Kids say the funniest things

I have a few funny things to share that the girls have said over the last few days. I will post a longer update over the weekend when I have more time (end of year craziness going on at school)!

Here are Emma's:
Emma saw our neighbour mowing the lawn the other day and said "hey mom, dat guy vaccuming de gwass!" We were at the park and she was running along the rocks that are along the perimeter of the park. I said "why don't you go on the slide, or the climber?" and she said "no sanks, I need to do my exercises!" At the same park trip, I was pushing her on the swing and she said "daddy do it higher, you need to do it like dad." I said "I am not as strong as dad, I am doing my best." A few days later we were at the swings again and I guess she liked how high I pushed her because she said "dat's it mama, you getting stronger like dad!" And finally, Maddie was upstairs with me and Emma was hanging with John. John said "let's go find Maddie" and Emma called for her by saying "Maddie sweetheart." John said she sounded exactly like me, as that is how I call for them.

Here are Maddie's: Halfway through an ice cream sandwhich (which she takes eons to finish) we decided she needed to go to a walk-in as she had a very high fever. When she came back, she said "hi mummy, where my sammich?" I couldn't figure out what she meant and then she finally said "where my brown one sammich wif white inside?" and then I had to explain that it was in mummy's tummy! Oops! Last night I was alone with the girls and it was time for a bath. I said "ok girls, time for your bath" and Maddie said "no, never!" I eventually lured her in with the promise of lot's of bubbles!

Kids Say the Cutest Things

We were in the car today driving to Canada's Wonderland and Emma said "mom, grandpa is your dad?" and I said that yes, he was. Then she said "and John is my dad?" Yep. And Maddie chimed in with "and I'm your daughter." Right again. And on and on with "and aunt Sue is your sister and Maddie is my sister and you are my mummy?" yep, yep and yep. Then I say "and your dad is my husband" to which Maddie screams "no, dat my dad." "Yes Maddie, he is your dad, but he is also my husband." "NOOOOOOOOO!" Sigh, ok, I decided not to go any further with that conversation. Then Emma says "we all four princesses and we a family, we a team!" Good to know John is part of the princess family! Cute.

Wonderland was loads of fun and the kids had a blast. Maddie was just tall enough this year (thanks to some hair sticking up on the top of her head). Last year Emma was tall enough for most of the kiddie rides but Maddie wasn't tall enough and that was hard. We went on this kiddie roller coaster that was scarier than I thought. Emma loved it (she loves rides) but at the end of the ride Maddie had both hands spread out at each side, palms down (picture an umpire doing the "safe" sign) and she said "I don't want that anymore!" Then she wanted to go on these airplanes, that just the kids go on, no adults. Fine. As she is strapped in and as the ride is starting she screams "mom, I don't want dis anymore" to which John and I say "um, well, you'll have fun" as there wasn't much to be done at that point. There were chuckles from the other parents waiting behind the gate every time Maddie would pass us (the planes went around in the air in a circle) because she was yelling l "I don't want dis, I don't want dis"! I felt badly for her but at the same time it was hysterically funny. So, next is the swings, which again, is kids riding alone. She insisted on going on them even though I warned her that she doesn't like swings (hates them at the park). Same scenario, and at the end she was practically falling out of it (still strapped in though) as she was trying to get out. Poor Maddie! But, she loved the rest of the rides and had a great time. Emma is a ride junkie. She loves them and wants everything to go higher and faster. We will definately be going again. It was a great family outing.
