Things That Make Me Smile 1/13/12

1. Alyssa: "If the baby's a boy, I'll give it some of my hair so it can be a girl."

2. Leighton: "How did you get so pretty?"
Alyssa: "I don't know. That's just how God made me!"

3. Zac asked for yogurt, but didn't find any in the fridge. He knows that we keep extras of cold foods in the basement refrigerator. He told me, "Yogurt downstairs. Fetch, Mommy!" We don't even have a dog.

4. We don't encourage the kids to dip their veggies in Ranch or anything else for that matter. I love that they request vegetables, whether cooked or raw, and enjoy them plain. It's very rare if we have veggies in a cheese sauce or something of that sort. The other day, I cut up cucumbers for lunch. I mentioned how sometimes I like to dip them in Ranch. Jake was appalled. "Whaaaaat? Cucumbers and Ranch? Maybe I'll try it when I'm 13."

5. Alyssa: "If I fall off the bed and break my head into pieces, I'll just Superglue it back together.

6. Alyssa asked to feed the fish because they were hungry. They started eating as soon as the food hit the water.
Me: "You were right, they were hungry. They said 'thank you.'"
Alyssa: "Hahaha! I didn't know fishes could talk! . . . Can they talk louder?"
 

7. I gave the kids a few choices of what to eat for dinner. They chose salad. Spinach salad. 

8. Watching Jake and Alyssa attempt to play Rock, Paper, Scissors.

9. Alyssa: "I have milk in my nose."
Me: "Why?"
Alyssa: "Because my nose was dry inside and hurt, so I poured milk in, but I used too much."
