Autumn Has Officially Arrived!

These books sit on the mantle of our fireplace. They get stored away in the "Fall Decor" bin downstairs and return the following year. The girls get so excited to sit by the fire and read one each night. I have to admit the pop-ups are my favorite.

The Things They Say 2008....

Kevin says...

"Girls! It's 'similar' too, not 'like'!"

"Please take me off Speaker Phone!"

"Where's the phone?"

Stacy says...

"So what's your favorite thing your mom fixes for dinner?"

"I seriously make the cutest babies!!"

"Did you take your Vit C? Mmmm, take more."

Millie (14) says...

"I do not like those stairs! It's not funny anymore!"

"I need some zeebra print heels!!!!"

Sophie (12) says...

"May I ride my bike to the 'Windy City'?" (cafe)

"We're gonna be late!"

Chloe (9) says...

"It's a flutter of scents in the air!"

"I proclaim! I just tried my first egg salad sandwich!"

Gracie (5) says...

"May we go to the Caymen Islands today?"

"When is Who-Ya Class?" (karate)

"That's the grossest ever that I saw!" (Compost bin!)

"Hey, strawberries fight cancer!"

Gracie brought me a brush & scrunchie, turned her back to me, stuck her head back & said, "Mother, prepare for duty!"

While at the Farmers Market, Gracie pointed to a lady & ask, "Is she Mexican?" Kevin told her she was Hmong. Gracie then said, "Oh, so she speaks Hmong & Human?"

We're hoping Grandma Bev & Grandpa Norm from ID can come visit us soon. When I mentioned gas & airline tickets cost lots of money Gracie said matter of factly, "Well... how 'bout they pogostick over."

A boy at school said a bodily function word and Gracie said to me, "I laughed off my head!" (Instead of "I laughed my head off!")

While Kevin & the girls were at Subway, Gracie ask him, "Why does Mama always order water & you order soda?" Before he could answer she said, "Ah, I know because Mama is healthy... you're more junkie & a little healthy!"

"Can I tell you a question?"
