Allie: Today at pre-school my friends were talking about stink bugs, but I told them there is no such thing.
Also
Allie: There are two things about undies. The first is that you make
sure they are not showing, and the other is that they are not stuck in
your bottom.

Allie: I'm pretending to be a grown-up.

Allie:
You know when I'm going to have my wedding? When all my friends are
grown up. Because they can't do their jobs when they are so little,
because they will need to be wearing a big dress for my wedding!!

Allie-isms
of the week: 1. When I grow up, I'm going to ride everywhere I go in a
carriage. 2. I'm thinking I will go to kindergarten, and then that is
all the school I will need.

This
was whispered in my ear this morning: "Mommy, I love you so much and
you are so sweet that when I grow up and get married, you are going to
be invited to my wedding AaaaaaND [insert Allie's BIG EYED look here]
you are going to get to ride in the carriage with me after!!!!!!" Thank
you, Disney, for making my little girl dream big.

Allie
has finally moved on from her obsession with weddings. She just
informed me that she will be having twins when she grows up. Two sets.
The boys will be named 'Santa' and 'The Elf'. She is calling the girls
"Fairy Unicorn Princess" and "Isabella Chandelier".

struggle in American History, but she will ACE Superheroes 101.

"Yesterday
at preschool, at nap time, I tried not to listen to Kailee when she was
talking to me after lights out. But my ears just reached out and
grabbed her words anyway.”--Allie
Another Allie quote
of the day: 'I don't think I want a husband because I want to live with
you my whole life.'. Hahaha we didn't have the heart to tell her she'd
be moving out eventually whether she was married it not.
July 5, 2012
A: Nicole and I were turning around to a rhyme, Mommy!
Me: (obviously not listening very well) Oh, you are?
A: (exasperated) No. I WERE.
[hahaha--I'm usually an adamant member of the grammar police force, but for some reason I found this actually hilarious.]
July 22, 2012
Allie-isms of the day:
1)
[explaining a game to daddy] Once I say your name, you have to come get
your tickets. And it is a little fine if you're a little late, but you
have to be responsible in it.
2) Mommy, Nicole just had a grumpy face like this [demonstrates], and she pointed it at me!!
July 26, 2012
Allie:
[emerging from upstairs with a couple of friends in tow] We are
pretending the shadow in my room is a bear, so may I please have my
T-ball bat?

"Mommy,
why do birthday wishes not come true? Last year for my birthday I
wished for a pet unicorn, and I still didn't get one." —Allie

A: I decided to get married after all.
M: Oh, really? What changed your mind?
A: Well, the wedding. And the cake.
September 6, 2012
Right as we pulled into pre-school, and of course, out of the blue:
Mommy, do you know what happened to Bambi's mommy?
September 14, 2012
Here is one for my Seattle friends:
A: Hey look, Mommy! It's the Weedle on the Needle! Hmm, I wonder what he is doing in this area.
M: Maybe he is visiting his friend or a relative.
A: Maybe. Or maybe he is visiting his MATE!!
M: umm, what did you say?
A: His mate. You know, his someone special.
Your children are listening. And if yours aren't listening to you, mine are.
September 28, 2012
A:
Why do I always have to use my manners?!? I don't want to use my
manners anymore, and the manner I don't want to use is, “please".

A: why are you a matron?
M: because I am married to your daddy, whom I love very much.
