Conversations Over Dinner

Colson, cupping Finley's face: "I love you sooooo much. I just love you!"
Finley: "Num num num nuuuuum!"

Colson said something today that was so utterly sweet I almost cried on the spot. Prepare yourselves. This is toddler gold.

"Mommy, I just need you. You're my very best friend. I just want you to be happy."

:)

Gobble

Dad: "Colson, we're going to get a biiiig turkey today at the store!"
Colson: "How 'bout a little one for Finney!?"

Always lookin' out. Come on, Dad, Fin can't manage a big turkey.

Carrotini

Colson, to her carrot at dinner: "You have a skull bathing suit!!!"

I am at a loss to understand this. 

Next time won't you sing with me?

"I know my ABCs!
H-I-M-D-C-9!
I know my yetterrrs!
I neva sing with you again!"

I'm backlogged with crazy things she's said, but this was today on the toilet. And an excerpt from a conversation with Daddy that's going on this very moment...

Colson: "You're a evil dad! You're evil dad! Ima smell yo bref!"
*sniff sniff*
Dad: "What does it smell like?"
C: "Avocadooooooos!"

The weird is never-ceasing.

C: "Mommy, we're happy evils!"

Bedtime Story

Colson: "Tell me a story about Cinderella and a bird."
Mom: "Okay..." *story in which Cinderella is startled by a bird and is knocked off of her bicycle and then taken into a cave* "What do you think is in the cave?"
C: "I don't know. What's in there?"
M: "Maybe goblins?"
C: "YEAH! Goblins are in there!"
*the goblins invite Cinderella and the bird to dinner*
C: "And they said, 'What is that?" And they said, 'It's avocados.' And Sleeping Beauty camed. And Sleeping Beauty had a sandwich. And they every-princess-bodies ate their suppers!"

The end.

The Munchies

I just heard Colson telling Finley, "I know you're not a snack."

It sounded a little like she was trying to convince herself.

Parselnose

Colson, looking into the toilet: "It smells like snakes in here."
Mom: "What? Smells like snakes?"
C: "Yeah."
M: "What do snakes smell like?"
C: "Umm...nothing. Nothing that should be animals."

???

Also, today in little sister land...Fin learns to make Tarzan noises.

Sweet Dreams

Fin said "nite nite" to Colson tonight. Heart. Melted. These moments make my life. <3

Family matters...and so do The Beatles.

So, today in the car Colson requested "Lucy in the Sky with Dinosaurs."

And Finley calls Colson "dada." These girls have their relationship all kinds of confused.

Marriage

Colson: "Who's your husband?"
Mom: "Daddy's my husband. We're married."
C: "Who's my husband?"
M: "I don't know. Who are you married to?"
C: "Finney!"

And Goodwill Towards Men

Dad: "We have one plus another one..." *holds up two fingers* "...and what does that make?"
Colson: "Peace!"

Pocket Change

Colson: "Lemme check in yo pockets! Can I?"
Mom: "Sure."
C: "Whassindere?"
M: "Nothing, I think."
C: "A butt's in there?" *gasp* "A butt is in there!"

I swear she talks about other things too. It's not all butts and wedgies.

Cracker, please.

"Rackletangles!"

Enough said.

Life is good when you're a plush toy.

This is a very short excerpt from what I'm certain, had I been privy to all of it, was a fascinating conversation between my eldest daughter and Stitch.

C: "Do you get wedgies?"
And you must imagine how very coolly Stitch replied: "No, I just have panties."
C: "Oh, that's good."

I'd also like to add that, now that Fin has discovered the "no" head shake, she never fails to make known her opinions whenever Colson is being reprimanded.

Bits of a Jumbled Narrative on Cows

"They wake up and then they sniff the trees." *sniffing the air*

"And then they laugh. The little ones laugh."

"Only cows freak out."

Green Kid

"I love the Earth soooo much!"

That's my girl. :)

Opus 1

Colson worked on this all day. She started it with Dad this morning (The erased/marked out heads with speaking bubbles ("I'm Happy" and "I'm a bird") are his contribution.) and kept coming back to it throughout the day. I think it's magnificent.

Chess Club

Colson: "What are these?"
Mom: "Pieces to a game called chess."
C: "I want to play that game!"
M: "It's more of a big kid game. I'll teach you to play when you get older though."
C: *sound effects* "I'm getting older..." *sound effects* "Okay! I'm older now! Let's play chess!!!!"

Just wanted to set down the purpose for this blog...firstly, to let everyone know what'll be going on here. And secondly, to establish that I'm not addicted to blogging in general, as this is now the fourth.

So, for all those on Facebook that couldn't care less about how adorably funny my girls are, I'll be posting the cuteness here now. For family and friends who can't get enough of it, and for anyone who feels the occasional Facebook status update is insufficient in exposing said cuteness...and upon the suggestion of Amber, who's jumped ship...here will be a little glimpse into the lives of us. Also, since the computer is always in the same place and pens and paper...er, aren't...it's much more conducive to me actually setting down a record of this ever changing fast-paced phenomenon known as your kids growing up.

In a nutshell, I've caved and here is my mom blog. :)
