Mac and Oak funnies...

So for some reason I forgot about recording these on here! But here are all the funny things my kids have said over the last year. The top is the most recent and bottom is from a year ago.

3.5 hours into a 4.5 hour drive. 
Mac: Can we play the quiet game?
Me: Well...ok I guess so. 
Kids: Yay!!!
Parenting win!
Oak 4 / Mac 1

We were playing a game and Oak's turn did not go so well and then she says, "This is not how Batman dies!" I have never heard her quote this before, but knew it was from the Lego movie. So funny!

Mac as he was trying to get me and grandma out the door: "m-o-m and old m-o-m let's go!"

A conversation with Oaklee about arguing after talking to my mom: 
Oak: you are not supposed to argue. Moms and daughters don't argue. 
Me: but you argue with me. 
Oak: but if the mom is also a grandma then you can't argue. 
Me: oh got it.
Oak: you always break the law.
Me: no I don't. If I did I would be in jail.
Oak: well the rule is no arguing and you TEND to do that.

Oaklee climbed into my bed one morning. A few minutes later...
Oak: I can't go back to sleep because of the air. 
Me: the air? What's wrong with the air?
Oak: it's too loud.

A Mac random: "Mom I think that I would never want to play video games or play on the computer ever again if we lived in the forest, by a river, in a tent so that I could just fish all day with Dad." Oh that would be the life bud!

Oaklee noticed the bag of chocolate on my nightstand. 
Oak: What are these for?
Me: Daddy knew that I had a rough day yesterday and he knows that I love chocolate so to be nice he got me those.
Oak: So now I can tell my husband what to buy me when I have a rough day.

Mac was quizzing us. Mac: "What is the name of the magician that is death?" Translation: What is the name of the musician that is deaf? Lol, cute!

Me: I'm going to lose my mind.
Oak: And pull your hair out?
Me: Pretty much.

Mac about to eat his 6th "little cutie" says, "Mom, I'm about to break the world record for how many cuties a six year old can eat. 

Oak to daddy: "Dad I need you to do me a favor...I need you to play the piano wihle I play the guitar."

Mac comes into my bed and starts playing a little play guitar, "This is a song about a boy being friends with a zombie." No words, just music, with an occasional interpretation of "This is the part where..."

Oak funny: she got some new fingerless gloves as a gift. "I never thought I would get gloves like these...then BAM!! I got some!"

Oak to Mac: "Isn't it cool I can do talented things?...Shake your head yes. "

Oak funny: the kids were talking about how they were going to take the train with grandma and grandpa back to their house. And Oak says, "yeah dad, maybe we will send you a card!"

Oak quote as we walked into the craft store: "I think they saw my beautifulness so they turned this music on."

Mac and Daddy went golfing.
Mac: Is golfing a sport?
Dad: yep
Mac: Dad, I think I found my sport.

Oaklee: I want to be a princess for Halloween.
Me: Do you want to be Elsa? You already have an Elsa dress you could wear.
Oak: Yeah! But could you KNIT me ice powers?
Me: What?! How am I supposed to knit you ice powers?
Oak: Actually I'll just be a ghost.

I told the kids to go clean up their mess before they made a new one. 
Overheard this conversation while on their way to clean up...
Oak: Let's go play!
Mac: We need to clean up then we can play.
Oak: Let's clean and play...you clean and I'll play!


Oak 6:50 am, dressed as Spider-Man ...
Me: you are so cute. 
Oak: Spider-Man is not cute!...well he was when he was a baby.

My kids were upstairs cleaning their rooms. All of a sudden I hear Mac yell down to me that "Oak is coming downstairs to tell you how much she loves me and thinks I am the best big brother ever!" Then I hear Oak stomping down the stairs and she yells, "NO I'M NOT! Mac threw something at me and hurt me". 

Oak prayed one morning that "everyone will listen to their moms." 

Checking out at Home Depot...
Mac: I scanned my hand!
Me: how much are you worth?
Mac: your love (then gives me a big hug)
I needed to hear that after a rough day with him yesterday.

Mac quote (mad at me for receiving a consequence for a poor choice): "you sure know how to make a boy sad!"

Text from my mom: "Oak just said to me...I WISH MY MOM WAS HERE...SHE CAN DO ANYTHING." Totally made my day!

Oak asked grandma to draw a unicorn.
Oak: that's not a unicorn!
Mac: she's doing the best she can!

My kids five minutes before dinner: "I'm starving! Can I have a snack?"
(No snack given) 
My kids at dinner after zero bites of food eaten: "I'm too full to eat!"

Mac and Oak were playing. Mac: "You scared the wits out of me! THE WITS ARE SCARED!"

Oak funny: Oak was brushing my hair and she was looking at all my gray hair and says, "You have frozen in your hair!" Yes, yes I do!

Oak funny: I did her hair this morning and asked if she liked it. She looked in the mirror and said she did. So ten hours later she was playing with her hair then all of a sudden she starts glaring at me and I could tell she was mad. I asked what was wrong and she says, "You didn't do my hair the way I wanted!" Lol

Mac and Oak were playing the piano. 
Oak: "McCoy you be the grinch and play over there."(Pointing to the other end of the piano). 
Mac: (starts playing on Oaks end)
Oak: "No, your the grinch and play over there." 
Mac: "Well the grinch does go down into your town." 
He's got a point! His logic lately kills me!

Thank you Frozen for the cute moment in the craft store today where I listened to my daughter belt out "Let it go!" at the top of her lungs, and for the numerous times a day where she also tells me she doesn't need to wear her coat because, "The cold doesn't bother me anyway!" 

Last night we were looking through a brand new house an acquaintance built. When I was snuggling with Mac at bedtime he says very seriously, "Mom, I want to talk to you about something...you know that house that we looked at?...If we buy that house, I am worried about buying ice cream and it melting because there wasn't a freezer." Oh to be six and be worried about something like that.

Funnies!

It has been awhile since I have entertained you all with the funny things my kids say. 

So here you go! 

Oak:

 Overheard...Oak (talking to her brother): "This is the part where I get mad!"

A discussion between Oak and I about doing her hair...

Oak: I want one piggie.
Me: I think we should do two piggies, they look so cute on you.
Oak: No I want one piggie.
Me: You had one piggie yesterday, can we do two today?
Oak: I don't like two piggies because you smile at me a lot when I have two piggies.
Me: haha, I guess I do because you are so darn cute.

 was less than patient with my two year old when we couldn't find her shoes before we needed to leave to run errands. When we were driving in the car while running errands we had this conversation: 

Oak: Mom, you were being rude when we were at home trying to find my shoes.
Me: You are right, I was not being very patient and kind, was I? I am sorry.
Oak: You just need to calm down and breath. Okay mom?
Me: You are absolutely right, thank you for reminding mommy.

We were not home and Oak was mad at me about something and she says, "When I get home, I am going to go to my room and slam my door!!!" That is one way to express how angry you are. Thankfully by the time we got home she was pretty happy and forgot about the door slamming.

Mac:

On our way to In-N-Out...McCoy: "Mom, where is Open-N-Closed at?"

Last day of Preschool ever!

Mac quotes of the day:
#1 Oak was asking a question...
Mac: I would like it if you didn't bother me right now because I just graduated from Preschool.
#2 Showing Grandma his certificate...
Mac: This means I know everything!
Oh this boy! Love him!

Obviously I haven't been that great at writing them down! Need to do better!

A little bit about our Oak...

 Oak is in a stage I think a lot of kids, probably mostly girls, go through. I knew it would happen eventually with her. She likes to changes her clothes...A LOT! On average she goes through about three outfits a day. At least one of those outfits is her ballerina clothes, and another would be a skirt of some sort. Sometimes she has such an urge, like this morning, that she gets down in the middle of breakfast to go find something else to wear. I feel like my laundry load has doubled all of a sudden and there are clothes strewn about the house constantly. Most of the time I just go with the flow and let her change as much as she wants, but someways it just wears on me. But mostly I am just grateful I have this beautiful little girl in my life and I get to watch her go through all of these cute and typical girl stages.

She also has a favorite sweater that she has to be wearing at all times. Awake and asleep. She calls it her "cozy sweater" because, as she says, "It's SO comfortable." She has to show and tell everyone about it.

She is starting to learn her letters. She recognizes about ten letters correctly (A, B, W, T, F, L, O, S, V, M are the ones I can think of). She can write the letter A, although it is usually upside down.

She can quote movies really well. She will just randomly blurt them out through out the day. The other day she had gone potty and hadn't put her underwear on yet but was up at the sink washing her hands. As she was playing around in the sink and trying to wash her hands, she started shaking her little bare bum and started yelling, 'BEST DAY EVER!" from Tangled.

She can do the whole potty thing pretty much on her own, with out much help. Although, playing in the sink and making a huge mess when she should be washing her hands has been a bit of a problem.

She talks REALLY well!

Big words I have heard her use recently: comfortable, disappointed, respectful.

Phrases she uses that crack me up: "You betcha!" and "Sure is!"

She doesn't say her R's very well and words like "more" sounds like "maww".

She has a great memory and remembers everything.

Funnies:

Grandma Wilma was staying the night and Oak kept on asking her (as if she was worried that she wouldn't stay) if she was staying the night. Daddy was taking Oak to bed and asked him if Grandma was staying the night and he said yes. Then she said, "Don't let her leave, okay?" We were cracking up!

Oak woke up in the morning and I went to get her. She asked if Grandma was still at our house (because she had stayed the night). She then said, "Mom, don't let me forget, I have a presentation for her, but I need to color it." A little while later I was getting stuff out for her to color her "presentation" and told her she could color it now, and she said, "Not right now mom."

I went to get her out of bed one morning and she said to me, "Mommy, my nose isn't working!!" and then said she couldn't smell anything. So cute!

funnies and sweeties

Mac was upset at Oak because he wanted to hold her ladybug, hence the face.

funnies:

Oak: Mac can we fight the bad guys? Cause they tickled my baby!

I told her that my stomach hurts...

Oak: Mom if your stomach hurts, you should go lay down.

Oak: I'm a great jumper!

Mom: You are! How did you get to be such a great jumper?

Oak: Because I'm beautiful.

Hubs had put on The Mormon Channel on our ROKU and pulled up the scripture reader for kids where it shows just pictures and narrates them. When breakfast was ready Mac asked if we could watch it during breakfast, I told him we couldn't and reminded him of our rule of no tv while eating meals (except on Friday and/or Saturday). He got really mad (lately he feels that rules don't apply to him anymore) and said, "I guess you don't want me to learn the Gospel!!" Kind of hard to argue with that :) Actually I still didn't let him because I explained to him why we don't watch tv while we are eating and that I really wanted to talk with him. He wasn't buying it.

The kids hate when hubs and I kiss. And one night when I was putting Mac to bed he told me I could kiss him and Oak all I wanted but I couldn't kiss dad, but could just give him high fives. He was dead serious!!

We were eating at my in-laws house and the missionaries were over for dinner also. Oak was really wanting to talk to the missionaries and for them to pay more attention to her. So she got there attention and said, "Elders, do you know what?...My mom....my mom is cute!"

Oak got a new pair of crocks since she has outgrown her old ones. Every time she would put them in the first couple of days having them she would say, "These aren't just any crocks...these are girl shoes."

Mac woke me up at a little after 6 am with "I need you mom, I have a special occasion for you." I was already awake and was thinking he was going to surprise me with something special since he has kind of been doing little sweet surprises for us lately, so I got up. I then found him in the bathroom where he announces he has diarrhea and he had an accident in his underwear. At first I was thinking that he still had a surprise for me, but after talking with him, I found out I was wrong and me helping him get cleaned up WAS the special occasion. Luckiest mama in the world, right here!!

We were playing outside and my kids were fighting over who got to hold Bobo's leash (our neighbor's dog). At one point Oak was holding the leash and Mac was pretending to be scared or something and ran away from Oak and Bobo. Oak then shouted to Mac, "It's just Bobo, not a monster". She said it in a tone of "are you blind?!?!"

Sweet Moments:

Hubs decided he wanted to give the kids "Father's blessings". Oak was very excited about it, and sat on the chair perfectly still, arms, folded, head bowed, and eyes closed for the whole blessing. Then she stood up and daddy went to give her a hug, and she stuck out her hand to shake daddy's hand instead. Then she just walked away with a big smile on her face. It was so precious and sweet!

Oak had asked me about where the trees came from. I explained to her that Heavenly Father made them, and mentioned a few other things that He also made. Then Mac walked up to Oak and said he wanted to tell her something. He put his hand on her shoulder and got really close to her and gently said, "Oak, Heavenly Father made YOU." Talk about tugging at my mommy heart strings.

One night after I had put Oak to bed (and daddy was at a church meeting), I asked Mac if he wanted to play a game before he went to bed. He chose a game, and I asked him if when we were done with that game if we could play Sequence Jr. (my favorite game). He said that was fine and when we were done with his game he went and got Go Fish instead. I reminded him that he said it was okay if we played Sequence, and that I really wanted to play Sequence. He got all pouty, and I decided to let it go (which I am trying to do more off) and told him that we could play Go Fish, and told him that it wasn't because he was pouting, but because I love him. And I meant that. He got kind of serious and then kind of mumbled to himself that he had a hard decision to make. And sat there for a bit, then got up, put the Go Fish game back and got the Sequence game out instead. I was a bit shocked and so proud of him for putting someone before himself and his wants. I talked to him about how proud I was of him, and how proud Heavenly Father was of him for making such a selfless choice. And I told him that I really was okay with playing Go Fish, if that is what he really wanted to play. 

Mac: "brownies, cookies, cakes and  muffins...I love you more than all of those things mommy!"

funnies

Mac: "I can be a book writer (illustrator). See, I figured out how to make it look like two ghosts are bumping into each other." Smarty pants!

Oak had said something cute...
Mommy: you are just so adorable!
Oak: just don't call me cute!

Oak has her special bear that she has to have to suck her thumb. She has to hold the ear of the bear with her thumb sucking hand while she sucks her thumb. We only let her have it in her bed for sleeping. When I went to get her out of bed one morning and I asked her if she wanted to get up. In talking about sucking her thumb with her bear, She says, " I have just a little more left, I need to get this one part." and then she went back to sucking her thumb.

Mac: I can't wait to have kids!
Me: really? How come?
Mac: because I can do fun things with them..... But there is one thing I don't want to talk about until I am seven or six.
Me: what is that?
Mac: getting married!

Oak has become Mac's second mom...After Mac burped at dinner one night, "Mac, no burping at the dinner table."...and then after Mac handed me something and I said thank you, "Mac you need to say you're welcome." She is quite the firecracker!

Mac explaining to Oak why she couldn't go on the bumper cars at the mall: "I am five, you are two...five is like five dollars and two is like two nickels...do you get it?...(oak doesn't say anything)...fine, I will explain it to you later!"

Mommy (to both Oak and Mac): When this show is over we are getting dressed.
Oak (to Mac): No crying or whining okay?

Mac was really upset one day because I wouldn't let him make and give out birthday invitations for his 6th birthday party in 11 months. Silly boy, love him!

Mac: Mom, I had a dream about what you and daddy do.
Mom: What would that be?
Mac: You were kissing...it was HORRIBLE!

cuties/funnies

Above picture: I asked Mac to go get dressed so we could go run errands. He came out looking like this and because big brother was wearing his skeleton pajamas/costume, Oak had to wear hers too. Wasn't in the mood to put up a fight, so I got to run errands with these cute little skeletons. They got a ton of smiles from everyone! I know it totally made my day.

My kids were playing dress up and Oak was in her princess dress-up walking around the house bowing saying "Thank you, thank you!" over and over. At the same time Mac was in his room trying to decide whether or not to put his spider man costume on or his knight costume. Last minute he decides the knight costume and says, "What is a princess without her knight?!" 

We were talking to the Elders and Oak was telling them how old she was and when her birthday was. One of the Elders got excited and said they had the same birthday so he asked Oak for a fist bump (or "pound" as we call them). She wouldn't do it and left him hanging so I gave him the fist bump instead. Oak looks at me with a mad face and says, "hey, you took my pound!!"

Oak had gotten hurt...
Mama: Where's your owie at?
Oak: (Whimpering and sad) My pinky toe...now I can't go 'we we we all the way home'.

In talking about getting bigger and growing up, Mac says, "I don't feel like I am five, I don't feel like I got bigger, I still feel like I am four." (he wasn't saying it with a bad attitude at all, just as a fact.). And then when he was opening his presents the morning of his birthday from us and his birth mother, Oak started to cry because she didn't have a present to open so he gave her one of his presents to open so she wouldn't be sad.

When we got home one day from running errands the mail man was in our driveway delivering some packages. One was from Mac's birth mother. I told Mac that we got a package from C and he says, "That's my birth mom! I am so excited I got a package from my birth mom!!" Super duper LOVE open adoption!

 Oak was wearing a hat of grandpa's that looked like a cowboy hat. She was going around the house walking funny and saying in a deep voice, "I'm a cowboy!" Then she walks up to her daddy and says in a deep voice, "Cowboy, can I have a drink of water?!"

Oak has spent all morning carrying around baby Jesus and Mary from our Little People Nativity. 
Me: Oak, where is baby Jesus and Mary?
Oak: In the oven.
Thankfully it was just her play kitchen oven.

Daddy was drinking something and Oak wanted some, but it was right before she was to go to bed.
Oak: Daddy can I have a little bit?
Daddy: No you can't.
Oak: Just a little bit??
Daddy: Nope.
Oak: Can I have a big, big, BIG bit???
Daddy: (laughing) You can't have a big bit either.

cute and funny...

It has been awhile it seems since I have done a funnies post. I haven't been that great at keeping track of all the funny things my kids do and say, but let me tell you there is no shortage in our house. Love my babies!!

Mac:  My parents are needing some help with some things and my mom was being stubborn about me helping her so I was firmly scolding her about it. And Mac breaks into the conversation saying, "Don't talk to her like that, you are not Grandma's Mom!" My mom and I were hysterical, lol!

Oak: we were walking down a large, long, empty hall at the hospital. Mac was running ahead of us and Oak was right next to me yelling "Mac walk please! Mac walk PLEASE!" Then a man was walking toward us and Oak says politely to him "Excuse me sir." as she walks by him.

Oak: She takes something off my dresser and looks at me and says, "I am taking this...don't say no!" Love her!

Mac: We were talking to him about how awesome it is that he has a mom AND a birth mom. And he says, "Do you know what else is awesome about me?...I have red hair!" ...DEFINITELY!!

Mac: He wrote out his name and then put a dot at the end..."Mom, look Mac dot com!"

Oak: "Mama, you are beautiful!!"
Me: "Thank you Oak, you are so beautiful too!"
Oak: "You are pretty cute."
Me: Thank you, I think you are pretty cute too."
Oak: "Mama, you are AWESOME!!"
Me: "Wow! Thank you Oak! I think YOU are so awesome!"
Oak: "I so proud of you Mama!"
Me: "I am so proud of you big girl!"

Oak: I was giving Mac my normal little pep talk as he was leaving for Preschool, "Be a good listener, follow directions, be a good friend and be a good example." Oak on her own adds in, "Don't say the S word at Preschool." (The S word in our house is the word stupid). 

Mac: He will randomly ask questions about us adopting another baby and it is just too sweet. Today he asked me when we get another baby if he can hold it. I told him yes and he said, "You mean our baby will be small enough for me to hold?!" He was so excited! He also has announced that we will name our next baby Junior Asparagus

McCoy: He was told to eat three bites of his dinner before he could be done. He says, "If I liked it, I would eat the whole thing!" I guess he has a point... 

Things Oak at two!

She had her 2 year check up:

Weight: 32 lbs (95th percentile)

Height: 36 in (95th percentile)

Head: 20 in (off the chart)

She didn't have to get any shots because her appt was one day short of the six month mark in between her needed Hep shot. I will take her in next week to get it real quick.

About Oak...

Some words she has recently added to her vocabulary and uses regularly and correctly and it makes me laugh everytime because she is just too young: "maybe", "though", "forgot"

she is really into changing her clothes constantly. I find several pairs of clean and dirty pants throughout the house each day. She also really loves to put socks on.

She wants to get dressed herself. She knows she can't do it sometimes and whines for help and you try to help her then she freaks out because she wants to do it herself and it goes back and forth until the new clothes item is finally on and she is happy until she wants to change them again.

she is a food stealer and really much rather eat the food on someone elses plate. We have gotten her to eat numerous times by sneaking her food onto our plate and telling her not to eat our food.

she is quite the mess maker in every aspect of her cute little self. If she is eating she either makes a mess on purpose or on accident, if she is playing she dumps out anything she can find to dump out, if she wants to change her clothes everything in her drawers is dumped and there will be discarded clothes throughout the house.

She has quite the temper sometimes and has thrown little fits when she doesn't get her way. We have also started time outs with her.

She is very smart and remembers everything.

She is a very busy girl and does not hold still ever.

She can count to 15.

Her hair is getting longer and I have been having fun doing it in something other than a piggies.

She loves her big brother. Every time he gets done with Taekwondo she runs to him and gives him a big hug and tells him, "I so proud of you!" in the cutest high pitched voice.

She hits, pulls hair, bites and scratches her brother alot!

We hear "I do it!!" alot!

She talks non stop, especially in the car. She hardly ever sleeps in the car, so you are in for it when you take her anywhere in the car. She asks question after question and you have to repeat and acknowledge everything she says or she repeats it. It actually drives me crazy sometimes, but is cute too.

She has started asking "Why?" alot...already. I thought that didn't happen until about three.

She pretty much talks in complete sentences.

She loves to help clean or do chores around the house.

She mimics EVERYTHING her brother does, especially if it is something I would prefer children no do, like potty talk and garbage words.

Filling out the 24 month questioneer from the doctor, I was able to mark that she could do everything on the list.

Some funnies from her lately:

She was at the fridge playing with her Leap Frog magnetic letters. She all of a sudden realized they weren't straight in order ( I put them in alphabetical order to make sure I have them all.) and scattered all over the fridge. She started yelling, "Acoy NO! NO!...all messies! NO! NO! Acoy! All messies!!" Then she went into Mac and starts yelling the same thing to him and then wanders back to the fridge and starts straightening the magnets. Hubs and I were dying laughing and thought it was hilarious that she was blaming Mac for something.

Mac just got home after being gone for two night with Daddy. And Oak was so excited that she kept on licking Mac's head. Mac thought it was hilarious!

As i was telling Oak to not stand on the couch, she looks at me very serious and says, "Mom, it's FINE I stand on the couch!" Umm excuse me?! What a firecracker! ♥

Oak and Mac funnies

It looks like Oak is going to beat out Mac in the funny department on this post. And I added some pics of the two of them together just for fun.

In their new swim suits getting ready to play in the sprinklers.

Watching a movie. They both watched more than half of a movie in the laundry baskets before they got out.

They were just lounging together on the deck.

Drying off after playing in the sprinklers.

One of our many dance parties.

Oak

I just sneezed and Oak yells from the other room, "Are you okay Mama?" 

Oak (to Daddy): Daddy work?
Daddy: yes.
Oak: Noooooooo....PLAY!
(Oak is finally joining in on the "please stay home daddy" campaign every morning.)

 She just came up and grabbed the back pockets of my pants and said, "Shake your bum, mommy, shake your bum!" 

Oak talks really well, but she has quite a few words that all sound the same to me but are different words to her. I forget this sometimes when I am trying to play the guessing game of figuring out what she is saying. She will literally repeat the word until YOU figure out what she is talking about. How she says "truck" and "snack" sound the same, it kindof sounds like "snuck"...
Oak: snuck
Mommy: truck?
Oak: no, snuck
Mommy: truck?
Oak: no, snuck!
Mommy: I am sorry Oak, I don't understand. What a about a truck?
Oak: NO, CRACKER!!! (in a very exasperated, and "you are so stupid" kindof way)

An Oak conversation that made us laugh:
Oak: Daddy drink (she saw him drinking a soda)
Daddy: No, you can drink your water.
Oak: No, I don't like it...put it back.
(a few minutes pass)
Oak:Daddy drink
Daddy: It's all gone.
Oak: WHAT?! I see!

My kids went to church with my parents one Sunday so that Hubs and I could go to our Stake Conference. While the sacrament was being passed (the quietest part of church) Oak belted out the entire alphabet song. So now my parents entire ward knows how smart she is. hahaha!

I said the opening prayer in sacrament meeting and when I went and sat back down Oak looked at me and said in such a happy voice, “I PROUD OF YOU!”

Getting her out of her crib one morning she handed me her water bottle and said, "Milk, no water, JUST milk."

Mac

He asked for a cupcake (not something we normally have in our house) and I told him no. He responds with "Are you kidding me!?!? I have been so good today!" 

In discussing with Mac that he has the same middle name as his Daddy..."Daddy we have the same name so we are bruthas!" (I don't really know how to spell that, he was saying brothers, but with a gangster accent) lol

I told him he was so adorable and he matter of factly said, “But I am not a baby!” I guess only babies can be told they are adorable.

Mac and Oak funnies!

(mac was pretending to be a robot and he had buttons on his arm that made him do certain things. So daddy got the markers out and colored in buttons for him and then Oak needed to be in on the fun. They played with those buttons on their arms all morning.)

Oak has definitely joined in on the funnies lately. So here you go...


OAK...


 Blowing bubbles and Oak chasing them saying, "hey, back here!!"


 I put her on the toilet this morning and told her to go pee pee (no we are not potty training her yet, just getting her comfortable). After a minute she says, "not working!" That made me laugh so she started laughing and said, "I silly!!"


 During church today every time she would tell me she wanted a snack/cookie she would imitate "whispering in someones ear" except that she would put her mouth right on my mouth (like a kiss) and say "i want a cookie". It made me laugh everytime because I knew what she was trying to do.


 We were building with mega blocks. And she destroyed the little building we made and she says " Ah man!! I lost it!" lol


I just sneezed and Oak yells from the other room, "Are you okay Mama?"




MAC...


 *he was looking at a book about sharks, he showed me one of the pictures and I asked if it was shark (it didn't really look like one from the distance I was at) and Mac says "it's a shark mom, It's a SHARK book."


 * Mac was asked to clean up his Lincoln Logs and then his room before he could watch a movie. As he was cleaning up his Lincoln Logs he ended up playing with them again and was being creative and having fun so I didn't bug him about getting them cleaned up and just let him play (much rather him do that than watch a movie). A little while later he comes to me and says, "Mom, you lied (not sure that is the word he meant) to me and just let me play instead of getting my toys and room cleaned up!" So I guess he was mad that his movie was delayed because I let him play instead of clean up. Go figure!!


  *"Mommy, I love you. When I get bigger I want to marry you." Melt me! Love that boy of mine.


 *he was looking at a book about sharks, he showed me one of the pictures and I asked if it was shark (it didn't really look like one from the distance I was at) and Mac says "it's a shark mom, It's a SHARK book.".


*Oak took something away from Mac...
(all of this said in a kind, gentle voice)
Mac: Oak, you go sit on the couch in time out...(He leads her to the couch and she sits).
Mac: Do we hit?
Oak: no
Mac: Does hitting hurt people?
Oak: yes
Mac: Does it make Jesus happy when we hit?
Oak: no
Mac: Do we follow the prophet when we hit?
Oak: No
Mac: Okay, you stay here until I come and get you.


( He actually went through this question ritual with her a few times inserting different crimes each time. It became a game or playing more than him actually punishing her.)
Oh my word, Bryce and I were dying listening to this conversation. I guess you can tell how we discipline, except for the gentle voice part. Pretty sure my voice isn't gentle when my kids are not being nice to each other :)


*Mac got sent to his room because he was throwing a fit about getting dressed. He was in there a few minutes and then opened the door and yelled at me to bring his clothes then slammed the door then opened the door and then yelled "please!" and then slammed his door shut again. I brought him his clothes and I shut his door then a second later he opens the door and yells at me "thank you!" then slams the door shut again. Loved that amidst his temper tantrum he found it in him to still be polite. And made for some great comic relief for me in a frustrating moment.
