Little People's Conversations ...

The last few days the kids have said some funny things, so thought I'd share them here.

The other night we had soup for dinner and Maddison was picking up the bowl and drinking from it if you please! I asked her to use her spoon and she replied ...

"It's 'licious Mummy, just 'licious"!!

(Needless to say she didn't use the spoon!)

Maddison came to me one afternoon and said rather proudly ...

"I done poo's Mummy, I stink, it's 'gusting"

I had to agree with her!

After picking up Maddison from school today we got inside and she says with a big dramatic sigh ...

"I very tired".

So I suggested she have a sleep, but that was a complete waste of words on my part!

Yesterday after picking up Aaron from his music lesson he informed me ...

"I don't like music Mummy".

"Oh why is that Aaron?"

"Cause it makes me hurt all over!"

"Really, that's not good, what is it about music that makes you hurt all over?"

"The teachers make a terrible noise"!!!

I just laughed to be honest ... I mean seriously, how can he blame it on the teachers! ;-) He makes me hurt all over too when he cranks up a loud beat on the keyboard at home and just dances around like a loony (although he says he's dancing like Ben 10!!).

And tonight Aaron informed me

"I can't go to sleep Mummy because my tummy is too big"!!

hahahaa

My reply was "Really ... if you think you have a big tummy and can't sleep, what about Mummy's tummy? She still manages to sleep and her tummy is a lot bigger than yours!"

He grinned at me and said

"Yeah, Mummy's tummy is going to get bigger, 'n bigger, 'n bigger and then POP and then the baby will see you!"

Well how fascinating! I sure hope it doesn't happen like that - would be awfully messy!!! He seems convinced though that this baby is going POP out anyway.

This'n'that

Not much happening around here. I have done a few more LO's (without journaling!) for our holiday album. Here's a couple.

.

A double LO - but in between this I am going to put a sleeve that holds 12 6x4 photos because I had FAR too many photos of this particular outing but really wanted to include them in my album, so decided this was the easiest way to do it without cropping them to bits. (Will also save space!) hehee

Ready, set, go - I used up some alpha stickers and I used foam dots to lift out some of the circles which I cut & punched from old Prima paper.

On a different note ...

.

Some people might think I am fussy ... well I used to be. But I don't think I am near as fussy as I used to be, especially now I have kids. For instance, I don't really care if the beds aren't made - it doesn't bother me (10 years ago it did!). But if you are going to make the bed then you might as well do it properly right?

.

This is how the maid makes the kids beds ... (I am not even going to take a pic of our bed).

I mean seriously - why bother! Just look at Maddison's bed. It looks worse than what it did when she got out of it this morning!

.

My problem ... I don't have the heart to tell the maid how to do it properly. Can't be bothered! So there you go ... I am definitely not as fussy as I used to be right? ;-)

.

Okay of to try and do some journaling before I pick Maddison up from school.

Time for a Swim

It was over 35degs here today ... so Lyndon took the kids for a swim. I opted to sit on a bench with the camera (this baby has outgrown my togs!). ;-)

.

I got out the water squirter's for the kids to play with. They had so much fun ... mainly attacking Daddy! heheehee

Maddison is trying to have a go with Daddy's one - but she didn't have the oomph to get it to squirt at full power!
Love the leg out!
Lining up the water to squirt in Daddy's ear!!


No comment!
Love the look on Aaron's face here. Sums up their time at the pool just right I think :-)

On a completely different note ... has this happened to anyone else? I was flicking through a couple of my albums the other night and found this LO had come to grief. The adhesive I had used just wasn't working at all! And if I am correct it's not one I bought at a scrapbook shop - it was a tape runner I got from a stationery shop that was acid free and I thought it would do (it was also a bit cheaper). I was really disappointed though. Hope it doesn't happen to too many more of my LO's. I can't remember how many I did using that tape runner. Obviously it doesn't pay to get "bargain" adhesive! :-(

Thanks for visiting.

Counting down ...

Well actually there are several things I am counting down till ;-)

.

But I just realised I hadn't blogged that I am attending this ... in 8 more days to be exact! :-)

I can only attend the Saturday class, but I am looking forward to it :-) For details check it out at Scrap-n-Crop's blog here or to book go here.

.

I have done a class with Irene before last year in April (see here for what I made) and really enjoyed it. Learnt lots of different techniques and I just know that this time it will be the same. Can't wait.

.

What I see ... and what I hear ...

Today I stood in the playground and watched Aaron running around getting hot and sweaty and I thought I'd take some pics of what I see ...

.

Here's looking straight ahead. It's the left side of the big new complex that is being built beside us (the right side is a lot taller).

Right ... Aaron climbing all around the concrete ledges.
Left ... more construction in the distance.
Behind ... the playground.
Up ... that's the top of our condo.
And down ... I don't think I need to explain what that is! LOL (29 weeks today.)
.

What I can't see ... my feet! ;-) heheee

.

And here's some things I have heard from the kidlets the last couple of days ...

.

Aaron to Maddison

"If you don't stop right now, you'll go to your room" (no guess as to who he's heard saying that!)

.

Maddison to me after waking this morning

She came running out of her room saying

"Mum, Mummy, come and see scary monster in my bedroom"

I followed (not that I had a choice as she had me by the hand!) and she had emptied out all the soft toys from their bin and a raccoon hat was amongst it ... the hat was the scary monster heheee

.

Aaron to me while lying in bed last night

"Will the Dr be able to fix my big head?"

How does one answer a question like that??? LOL

.

Aaron to Maddison last night after their bath

"Maddison if you are good I'll buy you a dinosaur hotwheels track - won't that be nice!"

Yeah right Aaron!

.

Aaron to me this morning

"Look Mummy I found an ant - it's nice, it's crawling up my arm!"

Five minutes later ... Me to Aaron

"Aaron what exactly are you doing in there?"

Aaron to Me

"I'm putting the ant in the fridge Mummy, so it can eat some food, cause it's hungry!!"

I am just left shaking my head!!
