Attitude and Pizzazz

We have had a busy week so far with our Super Conference going on, but it sure has been a great one! I’m going to be honest, it’s not always easy for us to come up with blogs especially when we have weeks that are as busy as this one.  I decided to make a list of things my kids have said lately that have made me laugh. I hope they can bring a smile to your face too.

For Easter this year our church offered free family photos. As my husband was taking photos of a family, my daughter walked into the room with her hand on her hip and said to them, “attitude and pizzazz!”. The sass is strong with this one.

We told the girls that if they were good we would get them milkshakes. When we asked Stella what kind of milkshake she wanted she told us, “ Um, I would like chocolate flavor with a little umbrella.”

Same milkshake trip. Talia had fallen asleep before we got to the milkshakes. Stella got Talia awake long enough to take the shake we were handing her but as soon as Talia had it in her hands, she closed her eyes again and was asleep. We were trying to get her to put it in her cupholder. While she was sleeping, she lifted the straw from her shake to put it in her cupholder thinking it was the whole cup. So the straw that had whip cream on the end was stuck to the side of her cupholder.

 The other day I heard, "Mom, I need new underwear." "Why is that?" "I really don’t know how to tell you this, but I went potty in my underwear."

Our daughters have a new rock collection. They aren’t anything special, just whatever rock they can pick up between our house and the church. Anyway one of the girls told us, “Hmm, I’ve never ate a rock before." We assured her that would not be a good idea.

"Dad, does Jesus pray?"
"Yep."
"Dad, who does Jesus pray to?"
"God."
"Jesus prays to Himself?"

We heard Olivia saying something from her bed so my husband went to check on her. She was holding a piece of her hair and said, “my hair broke.”

One of the girls asked me, "Momma, if our new baby is a boy, can we name him Captain Barnacles?"

We had some cake one evening this week after the services. Stella sat down at the table and said, “Chocolate makes everything better.” I couldn’t agree more!

What has made you laugh this week?
