November Quotes

Dallin:  Our family is one of the main families of awesomeness.

Hayden:  Mom, Sydney is messing my stuff up.  Can you just put her away?

At Walmart today we saw a little dog inside the store with a special coat on that said "Service Dog" on it.  Daphne asked if me if Dad would let us get a service dog that would help us.  I said, "You have to need a service dog to get one of those."  Out of desperation Daphne asked, "So if I got blind, would Daddy let us get a dog?"

Hayden:  Mom, if you don't go in there and help Daphne right now,  
I'm gonna hang on your leg.

(Hayden is smart because he knows that I get super annoyed when I have kids hanging on my legs.)

Dallin:  Daphne, I know how to get what you really want for Christmas.  I've noticed that the last few Christmases, Santa always gets me the least expensive thing on my list.  So this year, I'm gonna put the thing I really want, and then list a bunch of other way more expensive stuff in the letter and Santa will pick the least expensive thing, which is the thing I really want.

Hayden: When I'm a daddy, I'm gonna be a police, and a race-car guy and a pizza-maker.

Dallin:  Mom, I don't think everyone is awesome.  But I am one of the few people who are AWESOME.

Hayden:  I am not cute, Mom.  I am awthsome.

(Isn't it great that my kids have such high opinions of themselves?)  

On a different day, Hayden said:  Mom, I hope Thithter (sister) Ethplin doethn't say, "Cute Hayden" to me, becauthe I am Awthsome Hayden.

Hayden: Ladies and Generals, we are gonna sing a song!  "Bow-chicka-wow-wow, that's what my babeh says, bow-chicka-wow-wow!"

At school, Dallin wrote this descriptive paragraph about our piano:

The Piano

"I love the piano in my house.  It is made of lovely wood.  Some keys are shiny white and others are as dark as black can be.  The music it makes it lovely and sweet.  It is sweeter than the sweetest candy.  There is dust on the top of the wood on the piano, and on top of the dust there are photos of my parents. The wood is soft and the keys are hard, but the music is sweeter than the sweetest honey."

I love that in his description he included the  dust on the top of the piano, and on top of the dust are pictures.  What an honest description of our piano.  

After an inordinate number of timeouts occurred in a single afternoon, Arthur said, "I think we're gonna need more dryers."  (If that doesn't make sense to you, you may not know that sitting on the dryer is our time-out spot.)

Hayden:  But it's my birthday!

Me:  Just because it's your birthday doesn't mean you get to be a brat.

Hayden, knocking on the bathroom door yells, "Hey Sean! whatchya doin' in there?"

Sean yells back, "I'm goin' poop!"
nice.
