funny kids

Just wanted to post a few of the funny things the kids have said and done in the last couple of days. I need a blog all its own to keep track of this stuff... we all know how hilarious kids are and I just dont want to forget these little things.

I found a bridal portrait of myself  and took it out to show the kids. And to stare at day and night, wondering how I was ever that tiny and didn't enjoy it! 

Luke saw it and said, "Mom, you look like a princess!"

I was thrilled with his description and said, " you think I looked pretty?"

"Well, not a pretty princess."

"O' you don't think I was beautiful when I got married?"

"No Mom.... you kinda' just look........ medium."

I laughed and he said again, "do you even know what medium is?"

"yes Luke."

"ok.... yep, you're just medium Mom."

Yesterday Luke was trying to get Ella to play Light saber's. This is a regular occurrence at our house. Luke insisted that he be Yoda. He was trying with all of his might to get Ella to be Padme , she had other ideas.

"Lukie... I'm Princess Yoda!"

He eventually let it go since that was the only was Ella was going to participate. And Yoda and Princess Yoda had a nice little battle.

Last night Ella was playing with her little Care Bear's. She was playing so thoughtfully with them. It was time for them to go to sleep and I overheard her telling all 5 of them that it was story time and then bedtime. She read each of them a story, gave them a kiss and told them to have good dreams. I got up a few minutes later to use the restroom... what a rarity! And I about died when I looked on the steps. 

Each Care Bear was indeed asleep in their bed. The "bed" was a book, half opened, with a soft little bear nestled between the pages. It certainly looked like a mattress and a bedspread. 5 books, 5 Care Bears and Ella's imagination. 

She's going to be such a great Big Sister.
