Sitting with the three year old, trying to get her to sleep, I tell her, “I don’t want to be sitting here at 11:30 at night. I want to be sleeping!”
Kyle responded, “I want to be sleeping too!”
I answered saying, “Neither of us are getting what we want.”
Kyle then said, “If that’s the case, then I want to be cleaning barf in the bathroom in the middle of the night!”
I told him, “Well, you got that!”

Are you nuts?
As I was sitting in my room feeding Seth this afternoon, I saw out of the corner of my eye this streak run past my door into the bathroom. It looked to be about Lydia’s height, so I called her to me. She said she had to pee, but when she was done she came in and my suspicions were confirmed. She was stark naked. This is how our conversation went:
Me:Where are your clothes?
Lydia:My Clothes? (Like she hadn’t noticed they were missing)
Me: Why are you naked?
Lydia: I took my undies off.
Me: Where are the rest of your clothes?
Lydia: My clothes are on the couch.
Me: Why are they on the couch? They are supposed to be on your body.
Lydia: My body? On my bottom?
Me: Well your bottom is part of your body.
Lydia: Can I go in the pool?
Me: What?! What pool?
Lydia: The pink pool. Can I go in the pool on the grass?
Me: What grass? All the grass is covered in snow!
Lydia: I want to play in the pool.
Me: Are you nuts?!?!
Lydia: I’m not yummy! (Apparently she thought I meant nuts as in peanuts….)
At this I just laughed out loud….
Funny Lydia
Lydia didn’t have a nap today. We kept her awake through dinner, but she fell asleep during the First Presidency Christmas devotional. She woke up after the devotional when Kyle was trying to transfer her to her bed. Now she is WIDE AWAKE. Kyle asked her why she is so wide awake, and then said “I’m not going to get any sleep tonight am I?” Lydia answered with “Are you sick?”
Kyle went to the freezer to get out some ice cream, and took Lydia with him. She came back with a bag of chips saying “Mommy! I got you some chips” So I took them from her and she suddenly freaked out and said “Hey those are mine!”
She is just wide awake and that nap has her so refreshed and bright eyed. Of course Kyle and I are totally ready to go to bed, but we’re wondering when that’s going to happen…
Lydia’s Self Cut
Kyle got everything set up to give Ethan a haircut after church today. Ethan hates getting his hair cut and they have made a deal that Ethan can play on the ipad as long as he is in the chair getting it cut. So Ethan was playing on the ipad, and Kyle was quite intent watching the game, and Lydia was saying that she wanted a haircut too. While Kyle was watching Ethan play, Lydia pushed a chair over to the counter next to them where Kyle had put the hair cutting supplies, and she reached for the scissors. I was on the other side of the room and when I realized what Lydia was doing I called out to Kyle to stop her, since she was within arms reach for him. He looked up, and just as he realized what was happening, she snipped! She snipped off the her hairdo that I had put in for church, and that meant that she snipped off just about everything she had on the top of her head. 🙁
As soon as she realized what she had done she was upset that it happened.
Now she is going to need another haircut to fix this one, and she cut so much off the top that we can’t just fix it by giving her bangs. She will probably need a pixie cut or something else along those lines. 🙁
Early Thanksgiving Feast
While I was down the hall this morning, and the kids were about the house doing their own thing, Adam and Lydia got bored and decided that they would decorate the living room with Jango’s dog food.
I asked the bigger kids to help clean it up, which they all refused to do, so I declared it nap time. I couldn’t have them playing out in the living room with it looking like that! So sending them to take naps got them out of the way so the mess could be taken care of. Meanwhile, Chewy and the cat thought this was a great feast for them. Fitting since tomorrow is Thanksgiving….
After the bulk of the kids fell asleep I got Ethan and Jeremy out here to help clean it up, of course they spent most of the time goofing off and sometimes dropping the food before it made it back into the container.
