Allyson is at a funny stage of like. Here is a cute story Todd told me today. He was in his office and I had gone to pick Jill up from dance. Ally came in and hugged him and said she really wanted her mommy(she misses me a lot these days even if I leave just for a minute). She asked if he would read her a book and he said "Sure, hop up on my lap and I'll read it to you." Then she brought him another one, of course, and he read that one too. She asked if he would read another one and he said "Well, I am kind of busy right now, so...." She laid down on the floor with her book and after a little bit she said "Daddy, what's busy?" He told her that he was working on the computer for his job so it would be hard to do that and read a book at the same time. She said, "So, busy means you can't read me a story?" Well, he ended up reading that story too! There will be no "Cats in the cradle and the Silver spoon" around here!!
Jordan was looking for his blanket and Ally said "Oh, does he want his BIU one?" (BYU)
Jillian is a very observant child. In school they learn about making connections from the things they read to things in their world. She has aparently really taken the connection thing to heart. In preschool we made some indian headbands and Allyson's was lying on the floor. Jillian said "Mom, I have a connection with that. We made headbands in school and ....." I love how she actually uses the word connection!
One day I was really giving it to Jill, maybe a little over the top because she said "Mom, you are going all harsh on me!"
We were cleaning up Jill and Ally's dissaster of a room and I said something about it being out of control. Jill responded "Things are getting off handy around here" I love how she tries to use our saying and messes them up!

Those are such cute stories. I remember Todd getting all teary when "Cat in the Cradle and the Silver Spoon" would come on the radio at Security Todd. I really hate that song too. IT is so depressing. I can't wait to see everyone soon. Not sure if I am coming at the end of the month or not. Maybe since Mom is shampooing with toothpaste and cleaner these days. I probably shouldn't make her travel to visit us.
Those funny cuties. I love that you write this down. I always love looking in the book that has all our our funnies in it. Someday they'll look at the blog a laugh. I never realize how old they're all getting until we visit. I think I'll be shocked at Christmas.
That's awesome. I love the messed up sayings. I was just thinking about what Em said. I used to write down the funnies in a book, but now they're in the blog! Well, that's better than nothing! I should probably put tags on kidisms so I can look them up later.
Cute girls! I love those funny moments because they make us stop and refocus and maybe chuckle a little. They seem to happen mostly when I am mad!
your kids are the funniest. They are going to grow up to be the coolest kids in town! IN TOWN!
Oh man, Lili's comments always crack me up. Anyway, those girls are just so clever and silly. I love seeing them at least three days a week!
cute- we should do that w/ the things Landon says- because they are cute and I don't want to forget them- very cute post.
So cute. I'm cracking up at "Off Handy." I'm totally using that.
Your kids are in my top 1.
