March Funnies

March 2012

When two people got baptized at church Sleeping Beauty said, "Are they going to Heaven NOW?!?!?!"

My mom watched the girls while Tim and I had a late afternoon date. Cinderella was worried about dinner and said to her Nana, "I don't want my mom to create a disaster and I don't want to have to eat it."

...




Sleeping Beauty: "I don't like the way this room smells."
Me: "Maybe it's you." (I was kidding.)
She smells herself and says, "It IS me!!"


Sleeping Beauty, name some words that start with "T:" Tire, Tooth, Tim, Tiny, Tall, Toot (hahaha) Bottom.
Um....No


My back was hurting and Sleeping Beauty gave me her blanket "Liney."

We were too afraid to ask what she meant but at the prayer at dinner Sleeping Beauty included the following: "And thank you for killing all the bad people so we won't be kilt."

Sleeping Beauty came out of her room with her makeup Caboodle saying, "Let's see if I can pretty this mess up."

Sleeping Beauty: "Mommy, Riding my bike makes my heart feel happy." ♥

Should I be concerned that my 7 year old is typing "Intervention" on her computer?!

Sleeping Beauty was in her nose up to her elbow and she looked at me and said (dead serious), "Mommy? Did you know princesses don't pick their noses?"
All I could do was stare at her.

Sleeping Beauty to Tim : "Do you know clowns paint their faces so they can steal stuff from people?"


Sleeping Beauty's prayer one night: "Dear God, thank you for this food. Thank for the whoooole world (she says this every time), thank you for stores so I can shop and thank you for Nana and Pa leaving on an adventure so we can have their Sassy (dog).  Amen."


Sleeping Beauty and I heard about the Michael Jackson Cirque du Soleil on the radio. They then said, "Of course, he won't be there because he's dead."
Sleeping Beauty: "WHAAAAT?! He died?!"
Must be hard to be four years old.

I love how Cinderella is seven and still says "Campbell" for camel.

Sleeping Beauty gets funnier every day. Tonight at dinner she spilled some chili on her dress. "OH! I've SHAMED myself!!"

Me: "Sleeping Beauty, please stop hanging from the door knob."
Sleeping Beauty: "You'll never take me alive!"
Me: "..."

Reflections....

Let me take you through what it takes to get Sleeping Beauty outside to play with her big sister:


The girls are fully clothed and lack only their shoes.


The King of the Crazies and I say, "Hey girls!  It's the nicest day this week outside.  Go out and leave us alone play!"


Cinderella puts on play shoes and is out the door at lightening fast speed.


Sleeping Beauty, on the other hand takes 20 minutes to make it outside.  She has to try on five different pairs of shoes - four of them being sandals - and then she proceeds to have a hilarious dialog with her mirror image father.


After fighting through what is a very serious fashion dilemma to our three year old daughter, she settles on a pair.  And they are not the ones she was already wearing earlier in the day.  That would be too easy.  She has since removed her socks (remember the sandals?!) and while she can put on and take off her shoes with ease she cannot put on socks.  She can only remove them.  The problem here is that she will not allow her father to help her.  It is like I am invisible.  For once.   Prayers are answered!  ;o) 


It goes something like this:


King of the Crazies (K.C.): Let me put on your socks.


Sleeping Beauty (S.B.): I gone do.  (This is how she and her big sister, in the past, have been known to say that they are in fact going to do something themselves.  Come heck or high water.)


K.C.: Just let me help...


S.B. NOOOO!  I gone DOOOOOO!


This in some variation is repeated many times for my husband and Sleeping Beauty replies each and every time with, "I gone do!"  No variation necessary, apparently. 


This goes on for 15 minutes.  I promise you it does.  It seems more like 30.


She even promises not to say "I gone do" anymore.


Seconds later she is shouting it back into her father's face.  "I GONE DO!"  I try my best to control the laughter for it is like watching one argue with their very own reflection.


He even goes on to say that he will NOT put her socks on.  No, no, no will not do it.  Will die before he will do it.  You get the picture.


I am losing it and start laughing so hard I am crying.  He starts putting her socks on her feet while saying, "I'm not gone do."


Once the socks are finally on the chosen pair of shoes must be found for there is only one shoes beside them now.  We are fifteen minutes into this mess.  And I'm serious y'all, my husband had both shoes in his hands minutes ago, before the sock fiasco.


It takes five more minutes to find the rogue shoe and once she does she puts them on herself all while saying, "See?!  I gone do," and she is out - just 20 minutes behind her big sister.


A few minutes later, through the open windows we hear her yelling to her sister, "I gone do!!!"


ARGH!!!!!!

Quotes and sayings and conversations from the past few weeks from my gals:


Today, when we went to get  in our iced up car to go to school today Cinderella said, "Mommy? I don't think we're in ***** anymore. This seems like Alaska to me!"


Also this morning, "What is peanut butter made out of?"

"The best part of Princess Furry Pants getting a bath is she doesn't like it and I think that's so funny."  - Sleeping Beauty

Upon the dog getting angry with Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty said, "Weeeelllllll she doesn't bite me because I bite her back." 

WHAT?!

While doing some cleaning I found an unopened packet of aTaco Bell mild sauce in Cinderella's toy box.  That girl keeps everything!

Sleeping Beauty apparently got up and took her makeup bag in for her nap. (It was all she wanted for Christmas once she found out that watch ($275) was off the list. No makeup was on her but some was on the sheets (I washed just the day before). She was gripping a lip balm in one hand and a makeup brush in the other. HAHA

We have an iRobot (vacuum) and it went past one of the barriers it wasn't supposed to. Sleeping Beauty came running up to me tattling, saying, "Mommy! MOMMY! She 'is-obeyed' you!!!!"

The girls were entertaining themselves, making more pictures for their baby cousin who is to arrive sometime in the beginning of February. They have been making him things since we found out he was on his way!

The King of the Crazies told the dog she was fat and I kid you not, she went straight to bed.

Jealousy is an ugly beast. Sleeping Beauty "killed" a paper snowflake her big sister made. She said she did it "Because it was awesome." It's hard to be little and not know how to make awesome stuff!

The THREE YEAR OLD has road rage from THE BACKSEAT!  She even shakes her fists and yells, "Get outta my waaaaay!"

"Do crocodiles run their own businesses?" - Sleeping Beauty

Me: Sleeping Beauty, Do you need another napkin?
Sleeping Beauty: I've got two. Fuhgeddaboudit!

I was sitting on the couch and heard Sleeping Beauty over by the Christmas tree. "Now, let's see if I can get all up in the Christmas tree...OW! My hair!! I can't get out!"

We are raising very polite girls. Little Sleeping Beauty knocked over a sippy cup of milk and said, "Oh, why excuse me, milk! I am so sorry."

I overheard Cinderella talking to Sleeping Beauty while putting on her coat and hood, "Now keep your hoodie on. I don't want you getting sick." Awww!

Sleeping Beauty to Cinderella before Christmas: "I bet you are on the naughty list too."

Sometimes I am just left speechless. My three year old is freaking out because I didn't let the dog get married. WHAT?! I just don't know if I will make it the rest of my life at this rate! ;o)

We were at a mall with the girls and my mom. Santa was holding a newborn and Sleeping Beauty yelled, "Is THAT Baby JESUS?!?!?!"

Me: Girls, we are probably getting our Christmas tree tomorrow.
Cinderella: Yay!
Sleeping Beauty: Can we please get a gray* tree?

*Gray = snow on the tree

Sleeping Beauty was complaining and I said, "You are falling apart! Do I need to take you and get a new Sleeping Beauty?"
Sleeping Beauty: "Yes. They should have a new me at Target."
Me: HAHAHA

Part of Sleeping Beauty's prayer one night, "...and make the diseases go away. Thanks for sharp cheese. Amen."

Quote of the day from Cinderella on Thanksgiving: "When 'Crazies' see turkey, we have to eat it!"

I witnessed Sleeping Beauty lecturing her big sister on proper newborn care. It was frightening. Not so much what she said, but the fact that she backed over and then stepped on the baby's head, all the while baby talking and lecturing Cinderella.

What does one say?!

Sleeping Beauty, "I've waited three long years for my prince to come find me!!"

Me: Awkward silence...

Sleeping Beauty Stinks

The other day we were on the floor playing - me, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.  Sleeping Beauty kept saying, "What do I smell?"  "What stinks?"


A couple minutes later she leaned down and smelled herself.  Shocked and horrified she exclaimed, "I STINK!"

:)

Can you guess where we went this past Saturday?  I'll give you a hint:

At the end of the day Sleeping Beauty said, "Dreams DO come true!"


:o)


It was part of an early Christmas present from Nana and Pa and Nanny and Poppy.  Thank you again!


More pictures and stories to come!


12 days until Christmas! 

Sleeping Beauty is THREE! Part 2

Sleeping Beauty is about to make a wish.  The cake was made to her specifications.  :)  Strawberry cake with strawberry icing with the cast of "Sleeping Beauty" on it. 

"I'm wishing...to go to Halloween."

That WAS her wish.

Cinderella made the place cards.  :)

Cinderella and my kid brother

The girls and my brother in law.  

Chowing down!

Cinderella

I LOVE third birthdays because it is really the first time that the child gets that the birthday party/day is ALL about THEM and celebrating that we have them in our lives.

Princess Furry Pants

Who knows?!

Kissing Snow White - who was her favorite until just recently:

Partying it up!

Me and Sleeping Beauty - She got a case of what I like to call "The Birthday Twits."  You know, getting your way so you turn into a brat?!  ;o)

This is the best we could do.  :oP  My sweet baby a la deer in the headlights look:

We brought baby stuff down from the attic as my sister is having her first baby in February.  Sleeping Beauty immediately climbed in and started saying, "I'm a baby."  She is so tiny, she fits.  

Some of the decor

Sleeping Beauty is just so precious.  This morning she came in from her room carrying her pink piggy bank.  Here's what happened:

Sleeping Beauty: "I want to give money to Jesus."
Me: "How much?"
S.B.: "All of it. I want Jesus to have it."
Me: "Then you won't have any."
S.B.: "That is fine. It is Jesus' anyway." 

She emptied it and put it aside to take on Sunday morning.
God has blessed me so much! I love the heart of a child.  My girls are such a reminder of the way He wants us to be!
