Funnies

The girls have said a few funny things I want to remember.


Omar to Elena giving her instructions in the shower : scrub your underarms

E to O: those aren't underarms those are undershoulders, these (pointing to the under part of her arm) are underarms.

Elena has been reading a lot of environmental print lately. At mother's day brunch she read some print on the glass from inside the restaurant like this Ahhh-Zip and Ahht-SAP. She laughed and laughed saying those were funny words. We explained that they looked backwards from the inside and that we would go look at the words (in the right direction)after we finished eating. She then read them and discovered they said Pizza and Pasta. Of course since she loves pasta she insisted we return for dinner sometime since she had pancakes this time.

And something very sweet of Elena-- all last week she couldn't wait for Friday when she would get to bring home my Mother's day plant home from school. Friday morning she woke up sick with a cough and a fever and the first thing she said when we let her know she would be staying home was that she wanted to go to school because she needed to give me my mother's day plant. She was so upset that we made the special trip to the school to pick it up later. Aren't these the moments we mothers live for!??

Marisa

One hot afternoon we were desperate to find something to do out of the house but still indoors. We took the girls to the movies and Rango was the only cartoon showing. It was okay but I wouldn't recommend it for little kids, it's probably better geared for older ones. If you don't know, Rango is a chameleon. Marisa asked during the movie, "Daddy, What's her (referring to Rango) name, what's her name? Is it GEICO?" We thought this was hilarious although I really don't know how many times she could have possibly seen a GEICO commercial. We don't watch a ton on TV and if she does it's kids stuff and they wouldn't show a GEICO commercial during kids shows right? I guess the gecko must've been really memorable to her.

At dinner she was counting and for some reason began counting like this, " thirty, thirty-one, 30-eyes, 30-nose, 30-ear. We started cracking up and then she began adding every body part to the number 30.

And Karina

She obviously isn't saying anything so I'll just give a little update. She's almost giggling and I have heard her laugh once. The older girls are always funny to Karina and she opens her mouth wide in that baby smile way and kinda shrieks simultaneously. She is now exploring the sound of her voice and makes kind of a ruckus with those shriek sounding sounds.

And this is unrelated but I don't want to forget and want Karina to know that Heavenly day is her Birth Day song from me. It's just a perfect description of that day. :)
