Word of the Day

In reference to something being VERY funny.

Ashlyn: Momma, that is SOOOO Hysterious!

I believe that is a combination of "Hilarious" and "Hysterical."

In French

Ashlyn had a friend playing over at the house.

Friend: Ashlyn, can I play with your baby dolls?
A: nuh-uh!
Friend: I'm going to tell your momma.....Mrs. Andreaaaaaa!
A; Waaaaait! It's in French! "Nuh-uh" is French for "Yes!"

Such a clever way to get out of trouble. :)

Grace

A: can I watch a show now?
M: now ashlyn, I told you that because you were disrespectful, that you would not be watching anything else tonight.
A: mom?
M: yes, ashlyn?
A: can you give me one of those grace things?
M: grace things?
A: yea, you know how you teach me about Jesus' grace: "getting something I don't deserve?"
M: yes.
A: well I was thinking you could give me one of those grace things and let me watch a show even though I don't deserve it.

Noah's Brick Boat

While I was laying down with Ashlyn tonight, and getting ready to pray, she reminded me that we had not yet read a bible story.

A - Momma, you could read the story of Noah. Cause that's what I learned about this morning at church.
M - Yeah, the story of Noah is a good one.
A - You know the people laughed at Noah and told him, "Ha ha, it has never rained!"
M - That's right.
A - You know momma, God can give you anything you need. Like He could give them the wood they needed to build the ark. And He could give them the bricks too.
M - I don't know that they used bricks, baby.
A - Well, God can give you anything you need. He could have given them bricks. In fact, (pointing up to the ceiling and gesturing down to herself) if I asked God for a pink polka dotted ceiling fan, He could like just send it down from the air to my room right now.

Missing backpack

Ashlyn couldn't find her backpack.....here is what she said to me:

A - Momma, it really disturbs me that I can't locate my backpack!

Disturbs?!? Locates?!? This kid cracks me up!

Scrambled vocabulary

M - Ashlyn, do you want eggs for breakfast?

(Ashlyn comes running into the kitchen SUPER excited)

A - YES! And Momma, can I PLEASE help you hatch the eggs?!?!


Haha...we may need to review some vocabulary before school begins ;)

Mother's Day Attire

A - What are you going to wear tomorrow?
M - Well, Ashlyn, I really haven't thought about it.
A - I think you should wear your wedding dress!
M - My wedding dress?! Why?
A - Momma! Tomorrow is Mother's day and I thought you would want to wear something really special!

Eager Anticipation

A - Mommy...when are we going to die?
M - Well Ashlyn, only Jesus knows the number of our days here. Why do you ask?
A - I am just really ready to go to Heaven and live with Jesus.
M - Oh me too, baby.
A - You wouldn't have to cry if I died.
M - Why is that?
A - Because you would see me again in Heaven.
M - Oh Ashlyn, you are making me cry right now!
A - I wouldn't have to cry either if you died, cause I know I would see you in Heaven! And don't worry Mommy...I would take care of Addelyn-Kate for you.

Do you have the same eager heart? Are you ready to see your Jesus? My sweet 3 year old can definitely lay conviction on her Momma's heart!

2nd Rate

Ashlyn and Addelyn-Kate were wearing matching outfits (obviously purchased from the same location). Aunt Emily asked her where they had gotten their outfits.

A - Well, Momma bought Addelyn-Kate's at the store...but she just got mine at a garage sale.

You think she is feeling 2nd rate or deprived in some way? My silly little girl :)

Mixed-Up colors

While in a public girls bathroom, Ashlyn makes an important observation!

A - Well Momma, this is awkward.
M - What is that, Ashlyn?
A - You see how this room is painted blue?
M - Yea....?
A - Don't you see? We are in a GIRLS bathroom.
M - Well you're right. I guess it is strange that the room is blue.
A- Momma?
M- Yes, baby?
A - You suppose they painted the boy's bathroom pink?

Strange Person

(We are at the Dr. to get off A's cast. The room we were in had a skeleton in it)

A- Mom. I really wish they wouldn't have put us in this room. That person over there is really scaring me!

Encouragement?

(Talking to her baby sister)

A - Honey, you’re not big enough to climb the stairs. I know you want to be a grown up, but you’re just not there yet. You are still a baby.
