10/27
We normally drink skim milk, but now that Ashton is almost one we buy him Vitamin D Whole milk, but when we ran out of our skim milk I let the kids have some of Ashton's with dinner:
Trevor- (after tasting Ashton's milk) "Is this what you put in his bottles?!"
Me- "Yes"
Trevor- "No wonder he drinks them down so fast.....this is EGGNOG!"
10/16
We make our kids brush their teeth for 2 minutes before they go to school and have recently started using timers so that they can do it the entire time:
Me- "We have to leave NOW or you will be late for school!"
Kids- "We are brushing our teeth."
Me- "Well you need to be DONE brushing your teeth!"
Kids- "But the timer has not gone off yet!"
Me- "Well then BRUSH FASTER!" (as if that will make the timer beep sooner :)

10/12
Durring Sacrament meeting I had to move Kaylee to the end of the bench by me because she kept fighting while sitting by Trevor. She was being quite defiant and kept trying to go sit by Trevor and repeatedly asked me if she could go sit by Trevor, to which I would say:
Me- "NO! Sit down and be QUIET"
Kaylee- "NO! Can I go sit by Trevor!?!"
Me- "Kaylee, I have answered you and the answer is NOT going to change!"
Kaylee- (with quite a determined look) "How do YOU know!"

Nathan- "Mom, why do we have to clean this house all these days!?"
Me...in the same whinny voice..- "Because you make a mess in this house all these days!"
Nathan (laughing)- "Ha! Good one Mom!"

Ashton in his highchair- "Waaaaaah!"
Me- "Ashton, what happened?"
Nathan asleep on the couch- "He fell down."
9/14
Nathan coming in from outside crying
Nathan- "Mom...I fell down and hurt my leg!"
Me- "Now why did you do that?"
Nathan- "I didn't do it!"
Me- "Oh, OK, go outside and play then"
Nathan no longer crying- "OK" and goes out.

Kaylee- "Mom, I want to be normal"
Me giving her a confussed look
Kaylee- "Well, I know I look normal, but I want to ACT normal!"
