I Used To Have A Brain: Mom Hair?

Kids Say The Darndest Things!

Kids are hilarious and I'm lucky enough to have them cracking me up every single day, so how can I not share them with you! These are just some of the funny things they say.

Izzy, referring to her doll who was apparently very fashionable. "She's very stashinal."

Connor had drooled on Izzy's doctor kit, daycare boy told her, "you should put your dr. kit in your room." Izzy replies very casually, "That's ok, I don't care if he throws up on it."

Izzy told me today, "I'm 4 now." me: "Oh really, when did you turn 4?" Izzy: "I don't know, I just learned my ABC's."

While cleaning up the Elefun game after deciding she didn't want to play anymore, and while Connor was starting to get into the butterflies, Izzy tells him, "Consadurations Connor but you can't play this anymore. I can teach you how to play baseball though!"

Conversation between Izzy and daycare boy. Izzy, "Your froggy umbrella has big eyes!" daycare boy, "I know that Izzy, that's because I love him!"

While visiting my sister-in-law's new house, Mikayla started screaming bloody murder. Nana asked, "Do you have a sliver?" Mikayla while still screaming and sobbing, "No, I have a stick under my skin!!"

We had wild rice casserole for dinner, and Izzy decided to play with it for some reason, making a huge mess and getting it all over her hands. This was her prayer at the end of dinner, "Dear God, thank you for my food, thank you for my family, thank you for my friends, and thank you for being messy! Amen"

Mikayla was writing a story on the computer, and we had just talked about semicolons, when she announced to me that, "I think if I have a boy when I grow up I'll name him Colon, that sounds like a good name." Upon further discussion she decided that perhaps Collin was a better name for a little boy.

Izzy, while playing with little Beauty and the Beast figures: "I can show you the ways of being a normal person. Pick berries, read, wash your hands a lot... " all said with a British accent.

I asked the kids what they like to dream about, Izzy answered, "Princesses.... Meat.... My family....."

Last night we were at my cousins' house and they had a very large family picture framed and hung on the wall. Mikayla looked at it and casually said, "They must have taken that picture with a really big camera."

Daycare Boy after ghost hunting: "I wish I had a pet dinosaur made out of mud!" Because clearly only mud dinosaurs would protect him.

Connor trying to say the word "helicopter": "Bobbicocker"

Izzy randomly asks, "Why did God give us a head?"

Connor heard the outer door getting blown open by the wind and, startled, asks "Who's coming?". Like the good mom I am I say very surprised like, "Monsters are coming" and continues to stare. So I say, "Robots are coming!" Very seriously Connor tells me, "How about Care bears are coming!"

On the way to gymnastics we played a game, here's an excerpt:

Me - "Something I want you to do, it starts with an F, ends with an S, and has a C in the middle"

Mikayla - "Frapaccinos!!!" (intended word was Focus)

Me - "Something I want you to have... I want you to have__"

Izzy - "Babies!!!!" (intended word was FUN!)

Mom Hair?

When I was a young girl, I wished my mom had long hair. Long hair that I could braid, curl, barret, ponytail, the works. My mom had a short hair cut though that made these games difficult (though not impossible). Now that I'm a mom I totally get the short haircut, and have been tempted on a number of occasions to chop my own.

She was smart having that short hair! Not only is it easier to manage, and cooler in the summer... when the kids "do" my hair - ouch!

Sweet Pea did my hair a couple weeks ago, and even though she's nearing nine years old now she doesn't quite have the finess of fixing someone elses hair gently. I spent much of my livingroom hair appointment cringing and hoping most of my hair would still be connected to my scalp by the end of it!

After plenty of pain, and a whole lot of fun on Sweet Pea's behalf... and I think 17 barrets later...

There will come a day when the girls will beg and plead and you'll be forced to sit through it. It's fun... when it's not hurting!

Hey I had long hair and then short and long again. You did get to fix it sometimes but I have never seen so many accessories used at once. When my hair was really short you guys would fix your dads. Now that was funny..
Very colorful job Sweat pea.
