Nana – “Today’s the day your Aunt and Uncle are coming and I have to go run some errands. I’ll be back in a bit.”
Evie – “Okay, but will you save all the adventures for me?”
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!
Nana – “Today’s the day your Aunt and Uncle are coming and I have to go run some errands. I’ll be back in a bit.”
Evie – “Okay, but will you save all the adventures for me?”
Evie – “I meant to say ‘Oh my gosh’ but my head kept telling me to say ‘Oh my God’!”
A week or so ago, we were discussing her Aunt and Uncle’s upcoming visit. I mentioned that I might have to pick them up at the airport and she asked if she could go. I explained how my car wasn’t very big and all their stuff might not fit in my trunk so I would probably have to take her car seat out. Today Auntie called and in the course of the conversation Evie brings up the topic of how many suitcases they were gonna bring. It was explained how it costs money to take suitcases on the plane so they were just gonna bring backpacks. Two backpacks. We finished our call and hung up and Evie says:
“You know, Nana, two backpacks would easily fit in your trunk!”
We were talking about something that Evie remembered from a long time ago. It just popped into her head and I told her how amazing it was that she still remembered that. She said:
“Yeah, it was too big for my little memory or too little for my big memory. One of the two.”
We had a hail storm today. I took Evie outside to see and hear it and she was super excited. She then went into her room to ‘evacuate’ everyone to be sure they were all in a safe place.
Man on TV talks about Los Angeles. Evie says:
“Hey, Los Angeles is where the Kings are from!”
Evie picked out her own outfit for the first time. She’s got Nemo chonies, Dory sox, pink chucks to match the hearts on her shirt, purple pants cuz that’s Mama’s favorite color and a headband with a flower so she’d be ‘fancerific!’

When we are driving on the freeway, Evie always talks about being ‘on the top’. I guess she looks out the window and can look down off the side of the freeway and starts yelling:
“We’re ‘on the top, we’re on the top.”
She did that again today but then asked if we were actually on the top. I said not anymore so she starts yelling:
“We’re on the down, we’re on the down!”
Evie has really been coming up with quite the creations lately. Today at Story Time they had play time with various building blocks. She picked these fish things that had holes on fours side for joining together and came up with this.

Evie made this all by herself.
