I Used To Have A Brain: It's Funny Now, but at the time it was NOT

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!)

It's Funny Now, but at the time it was NOT

I've talked before about how much trouble we have getting a good picture of our kids together for the annual Christmas card, yet I still try to get that picture! I've given up on trying to get a "perfect" shot of them together, and will settle for another compilation if I need to, but I was hoping today to get a "good" picture of them all together.

It was a beautiful fall day, with lots of leaves, and enough clean kids clothes to put together a fall color scheme for some outdoor shots.

Tell me... which of these gems screams "Merry Christmas" to you?

Abby @ I Used To Have A Brain said...: (Hmm.. wonder why my comment thing is weird for this post)

Babydoll didn't want to wear a white shirt (and it was the only non-pink option) and had been cranky most of the day from not getting enough sleep the night before.

Little Man was just being stubborn and didn't want to go outside, and his pants were too big and were falling off.

Sweet Pea was fine but making faces because Little Man was throwing leaves at the girls!; October 28, 2011 at 8:49 AM
Laura said...: Well, as for which one SCREAMS Merry Christmas from the Strands, I would say the last one of Little Man for sure!! Better luck next photo session!; October 28, 2011 at 8:52 AM
Laura said...: The comments post for your previous post doesn't appear to be working on my end...
But here is an idea for a new Blog Name: Strands of Love; October 28, 2011 at 8:58 AM
Abby @ I Used To Have A Brain said...: Laura, I like that one!; October 28, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Anonymous said...: Oh, wow... That sad puppy-eyed face in the forth picture is just priceless. Awww... =( And I agree with Laura. That last one is definitely screaming something! Good luck with the next set of group shots! It can't be easy getting everyone on the same wavelength at the same time. >.<; October 28, 2011 at 12:51 PM
mom said...: Wow, you normally have happy kids. What happens when grandma is not around. Oh I am sure it is me that makes then always happy. haha. I say start over or use one of your professional ones done in the fall.; October 28, 2011 at 4:24 PM
Jeni said...: These are hysterical!!! Chris and I are laughing SO hard right now. I can totally relate...; October 28, 2011 at 9:13 PM
Abby @ I Used To Have A Brain said...: Mom - You're a fun grandma, of course they're always happy when you're around :o)

Jeni - I was really hoping for a nice group kid shot this year, I suppose I could send those out, so our friends and family can laugh that hard when they pass their Christmas cards! :o) They give us a good chuckle now too:o); October 29, 2011 at 8:53 AM
