Kidisms

How about a round of Kidisms? I've been taking notes on my phone and have some great ones, or so I think, to share! I have quite a few so get a cup of coffee and settle in. This is Paige-heavy, but 3 is a little funnier with messing things up ha.

Paige's pen died and said 'My pen ran out of batteries.'

Paige got in my lap before getting out of the car at school one day and said 'What is that smell?' When I said I didn't know, she said 'It's your breath, your toothpaste washed off.'

Drew still says a few words wrong. Aposably - supposedly - is a recent one that I thought was so cute.

One of our neighbors is one of my best friends, and we saw 2 older ladies walking one day and commented on these cute old ladies walking and hoping this would be us when we were old. Trent heard us and deadpanned 'You need to take out the cute part.' Oh snap!

Some song lyrics Paige has gotten wrong lately - wrong but oh so cute!
-Mary Mary quite contrary, how does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockleshells taco shells and pretty maids all in a row.
-Twinkle, twinkle, little star, up a-bubba the world so high
-I don't care...what the big boys say {Let it go}

Trent commented on being dressed up for some family pictures and saying he thought his outfit was degrading until he saw Reid and Grant {Susie's sons}, ha. He's such a punk.

Brent made chicken friend steak, and Paige asked for 'some of that deer chicken'.

Drew was having some stomach issues and said 'I love when I make cloud poop.'

A joke Trent made up:
Q: What do you call a homeless caveman?
A: A hobo sapien!

Paige is still rear-facing, and one Sunday on the way to church she shouted out 'We forgot Mommy!' No baby girl, I'm just the driver! She also got out of dance early one day when I was in jazzercise {the next suite in the same shopping center} and she told one of the other moms 'I losed my mama!'

When Drew had a loose tooth, she said 'My sweet tooth is about to fall out.'


Paige has been getting attitude - she is SO spoiled - 'I am not throwing away my trash.' and 'Get your hands off of me.' We need to work on her attitude!

Drew was counting and said '4, 4 and a half, 4 and 2 quarters, 4 and a dollar.'

We have been working on getting her to stay in her bed and using a new toy as a bribe. Her response 'I don't want a toy.' Well, dang, that was our trump card!

Trent and I were talking about Harry Potter {I know, I know} and he started talking about 'Ravendor' and 'Gryffinclaw'. We both cracked up.

I got a picture of this moment!

I think Paige is watching too much YouTube. How do I know this? She told the big kids 'Before we start, give us a thumbs up and subscribe to our channel.' Oops!

I told you I had a lot of funny stories to share!

Book Worm

I had some fun book worm things to talk about - and I know almost everyone who reads my blog will agree that being a book worm is fun. {grin}

1) Y'all know I am a giant Harry Potter nerd and would find nothing more enjoyable than making references to the HP world all day. Well, I was on a conference call one time at work and made a crack about wishing I was a Griffyndor but knowing I'm really a Hufflepuff. I mean who doesn't WANT to be a Griffyndor?!?! Well, crickets. NO ONE I WAS TALKING TO HAD EVER READ HARRY POTTER. I was in shock but also a little embarrassed that I made this little crack with words that sounded like gobbledy-gook that no one understood ha. BUT to make matters worse, I tried the same little joke a few weeks later with a different group of people and GOT THE SAME REACTION. #killmenow

2) I found this printable on IG and thought it would be really fun to fill in throughout the year. I'm struggling already though to decide my favorite for January. I'm debating between The Printed Letter Bookshop and A Place For Us. The Printed Letter Bookshop was just a fabulous read [nerd alert, I wanted to use the word delightful, but I use that too often describing books, so I looked up synonyms ha] that made my heart happy while A Place For Us most certainly did NOT make my heart happy but was very powerful and moving and impactful... Can I have a tie?

3) I've really gotten into updating/using Goodreads. I never really understood the purpose before, but I downloaded the app and am having fun seeing what other people are reading, instantly updating my 'Read' shelf or 'Want to Read' shelf {which I can tell is going to grow to be huge}, rating books in the moment, and reading others' reviews. I set a goal for the year of 100 books {less than 2018, more than 2019}, and I like that it keeps track of where I am in relation to the goal {currently 1 behind the pace, AAAAAHHHH}. Anyone want to be my friend? HA.

4) A little bit related to #3, if I 100% read or listen to my child read a book, even if it's a bit on the easy side but over 100 pages...should I count it toward my goal? For example, Drew and I finished the 2nd Babysitter Club book last night. It was over 150 pages, and I read it all out loud to her. Now on the flip-side, T read some of Just Mercy to himself {and got in trouble for it since I had specifically told him he couldn't read that alone since I wasn't sure if it was too mature for him and have definitely edited out some sentences when reading together}, so I wouldn't count that towards my goal. Thoughts?

Any super nerdy book worm stories you want to share?
