Having a crazy day? Hang in there!

On my cranky days, I really should remember to read through the little book of the girls' quotes that I keep. It never fails to put a smile on my face.

I'll let you in on a few:

Mommy: Don't you girls want to go outside? It's gorgeous out there!
Kardelen: It's about six-thirty-below outside there, Bia!


Kardelen, peering in the oven at the bread baking: I smell the sound of cheesy bread!


Outside with her friend Lynnea, riding my old Strawberry Shortcake trike: This bike needs a seatbelt!


Mommy: Kardelen, what are you thankful for?
Kardelen: Band-aids and lollies!


Kardelen: Mom, Bia's got a big pufftail in her hair. [Kardelen was making it stick up in the air.]
Then later: Mom, I want Bia to have a pufftail in her hair, but she keeps melting it away!


Kardelen: I'm counting.
Mommy: You're counting what?
Kardelen: I'm counting yace.
Mommy: Yace?! What's that?
Kardelen: It's something you shake, and eat, and love!


Kardelen, looking at Sofia: Look! It's my jellybean!
Mommy: Bia is your jellybean?
Kardelen: Yes, because Bia is the jelliest sister in the whole world!


Daddy: Kardelen and Sofia, do you want to go to a zoo sometime?
Kardelen: I want to go to Kalamazoo!


Kardelen, walking away from Sofia in the living room: Don't talk to strangers! I'll be right back!


Mommy, looking at the girls eating ice cream: I think these girls are gonna need a bath.
Kardelen: Maybe we need to be hosed down!
