She looked at me and said, "What do you think I am, an octopus." It just made me smile that morning.
The other night she woke from her sleep and called me. I went in and asked her what was wrong. She goes on to tell me that her tummy wanted to tell me something. I said ok, what does you tummy want to say. She goes "tummy, thirsty" Such a strange child.
It seems to be daily that she says something funny. I wish I would write it all down.
Mason was asking me about boys and girls yesterday. He noticed that there were 4 people in Paula Deen's kitchen; 2 guys and 2 ladies. So he asked why they were ladies, "because they don't have peepees?"
I explained that boys have penises and girls have vaginas. Of course he's in the "why" stage, so he asked "Why do they have giants?"
The other day he asked me if he could use his toys to get a house. I told him no you need lots of money to buy a house. He said "OK..... Can I take my toys to grandma's"
I was laughing so hard but at the same time thinking that is a nice advanced concept for him.

Evan has been really interested in babies in people's bellies (his step-niece-aunt??) is pregnant with twins and so I explained what I could to him.
So he decided he was pregnant and asks me to feel his baby kicking and to be quiet so I don't wake the baby. Anyway, we were all at Denny's and he was going on and on about his pregnancy (I know, weird) and MIL asked who the father was as a joke. Evan told her Obama was the father.
Another one that made my heart melt was that the boys plugged up the sink in their bathroom with toilet paper. I was upset and said, "how am I going to fix this!?!". Evan told me, "It's ok mom, it's ok." and then I said, "well you don't have a job to pay for a plumber and I don't have the money." He said "Yes, I have a job! I am going to build you a great big house! I need my tools!". Then he offered to give me the 12 cents that he thinks make him rich. Instead I waited for Mike to fix it and shut the water off. And made him help.
Another one was that when we moved from Florida I sold my minivan and I guess the poor kid misses it terribly still. He told me he was going to get on a plane to Florida and bring it back for me. Too bad he doesn't know I don't want it thank you, but he thinks I drive terribly with a stick shift. "Mommy goes like this ergg-errrr, she's not very good".

Mark is always saying funny things. He likes to tell me he loves me more than different things. "Mama, I love you more than an elephant!" "Mama, I love you more than a giraffe!"
The other day, Mark was singing some made-up song really loudly. Henry said, "Oooh, Mark! You're singing that song without conviction!" I laughed and said, "What did you say?" He said, "I told Mark he was singing that song without permission." Oh. I thought it was funnier the other way.
Lucas is in Full day Prek and a few days a week I take care of my Grandma who can't do much of anything for herself anymore. On those days DH picks Lucas up from school and feeds him dinner and I don't come home until an hour before his bedtime. The first time that I stayed late I walked into the house and Lucas looked up at me at says "Do I know you? Are you my Mom?"
Today he had his first accident at school. The teacher said that during naptime he was sleeping and wet himself. They just changed him into his spare uniform. When he got home Lucas was VERY upset. He kept saying "Mommy, the teacher stole my underwear. They are the batman ones. She kept them!" I had to show him his wet dirty clothes in the ziplock bag so he could see his batman undies were safe and sound at home.
