Playing dinosaurs

Madi, Avery, and I (Ryan) were playing dinosaurs the other day and chasing each other around the house.

Madi stopped and said, "Okay, now I'm a T-Rex."

I said, "Ok. I'll be a Triceratops."

Avery smiled and said, "I'll be a bum-bum."

Red Bead

The girls were playing outside and I had just given them a Popsicle and was heading back in the house, when Madisen said, "Wait mom! I have something for you."

Me: "You do?"

Madisen: "Yeah, it's in my jacket pocket." She pulls out a little red bead. "Look, my friend Emma from school had lots of beads and she gave this one. I told her my mom likes the color red so I will give it to her."

Me: "Oh thanks Madi! That was very sweet of you."

Avery Eve

Three different conversations today I had with Avery:

Avery: What you doing mom?

Me: Going to the bathroom.

Avery: Oh, you better hurry, so you don't pee your pants!

Me: Ok. Thanks for the tip. ;)


_________

Avery: I love you mommy.

Me: I love you too, Avery.

Avery: I love you the mostest, mostest! (gives me a big hug around the neck).

Me: Awww... I love you the mostest, mostest, mostest!

________

Avery: Ah, watch out! You have a spider on your eye!

Me: LOL! No, Avery. That is just make-up. It's called mascara and it makes my eyelashes long and black.

We were getting ready to walk out the door and I asked Avery, where's your coat?
Avery said, "It's up high... in the air! It's high so I can't reach it."

Apparently Carnivores aren't Animals...

We were playing animal Charades the other night and half way through the game Madi gets up and does a horse impression and Ryan guesses it right. So whoever guesses it right gets up and takes a turn being an animal. Well by that point we had already gone through 20 or more animals so Ryan started acting out a T-Rex. Madi jumps up and says, "Dad...you can't be a T-Rex! That's a carnivore!"
