Mom I Paint....

Lately Addi has been painting and loving it. He will sit at the table for at least an hour just painting away. He calls me in periodically and shows me what he has done. This last time I went in to see that he painted and he proudly said to me. "Mom I paint my face". He loves the color purple and that is what he chose. It was all over his hands to. Its good that its water paint and not acrylic or something like that.

What a crack up!!!

Shaina said...: he looks ready to fight in combat!! Cutie little guy. I also brought out the watercolors for georgie. She will also sit for hours, and when I start to walk toward her, she says "No Momma No!" She thinks I'm gonna tell her to stop, but really I just want to see what she's done!; September 5, 2008 at 7:33 PM
Autumn said...: I thought the same a Shaina...he looks ready to join the army. haha

It's cool when we see our children enjoy a hobby so much. I prefer our kids to do something creative instead of watching TV all the time. I really, really HATE TV.; September 5, 2008 at 8:03 PM

Things Aleah says

The kids got to the $1.00 store for doing all of their chores. It took forever and of course they wanted everything. Aleah was in the candy isle and her head was just spinning with everything she saw. I told her to make her choice because we were leaving in 5 min. This was her response...

"There is so much yumy sweetness, I just cant decide"!!!

We were walking to the library on Monday and the smell of summer was in the air. People were watering their grass and we could see a lawn mower being run. As we walked the kids in from started to slow down and make faces, when I heard one child say wow it stinks. Of course Aleah pipes up and says "Yuck it smells like Zebra Poo". I said "How do u know its Zebra and not a dog or cat"? And she promptly told me that she knew the difference between Zebra poo and dog Poo. Go figure....
--------------------------------------

Sunday after church our girls needed to clean up a clothes mess in the basement. Leah and Lexi share a room and so Lexi told Aleah that she needed to clean up her clothes and pick up her side of the room. Aleah proceded to hold up her hand and say "Talk to the hand because I have a headache." She got in trouble from her dad but when he had her come and tell me what she did, I had to hide my reaction, because I started to laugh really hard. It wouldnt have been funny if she had done it to me but hearing about it second hand was hilarious.
--------------------------------------

Sunday morning we woke up and were getting ready for church. I was doing the girls hair in the bathroom and Aleah walks in. She was standing by the door with her Sunday dress on and Said "Mom look my bum us dancing"! I said I cant see it. So she preceeds to lift up her dress and show me that she is clenching and unclenching her bum. I laughed and told her to go show her dad. She came into our bedroom and showed him what she showed me and then told him that "no one else knows how to do this".
-------------------------------------

We went to the store and Aleah raced to touch the van first. Then she touched the car next to ours and said she "Won" cause she touched both cars first. I told her that we cant touch other peoples cars becuase sometimes they might have an alarm on them. She said "oh, then we will go to jail". This sparked a conversation about jail and what u are allowed to do there. Here is the list.....
1. No eating
2. No drinking and if u do its from the toilet.
3. Only Sleeping is allowed
4. No talking
5. Clothes are only black and white
6. No going outside
7. No TV

I dont think she will touch other peoples cars again.
-----------------------------------------

So we went to see Narnia the other day and on the way home the girls were commenting on how hot it was in the car. Then commenting on how hot it was outside. Anni said "Oh man I am sweating!" Aleah said " am not sure if I am hot, let me check" She put her hand in her armpit and said "Yup its wet, so I must be hot too!
----------------------------------------
We are driving on the freeway at like 75 MPH and Aleah says this to me... "Mom when I say duck u have stop so that we can look at them."
I said I cant I am going way to fast. And she said "Well U could if u wanted to."
-----------------------------------------
Today in the car Aleah told me that she was going to die soon. I asked how she knew this and she told me that she sometimes has trouble "breezing" and so she would die if she couldnt fix it. I said u mean breathing? And she said yea mom that is what I said wernt u listening? (on a side note she always asks me when she is gonna die and I always tell her never)
---------------------------------------

I told Aleah Why cant u try and stay on task? She said I dont know mom, I am just a "DoDo" brain. (In our family it is a term of endearment, u know like the bird?). Then she asked me "Mom why did Heavenly Father make me a DoDo brain?"

-----------------------------------------
I was getting ready to change my sweat pants for Jeans and Aleah was in the room. She saw me getting ready to do this and this is what she said:
"Oh I better leave the room" (she walked into the hallway and put her face in the corner)
"Why do u need to leave the room?"
"Because Mom If I see your private its not private any more".
"Ok, who told u this?"
"Anni did"
"Well Anni is sure smart huh?"
"Yup thats why I listen to her".
(On a side note I thought she left the room because Jason pinched my bum and she didnt want to see us doing that)
-----------------------------------------
What she said when I asked her a question the other day..
"Wait mom the awnser is in my brain I just have to find it".

-----------------------------------------
Today Aleah was all about magic. She was doing the coin trick only she was doing it with this piece of fuzzy string. She did it to me and the string disapeared and magically apeared from inside my ear. She was so excited to do it for Jason that she had to show him when we picked him up for work. He was sitting in the passenger side and I was driving. Aleah was sitting right behind him in the van. So he watched her move the string from hand to hand and then it disapeared! We were impressed, he asked her where did it go? She said "Um, Dad give me your head". He said " I can't give u my head". She said then I can't show u what happened to the string. When we got out she pretented that it was in his ear.
-----------------------------------------
An overheard conversation between Aleah and Lexi...

I am not sure what Aleah was doing but she dropped something and said "Oh hairy pickles!"
Lexi heard her say this and said "Aleah thats bad we dont say that."
I said "Lexi why is that a bad word?"
She said in a face that was beet red.... "Mom that is what boys have."
I laughed and said where did u hear that? She said "from the kids at school, that is what they call it."
I said "oh, well ok.....then lets not say that anymore and stop listening to kids at school."
