The Daily List

Posted By Dustin on November 29, 2008

This morning as I was downstairs with the kids, Gracie asked what time it was. After I told he she walked out of the room and came back with this sheet of paper.

 

Gracie's List

Gracie

She came an stook in front of me. He back was to me so she was looking at the clock. I could hear her talking to herself quietly and seriously.

“8:12 Bed time, 12:12 Lunch time, 11:12 Snack time, 3:30 Coloring time, 8:11 Go outside time, 11:12 Play time, 12:31 Wii Game, 11:13 Brielle is coming for a sleepover!”

Gehrig also overheard her and when he heard sleepover he said, “No Brigham! It’s my turn for a sleep-over. That’s not fair!”

I said, “You know what guys. I don’t even like sleep-overs” (Not that it mattered much because none of this was happening anyway)

Gehrig then said to me, “Well then maybe you can just go hide in your work!”

Oh, I love my kids :)

To Dust, or Undust

Posted By Dustin on November 2, 2008

Where is the duster so I can dust… I mean undust things.

Gracie wanted to help clean the house yesterday.

Sarcasm

Posted By Dustin on October 26, 2008

Daddy: Gracie, get your scriptures and get out of the car.
Gracie: Uh oh. I think I left my scriptures at church.
Daddy: Oh, good!
Gracie: Why? … Why is that good?
Daddy: (Walking away) I was being sarcastic.
Gracie: (short pause) … Why is that fantastic? 

President Oof-dorf

Posted By Dustin on October 19, 2008

Tonight after reading scriptures we wrote in our gratitude journals. I wrote that I was grateful for prophets and apostles. I asked the kids if they knew who the prophet was. Gehrig said, “I can’t remember.” Gracie said. “President Monson. I then asked if they know who one of the apostles was. Gracie said, “I don’t know.” To our shock, Gehrig said, “President Oof-dorf!” [Uchtdorf].

disclaimer: Now, lest anyone think that our 3 year old is that bright, I venture to say it was a lucky guess because even though we have never told our kids the names of the 12 apostles or first presidency (which, yes, we should) I did read to Gehrig this morning from the Friend short articles about the first presidency. I’m still surprised that he remembered his name because I didn’t think he was paying attention to anything while I was reading.

Sorry You Can’t Eat The Pie

Posted By Dustin on October 10, 2008

I found this note on the fridge:

Gracie got some play-dough from school. She made a little pie and left it on the counter. I guess she was afraid I would eat it.

Post-Its Everywhere

Posted By Dustin on October 9, 2008

Yesterday I came out of my office to find Gracie had covered the walls with Post-It Note drawings. No worries. I still have tons of Post-It’s from 3M Employee Pallet sales ;)

Here are a few of my favorites (yes, they were bright pink, I don’t know how my scanner made the background light blue…)

Are You Smart?

Posted By Dustin on October 4, 2008

Gracie: Are you smart? … Like I am?
Mommy: Sure, how do you think you got smart? Where did you learn?
Gracie: Daddy!

Zoo Bread

Posted By Dustin on October 1, 2008

No, I want the “zoo bread”!

Gehrig wanted zucchini bread, not white bread.

Pickle on the Cob

Posted By Dustin on September 24, 2008

Gehrig’s Dictionary:

Pickle on the cob (also known as cucumber on the cob): (n) Eating a cucumber that has not been cut up.

Spiderman & Underwear

Posted By Dustin on August 31, 2008

Rachel: C’mon Gehrig, let’s put your underwear on.
(no reaction from Gehrig)
Rachel: Should I put it on your head?
Gehrig: No!
Gehrig: (After underwear is on) Spiderman wears underwear on his head!
