Mom: "Do you want PB&J for lunch?
Grace: "Yes."
Mom: "Crunchy of creamy PB?"
Grace: "Creamy....without mustard, please!"
Jacob: "Hey, Mom, how 'bout we make a new rule. No drinking and closing your eyes while you walk up the steps. OR you will fall and break your head open." He's destined to be a safety officer; he's obsessed w/ people falling and breaking their heads open. Talks about it constantly...
Mom: "Finish your applesauce. It's good for you."
Grace: "Is applesauce good for Jesus, too?"
Mom: "If He were here, his would be gone already."
Jacob's thoughts on growing up: "The first round is learning to tie your shoes, then buttoning your own shirt, and then climbing mountains!"
Mom to Harrison, who was trying to put on Grace's wedding dress...
Mom: "Harrison, you can't wear dresses!"
Grace: "Yah, you're too little for dresses!"
Grace: "Harrison, can you get down?"
[Harrison screams loudly]
Jacob: "You can take that as a NO!"
Grace: "I like vanilla cheese sticks!"--apparently anything WHITE is vanilla :)
Grace: "Jacob gave me a headache right here [pointing to exact spot on her head] and now it hurts!"
Jacob, after Grace opened her birthday cards: "Grace is almost rich! Once you get $10, you are really rich!"
Grace: "Aunt Mel has a short house. I wish someday she could have a long house." Mel lives in a cool apartment, but apparently Grace wants more for her. :)
Mom while eating fudge cake for Jacob's birthday: "I wanna marry this frosting!"
Grace: "Haha, you can't marry frosting!"
Mom: "Why not?"
Grace: "Because it's a FOOD frosting, not a marry frosting."
Grace: "Mom, you're the bad ugly monster, ok?" then turning to her Barbies and screaming, "Be very afraid of the ugly monster!!!"
Mom: "What'cha thinking about?"
Grace: "I don't know what I'm thinking about...except Walter!"
Jacob, rolling his eyes: "How about she just FORGETS about Walter?"
While I was whistling one day...
Grace to Mom: "Why are you waffling?"
Mom: "I'm not waffling. I'm whistling."
Grace: "No, you're waffling and that freaks people out, you know."
Grace holding a huge stack of picture books: "Mom, you should get these kind of books for me b/c I can really read them." Ummm, you already have a whole bunch. You're holding them!
After seeing a beautiful sunrise...
Mom: : "Jesus put your favorite colors in the sky, Grace. Pink and purple!"
Jacob pouting: "Why doesn't he care about my favorite colors, like black?"
Mom: "You get a black sky every single night, my son."
Jacob grinning sheepishly: "Oh yah..."
Grace: "Tape is magic! I wanted it to rip, and it ripped. It's magic! Isn't that cool?"
Grace to Aunt Mel as she was brushing her hair: "The air in your room messed up my hair."
After we read a book about the moon, instead of thinking it was cool, the kids were nervous about being astronauts after they learned they had to wear those big suits and oxygen tanks in order to breathe. I explained that only people who WANT to go to space become astronauts, that no one is forced to go, but they were still nervous. And then said their bedtime prayers...
Grace: "Help Jesus not to send me to the moon!"
Jacob: "Help me not to be sent up in space without asking, where I might die."
So much for learning about the moon!!!
Jacob to Aunt Mel as they left the art museum after a brief tour...
Aunt Mel: "Did you have a good time?"
Jacob: "Yes, but it was also boring." So honest!
Random medical update from Grace: "Guys, I want to tell you something. When you eat a lot of food, you get sick and die."
