Kid Cuteness, March 25, 2015

Overheard, Luke talking to Sis: "You're the best Zoey in the whole wide world. You're my best friend."

One of Zo's favorite phrases at the moment is, "Sure." Like we'll ask, "Would you like a sandwich for lunch?" and she'll say, "Sure."  "Would you like to bring a stuffie in the car?" "Sure." Would you like bubbles in your bath?" "Sure." Etc. It's pretty cute. 

Zo at Buca di Beppo, looking a replica of the Statue of David: "That's a statue of a penis!"

Grammy drew Zo a picture of her family, and she said, "Oh, my family! I love my family!" She's been sleeping with the picture, too.

Kids and I have been playing "Crusher," which is a game my Dad played with us where you tackle the person and pin them to the ground. They laugh like crazy...love getting those laughs

Zo, after the wetness of her bedtime kisses went away: "My kisses went away! I need some more!." And, putting her hand to her cheek after I kiss her: "I hold onto your kisses."

Zo having a tantrum before bath: "I want princess bubbles and my Daddy!!!!"

Luke: "I will be so happy to see my Daddy!"

Luke: "I wish we could put our house on wheels and take it with us, but it is stuck to the ground really hard."

Me: "It's a full moon tonight."

Luke: "What's it full of?"

Zo: "I want a cupcake with a cookie on it for my birthday."

Dad: "You want a cupcake with a cookie on it for your birthday?"

Zo: "Yes, Dad, that's a plan!!!"

Luke to me, exasperated: "How many times to I have to tell you not to tell me to do stuff!"

Kids, bouncing on Zo's bed: "Happy not your birthday to you Luke!" "Happy not your birthday to you, Zoey!"

Me, talking to Zoey about her being sad about selling the house: "Our world is really upside-down, isn't it?" 

Zo: "Yes. I want to walk on the ceiling."

Me: "Awww...because then your world would be right-side-up?"

Zo: "Yes."

Luke, knocking on my office door: "Mommy! Grandma wants to know if you want salad for dinner?"

Me: "Yes, please. Will you come get me when dinner is ready?"

Luke: "OK, I will come get you and tell you to go to the kitchen. But you'd better listen...if you don't listen, there will be no treat!"

Zo, a few days after I had taught the kids about flipping a coin, looking at a nickel: "If it's heads, we do what I want. If it's ladders, it's what Bubs wants."

XOXO
