A few snip its of life around here lately:
Kaia: "Mom! You are NEVER going to believe this!"
Me (kinda envisioning the worst): "What is it?!"
Kaia: "Last night I dreamed I had my VERY OWN HORSE!"
Me: "Whoa - that IS unbelievable." (...and also unlikely, my dear)
Last night while the girls were taking a bath & pretending to brush each other's hair:
Kaia: "God is good, God is good, and we thank him for our hair."
And then today as we were trying on Halloween costumes, I tied red ribbons in Kaia's hair to make it look like red hair (without actually dying it):
Kaia: "Ashlyn, how do you like my red hair?"
Ashlyn: "Well, it looks very...HAIRY!"
(Then they both roll around laughing like it is the funniest joke on the planet).
Seriously. These two. I live with the most hilarious tiny humans.
The other day Connor raced in after school and shut himself in his room for a good 20-30 minutes. Normally I might have been concerned, but the girls & I were outside riding bikes, so I basically figured he was building Legos (what he does EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.)
Then he came outside to announce that his room was "Closed" for the rest of the day. Here's how it went down:
Me: Why is your room "Closed?"
Connor: Well, I made you and Dad a surprise. Its in there & you have to wait until he gets home to see it.
Me: Cool.
Connor: I already made a "closed" sign on my door in case you forget.
Me: Great. I really hope I don't forget.
Connor: Do you want to guess what it is?
Me: Okay, a NEW PAIR OF SHOES!?
Connor: No, Mom. (annoyed)
Me: Ummmm....a new puppy!!??
Connor (laughs): Totally not.
Me: New Coat?
Connor: NO!! (He's floored because my guesses are SO WILD.)
Me: It is....ahhhh....I know! Its a new ipad?!
Connor: MOM! Do you know that I CAN'T DRIVE?! Its nothing from the store at all.
Me: Okay. Did you make me some brownies?
Connor: N.O. Mom - I can not use the oven without an adult...don't you already know that?
Me: Okay. I give up. Nothing that requires driving. Nothing that requires baking. Can you give me another hint?
Connor: Think of something that I CAN make. With stuff we already have.
Me: Is it a Lego surprise?
Connor: How did you guess that so FAST?
Me: I'm just that good.
