Is That An Echo I Hear?

Many times when I'm cleaning the house and everyone else is sitting around watching tv, I ask why no one is helping. If you want to know my exact words, listen to what Etni said today.

Etni was vacuuming up crumbs from our living room rug. She stopped, looked at me, and said, "Why am I the only one cleaning?"

She will be the death of me.

I Should Be Proud?

Our baby, Katie was chewing on an extension cord, as usual. I pulled it out of her mouth and said, "Katie, you're going to die!"

Etni then said in a baby voice, "Yay, I'm going to die so I can live with Jesus again!"

I suppose I should be happy she understands where we go after we die? Haha!

Baby Store?

Etni walked up to me while I was holding my 9 month old baby. She had my purse on her shoulder and said, "Hello, excuse me, but I'd like to buy your baby."

She picked up the baby, walked over the couch and said to her herself, "Oh, you had a baby in your tummy?" "No, I got her at the baby store."

One Car Ride- Many Unforgettable Quotes (from a 5 year old)

I have the bad habit of popping my own neck. I saw Etni trying to mimic me once and I had to say something drastic enough to scare her away from ever attempting it again. Apparently, I was successful, but now I need to take my own advice...according to Etni.

"Moooom. Don't do that. You will break your head off."

This next quote gave me all the motivation I needed to start working out since giving birth 3 weeks ago!

"Mom, why are your arms so fat?"

------------

We were traveling back to Canada from Washington and I told Etni she couldn't have ice cream until we got to Kalispell, Montana. After asking us a very serious question, my husband and I couldn't help but laugh and laugh and laugh...

"Are we in Hannah Montana, yet?"

-------------

While driving up the Chief Mountain Highway to get to the Montana/Canada border crossing, we told Etni to make sure she had her seat belt on because the road is very "windy," and in her defense, that word does sound a lot like "whiny."

Me:  "Etni, put your seat belt on. This road gets really windy."
Etni:  "Whiny? Oh, like a baby!"
Me:  "No, windy."
Etni:  "Yeah, like a baby!"

After dropping off my husband at his work cabin, I was heading to the car to make the 1 hour and 15 min drive home at 10:30pm. I was exhausted so I told my husband I would just slap my face the whole time I was driving to stay awake. Etni's response was very matter of fact. If only you could hear the tone she used when saying it! She knows everything, you know...

"Uhh, mom, you have glasses. You can't slap your face or you will smash your glasses and break them."

Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog! I recently went on a trip to Washington with my husband and our two daughters. While driving home, my daughter said so many funny things that I figured I better write them down! Instead of posting every single funny line on Facebook, I thought I'd start a blog to keep track of all the "interesting" things that come out of our kids' mouths! Hope you get a little chuckle out of the posts along with me! :)
