Silly Makenna

A few weeks ago, Makenna had an allergic reaction which created a rash around her eyes. We got it checked out by a dermatologist and it quickly went away. Tonight, Makenna was telling me a story. She said it happened around the time she had her "over reaction" a few weeks ago. Haha!

The other day, Kiera got a new debit card in the mail that needed to be activated. I handed her the paperwork and told her she needed to call the number on the sticker. She got a panicked look on her face and said, "Well, what do I say?" I said, "It's totally automated. It will tell you what to do." She said seriously, "Are you sure it's animated? I won't have to talk to a real person?" I burst out laughing - she had said "animated" when she meant "automated." All I could imagine was Mickey Mouse on the other end of the phone saying in his cartoonish voice, "Hello! Thanks for calling Mountain America!" Haha!

Eye Roll

One day around the Sunday dinner table, the girls were listing the boys they kind of liked in order from #1 and on down. After awhile, they asked my mom ("Granny") who her number one boy is. She laughed and said, "Elvis of course!" And Kiera said, "Hmmm...Granny Presley. Has a nice ring to it!"

Funny

We just went on a trip to California for a Jacobson family reunion.  As we were driving through Nevada (long, hot and boring), Makenna fell asleep.  When she woke up, she looked around and said, "Why is it still so ugly?"

Our girls have always had fun when they get together with their cousin Jason Dougan.  They were looking forward to seeing him at the reunion but this time he is married.  Kasidee said, "I'm worried Jason will just be an adult now.  When they get married they're done with parties."

During this trip the girls each had some souvenir money.  Kiera said, "I should be spending money on saving!"

* Kasidee has had an obsession with vending machines for a couple of years. She made a pretty cool one out of a giant cardboard box and lots of masking tape a little over a year ago. It eventually sort of broke and we moved it into the garage. Quentin, thinking it was in the recycling pile, used it to catch oil during an oil change. Kasidee was upset and Quentin was heartbroken that he ruined her creation unintentionally. He vowed to help her make a new one or buy a cool one.
A few weeks ago, we found a cute little vending machine online. We showed it to Kasidee and asked her what she thought. She said, "I wish I could have my mid-life crisis now! I just really want a vending machine!" Haha! We did end up buying the machine and she has been in heaven!

* Kiera came in the room kind of mock-whining saying, "No one will play foosball with me!..." Makena didn't even look up from what she was doing and said in a monotone voice, "You are correct."

Ha

* Kasidee asked me if we were going to go to Lagoon this year. I admit I hate Lagoon and we've only taken Kiera and Makenna once about 10 years ago, when Makenna was about 3 or 4. Kasidee has never gone. I said to Kasidee, "Well, we'll have to see. We are going to Universal Studios this year and that's supposed to be even better than Lagoon." Kasidee said, "I think we should go to Lagoon soon so I can have a sufficient childhood."

* On the last day of school, Kasidee showed Quentin the picture in her yearbook of the boy she kind of likes. A few days later she told me that she showed him. She said, "He asked me if that was the boy I liked more than all the rest...and then it just got really awkward."

It's Been Awhile

For some reason, I haven't been able to log on to Blogger for awhile. It's working now! I've kept a few notes of funny things my girls have said. I like to have them all in one spot so that one day I can print them all in a book!

* Makenna was literally sleep talking one night after she fell asleep on the couch. As we tried to gently wake her up to get her to her bed she said in all seriousness, "Someone stole my baked beans."
* Kasidee asked me, "Can you put a tail in my pony?"
* Makenna was looking at Kasidee and asked me why she is so thin and petite. Then she said to me, "I guess I'm like multigrain bread."
* Kiera was learning to drive and we let her drive our family as we went out to dinner on Makenna's birthday. Makenna said, "If I get killed on my birthday I will be [Snape voice] severely disappointed."
* Kasidee saw a post I did of something I was trying to sell. She said, "Why are you selling that?" I told her it was 5 years old and we didn't need it anymore." She said, "Well, I'm 10 years old and I'm perfect!"
* We found out Quentin's cousin is going to adopt their second baby soon. I told my girls that he should be born around June 8. Makenna said, "Oh - is that when the baby will be seduced?" Quentin, Mom and I kind of giggled and then Makenna said, "Oh sorry, I meant is that when the mom will be seduced?"
* I caught Makenna looking at herself in the mirror. She turned to me and said, "Do I look like someone to mess with?"
* The girls were making a ruckus in the car one day. Quentin said, "Girls, can you please be quiet? You're hurting my ears." Makenna said, "Well, you're hurting my feelings."
* Makenna was looking at the birthday money Kiera got for her birthday. Makenna said, "Wait...you got paid for being born?"
