Ok. . . so here’s the drill – in the parentheses is who said it, and then the italics set the context -

8. (Kya) As we are getting ready for bed, and cleaning up his room. . . “No dad! . . . I want to sleep with my pumpkin” . . . it’s a real pumpkin

7. (Ang) we have just started to eat dinner . . . Reggio’s pizza from ALDI . . . “WOW! I didn’t know pizza could be that bad!”

6. (Me) As I, barefoot, am getting up from dinner to clean up Dakota. . . . . . “aauughh, I felt a crunch and a squish in the same step” – I guess it’s time to sweep the kitchen floor!

5. (Me and Dakota) As we are praying before dinner . . . (me) “Dakota, what is something you are thankful for?. . . . (Dakota) . . . TTSSTT . . . (me) OK then.”

4. (Elliana) As we are laughing at the the pizza comment in #7. . . . “Mommy, does the baby laugh when you laugh?”

3. (Kya) snickering. . . but trying hard to conceal his dramatic genius . . . “Mom, my nose is bleeding. . .

bleeding? - no ketchup

2. (Ang and I) trying to get Kya to go outside and play . . . (Ang) “Kya. . . go outside, get the wagon. . . and catch some squirrel dust. . .Kya takes off outside . . . (me) what is squirrel dust?. . . (Ang) I don’t know. . .”

1. (ELLIANA) While we were walking, and as a jogger ran right past us. . . . Is that a boy or a girl Daddy?!

Have a great start to the week everyone. . . . you going to get peppered with posts today – it has been a full weekend.
