Kids say the Darndest things


Some cutesty lines for you today, brought to you by Ellyanna:

Quote 1

“The boy got a gift.”  Ellyanna read out loud. 

“Very good.”  I chimed, proud of my little girl who can read small sentences.  That is, the sentences and words we review every night after bath time.  She beamed with pride and then her little forehead proceeded to scrunch up as she pointed at the flash card. 

“Why is there a polka dot there?”    Baffled I glimpsed at the card in my hand.  Polka dot?  What polka dot?  Oh…she meant the period.

“Well that is called a period, and this goes at the end of every sentence.”  Her brows furrowed and she said.

“But why is there a polka dot there?”  Maybe this explanation was a bit advanced for a four year old. 

Any ideas on how to explain this?  Think it over and share with me. 


Quote 2

“What you gonna do with all that junk?  All that junk in your trunk?”  Elly belted out the words as she bopped her head and shook her hips in an awkward, innocent way. 

I promise I didn’t teach her this song.  Danny likes to quote the movie “Blades of Glory” a lot.  And it just so happens that there is a scene where Will Ferrel sings this and says a few funny lines.  Danny likes to randomly quote this part of the movie and Elly is listening.  I have to admit it is quite adorable to see her sing and dance to songs she has heard over the radio.  And we are now at that age where you really need to be careful about what they watch and hear.  Oh my goodness they are always watching and listening and suddenly one day they are saying the same exact things you say with the same exact quizzical looks or furrowing brows.  And most of the time I love it.  I’m sure this will change when we hit the teenage years.

My Love Story Part 1

To tell my love story, I have to start from the beginning, which involves a mini love story before the love story-a chance for you to see the real confused and pushy jerk within me. We all have doubts and confusion about what is the right thing to do, what we really truly want in life, just most of you aren't crazy ridiculous like me. No matter,I will still share the story, because it is the story of me...and how I eventually met and married the love of my forever, Danny. Enjoy! It is a little bit all over the place and yeah I don't edit-no time for that. And feel free to judge.::::: "I'm not supposed to be here!" The words rattled into my head. Here I was standing in the hallway of a church building awaiting for the young single adult festivities to officially begin. Men and women bustled about, introducing themselves, laughing, playing games, while I stood there frozen in place, my heart beating with anxiety. After all, I didn't belong here, I

Meal Time Sentences

Our lovely flash cards that we DO use!!                        I am not a very good teacher.   I should be going over letters and numbers every single day with Ellyanna, but I’m not.   I should be teaching her how to trace and write them out, but of course I’m not.   I save it all for preschool, which is only two days a week.   I’m far from perfect.   But I am taking little steps.   I do something small every day, something I like to call meal time sentences.               What are meal time sentences?   Let me back track here.   A couple of years ago we bought “Your Baby Can Read” because I just had to have it and insisted that our daughters would be becomes real life geniuses in result.   Of course being the mom that I am, I was gung ho for the first couple of weeks and then easily stopped.   “Your Baby Can Read” comes with videos, which we placed in the car DVD.   Ellyanna grew sick of it quickly.   A lot of whining sounded once the theme song to these DVD started.    But B

Pregnancy Fears

I'm scared. I'm scared because I am five weeks pregnant and I have no symptoms that I usually have. I am not sick, smells are not revolting to me and I feel normal, just fine. Which makes me wonder, am I pregnant? Is there a live baby in there...or did I lose it already?? And I want another baby so bad, that this overwhelming fear weighs on me, and makes my heart heavy. Every time I see a newborn, those precious just from heaven babies, I melt. And the thought stirs me, I'm ready, ready for another baby. And I know I'm only five weeks along, but I I recall those horrible symptoms being nearly instantaneous. As crazy as it sounds, those symptoms also brought comfort. Like I always knew I was pregnant because the harsh reality was I wouldn't be throwing up like a crazy if I wasn't. Never mind I could not manage to take care of myself let alone Elly. Oh I am just scared and I don't know what to do about it. I called the doctor the other da
