Out of our mouths lately

Ashlee: At bedtime, "Mom, we didn't have dinner."

            "Yes we did."

            "We didn't have the nighttime food."  (she gets confused about the meals, but mostly just at breakfast                               which she calls breakfast, lunch or dinner).
We did indeed have dinner at 6pm and then they went outside and played until close to 7, took a bath and got ready for bed.  Ashlee is use to eating and then going to bed so we threw her off.

Caitlin: Has trouble with boy names that start with S

           Sawyer=Zawyer   Simba=Zimba

And speaking of The Lion King sometimes Ashlee says, "Oh well, Hakuna Matata."  I am amazed she can use this phrase appropriately like that, the things we learn from her!

And speaking further of The Lion King Ashlee was singing Hakuna Matata, "It's our problem free, pi-loss-a-pee....."  Then to me, "They say that.  It's okay if they say pee because they don't have a mother."

 Ashlee: "Mom, you're the best!  You make dinner all the day!"


What does CTR mean?  Ashlee: "Be nice and comfortable."  When Caitlin was this age she called it TCR.


They are learning alot about prophets in primary and Ashlee is obsessed with Moseph (Moses + Joseph)
         "Moseph was with the lions"
         "Moseph spilt the water"
         "The Lamanites told Moseph to get the glass plates" (she was also sure we were getting glass plates when we got our license plates)
         "Moseph was eaten by a shark!"
         Even though everything has a 3 year old spin on it, I'm glad that she is learning some things at church and home.


Caitlin:  Singing "Wh-en Geor-ge went to town...." (somehow fitting that in to the tune of Yankee Doodle) She had learned Yankee Doodle at school and just couldn't remember his name.

Ashlee and I saw the M&M commercial at the doctors office where the red guy strips off his shell at the party and I said, "that's a silly commercial."  To which Ashlee said, "Yeah! Nm&Nm's don't talk!!!!"

The girls call my Dad Grandpa Brucester all the time now.  And Ashlee says, "Duck, Duck, Bruce-ster!" She doesn't rhyme when we try to, but she must sort of get the concept.

In Scotland they say "having a lie-in" instead of sleeping in.  So when Caitlin sleeps in we say to her, "were you having a lie-in today?"  The other day she slept in and said, "I slept great.  I slept like a lion!"

We love our silly girls and how much they make us laugh and smile!
