Porter : What's this?!

So Dane is making dinner, and Jenn is making dessert.

Jenn pops dessert in the oven, and dinner is done... ready to eat.

We all sit at the table with dinner on it,

to which Porter says:

"What's this?!"

Daddy:

"Dinner"

Porter:

"Where's the brownies?!"

Porter : Whales...?

So, on my desktop is this picture.

Porter asks:

"Mom, are those humpback whales... or poop?"

(bite your lip... bite your lip)

Debany : Tickle Bug

Debany needs a pet!

Tonight, she turned my hand into a tickle bug that has died, gotten sick, was repremanded for growling at another tickle bug, and grew a 'second' arm!

("Tickle bug, will you tickle me?... aahhh!!... I didn't know you had TWO arms!")

So, as she's leaving to go to grandma's house, I received plenty of instruction on how to take care of tickle bug (which was resting on my shoulder.)

And after she asked for tickle bug to give her a kiss, Debany says:

"Give me five!!"

Me, getting ready for a real five, Debany sticks up one finger and Tickle bug pokes it with it's 'hand'...

I laughed the whole way into the house.

(And the Tickle Bug is now a favorite with all the kids!)

Porter : Truth

Porter is looking for his toy:

"Gma, do you know where my 'Ming Ming' is?"

Gma says:

"No, Porter, I don't know where Ming ming is."

Porter replies:

"Tell the TRUTH Grandma!!"

Gma answers:

"I AM Porter, I DON'T know."

Insistent Porter says:

"YES, you DO!"

Debany : Silly Mom...

While in the store, Mom was acting silly (just a little!)...

to which Debany says:

"Mom, you're too much to know!"

Debany : It Happens

While getting out of the car, Debany stepped on my seat.

Mom: "Oh no! Now when I sit down, I'll sit on a wet seat."

Debany: "Oh... well, ...it happens."

Definitely a lesson in not making a big deal of something - blowing up in my face.

Myanna : Cleaning

While cleaning, Myanna is amazed by wiping up dirt and then it being clean.

"Wow! Mom, look! It's going away!

That's amazing! I was worried because it was there for like

... 25 days!"

Not necessarily there for 25 actual days...

3 days to her is like 25 to us.

;)

Debany : Bathroom

While watching a Melaleuca video about our new cleaners,

we got to the part where we learn about our new bathroom cleaner,

Debany exclaims:

"This is my favorite part! I LOVE cleaning the bathroom..."

Debany : Milk

"If I were a cow, I'd make the best milk ever!"

Porter: Walk

Porter to Dad:

"I want to walk. I have feet!"

Porter : ears

Porter:

"I hear my ears. Do you hear my ears?"

Debany & Myanna: Doctor/Patient

Debany after bandaging Myanna's owie:

"I'm a sure doctor!"

Myanna:

"And I'm a sure patient!"

YES, you are a 'sure' patient -- my little bruiser!

:)

Debany: Inspirational...

Overheard:

Debany to Porter

"Porter, it's not what you get. It's what you have."
