I looked back at all the things I never posted on Facebook, and thought, they made a pretty good 2013 Year in Review!
*I really wish I would have had the foresight to read Coraline to Lily before she blew 6 months allowance on a LaLaloopsy doll.
*Lily asked if it was Ok that she was eating a lot of Kale chips- this from the girl that won't eat bananas, strawberries, and honeydew. Seriously funny kid.
*#ihavetobehonestistopreadinghastagsabouttwowordsinifindtheyaretomuchlikedesipheringlicenseplatesandigetbored#
*Battlestar Galactica has forever ruined the word fracking for me. When I listen to NPR it's hard not to laugh when I hear them use the word fracking in relation to oil.
*When life hands me lemons, there are times I think it would be way more gratifying to throw them against the wall. (Lisa if you are reading this, I actually wrote this one 4 months ago)
*Quiche, just another reason to always have Jarlsberg in my fridge, or as Lily and Ivy say “Joshie cheese”.
*I have been holding Rose for 4 days, literally, 4 days. She hasn't been sleeping at nap time or at night, unless its in my arms. So tonight I needed a break and decided I'd let her cry after she woke up for the 4th time in 1 hour! Well after about 20 minutes (I'm really bad at letting my kids cry) I sent Tyler up- he discovered over 20 bug bites on her tummy and back that weren't there before bed. Facepalm!!!
*I indulge Ivy when she wants to be a cat, a lot. I put up with a lot of ruined pants knees from crawling all the time, and many noisy meows, but when she started cleaning herself like a cat that was taking it too far, she had to be stopped.
*Never name a car toothless, or your kids will cry at the mere mention of, maybe, one day, trading it in.
*While playing the “who would win” game, Ivy just asked, “who would win a car or a car on a spaghetti noodle”. The car on the spaghetti noodle, of course!
*I love that Lily and her good friend Jonah and I were all singing along and rocking out to the Beatles on the way to choir today. Awesome!
*Upon finding out that Tyler was a soldier Lily's friend Jonah asked, "Did he fight in the Clival wars". Thats not a spelling error, thats just how he said it. It must be all those gray hairs Tyler ;)
*Ivy and I were playing, “guess who I'm thinking of”. Her hints were that the person could use water, ice, and snow.
My first guess was, “Korra”? (Avatar on the brain)
Ivy, "Close"!
Me, "Katara"? (again Avatar)
Ivy, "OH super close"!
Me, “Ang”? (assuming she was thinking water bending)
Ivy, "REALLY close"!
Me, "I give up”.
Ivy, "Heaveny Father of course"!
Why wouldn't I have guessed that answer was close to water benders ;)
*Tyler helps with laundry a lot, but I can always tell when he has been sorting clothes, because Lily and I end up with each others shirts. So apparently I dress like an 8 year old. (I am not complaining because, Tyler is helping with the laundry, but I am having a laugh at his expense)
*While I am on the topic of laundry, you know you have three girls when you can sort laundry, whites, darks, and pinks!
I love all of these things! Your kids are funny. I especially like the car on a spaghetti noodle thing, and maybe I will follow Lily's lead and try kale chips sometime! And I agree about the lemon philosophy--what if you don't WANT lemonade, huh??
ReplyDeleteA sane response to life that often loses touch with reality. Well done;)

I love the one about sorting laundry if you have girls into whites, darks, and pinks!
ReplyDeleteAnd the one about the LaLaloopsy doll made me smile because the last time I spent with Lily we spent a lot of time talking about that :-)
