Quotes from Afton and Jack - February 2013

Although it has been a short month, plagued by sickness (once again), my babies were still pretty funny each day with their one-liners, conversations, and questions. Some days were so good that there are 2 quotes. I really hope that I can keep up with this, because I think it will be so fun to read with them when they are older.

February 2013
Day 1:
Jack: "You silly Grandma." (quoting Elliot from Open Season)
Day 2:
After buying my girl some princess panties that she just had to have because her cousin Brooke has them, she says, "I will wear my new Cinderella panties to church tomorrow because she seems the most like a sunbeam. Ariel... I just don't know about her."
Day 3:
Afton: "I really liked my class today mommy. I really liked singing time in primary."

"Don't take my picture mommy. Just give me some candy."

Day 5: (First day of our in-home preschool)

Day 10:
On our drive home from church...

Day 12:
Me: "Afton, why are you throwing your yucky tissues on the floor? That is so gross!"
Afton: "Daddy does it. Do you want me to show you the pile of them on the floor so you believe me?"
Me: "No dear, I know exactly where his pile is."
Day 13:
 #1
Jack just getting done hitting his sister for the millionth time with his baseball bat, Afton says, "You need to tell me you are sorry. Then you need to not do it anymore. That is what it means to really repent."
Jack hit her again. Afton says, "Mommy, he just doesn't mean sorry when he says it."
#2      Jack: Can we take it home?"
Day 14:
Me: "Angela and Shawn had their baby girl today."

Day 15:

Afton: "Mommy is this Imagine Dragons?"
Jack: "Dragons? I love dragons! Roaaaaarrrrrrr!"

Jack: (Quoting his cousin Tanner who frequently says this phrase from "Community" when he doesn't like something) "GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY!"
  ------- Let me assure you THIS word is not said in our home and is not understood by my son. It was just funny how he picked up the exact timing to say this phrase, just as his cousin would.--------

Afton: "I can't Jack. I'll be in school to be a princess dentist so I'll be awfully busy. But, I know you will be a good basketball man Jack."
Jack: (screams so loud in the middle of Costco) "Oh yeah BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Day 27:
Grandma Jones stopped by after school just to say hi, with her Coke in hand. Jack sneaks a sip, like usual.

Afton from up top of the stairs: "You shouldn't be here then, geez!"
Day 28:
Jack: "Mommy, stand right here so I can give you a kiss when I slide down the slide. I love to give you kisses on the slide!"
 
I never got a picture of him on the slide because I kept giving him kisses.
