Too Much Candy

Preface, my kids have all had runny noses and coughs for like a week, pretty much every kid I have seen this month has had a runny nose and a cough.

So, last Sunday was Easter and my kids go to eat candy, right?
Last Sunday was also the birthday party for my little girl, so my kids got to eat cake, right?

After his first piece Cyrus asked for another slice and I told him no, he had already had enough sugar for the day and I didn't want him to get sick.  To which he replied..."but Mom, I'm already sick!"

Police Officers

This morning as we were shopping Cindy asked me about my keys:

Me: I have keys to help me drive our car
Cindy: to lock the car so the bad guys /daiz/ can't /tant/ get us!
Me: Do you know who can help us if bad guys come?  The police, that is their job, they help keep us safe.
Cindy: yes they would come /t^m/ with their "mee-mow"s and "mee-mow" the bad guys /daiz/ with their "mee-mow" things /tingz/.

At our house sirens usually say "ee-oo" but I guess Cindy has pegged their sound with "mee-mow" and apparently sirens can be deadly to bad guys.

Then later on today she told me that she and Chandel are beautiful, and I am gorgeous.  Well, thanks little girl!

Just Bummin' Around

I just called Cindy down for dinner (she was upstairs playing) and she came down the stairs on her bum, sliding from stair to stair.  Each time she landed she would say "bum".  It sounded like this: "bum, bum, bum..."  then she tells me "here I am mother, I am just bummin' down the stairs!"

Then I asked Cyrus "Where did you put the scissors, hun?" and he quickly replied back "I'm not your hun!"  He then elaborated, "I am your boy, Daddy is your hun".

Preschool friends

Cyrus has made a couple of friends in his preschool class this year.  Most are friends he made in preschool last year, but there is one girl who is new, for Halloween she gave out little bags of candy with a tag on them and I once found that he was sleeping with Chloe's tag under his pillow.  Then when he came home from preschool last week he had a picture she had drawn for him in his backpack.  He found Cindy Kay's Princess Sophia coloring book and colored this Chloe a special princess picture, because "she likes princesses".  He took it to her today.

Christmas Trees

Yesterday night we took down the Christmas tree once the kids were in bed, this morning when Cindy Kay noticed the tree was gone she told me that "the Grinch took our Christmas tree" and that he had taken it "back to his workshop" and then he would "bring it back to our house".  She loves loves loves that story!

Merry Christmas sayings:

Cindy has been saying some pretty cute things this Christmas, my favorites have been:  calling Santa "Santa-ta" I have no idea where she picked that up but it has stuck around all season, and my mom got her some jammies with Cindy Lou on them which she loves because they have her name on them.  When she wears them she calls herself Cindy Kay Lou Who and it sounds like "Cindy Tay Woo hoo".  Christmas rocks

New Baby Girl

We just had a new baby girl and Cindy has had some pretty funny things to say about her...She was really surprised the first time she saw the baby's umbilical cord.  Grammy explained that that was where the baby's belly button was and Cindy turned and said, "that's not a belly button, that is poop". She then told Grammy that she needed to clean it off.

She also has a pretty cute name for our new baby Chandel, she calls her "shambell" and says that the baby is Bell and she is Cinderella.
