• Kasidee spotted some rain boots at a store when we were in Oregon.  She looked at them funny then said, "Nobody wears these things.  If it's raining, you just don't go outside!"

• Kasidee calls someone's behind their "Batootchka."

Ha!

During our trip to Oregon, we went through some canyon-type areas with lots of elevation changes. At one point, Makenna said, "I think I need to yawn my ears!"

Ha

Kasidee wore a pair of light khaki pants during our recent camping trip.  She rode 4-wheelers and her pants got pretty dirty.  After a couple of washings, the pants still didn't look very good.  She said, "Well, they were going to grow out of me someday anyway!"

Funnies

• The other day, Makenna and Kasidee were having a debate about the name of "Chuck A Rama."  Kasidee told Makenna it is "Chuck A Rama. . . . .It's like chuck a grandma."  But Makenna insisted it is called "Chick A Rama. . . . It's like a chick doing the rama."
• Makenna was invited to attend Girls Camp this year, though she was 2 months shy of being 12.  I was excited and nervous for her, but grateful that she would be with Kiera and that Quentin would also be there for 2 of the 5 days.  When she got home, she said she had so much fun.  She said, "I was only homesick, like, the last 5 days...."
• Kasidee was sick with a high fever and sore throat.  For nearly 2 days all she wanted were drinks.  The third day, she said somewhat triumphantly, "I feel so much better!  I think my taste buds are coming back!"

He He!

• Even though it's June, I caught Kasidee singing a Christmas song....  "Grab yourself a merry little Christmas."  I thought she was trying to be funny so I asked her about it and she genuinely thought those were the words to the song!
• Makenna came home from a camp certification activity and told me she learned how to do the Heimlich Remover.

Ha ha!

• Kasidee - "I'm so glad I won the paper airplane contest, because I've never felt the winning spirit before!"
• Makenna was working on a report for school, and I noticed she had put 2 spaces in between each word.  I asked her why, and she said totally seriously, "My teacher said it needed to be double-spaced...."
• Makenna asked if I had hot rollers I could try in her hair.  I told her I still had some that I used when I was a kid.  She said, "Aren't those old fashioned?  Will they turn my hair into Mrs. Goldberg's?"
• After Kiera and Makenna returned home from a Camp Certification activity, they were explaining what they learned.  All of a sudden Kasidee said seriously, "Oh my gosh, you sound so sustifficated!"
• Makenna - "I can't believe I got a 94% on my test - I didn't even study!  I just wung it!"

Ha

• Kasidee got up one morning and noticed her sheets weren't very tousled.  She said, "I guess I was actually a good night's sleeper last night!"
• Kasidee's glasses broke in one place, and Quentin was able to fix it temporarily by melting perler beads (we call them melty beads).  Kasidee said, "I can tell all my friends that my dad melty-beaded them!"

Hee Hee!

• Kasidee got a new apron for Christmas, one she was begging for about a month before Christmas.  She put it on and realized it was an adult size, so it was pretty long on her.  She said, "It's okay.  I can still wear this when I'm an old maid!"
• Kasidee was admiring a pillowcase that her Primary teacher had embroidered for her.  She said, "I can't believe Sister Weaver sewed this...I mean, sued it?"

More Ha Ha's!

• My mom made ambrosia salad for part of our Christmas Eve dinner this year.  Makenna really enjoyed it and asked if she could have more "amnesia salad."
• Makenna overheard Quentin mentioning that in some stakes men in presidency positions can have a beard.  Makenna misheard him and exclaimed with wide eyes, "Wait - in some stakes you can have a beer?"
• The day after Christmas, Makenna asked if we were going to go anywhere.  I said, "Well, not really - maybe Target or something."  She said, "Yes!  I want to show off my new Converse."  I told her that we wouldn't be seeing anyone there that we know.  She said, "That's okay.  I just want to show them off to random strangers."
