July Quotes

Hayden came to me crying with his inside-out shirt in his hand and said,  "I don't like it when my shirt is teasing me and I can't fix it!"

Hayden:  Mom, I bit my tongue.  And my tongue is not for dinner!

Dallin:  Sometimes I wish I could switch Sydney off like C-3PO

Me:  Thanks for folding those clothes, Dallin.  You can earn some beads for that.
Dallin:  Oh, thanks, mom, but I'm not doing it for beads.  I just doing it to help our family out and so we won't have to walk around all day naked.
Me: Wow, thanks Dallin!
Sean:  Well, I am doing it for beads.

I was telling Dallin how much I was looking forward to when he was old enough that he could babysit for us all the time.  He said, "Yeah, then I'll be babysitting all the time and it'll be like the shroud of the dark side has fallen."

Arthur:  Where are all the flashlights?
Hayden:  I know!  I know where they are.
Arthur:  Where are they?
Hayden:  Well, they are thomewhere in thith garage.

Here is a conversation between me and Hayden one night.  I said, "Hayden, you need to go up and get your jammies on.  I am tired of asking you.  If you aren't moving by the time I count to three, you'll get a spankin'."  Hayden just stood there smiling at me, while I counted down, and when I finished he said, "Okay, now, jutht give me a little thpankin."  I said, "Nope, you didn't obey, so you get  real spankin'"  That made him sad and as he went upstairs to get ready for bed, he turned and said, "Mom, if you were little, I would give you a thpankin."  I thought about giving him another one for being belligerent, but it kind of made me laugh, so instead I just said something like, "Well, I'm the mom, and I'll never be little again, and just go get your pajamas on."

Sean: When I'm a dad and have some kids, I'm gonna name one of them Anakin.

Hayden:  I know, Daphne, I'm GOING to marry Ellie, jutht not right now.

Me:  Time to brush your teeth!  
Hayden:  I don't have to brush my teeth tonight because tomorrow is Pirate Day!  
(After all, Pirates have green teeth!)

Sean:  (regarding a taxi at the airport)  Hey! That car is wearing a hat.

Hi I'm Lindsey! said...

So how do you keep track of your quotes? I always want to write them down and by the time I do, I forget most of them. Your kids always say such cute things!

Love the quotes--and I must say that having babysitters in the family is fabulous!

Love it! And, yes, it is WONDERFUL to have a built in babysitter. Carter has been my hero this summer.
