2015 Funnies

As the kids are getting older and their dialogue is getting longer it is getting to be a lot to write down and put in the memory jar.  In lieu of the jar I am going to start typing this post throughout the year but will post it at the end of year and we will read it on New Year's Eve, per tradition! I have decided that sometimes Auggie and myself and on occasion Brandon can have some funnies of our own so the whole family is included this year!

Jan
Kenny Pops takes Elizabeth, Grant and Stella to the movies and to DQ for dinner.  He brings them home hyped up on sugar and the following happens...Grant dresses up in the Mickey costume with his underwear hanging out, Briggs gets completely naked and Amber finds Grant licking a playground ball...ew

A commercial for an Ab Roller comes on TV and Elizabeth says "No I would not like lean flat abs!"

I excused myself from the dinner table because I wasn't feeling well and Grant says "Do you need to let some gas out?" (yeah, something like that buddy!)

Frozen meatballs and frozen cookie dough balls look remarkably similar in dim lighting.

Two days after having Auggie home with us she ran into our open glass shower door!

Three days after having Auggie home with us she sees her reflection in the kid's shower door and begins barking!

At 10 weeks old Auggie sees her reflection in the fireplace glass and begins barking (we got a smart one here!)

Me: "G what do you want for breakfast?"
Grant: "Cashews" .... and that's what he ate for breakfast

Feb 1
Grant: "Having a puppy is harder than I thought"

Feb 16, President's Day
Elizabeth "When is that clover holiday?"
Clover holiday, clover holiday? "Oh you mean St.Patrick's day?"
"Yes! Do we celebrate that?"
"Well kind of...we will wear green and eat green food all day"
"We have to eat broccoli and peas and green beans all day? Wait do we get the day off school?"
"No, you get to go to school on St.Patrick's Day"
"Oh, so it's not really one of our favorite holidays then huh?"

Feb 17
I am not sure what excitement happened at the dinner table (maybe Grant passed gas), but Elizabeth exclaims "Lord Jesus Christ!"  Brandon and I turned to her and said "oh honey you can't say that, that is using the Lord's name the wrong way" and then we continued to ask her where she heard it.  She got so upset because she had made it up herself and didn't have anyone to blame!  We certainly weren't mad, just appalled at how it came out of her mouth!

Feb 20
Elizabeth looks at Brandon "Goodnight big fella!"

Feb 23
Grant: "I know how to spell Babar W O W" um no that's wow  "M O W" um no that's mow.  (I think the word he saw was actually NOW, as in like and now here's Babar!

Elizabeth cracked her head on the kitchen counter and a few days later referred to it as her "head injury" as if she under went some major trauma!

While eating dinner at Arby's with her she started telling me what she would name the artwork.  There was a "Blue & White" and a "T-Shirt" and she also noticed an advertisement that had been split into three separate panels and commented on how artistic that was!  I think we may a little artist on our hands!

Grant thought that peppermints had ants in them based upon his experience of spitting one out and then later seeing ants on it!  We discovered this after offering him a cream cheese mint that we were making for Sara's shower.  "C'mon buddy, just try it! You like mint things!"  "They have ants remember mom!"

March 2
We had just finished breakfast for dinner (strawberries and waffles) and I comment "Not Grandma Briggs good, but never the less not bad."  Elizabeth looks at me with a very serious look and firmly says "they aren't just good...they are brilliant!" (thank you Fancy Nancy for your fancy words)

March 10
Elizabeth "Hey Mom, thanks for not burning breakfast!" (in my defense I think we need a new toaster!)

March 12
Elizabeth: "That looks like crap!" What?? "That looks like crab!" Oh, ok, yes roasted red peppers can look like CRAB

March 20
Grant: "My jeep is faster than the bamaro" (that would be his power wheels jeep and the Camaro)

April 22
Soup, soup, makes me .... (grant helped fill in the blank of this fun rhyme that daddy started) POOP!!

April 27
I told Elizabeth it was  time to come inside and she replied "but mom we are being so good we aren't even pickering!"

May 7
After Grant yelled my name in a very loud, obnoxious tone that only means one thing...he needs his bottom wiped, I kindly asked him to try to wipe by himself. His response "Are you really serious?"  Yep pretty serious.

July 26
Me: Kids why do we go to church?
Grant: To get donuts

Nov 1
Grant and I were playing a board game and I said "I am hot on your tail!"  Grant's translation is now "I'm hot tailed!"

Nov 3
Brandon gives the kids some salami (left over from fondue of course!) and Grant asks: "Is this made from real llama?"

Nov something... (just being honest here!)
Elizabeth "I have butter hands!" I think she meant butter fingers!

And a whole bunch of fart jokes that just aren't appropriate!  December gets busy and I didn't write anything down! A lot like August, September and October! But look how strong January started out!
