I love how on Erica's blog you can see when everyone last posted something new . . . except for when it's been almost a week and I haven't posted anything. Reminds me what a slacker I've been. It's been a crazy week with lots happening and every day I'd think -- I should write on my blog about this, but then I get too distracted and never get around to it. So . . . here's a summary of my past week or so in a nutshell.

Kate & Chloe's Quotes
Kate came home from school and excitedly told me: "Mom! We had a substitute teacher today, and she was MADE IN CHINESE! Like she really spoke China!" Apr 2013 - 5 yrs old
Kate to Dad: "Look! There's a man running without a shirt on!" Dad, "Yeah, what do you think about that?" Kate: "Well, I won't do that when I'm a mom!" Oct 2011
---------------------------------------------------
Kate: "Mom, I've decided I don't want to bring Pixie Dust with me on Halloween. I'd rather stay on the ground and get candy than go flying in the air!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Chloe: "I'm soooo sweaty! I didn't even know girls COULD sweat!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Kate in the pool says "I can't stand here! And I'm on my high heels!"
When Kate wants to be carried she says "My legs are snoring!" or "My feet are sleeping!" But once we arrived at the park and she saw the inflatables she screamed, "My feet just woke up! Put me down!" July 2011
-------------------------------------------------------
Chloe finished up our bedtime prayer and Kate yells: "You forgot to bless the bad guys wouldn't get us! Now they're going to bust through the door!!"
Chloe: "No they're not. They all live in China!" 06/11
-----------------------------------------------------
Hayley: "Chloe, where do you want to live when you grow up?"
Chloe: "Right next door to mom!" 06/11
-----------------------------------------------------
Chloe: "When I grow up, I'm going to be a chef on Tuesdays and a model on Wednesdays."
Me: "What are you doing the other days?"
Chloe: "That's when I will babysit all my kids!" 05/11
-------------------------------------------------------
Kate: "Mom, will you put my slippie over your shoulder, and then hold me on your shoulder and rock me back and forth like I'm a baby? . . . .I love to hear your heart beeping."
------------------------------
Kate: "Why is there only a mom giraffe and a baby giraffe in there?" (Asked as we drove by Marley farms and spotted them outside.)
A couple of seconds later she declares: "Maybe the mom giraffe kicked the dad out. . . . . Just like aunt Tori did!" (She's referring to my divorced sister :) 02/11
------------------------------------
Overheard conversation of Chloe talking to Kate:
"Kate - Dogs don't grow in people's tummies. We have to buy them at the pet store."
(I have a feeling Chloe will be "teaching" Kate lots of things about life . . . )
------------------------------------------
"I have a kangaroo sore." (aka: canker sore)
-------------------------------------------
Chloe at the dinner table out of nowhere: "Why DID Jesus even send us here??" (Brent's response - Wow! She must have had a bad day!) 03/10
--------------------------------------------
Chloe: "I really wish I could grow up fast."
Me: "I want you to stay little forever! Why do you want to grow up?"
Chloe: "Because I want to be able to take the food out of the oven." 02/10
----------------------------
As we were on the Pirates of the Carribean ride, we entered the dark tunnel and Chloe screams out: "OH NO! I've had a dream about this!" 10/09
----------------------------
Playing cards with Chloe and she says "I have a 2 of hearts and a 7 of Broccoli!" (AKA: clubs). 10/09
-----------------------------
Chloe: "Mom! Look how big my belly is. I think I'm going to have a baby soon!"
About a minute later, she asked, "If I have a baby, then I can't go to preschool, can I?"
Mom: "Nope."
Chloe: "Do you think you could watch my baby for me?"
Way to think things through, Chloe!
------------------------------
Kate was mumbling something to Grandpa. Chloe explained, "Kate's speaking Spanish."
---------------------------------
Brent brought home a package of deodorant from Costco. It had a scratch n sniff sticker of the scent on the front of the package.
Brent: "Chloe, do you want to smell this?"
Chloe: "Does it smell like armpits?"
03/09
--------------------------------
Me: "Mary is going to babysit you tonight!"
Chloe: "Mary who?"
Me: "Mary Heywood"
Chloe completely serious: "Is she Jesus' mother?"
4/09
----------------------------------
Chloe, standing in line at Walmart behind a very LARGE woman, asks "What is that lady's name?"
Me: "I don't know."
Chloe: "Do you think it's Shamu?"
06/08
---------------------------------
Chloe: "Hayley, I hate you!"
Me: "What did you just say?" I'm shocked. That's a word that I don't allow said . . . for anything. Even if they hate their food, they can't say hate.
So I grab her arm and march her off to time out.
Me: "Hate is a bad word that is NEVER to be said inside this house."
Chloe: "Then can I say it OUTSIDE?"
06/08
-------------------------------------------
Aunt Tori taking Chloe shopping at Target: "Chloe, If you could buy ANYTHING in the store, what would it be?"
Chloe: "I'd buy Kelsey back." (Kelsey is our dog who died last year.)
08/08
--------------------------------------------
Chloe: "Look Dad! There's a little bit of chocolate in my undies!" 01/09
--------------------------------------------
Chloe: "Look outside!! There's frosting on our grass!"
-------------------------------------------
Me: "Wow Chloe! Did Grandma buy you all those M&Ms?"
Chloe: "Yes and I'm going to share them with the kids."
Me: "You know, when Hayley & Blake find out Grandma gave you those, they are going to be sooooo . . . . (she always says this phrase when she thinks the kids are going to be jealous, but this time because of her generosity, she replied:)
Chloe: ". . . . Lucky!" 02/09
-------------------------------------------
Chloe is constantly begging to go to Grandma's house to play. I always tell her the reasons why they might not be able to play with her each day, and after giving her another excuse, she says "I want to make a toy that looks just like Grandma, and then I could play with her all the time!" 03/09
Kate to Dad: "Look! There's a man running without a shirt on!" Dad, "Yeah, what do you think about that?" Kate: "Well, I won't do that when I'm a mom!" Oct 2011
---------------------------------------------------

So, I'm not the only one who does that. I go to Erica's blog to see everyones updates. And to watch Boston try to blow out boogers.
I love the nutshell version of your week! Talk to Shannon about kids pooping in beds...nasty! And I don't even think I could do a 24 piece puzzle anymore!
By the way, it's easy to set up a blog list:
*Just go into customize
*click on "add a gadget"
*click on "Blog List"
*Then I just copied and pasted all of the addresses in one by one!
Hopefully you'll still visit my blog now that you won't be "using" me for my blog list!!
