A New Kendallism

It's been awhile since I last reported a Kendallism.  It's not because she's not saying funny, quick-witted comments.  It's because I've been slacking in recording them.

Tonight she was getting into the tv console where we store the dvd player, cable box, Wii, etc.  Here is our conversation:

Me:  Kendall, what are you doing?
K:  Nothing that you need to know!

Little does she know, I'm on to her game!  I know I'm going to have to watch this little one VERY closely as she grows up.  She's already mastered the art of manipulation and thinks nothing of telling a little white lie to get out of doing the stuff she doesn't like to do (like brushing her teeth).  Ugh...

Rain Rain Go Away!

It's been raining hard - like cats and dogs hard since I picked the kids up from school today.  On the way to gymnastics tonight in the middle of the monsoon, Kendall asked why God is making it flood if he promised to never flood the earth again.  Love her perspective and that she immediately pulled up a reference to the Bible.  I had to explain to her that God won't ever flood the entire earth again, but he never promised not to flood parts of it at a time. :) 

The beaches area is a mess to say the least.  There is flooding all up and down 3rd/A1A.  Andy took the other north/south route to get to the gym tonight and it took him 30 minutes to drive 3+ miles.  He said a number of homes were flooded.  CRAZY!
  

Kendallism

One night Kendall got out of bed shortly after I tucked her in.  She told us that something in her bed felt like Daddy's whiskers.  That stumped both of us so I sent Andy in to check it out.  Kendall showed him the spot in her bed where she felt the "whiskers."  Andy reached down to discover a bed full of SAND!  So glad there weren't any whiskers in her bed!  Gotta love beach living!

Pazagna Kendallism

Today's Kendallism:

Over the summer we joked about Garfield trying to sneak into the house anytime we ate "pazagna." I told her we were having pazagna tonight and we would need to be on the look out for Garfield. 

Her response: Mom, Garfield doesn't eat gluten free pazagna!

That girl keeps me in stitches even when she's got the flu!

Kendallism

Today's latest addition:


"Look Mom!  Their house is on sale too!"

I guess she listens when I tell her I won't buy something unless it's on sale!

Latest Kendallism

Kendall and I went to Gardner Village on Tuesday for the witch scavenger hunt.  One of the witches we needed to find was riding on her broom backwards.  She was suspended in the air by a cable.  When Kendall found this one, her reaction was: 

"Look Mom!  She's zip lining!" 

Gosh I love that girl!

See, it does look like she's zip lining!

Hanging out with the witches

Slinking Eggs

Kendalism:

Yesterday I made her scrambled eggs for breakfast. She decided she didn't like eggs anymore. Since she requested them, I told her she needed to eat them. 

When her plate went missing from the table I asked where it went...her response:

Hmm (scratching her temple)...let me think...I think they may have slinked over to the pantry.

Sure enough. There was the plate of eggs in the pantry! Who knew eggs could slink? 

(And yes, she did have to eat them after we rescued them from the pantry.)

Another Kendallism

The Latest Kendallism:

As I'm driving and taking a sip of water, Kendall says 

"Oh Momma, you better be careful, you're drinking and driving!"

As I start to chuckle, she adds 

"You don't want to get put in jail, do you?"

The Girl Is On A Roll!

Here's another good Kendallism!

We went for a bike ride this past weekend.  Kendall was on her tag-along bike attached to the back of mine.  We rode by a farm with some horses.  

Kendall:  "Look at the pretty horses Momma!"  

Me:  "They sure are pretty."

Kendall:  "Hey Mom, why don't those horses have any eyes?"

Me: Start laughing hysterically

The horses were wearing shades to protect their eyes and in her little mind, they didn't have any eyes because she couldn't see them!  

Family Comedian

She's on a roll Ladies and Gentleman! 

Latest Kendallism:

After hearing Kendall leave a noisy fart...

Me: "Kendall! Was that you?"

K: "No mom, it was Penton!"

Me: "Nice try, Penton is outside."

K: "Then it must have been the ants!"

(We have a few ants that we are trying to evict from our kitchen)

Yet Another Kendallism - She's On A Roll

Tonight while Andy was out mowing the yard she asked me:

"Mom, is Dad shaving the yard?"

Seriously?  Where does she come up with this stuff?  Now you understand why I always say God gave her to me to make me laugh!  What a nut!

A Rileyism?

Riley doesn't usually say the funny type of stuff that Kendall says.  His comments are usually on the deeper more serious side.  Last night was their "Back to School" family picnic.  They have bounce houses, hot dogs, chips, rice krispie treats, sno cones, lemonade, etc. as well as great fellowship with all the other families.  It's an opportunity to catch up with those you haven't seen all summer.

Last night Riley wanted to get a sno cone.  He asked if Andy would go with him to get one.  Andy willingly obliged.  On their way across the grounds to the sno cone machine, Riley says, "Dad, I wanted you to come with me so that everyone will know you're here with me and not traveling."

See, he's our deep thinker.  He comes up with some sweet things to let you know how much you mean to him.

Here are our munchkins ready to start their first day back at school:

 Here's Riley hard at work after putting his stuff away on the first day!

Both kids reported having a great first day of school!

Latest Kendallisms

K:  "Mom, can I have a snack?"
M: "No, it's almost time for dinner."
K:  "But Mom!  I have a tape worm!  It's soooo hungry!"

As she's carrying around the book "Little Women"...
K:  "Mom, this book is great!  Gregor is in it and he's fighting the bad guys.  Pufnstuf is in it too and he's so funny!"
(Riley is currently in book 4 of the Overlander series by Suzanne Collins and the main character is named Gregor.  Pufnstuf is from the late 60's tv series that we rented on DVD from the library this week)

K:  "Look Mom!  They have corn on the cob plants in their garden!"

K:  "Man!  We can't find any geocashes because of all the poisonous ivy!"

This girl cracks me up on a daily basis.  Thought I'd share a few of them with you.  Hope it makes you smile!

Yet Another Kendallism

Today at the gym, she and her friend Faith played with "hula hoopies!"
