Funny Things They Say and Do 2013

I try to keep a list of little funny moments throughout the year because otherwise I forget them. Some of them might have been "had to be there moments" but since this book is ultimately for the kids I wanted to include these so they know how goofy they used to be.

Bryce's funny moments: He always has a few less than the other two kids. Mainly because he usually puts quite a bit of thought into what he says. Its not that he doesn't do lot of funny things he just doesn't have quite as many slips as Caleb and Abby do.

1. Abby was singing a nonsense song very loudly in the car.
Bryce: Someone just shoot her!
Me: I think you mean someone just shoot you.
Bryce: Why me? I'm not the one singing!

2. Bryce: How do they tell if the baby is a boy or a girl?
Me: You think about it.
Bryce: I guess they look for long hair or short hair.
Abby: Bryce don't be dumb some babies don't even have hair!
Me: They look to see if it has a weenie or not.
Bryce: (laughing hysterically) that is really funny!!!

3. We were asking our kids what they want to be when they grow up.
Bryce: A doctor or work at EA like dad.
Robb: I think you should be a dentist.
Bryce: I don't think I am even very good at brushing my own teeth!

4. We were sitting at the table eating soup and Bryce was whining that his was too hot.
Robb: Just talk to us until your soup cools off.
Bryce: (waits about 30 sec or so and then says.... So my soups hot.

Abby's funny things from 2013

1. Getting ready for bed
Me: Maybe we could move a little faster than a snail?
Abby: Mom I think you should know that snails are NOT fast.

2.Abby: Mom will you take the bone out of my apple?

3. Abby: Why didn't God make pink dogs? They would be beautiful!

4. (About my walking boot)
Abby: Mom are you going to have to wear that boot at Easter time?
Me: Yes
Abby: That is SO sad because then you can't wear cute shoes for Easter.

5.Abby and I were curled up on the couch and my stomach started growling.
Abby: Are you hungry or is the baby growling at me?

6. I was asking Abby what she did at school for the day.
Abby: The firefighters came and talked to us about what to do if your house is on fire or you are on fire.
Me: Oh yeah? What do you do if your house is on fire?
Abby: Get out
Me: What do you do if you are on fire?
Abby: Hmm ???? I don't remember. It was 3 things though.
Bryce: Stop, Drop and Roll?
Abby: No.... pretty sure that is not it.

7. Abby came downstairs with capris on that were so small that she couldn't button or zip them.
Me: Abby you can't wear those. They are too small.
Abby: That's what you do mom.
Me: I have a baby in my tummy and wear a belly band with my pants that are too tight.
Abby: Can you just get me one of those bands too?

Caleb's funny things of 2013:

1. On Mother's Day
Caleb: Bryce and I have been talking and if you want to go shopping today we can. Since that is your favorite thing to do. But we want to bring our money and get a toy, okay.

2. Caleb: Look Dad! That Jeep is SO cool. If we wouldn't have had Abby we could have got one of those.

3.Caleb: I wish all day were weekend days!

4. Caleb was watching a commercial that showed Kennel in the Dog Daycare place.
Caleb: That place looks WAY more fun than regular daycare. Those dogs even get to swim. I wouldn't mind spending the day there!

5. Caleb listening to us talk about baby names.
Caleb: I bet Grandma would have an opinion.
Robb: I bet she would.
Caleb: Yeah Grandma always has an opinion.
(sorry Susie, it was too funny to not include)

6. I was having a bad day and was crying. Caleb came up to give me a hug.
Me: Your arms aren't going to fit around me much longer.
Caleb: (laughs) Mom, you don't even know how long my arms can get.

7. I was laughing while Caleb was reading to me because the baby was going crazy.
Me: Are you going to read to your sister someday?
Caleb: Depends.. Does it count towards my reading minutes?

8. We had been watching this bird nest that was built on the fence post. The babies had all hatched but were pretty small yet. We were expecting to get a bad thunderstorm.
Caleb: I am really worried about the baby birds if it rains! Can we just bring them in mom?
Me: No, if we touch them the mom won't take care of them anymore.
Caleb: (thinks for a while) I have a plan! We can use one of the really long grilling spatulas, pick up the nest and set it in the garage. That way they can stay safe and dry and we don't have to touch the nest.

Robb and Erin funny moment of 2013
Robb's parents had mentioned that they wanted to get me some new dishes for Christmas but had wanted my input on what kind I would like. Later that week Robb and I were sitting on the couch watching TV and was searching on the Internet. All of a sudden I said "What do you think of Galaxy?' Robb looks at me and says "For a NAME?!" I was pretty funny trying to explain through all my laughing that no I did not want to name our child Galaxy instead I was wondering what he thought of the plate pattern Galaxy.
