Victory!

I don't have photo proof.....
Today I managed to get Elizabeth to eat five blueberries and three baby carrots. Granted, the carrots were dipped in ranch dressing, still neither food is tan, brown, or white!!

Patrick and Sissy Say the Darndest Things!

8/24/12 We were out to dinner at a Meixcan restaurant and Patrick was talking about his football game the next day. In the spirit of the atmosphere he was talling us how he was going to "Salsa into the sack tomorrow." Since Brian and I were chuckling, he kept saying it over and over.
7/1/12 We were waiting for lunch at Blarney Stone and Liz says, "Wait! This is a bar?!?" then fist pumps the air and says "Yes, my first bar!".
12/16/11 When Mommy was warning Elizabeth that if she didn't behave herself Santa would bring her a stocking full of coal, Patrick piped up, "Well, you could build with the rocks, or write with them, or make a cabinet, or play with them."
12/16/11 While driving to Toys-r-Us to get a toy for his birthday, Patrick said, out of the blue, "It would be ok if I didn't get any presents for Christmas because I have you guys."
12/9/11 Patrick and Elizabeth both wanted a bag of Teddy Grahams as a snack. Patrick was in the cabinet getting them out and proclaimed he wanted chocolate. So did Liz. There was only one chocolate. Being the big brother that he is, he tried to convince her that she wanted something else by reading the packages and making suggestions like, "Honey or Chinamoon" (cinnamon).
7/14/11 Instead of hoola-hooping, Elizabeth hoop-a-loops.
7/12/11 I returned from grocery shopping and told the kids I bought them Cookies-n-cream ice cream. Liz replied, "Just like in my cheerleaders hand!" (She has a cheerleading doll that does five cheers, one when you squeeze each hand and foot and one in the tummy. One goes "Cookies, cookies, cookies and cream, what's the matter with the other team" when you squeeze her one hand.)
7/1/11 Patrick to the concession lady at the movies - "No butter on the popcorn. My Dad went to the doctor and they said he can't hvae butter."
6/17/11 (Elizabeth says the best stuff......she is definitely making up for delayed talking) Liz turned to me at Patrick's kindergarten moving up ceremony and said, "MOM! Oh no! I forgot my pom pom's!"
5/19/11 Driving down the turnpike towards our house we have been passing a farmers unplanted field, full of yellow dandelions. The dandelions have turned to puff balls, a whole field of them. As we pass, Elizabeth yells, "Mommy! Look! A whole field of wishes!"
10/15/10 Patrick out grew a pair of slippers that look like skunks, so he gave them to Liz. She was walking funny in them this morning, turning her heals towards me as she walked, so I asked her what was the matter. She replied, "Mommy, I spraying you with tomato juice."
10/1/10 Patrick and I were discussing what was going to happen during the day at school before leaving the house. I said something to which Pat replied, "I see what you are saying, Mom."
9/30/10 At Open House at Patrick's school, his teachers were sharing with us that Patrick is a great role model for the other students. He has been heard telling his kindergarten friends to "make good choices."
9/2/10 If there is a toy, on tv or in the store, that Elizabeth likes she will always ask us "I get this for my birthday?" As it stands right now, I think she is due 543 gifts for her birthday.
9/1/10 Elizabeth LOVES the movie Monsters vs. Aliens. Her favorite two lines, which she often repeats, are "You got a better idea nerd?" and "Where's the giant jar of pickles?" It is pretty funny to hear her repeat them in her nasally little voice.
8/26/10 After defeating a hard guy in a Wii game, Patrick turned to me and said, "I am pretty awesome at a lot of things."
7/24/10 The cutest thing ever.......Patrick to Liz at 8:30 a.m. "Sissy, would you like to go in the living room and read this book (Anamalia) with me?"
2/25/10 When Elizabeth is really upset with someone, mostly Patrick, she will tell them "You're impossible"
10/5/09 Elizabeth will tap her fingers on her lips and say, "Hmmm, let me see" when you ask her just about anything.
10/5/09 Patrick to Mom. "Some girls are beautiful and it just freaks me out."
7/28/09 Patrick to Mom at dinner. "Mom, can I have more teeter totters?" (Tater Tots)
7/28/09 Patrick to Mom who was holding baby Davis. "Mom, Davis is so cute. SHE is cuter than Sissy." Well Pat, Davis is a boy. Pat thinks. "Does he have a penis yet?"
7/18/09 Patrick to Mom and Dad on our drive home from Maine - "Are we still in New Hampster?"
6/17/09 Patrick to Mom.....my existential child......"Mom, how does Spiderman climb buildings?" Well, Pat, he really doesn't it....it is just pretend. "Mom, is Spidermen real?" No. "Is Larry from Night at the Museum real?" No. "Mom, is Ice Age real?" No. "Mom, are we real?" Yes Pat. "How do you know we are real?" I didn't know where to go with that other than I just know.
4/24/09 Patrick to Sara "I am very allergic to girls!"
3/11/09 At a function at Mommy's school there were lots of adults who were asking Elizabeth her name. She replys with Dora!...not Elizabeth.
3/3/09 Pat to Daddy...."Daddy, you know the store Whale-mon?? It has whale shirts, whale jammies, whale breakables, whale clothes, whale movies, whale toys, even a whale hanging from the ceiling." His description was a little "Bubbaesk", as in Bubba from Forest Gump. Can you tell we are into ocean animals and just got a new whale toy??
2/26/09 Elizabeth will randomly be a witch. She says "Witch" and then swirls her finger around and around and then points at something (putting a spell on it). Sometimes her spell is followed by a "Ahahahahah"!
2/26/2009 It is no mystery Elizabeth loves Dora. Her way of saying Dora is to shake her shoulders back and forth (kind of like a booby shake, if she had them) and say Dah-dah-dah.
2/2/09 Patrick bought a toy plastic cow at Target. Upon getting in the car he asked me, "Mommy, a cow drinks milk and then it comes out its (pointing) one, two, three, four penises??"
1/09 Patrick. "Mom, Dad....did God make everything?? The sky? The trees? Even Home Depot?"
12/27 Sissy. When you mention the zoo she says, "ZOO! " then roars and makes monkey sounds and motions
12/20 Pat to Mom. "Mom, God and Jesus are Santa's cousins, right?"
12/1 Daddy, when I sleep I dream about playing with you.
10/31 To Sissy, anything Halloween is "Ghost"
9/29 Sissy has a new word. "MINE!"
9/28 Pat and Mom.....Pat, get on the school bus. "But mom! I'm not five yet!"
9/15 Pat to Mom....."I don't want to go to Sara's (the babysitter)." Why. "Because." Because why? "Because I don't want to have fun."
