This started as stuff Evie has said that I've remembered to write down. If only I had started sooner. I've missed things like "I almost agot", "Mmmmm, goot", "Farshfellows are yummy, yummy, yummy", "All the people", "Hubba, Hubba, Hubba", "Baa Baa Boo", "Cowabunga, Dude!", "A Lion Guard Bliund Bag", "I do it", "Oh, yaaaah", "I'm a Haidband Haid", "Dey Cazzy". As of 2017, we've added stuff Andy says, too. I sometimes forget to post it before I've forgotten what they said or did so this is by no means all the funny things that have happened. And you also don't get to see the looks on their faces, the tone of voice they used or the hand gestures that go along with it. I wish I'd had something like this for my kids!
Today they are playing Amazon Prime. Evie explained that she packs up the order and sends it to Andy. Andy gets it at his apartment, opens the package and is either happy or sad. If he’s sad, then he takes it to the UPS place and sends it back. And then she gives him something better.
The influence we have, eh?
Evie – “Nana, are Salt Guns really made of salt?”
The three of us went on a walk today. The wind picked up.
Evie – “Hold on to your brothers and your hats!!”
Evie and I were talking about what we each had for dinner. I told her I’d had chili dogs. She commented on how she wanted that so bad then said she’d rather have chili over tots. I told her I wasn’t much of a tots fan and would rather have chili fries. The rest of the conversation went as follows:
Nana – “Oh, that reminds me. I’ve got some potatoes. I can make some fries and have them with my leftover chili.”
Evie looks at me in complete and utter amazement and says “You can make fries???”
Evie came in asked me if I’d like something from her restaurant and when I said yes, she asked if I wanted The Special. This is what she brought me. Pasta, salad and dumplings.
Evie was patting Phoebe this morning. She started rubbing her on her back by her tail. Phoebe was digging it and Evie starts singing (to the tune of Do-Dah, Do-dah) “Who wants to have her butt pet? She does, she does!”
Nana – “I think Blaine’s mama is gonna have another baby.”
Evie – “That will be 3 kids, then. She’s gonna need a lot of help from Blaine.”
Nana – “That’s for sure cuz I think she takes care of another kid, too.”
Evie – “You mean she’s a babysitter, too?”
Nana – “I think so.”
Evie – “OMG, she’s gonna be so stressed!”
It is sooooo weird without Evie here this morning!
Also, I forgot to mention that a couple weeks ago, she started putting herself to bed at night. So we are definately sadly (and happily) making that transistion up from little girl. Heavy sigh! If they could just stay little….!
