10-24-17 We had a bit of an incident after CC today. Kira was unloading the vehicle and decided to mess around in the driver's seat. Accidentally put it in gear and it rolled down our driveway and crashed into the house across the road! Luckily no one was hurt and the only damage was to the neighbors' downspout.
11-06-17 Stopped in to Cappuccino & Co just before closing to grab myself a gf lemon bar. I told my kids that I got to be their very last customer of the day. Kira excitedly speaks up, "You're their 'best for last'!"
11-09-17 Jasmine's new nutcracker doll has the "cracking" part on the doll's chest rather than its mouth. Russ said, "It's like the window to her soul." Jasmine said, "I thought the soul was next to the kidneys?"
11-19-17 While decorating the tree Kira put up a cross ornament and said, "I'm putting this up for Grandpa Jim" (who she never met because he died when I was pregnant with her). This morning she moved the cross ornament over to the piano next to the nativity and said "It can be over here too because there are lots of sad things over here."
11-22-17 Jasmine: "If I were to adopt a baby, I'd adopt a black baby because they're so cute." Kira: "You mean a brown baby? Their skin is brown, not black." Jasmine: "Yeah. They just call them black for some reason."
12-08-17 Parenting is always full of surprises. I went to change Bria's poopy diaper and when I opened it up...there was a matchbox car in there! Apparently Kira stuck the car in there AFTER Bria had pooped!
12-10-17 Overheard: Kira: "Jasmine, come be the toilet because I want to be the sink!"
1-1-18 Kira says to me (in a whiny begging voice), "When am I going to get to see Evelyn again? She probably really misses me. She loves me soooo much!"
1-24-18 Jasmine told me she wants to go to Egypt for her honeymoon. "Although it's probably not very romantic."
1-24-18 I was telling Kira that I wasn't letting her go into a store with Eden because I can't always trust her to be good because she often throws fits when she doesn't get what she wants. She answered back with, "Yeah I can't handle it very well."
2-7-18 Was looking at some senior pictures on Facebook when Kira comes and asks me who it is.
I said, "That's my cousin's son, Jacob."
K: "But what's their name?"
Me: "My cousin's name is Mandie."
K: "Yeah...but what's the honey's name?
Me: "huh?"
K: "uh. I don't know how to explain it."
Me: "You mean her husband?"
K: "Yeah!"
Me: "Her honey's name is Mark."
2-14-18 Most of us were hanging out in Russ & my bedroom when Acacia walked in and I got all excited and exclaimed, "Acacia! We missed you so much!" Kira (deadpan): "I didn't. I didn't care."
3-16-18 Kira: “Ugh! STUPID SNOWMAN!! He doesn’t want to be built!”
3-16-18 Kira: “Daddy, will you come build a snowman with me? They keep being better at building a snowman than me!”
3-24-18 Bria has discovered and has begun taking full advantage of the word, “why?”
4-9-18 Kira: “I want to go to the Tumbled Tangleweed” (Instead of Tangled Tumbleweed)
4-14-18 Jasmine: “Steve Jobs was really good at jobs; especially Steve jobs.” *giggle*
4-15-18 Kira: “Jesus died for our sins.” Me: “Did you learn that in church today?” Kira: “Actually I’ve heard that lots of times at church. *pause* Why would He do that?”
5-13-18 We joke around about how each of our kids has their own "catchphrases". Today when we were talking about it again, Acacia says, "Mom-I know what yours is. It's "I love you!""
6-7-18 Kira has been super freaked out by thunderstorms the last two weeks, tonight she was praying, “Please don’t let hail hit anyone. Don’t let the hail hit the Seay’s or Miss Amber.”
6-18-18 Jasmine's artwork:
7-1-18 I told Bria, "I think you need to take a nap." She said, "No. I'm better now."
7-6-18 Jasmine: (While watching a video of me when I was 11) "You look the same except your face is smoother."
7-13-18 I told Eden that I wasn't feeling well and she turns to me and says, "You're fine. Just pray it off."
7-16-18 Acacia is taking a liquid oral antibiotic, “It tastes like money smells.”
7-23-18 I asked Jasmine, “So, what kind of sandwich did you make Daddy?” Jasmine: “I didn’t make Daddy a sandwich.” Me: “ You didn’t?” Jasmine: “I made a sandwich FOR him.”
7-24-18 Riding in the car Kira asked me to turn on music so I turned up the radio, “Ugh! Not love music. I want Rock & Roll!”
8-19-18 Kira: “If Bria & I were twins, how old would we be?”
9-3-18 While observing Kira & a friend playing—
Mason: “I am 5 too! Almost 13!”
Kira: “My sister is 13! She’s in 8th grade; almost in college!”
10-25-18 Opened a bottle for Jasmine and took a sip.
J: “hey! You always take a drink when you open something for us!”
Me: “Mommy tax.”
J: “I hate the mommy tax.”
10-20-18 Overheard Kira yelling at Acacia: “You can’t tell me what to do! It’s not like you pushed me out of your tummy!”
11-5-18 Kira: “I would not marry or be a girlfriend of someone that smokes.”
11-11-18 Bria’s new favorite expression is “Yeah....Maybe.”
