Family Dinner

Last night, Morgan was so excited to have a family dinner. Admittedly, we are "eat on the fly" kind of people, so we never really sit down to eat together. But Morgan has been asking to go out to dinner together, and, according to her, if we can't do that, well then.....we are gonna have a family dinner at home!

Sydney decided it would be a good idea to sleep on my tiger. A whole new twist on "let sleeping dogs lie"

 It was a yummy, funny, loving evening!

Avery's Quotes of the Day...Hilarious.

I've started keeping track of the funny things that this kid says on my "notes" app on my phone. Which usually means that she says these things when I'm driving. So I have to "talk to text" the whole thing. Here are my interpretations and recollections of the funny shit she says. I'll have to start doing this more. She's not going to believe me when she's older!

We were on our way home from the gym. Morgan and I were in full blown conversation about Morgan wanting to be a cop on horseback in the city so she can catch the bad guys where cars can't go. Avery butts in,

Morgan! Mommy! Guys! I want to be a pretend FROG when I grow up but just PRETEND like in a costume!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me and Morgan: HUH????

Avery: I want to be a FROG COP!

Morgan: You can't be a frog cop Avery...

Avery: Waaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaaa! Morgan! You bein' mean!

Me: Morgan, just tell her that she can be whatever she wants to be.

Avery: Morgan hurt my feelings. I'm very very sad.

Morgan: Fine, Avery, you can be whatever you want to be.

Me: That's right, Avery! If you can dream it, you can be it! You just have to practice real hard!

Avery: (Crying....sort of faking) Now I'm crying because I'm too noisy! And I want to be a frog cop so BADLY! Do I look happy or sad? Morgan hurt my heart very badly.

Me: Ugh.




Next? We were talking about where frogs hide - under rocks, under lily pads....Avery even said under the algae! Then she said this:

Avery: MOMMY!!!!!!!! Did you know that frogs can hide in PINEAPPLES?!?!?!



Here is a smattering of other random Avery statements from tonight:

Mommy, I don't like big houses.
Chickens are very feathery.
When I'm a big girl I'm gonna ride a big black truck. (Dan was in the car for this one....it could have gone down a whole different road! I suggest watching "The Island of Misnamed Toys" on youtube ).
Guess what, guys?!?!?! It's my BIRTHDAY today!
You're making me sad again. I just stopped crying.
I don't care about you guys.
Morgan! You're hurting my heart.

And finally, as we were getting out of the car, she told me...and I'm not making this shit up:

"Mommy, I'm gonna kill you".

She got in trouble for that one. We asked her, "What did you say?" and she freaked out and said, "Nothing! I didn't say anything!" and she cried and put herself in the corner, Blair Witch style:


Help.
