Words of wisdom...or not!

Here are a few quotes from the last week or so.

The kids were making faces with their eyes and Renee says... "Chad look. I can blink" Then started opening and closing her eyes really fast.


Wesley asked Aunt Tori for a cookie and she said she would give him a one if he gave her a big hug. Wesley said... "If I squeeze you real tight can I get 2?"


The kids went and stayed with nanny for a few days this weekend. Nanny says to Renee "I like those cute little pants. Where did you get them from?" Renee says..."Ummm, in my suitcase."


We were riding in the car this week and Renee says to me "I love you". So I said "I love you to, do you know how different my life was without you" Renee says "FUN". LOL


Renee's translation:

Trampoline = Jump a line
Love you like a fat kid loves cake = Love you like a fat cake
Wifi = Wirefire
Dump truck =  Dumb truck
Grandma = Dram ma
Love = Lub
Wesley = Wefley
Excited = E site ted



Our kids love lettuce. It is so funny. When we go out to eat and they ask for a side of lettuce with their meal. (no dressing or anything just dry lettuce) Mike took them to a seafood restaurant where they put kale on the side of your plate. He called me after the meal and said he had to beg them not to eat the kale.  :)

Renee Says Week 3

Renee "I have to go potty mom". So I say "then go potty". Renee says..."Great idea cuz I have to go bad"

In the bath tub washing her body. She is using body wash that gets really soapy. She says "I want to get this all over me so I will look like a snowman". I say "you mean snow woman"? Renee says..."No, Snow White"

Renee has been sick this week with a bad cough. Asthma + Bad Weather = Sleepless nights. So she has been coughing every couple of seconds and it is just gut wrenching. So she is on medication and she has to take it every 4 hours even through the night, unless she is sleeping fine without it. Usually when she is sick she sleeps in our room so we can listen out for her. Last night I was at practice (for church) and Mike stayed home with the kids. He went and prayed with each boy. Mike walks into Renee's room to pray with her and doesn't see her in there. Then he hears her yell from our room "Daddy, Im in your bed". So he walks into our room and she says "You know I sleep in your bed when I'm sick" (like duh, what were you thinking!!!) He says "uhhh, ok" So then she pushes her luck and says "can I watch a movie"?

Out to eat at lunch Renee got in trouble for something and snapped an attitude with me. Mike was sitting beside me. (He does not let them talk disrespectful to me. That is one of his trigger points). As soon as she realized what she had just done she turned her head towards him and said just as fast and angelic as she could "Daddy, I love you". He lost it. He broke out laughing. It was just so fast. Totally unexpected.  :)


Mike found a song this week that he has been singing. It cracks me up. It says...

I think I'm going to throw up, I think I'm going to throw up, I think I'm going to throw up my hands to the Lord.

I think I'm going to hurl, I think I'm going to hurl, I think I'm going to hurl my sins right out the door.

 

I hope you had a great Wednesday!!!

Renee Says Week 2...

This week I don't have many to share but the ones I do are pretty funny.


We were getting ready to leave the house and Mike was taking the kids by himself (always an adventure) so he went to each child on their own and made sure they knew what the rules were going to be and to made sure they obeyed him. Mike told renee "I need you to mind me" Renee says..."remind you what???"


Pop and Nanny came over to spend the evening with us and to help in the yard (YAY!! Thanks for the help!). This time when Nanny came she brought Renee a shower cap to wear in the bath tub. She gave her the shower cap a couple of hours before bath time. So when bath time came Renee went up to nanny and Renee said... "Nanny where is my handicap?" Then she continued calling it her handicap all night.


Renee was helping clean and we were cleaning with vinegar (which Mike hates) and she said "Mom, I smell stinky" I said "You do? What is it?" She said "I smell it with my nose. Here smell my nose" and proceeded to stick her nose to my face.

Renee Says...

Renee says..."Daddy I got a booboo on my lip". Mike says "how do we fix that baby" Renee "ummm...a kiss and peroxide". So she can articulately say peroxide but not "us". She still says "wuss".

Renee Says..."Jon I really need to sit on the couch because my throat hurts, OK". 

And sitting on the couch will help it?  :)

Jon won a piece of candy last week at church and put it in the cup holder in his booster seat. This week we were driving in the car and Jon opened his cup holder to find his candy. He was so excited to find it and really wanted to eat it right then. But at our house you get a piece of candy after "mommy time" (nap or just stay in your room for the time you are told). So he knew he was going to have to wait.

Renee expressed how attached she was to his piece of candy and how it was her favorite and how she only wanted to eat that kind after nap but she did not have a piece like that one. She is a little drama. :)

Jon says "I'm going to be really nice. Renee you can have my piece of candy" That just made me so proud. Although, he is always giving his stuff away. Mostly to Renee because she has a way with the art of acting.

I told her "Renee you should be really nice and say 'Thank you Jon but I want you to keep it because you really wanted it".

Renee looks at Jon and says "Thank you Jon, I'm going to keep it because I really wanted it".

Not quite what I had in mind.  :)

Then she continues on to say "I'm going to keep it forever and never eat it...until after nap"

Q:   How to properly hold a book.

A:   With your toe of course. So you can use both hands to talk with.


It is really awkward when she does this in church.
