Out of the mouths of babes...

Some of the funny things the kids have said recently...

Noah & Josiah are walking towards the compost pile, Josiah wants to play in it.
Noah says: I don't want to play in it, it's poop!

Josiah: Laughing at the idea that Noah thinks compost is poop..."Hey Mom! Is compost poop?"

Mom: doesn't answer right away, she is thinking on how to respond.

Dad: Steps in an answers before mom. Dad says: "Yes, compost has some poop in it"

Noah: Feeling victory that he was right.

Josiah: Completely grossed out that we are putting poop in the garden!

A couple minutes pass and Josiah walks up to me in the garden and says "Mom, why are we putting poop in the garden, we eat the food from the garden?"

Last night we had a beautiful day and decided to eat dinner outside on the back patio. We are eating dinner and Noah decides to tell us the birth order of all the kids, he says Austin was born first, then me, then Siah, then Alanah, then Kaianah.

Noah: Did we really all come out of your tummy Mom?

Mom: Yes, you all really came out of my tummy! (mom thinking, I have the stretch marks to prove it)

Josiah: You ate all of us?!?

Noah: We are all so big, how did we fit?

Dad: You were much smaller than you are now, you've grown since you were in mom's tummy.

Mom & Dad: We turned Josiah's comment into a joke and said that Mom was reallllly hungry and that's why she ate all of the kids. We have explained since that Mom didn't eat the kids.

Josiah & Mom are gathering chicken eggs a couple days ago. We are walking and talking and having a nice time just the two of us. I open the chicken box and hand the eggs to Josiah to put the eggs in the basket.

Josiah: Mom, do the chickens poop the eggs out of there bottoms? How do the eggs get in the chicken?

Mom: Great question Josiah, let's ask dad when he gets home! :)

Mom is getting ready for the day, I'm in the bathroom brushing my hair, & putting on makeup. Alanah comes in and wants to do what I'm doing.

Alanah: Mama, I need stick-stick. (stick-stick is chapstick or lipstick)

Mom: No, not right now.

Alanah: "Mama, I princess, I need stick-stick! I pretty."

Mom thinking: Oh, wow...she is such a girly girl. What's this going to be like in 10 years?? I'm scared. :)
