Kids say...

My kids, all kids, crack me up. They say some of the funniest, (and dumbest) things ever! I have to share a couple.

The other night I went into the kitchen to get a glass of water. I opened the freezer and realized that we were out of ice. We buy ice, I dont even have trays to make any so that was not an option. I think out loud all the time. So if you ever hear me barely talking, dont ask me "what?", chances are I was talking to myself. Hubby (remember I cant use his name anymore :)) and Dustin were in the living room. Which is right next to the kitchen and they could hear me. Anyway, once I realized there was no ice, I started talking to myself, went a little like this. "oh there is no ice, I should have got some. I will have to get some tomorrow. Now my water is going to be yucky, I know I could just put some water in the pitcher and stick that in the fridge until I get some." Next thing I know, I hear Dustin say "why would you want to do that?" I say, do what? "Well why would you just want one big block of ice?" What a dork, put the water in the fridge, not the freezer!

Corri has had a duh moment also within the last couple of days. When you drive on base there is a big counter telling how many days it has been since the last DUI. Pretty pathetic that we have to count, dont ya think? If we make it to 60 days there is a down day, everybody gets the day off. Well we havent hit 60 days since we have been here and I dont how long it was before that that we got to 60. So two weeks ago we were up to something like 55 and everybody is getting excited. Well wouldnt you know the next time we drive through the gate it is back down to 3 days! GRRRR! Well Corri was with me and saw the sign and she said, "I bet that guy is happy" Well, yes Corri I am sure he is really happy since he just screwed it up for everyone! She said no, I mean while he was drunk. I told her no, actually alcohol is a depressant. Of course I know nothing so she had to go on and argue with me about it. So she tells me, well yeah, but while he was drinking I bet he was happy.
me:"no Corri, depressed is the opposite of happy"
C:"well I bet he was sad the next day then" OK, now she is irritating me
me:" Why would he be sad the next day?"
C:"because he ruined it for everyone"
me:"you are sad the next day because you dont feel good, your head hurts, your dizzy, you have dry mouth" I was really trying to make it sound as bad as I could
C:"oh.......well I am never going to drink then cause I hate it when I have dry mouth"
That is as good a reason as any I guess

Cheara doesnt always say stuff that is that funny. She sometimes says stuff that makes you want to crawl in a hole! We went to brunch at the club for Easter and what is her 6 yr old view on it...."there's alot of brown people here" I could have died!!!!!!
We have noticed that she is defiantly a leader. At everything! If you are going to play a game with her, you do it her way. Want to watch a movie, she picks it out. How about getting dressed for school? every morning I have to hear, I do not want to wear that!! I need a skirt or a dress! And probably 5 nights a week at dinner, it is EWWW Gross, I dont want that! that one is fun, cause now when I call her for dinner, I say outloud what I know she is going to say, it fun! Then I can laugh about it, tell her, Yeah I know go eat or go take a shower. Then I get to watch her stomp her feet, throw her head around, growl and say FINE! I love her, she is so much fun :) She really keeps life exciting. I took Landon in the stroller one night, Corri took her heely's and Cheara rode her bike and we went for a walk/heely/bike ride. One of Cheara's friends wanted to ride her bike with us to, ok fine, no big deal. We had gone about 5 or 6 blocks when I hear cheara tell her friend "no Katie, remember I am first you need to get behind me" and so Katie lets Cheara go with nothing said and they continue to ride their bikes. I guess that is just the way it is with her. If we go somewhere, she will always walk in the front, has to get in the car first, out of the car first, everything. I guess that is a good thing?

Good ol' Landon. Everything he says is still funny. I like listening to his race car sounds. He hates everything! Especially if he is in a pissy mood. I can ask him if he wants to go outside, his response will be "i hate outside" he does this with everything, if he doesnt want to do it,then he hates it. When he first started going potty he wanted Blues Clues underwear. I looked everywhere I could think of online, of course the BX doesnt have it. So one day when I talked to Michelle I asked her to look for them. She looked everywhere to and could never find any. So one day I told Landon Aunt Michelle cant find Blues Clues underwear. What does he tell me, I hate blues clues. What a brat. They are all brats, thats ok. I still love 'em, and they are all mine! I guess I kinda made them that way. :) Except Cheara, she came that way :)

I guess I will share my blonde moment from the other day. It really isnt that funny tho. We took the kids to the park and I asked the daddy type person in the house what time it was. He pulled out his phone and said it was 5 o'clock. Well we got there at like 2. I went Holy cow it is? and said yeah see and showed me the time. I looked at for a second and went no its not it is 3. He just rolled his eyes and put the phone back in his pocket. I guess I should say the time is in 24 hr time so it said 15:00. See, not that funny. I am sure I will have another moment that will be pretty funny though within the next few days!
