Short Stories and Tall Tales: My Mess Maker

My Mess Maker

I made this page really quickly today - thanks to Word art by Bethany. The kit I used is Simplement Mesokee by Monique and the stitched stars are Ellie Lash. I spent too much time today looking up freebies, and I am taking an online photoshop class too. It's not the best layout, but it works, and it was quick.

What Halle Said

Halle: Mommy, when I grow up, I'm gonna make stuff.

Me: What do you want to make?

Halle : (puts fingers on chin) Um.... wet me fink about it...

Oh! I know! Pea soup. And when you grow down, you're not gonna make stuff anymore.

Halle: Mommy, you know what I'm gonna dream about tonight?

Me: What?

Halle: I'll talk about it in the morning. It's going to be a surprise!

Halle: Mommy, you know what I dreamed about last night? I had a (cue really sweet soft voice and rocking actions) wittle tiny baby, and I rocked him to sleep at night. (cue scary loud voice) And then he waked up, and a dinosaur came, and ate him!

Hayden: I want a little baby duck. And she could be my duck, and I could hold her, and love her, and take care of her because she is my little baby.

Halle: But Hayden! When I was a little baby, you dropped me!

(and I completely busted up because it's true!)

Me: Do you like our family?

Halle: Yes.

Me: Do you like our house?

Halle: Yes. We need to clean it.

Me: Do you like your life?

Halle: Yes.

Me: What's a life?

Halle: I don't know. (thinking...) Oh! You're a wife! And Daddy's a husband, and Hayden and Owen are sunbeams!

( I really loved that whole conversation)

Halle: Someone said no to me today at nursery.

Me: Oh, was it your teacher or another kid?

Halle: 'Nother kid. I was sad. And he didn't even give me a hug or a kiss!

Hayden: Oh! It's raining today!

They opened the blinds and looked outside.

Halle: Oh, we are so bored today!

Thank you, Cat in the Hat. :)

Me: Today is Halloween. What do we do on Halloween?

Halle: Um, we watch out for dinosaurs!

Halle: Mommy, when you get done, I will give you a big hug! And a kiss!

Me: Oh good! I can't wait!

Halle: But you HAVE to wait Mommy!

What Hayden Said

2-2012

We've been teaching the kids about electricity and how it's important not to stick fingers or things into the outlets. I had to laugh a little when poor Hayden came to me with a sad face and said, "Mommy, I touched the outlights. Am I going to die?" It was actually the cable outlet that he had been touching. :)

2-2012

After telling Hayden multiple times to get his shoes so we could leave, we threatened to leave him behind if he didn't get ready.

Hayden: NO! You can't leave me! If you leave me home, I will go get into all your stuff!

10-17-11

Hayden was trying to open a can of root beer.

Hayden: I can't do it! It's locked!

8-14-11

Derrick: Tell mommy about the lights you saw in Gunnison. (he's talking about the prison)

Hayden: Oh, what's his name? ... Oh! It's prison! When the people make bad choices they have to go there. And they lock them up in a box! And they have to stay there all day!

August 2011

Hayden: I'm so glad baby Owen is here now.

Me: Me too! We waited a long time for him to get here.

Hayden: Yes. You did a really good job getting him out mom. That was hard work. Let me give you a high five!
