Blukany: Me

Me

Luke sent me an email this morning that had the biggest guilt trip ever. So to make him happy, I goofed around with Photobooth. So here you go honey. Happy?

That last one is me practicing my mean face for my talk with Strawberry's teacher today. If I had taken a picture after the meeting, there probably would have been steam coming out of my ears. I may write about that after I've had time to cool off, but I try to avoid too much negativity on the blog. This is our happy place!

I wish I could give you a real kiss. :) Only 4 more months. Ha-ha. Only? Let me rephrase. Four more months?!?! It's only been three and a half so far?? I'm going to go cry into my pillow.

See? Happy place. :)

Luke said...: Thank you my beautiful Bethany. I feel unoriginal saying Beautiful Bethany but I want to use it anyway. I love that sweater. I think you would be very huggable and kissable in that sweater. Love you.; April 28, 2010 at 7:51 AM

Kid Quotes: Adorable things my silly kids say

Mango (while on a visit to NYC): "When are we going back to our own world?" She kept asking all the way home which world we were in now.
Mango (singing): "I'm is a staaaar. And [Apple] is a star. And [Strawberry] is a star. And Mommy is a good cleaner." Me: "Huh?" Mango: "And aaaawesome."
Mango: "Can I put on a dress because boys are here?" (Luke was having a YM activity)
Apple: "You buy awesome stuff and you are more awesome than all the stuff put together."
Mango (we were in telling stories about when we have peed our pants): "When I was a baby, I couldn't walk, I could only crawl. Well, one time, I really had to go to the bathroom, but I couldn't crawl fast enough so I had an accident and peed in my panties." I love that she wanted to be party of the conversation.
Mango: "There is a boy in my gymnastics class and I don't know if I am going to marry him. I really like him, but I don't know if we will get married to each other. That makes two boys I don't know if I'm going to marry. Maybe I will just marry both. And if I meet another boy and I like him very much, I will marry him too and then have three."
Mango: "I wish I had a bear head underneath my head and then I would take off my head and if bears eat dirt I would eat it."
Apple: "I have flowers on my teeth! See? The bumps are like little tulips!" Her bottom teeth have those new-teeth ridges on them. I love that she sees flowers there.
Mango: "Bad guys eat persons. I use the goggles (binoculars) to look out for persons I can eat. I'm a bad guy." She's been attacking me with Apple's plastic sword, trying to hack off my leg for dinner. It's a little creepy.
Mango (in the tub, shampooing her hair): "May-kannie-gah!" Me: "Huh?" Mango: "Meriga!" Me: "Do you mean mohawk?" Mango: "Mookie! Mohk-hawk! Mohawk! A mohawk, a mohawk, a mohawk, a mohawk!"
Mango (in the tub): "I'm a mermaid, but I don't have any rocks to sit on!" She wanted me to go find her one to put in there.
Strawberry: "The Cosby show is seriously the funniest, and I've only watched three episodes. Although, I hate their clothes. They are horrible." (She just finished Malcom in the Middle and wanted another series to watch. I thought I'd introduce her to my very favorite show when I was a kid)
Mango: "Mommy, look in the mirror! Your face is very beautiful!" She said this right after a workout. :D
Mango (after General Conference): "That was a good thing! (really bright voice) But I didn't really want to watch it (angry voice with a glare)"
Apple: "Instead of buying clothes, can you have your mom make them for me?" (She wanted to know where I got my quilt and was super impressed that grandma had made it)
Mango (grabbing hold of her fingers): "Our fingers don't twist very good and I don't know why." I love body discovery. She was twisting her wrist around, but her fingers just wouldn't go. Time for a lesson about synovial joints.
Mango (bringing me two stuffed animals): "You know what I'm going to call them? Merida and Baby-You're-a-Firework."
Mango: "The other boy outside doesn't see the girl in the pretty dress. And he doesn't know that my fingernails got polished and my toes got polished. I don't think he ever saw a girl in a pretty dress before." I guess the guy who came to work on our house wasn't paying her enough attention, even though she was all dressed up.
Mango: "I got an idea. How about you stop putting my socks where my swimming suit goes." This girl gets more sassy every day. She even had a hand on her hip. It was funny because she started out "I got an idea," and I don't know if the mom glare I was giving her made her stumble, but she kept saying, "I mean, I mean, I mean," and changed her tone a little, but still kept going with it.
Mango: "Can you get me some water so I can do swimming lessons?" Me: "You want water for swimming?" Mango (looking confused): "Never mind. Just kidding." She was embarrassed when she realized she didn't make any sense. I think she just wanted a drink, but she ran off to her room. Poor thing.
Mango (playing on my iPad): "Dammit!" I hope she doesn't use that language in Sunbeams. When I taught nursery, we had a little 3-year-old who would curse up a storm. It was adorable, but I was worried the other kids would tell their parents about the new words they learned at church.
Strawberry: "Planning for my future is way more difficult than I thought." We are getting ready for middle school and she is having to choose only one elective among the 5 she really wants to do. Apple's solution: "Just grab him and shake him until he gives you what you want." The difference in personalities between these two is ENORMOUS! I love it.
Strawberry: "Do you know who my least favorite explorer is? Cortez. He killed a bunch of people for gold and silver which is no reason at all. And he had his guys be really mean to other people. I really hate a long time ago." History is a very tough subject sometimes. :(
Mango: "I'm going to put some stickers on Barbie's breast-es so they look pretty." Um. . . okay?
Apple (while we were watching a preview for a Gerard Butler movie): "I hope he's married when I get older because I don't want to have to marry him." I wouldn't mind it. ;)
Mango: "How daddy make a sandwich in his making thing?" Me: "What making thing?" Mango: "That he makes things in." Ah, much clearer. She finally had to drag me and point to the grill. She thinks I'm pretty dense. :)
Mango: "I like it when I taste the car." Me: "When you taste the car??" Mango: "No, no, only when it's dirty." Our roads had been salted for ice and she thought the results were delicious. Gross!!
Strawberry: "I need a last name for a princess. Her name so far is Isabella Bethany Miri, and then what?" Me: "Windsor?" Strawberry: "Um, I'll go with Winter. Isabella Bethany Miri Winter. Perfect." I love that she thinks my name is princessy. Awww.
