Random Child Thoughts

I've got a few things that Britlyn and Makenna have said recently running around in my head and I want to get them down before I forget them.


Britlyn: "Mommy, what kind of an animal would a unicorn look like if it didn't have it's horn?"

Me: "A horse."

Britlyn: "No. A bloody horse."

I busted up laughing so hard!


To preface this next one, Makenna had been coloring on her legs with a pen and had ink on them. She was now trying to wash it off.

Makenna: "Mommy, I got all the ink off."

Me: "Oh yeah? Great baby."

Makenna: "Yeah, there's just a tiny bit left. People will probably just think it's guts."

Now, may I ask, how on earth is it better to have guts rather than ink on your legs??? Once again, I just busted up laughing.


Last one

Jeremy: "Makenna, how come you never obey Mommy, and you never obey Alyson (our babysitter), but you almost always obey Daddy?"

Makenna: "Because they don't know how to spank hard and you do."

So that's all it takes, huh? Of course how could I not laugh at that? So I did. I just looked at Jeremy and we both just burst out laughing.

Soccer Mom

I've officially become a soccer mom. :) We signed Britlyn up for soccer a while back and now they are a few games into their season. She is on a team they named Rainbow Sprinkles. That is sure to intimidate the opponent! :) I have to admit, it is about the cutest thing to watch them play. Britlyn is so funny because she doesn't really even know how to run. Her running more resembles leaping or prancing. She's a bit timid when it comes to going after the ball, but she gets more confident each game. Unfortunately there was a mistake and her team was put in a division with girls a year older than them, so they have yet to win a game. They play their little hearts out though! We should have signed Makenna up too, she is just itching to play. She just ends up running races with who ever is subbed out over on the sidelines. We've got a family activity now every Saturday for the next few months! It's great.
