Kids say the darndest things!

My little pixies are such a hoot.  They always keep a smile on my face.  I thought that I would tell a couple cute stories of funny things they've said or done in the last little while.

This morning as we were heading to the car to go to church Daddy wanted to see if he could get us their a little quicker and told us, "the last one in the car is a rotten egg!"  Daddy has said this before and actually scare little Kate because she thought that a rotten egg was out to get us.  Well, today I put her in the car and she was kneeling in her seat looking out the back window.  I kept trying to coax her to turn around, but she wouldn't.  Finally she turned to me and said, "Mommy, that's the house that the rotten egg lives in and we better hurry before he gets us!"

The other night we were driving in the car and singing songs.  Ember finally decided to join in with her own song.  This is the first time we've heard her actually sing a song and we actually didn't sing it first.  From the back of the car we could hear, "ean up, ean up, evybo, ean up, ean up..."  If you you need a translation:  "clean up, clean up, everybody everywhere, clean up clean up..."  The first song Ember has learned to sing is the clean up song!

My cousin Adam's father-in-law looks like Santa Claus.  He plays Santa at Christmas, but he purposefully wears red and green all year long so that he always looks like Santa.  I wish I had a picture!  Well, with that background, here's the story.  In August my cousin Katie Jean got married.  At her reception we sat around eating popcorn and we were sitting by my cousin Adam and his father-in-law.  Kately was sitting on the grass and turned to "Santa" and said, "Santa Closet, Santa Closet, look popcorn."  It took Santa a while to realize that she was talking to him.  

This morning at breakfast Kately said the blessing on the food.  She said, "Heavenly Father, please bless my food to be safe."  And then ended her prayer.  Short, sweet and I think the Lord understood.

Grandma Dew went out of town for a week to visit my sister's family in North Carolina.  Kately asked every day if we could go to Grandma's house to play with he princesses.  My girls really missed their grandparents.  One of the days that Grandma was gone Kately came in to the kitchen with her arms folded tight and her head held high in the air.  She looked at me and said, "I'm Grandma Dew, I'm Grandma Dew."  She looked very proud.  For the next few hours we had to call her Grandma Dew to get her to respond to us.

Kately wanted to go on a tiger hunt this day and we had to wear our sunglasses and capes to help us catch him.

Chris was sitting at the computer and Kately found a little button pin that said "I love St. Mark's Hospital" (where Chris works).  Kately brought it to Chris and said, "It says 'together in Paris.'"  Kately really enjoys watching the movie Anastasia and in the movie she has a necklace that says, 'Together in Paris'.

For October Conference we went to Grandpa Myers' house.  They took the girls on a walk to see the pigs down the street.  We got to feed them rotting apples.  The girls loved it.  We have been working on Ember's animal sounds.  While we were looking at the pigs we kept asking what does a pig say and we would say "oink", but she would make more of a snorty, weird sound that actually sounded more like the pigs she was hearing.  I bet she thought that we were pretty strange telling her that pigs say "oink" when in reality, these pigs made no such sound!

I know there are lots more stories, but I just can't think of them right now.  It is so fun to have these little pixies in my life!
