Christmas cookies and conversations

We were here decorating Christmas cookies which is just funny for a variety of reasons.
Sutton just put a clump of frosting on them and then was done and wanted the next one.
Laina tried to make them look nice but she just isn't quite coordinated yet, but loved doing it anyway. And would change it or smear it or whatever to make it look however she wanted it to.
But the things that they said were the best.

Mom: What color [of frosting] do you want?
Either child: I want blue paint.
Mom: It's frosting.

Another one:
Sutton: Why we painting these?
Mom: Because they taste better with FROSTING on them. Don't you think?
Sutton: Yes.
 And then we had that same conversation at least 2 more times - enough to have Laina ask, "Why does he keep saying that?"

And last but not least:
Sutton:Why we bringin' them to Igwana?
Mom: Because we're having a Christmas party at AWana.
Sutton: Dad's not comin'.
Me: Yes he is, goofy.
Sutton: But not the animals.
Me: No, not the animals.
Laina: What animals?
Sutton: Not the lions cuz they're mean.
Laina: And they won't fit.
Sutton: No, they not fit
And I'm just sitting smiling to myself, wondering what in the world animals he's talking about.

Laina's first post (with Mom's help)

I decided since Laina loves taking pictures, we should start her own string of blogs so she can share them.

These are the first ones that we're sharing. The ants that were in our house this August until we sprayed. :) She thought that they were so neat and picture worthy. This is what she had to say about them:

"They were crawling around and trying to get our food!"

These ones are of "Hoohoo Baby" lovingly named by her cousins Tanner and Sawyer (renamed Lydia by Laina later, but Hoohoo Baby is sticking better than Lydia. hehe

"That's Hoohoo Baby dancing! I'm making her dance with my feet."

 

 I made those a little smaller to keep from being creepy.

Some of pictures of people that she's taken.

Rehmee, Mark's cousin - last year at Christmas

Me - also last year (when she got her camera)

Mark one of many really nice pictures. haha

Hallie (Mark's cousin's daughter). She and Laina were learning to take pictures together when Laina got her camera.

Jacob, the child I used to have for daycare. We miss him LOTS!

 

Um....Mark

Jacob

Jack, my nephew

Me on the phone, unaware I was getting my picture taken

Jack, again

Bodie

Sutton, in a daze I think. :)

.......

Bodie, Bodester, Bodmeister.

I think her next post will probably be some of her favorite pictures. :)

The Conversation

Just wanted to let you know the conversation lately between Laina and Sutton and then I get involved. It generally goes like this:

Sutton: "This is a falling airplane." (as he's playing with an airplane made from the wrapper of the piece of gum he's "chewing" - ate)
Laina: "Why?"
Sutton: "Why, what?"
Laina: "Why?"
Sutton: "Why, what?"
Laina: "WHY, SUTTON!?"
Sutton: "WHY, WHAT!?"
Mom: "What is going on?"
Laina: "Sutton said that that's a falling airplane." (pointing at the plane)
Mom: "Sutton, you said that it's a falling airplane and Laina was asking why."
Sutton: "I talking to Laina.(looks at Laina) Why?"
Mom: "No, Sutton, you told Laina that it's a falling airplane so she's asking you why you said that it's a falling airplane."
Sutton: "No, I talking to Laina!"
(Meanwhile, Laina's just sitting there smiling and giggling as frustrated as I am.)
Mom: "Sut, why is it a falling airplane?"
Sutton: "I don't know. (Pausing for thought) It's not a falling airplane."
Laina: "Sut, if it's fast it's a jet."

hahahahaha why do I try to figure out the minds of a 4 and almost 3 year old.
