Girls Are So Funny!

Kids crack me up daily. They come up with things that you just can't help but laugh at. My girls are quite creative and funny. Some of my favorites...

Maddie keeps randomly walking up to me and saying in a robot voice, "I not-a ro-bot mom-my." In her little two-year old pixie voice...and acting so serious...how can one not laugh at that? I have begun making her do it on command now...it's just too cute.

I have so much fun just watching her play sometimes too. She will grab a guitar or climb onto the piano and just go to town, especially if she doesn't know I'm paying any attention...she gets so dramatic as she belts out a song and strums the guitar strings or pounds the keys on the piano. She also likes to drum....on everything in sight! Her favorite is to bang measuring spoons against my metal wire basket and sing along. She has really good rhythm even if it drives mommy batty from all the noise. haha She is quite the little songbaby. I think she is going to take after her Grandma Jardine!

My little sis Jessie has always kept us in stitches with the way she sees things. Once when we were at my nephew Paul's baptizm (I believe Jessie was about 3 then) they were passing out the sacrament and when the bread came around all torn in pieces (she wasn't familiar with church routines) she shouted (really loudly), "Oh, are we going to go feed the ducks now?" Priceless!

Jess also recently (now 10 years old) said something that was hilarious. My mom was driving her home from a play that she was in. They live about 20 miles from town, so the road that takes them there tends to "get old", especially if they are traveling it daily. My mom commented that the road was "so long" implying that she was tired of driving to town so much for rehearsals and performances and such....Jessie quickly responded, "Well why don't they just make it shorter then?" Like...ya! That's the solution...if the road is too long, why not make it shorter? That makes perfect sense! hahaha

Leesie used to make up names for body parts if she didn't know what to call them...One day she was running around the coffee table and smacked into the corner with her ribs/side. She came running to me, holding her side, crying, "Mommy, I just hurt my THLING AND MY THLONG!" What in the world is that? hahaha How do you hold in a laugh when you are trying to console a hurt child but they are so funny?

I love when kids are just learning how to talk and you are trying to figure out what they are saying...Leesie's favorite movie when she was about 2 was The Wizard of Oz. We wore out 2 VHS videos and a DVD from over playing of that movie. It took me forever to figure out when she was asking to watch that movie because she called it, "The Fizz and the Fozz" ....HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED THE GAME MAD GAB? LOL This is the same as trying to understand a child who is just learning the language. hahaha And Blue's Clues was "Thlues Thlues". A mom learns to understand what her children want eventually tho, right? haha

My kids have tried to send me to my room when I attempt to make them eat their dinner. "Do you want to go to your room, mommy? Don't make me eat my dinner then!" Where is the logic in that? I am trying to keep them healthy. I am just so mean sometimes!...Geesh!

Leesie is getting to an age where everything is a trick and she is sooooooo silly! She loves tricking all of us and then gets a huge kick when we fall for something she does. She also makes up knock knock jokes that make no sense at all...cracks me up! She will say, "Knock knock" ...who's there... "rock" ...rock who?... "rock on the side of the road! Right there! Do you see it?" Ya...um...not really a knock knock joke at all. hahaha All of her knock knock jokes are like that and she leaves people wondering what in the world??? hahaha

The things kids do...ha They bring so much joy and laughter into a home! Gotta love it!
