Spring Break Reflections

So, we are at the movies this weeek during spring break, and the kids were ordering their snacks. Mere' said, "I want Milk Buds." The others start to correct her and I reminded them, everyone has said adorable things that I hate to see come to an end. When they stop saying cute things, it's usually because they are all grown up!!

Some of my favorite things that Tara says are, "I want a happy meal with a hangaberg." Or, "Can you make us some Pockporn to eat with our movie?" And the ever favorite, "pupcakes and icecream."

Tommy gets tired, and says, "I'm poofed." Or when frustrated, "Oh Varn it!!"

Nicole used to say, "bathing soup" when we'd go swimming. But she's grown up now :(

Bella tells me the other day that she has to be in her seat belt so the cops won't stop us and put her in jail "for life." She's 3. Not sure where she learned that, but it works!!

Alot of the things Nelly says crack us up. There are so many, we call them Nellyisms. Sometimes its the words she says, but mostly it's the way she says them.

Tyler came to us at 9 years old, so we missed out on alot of his funny sayings. But he has a great sense of humor and can make us laugh with his goofing off. He has a great singing voice, but doesn't know it. He can memorize any song after the first time he hears it, and he often sings things to be funny. Some day that will all be part of our family history too, and I will miss it.

It's fun to hear the grandsons talk now too. Kaid can be so funny when he's trying to get his mom to understand something he wants to say. "Mom, listen, you don't understand!" Too cute - and his brother Keegan, he jabbers all the time, and I don't catch alot of it, but one thing I love more than any of their words is, "I lub you gwamma."

The kids grow up way too fast, and this week of spring break gave me a bit of time to reflect on all their cute ways. But it will be nice when the bus comes in the morning and we can get back to our normal routines!!
