The Things They Say...

Noelle goes walking by dressed as a ballerina, complete with a tutu that sticks out.  She looks at me as she walks by and says: "I'm going hunting".  To which I ask: "Are you going to wear that?"  Noelle: "Of Course!"

At the zoo this morning (in the monkey cage): 
Noelle: "Mom! I saw the girl monkey!"Me: "Oh, How fun! But how did you know it was a girl?"Noelle: "Because she was wearing a necklace mom!"

Oliver: "Frogs"
Me: "No. We don't eat frogs for breakfast"
Oliver: "Wanna eat Crocodiles!" 
Me (giggling): "You want to eat crocodiles for breakfast?"
Oliver: "YeP!"

Me: "Melanie, go clear your plate, honey"
Melanie: "Mom, you can do it and call it service"
Me: "Melanie, go clear your plate"
Melanie: "But service is good mom. you can serve me."
Me: "Melanie, go clear your plate"
Melanie: "fine, but you are missing out on blessings"


Oliver (every time we drive through the neighborhood during the month of October): "Ahhh!!! There's a spider on it!" (There were a lot of houses in our neighborhood with giant spiders on them.

Me: "Oliver, what do you want for breakfast"

Melanie (after watching Peter Pan): "Before he had the hook, did they call him Captain Hand?"

Me: "Melanie, what did you learn at church today"
Melanie: "We talked about Moroni"
Me: "What did you learn about him?"
Melanie: "He was pretty awesome."
