Skinny Dipping

We spent some time with the Parker family at a hotel. Upon arrival, all the kids wanted to go swimming.

Then I remembered.....
"Oh! I forgot my swimming suit!"

RaKell, "Um, that's ok mom. You can just take off all your clothes and go make-ed  (her version of naked [and I won't let my kids correct her]).
You just get off all your clothes and jump in the pool and only have your head sticking out. Then no one will care that you are make-ed."

Learning Expressions

RaKell is looking at a book.  I heard her just exclaim,  "What in the Earth!"

Compliment???

I went to put some socks down the laundry shute.  Instead, I started putting them in the garbage!

Landon was in the kitchen too.

"Oops!" I said. "I almost threw these socks away instead of putting them in the laundry shute."

Landon, knowing this mistake has happened before with those that live here, said with a sarcastic tone,  "Why would you do that?"

"Maybe I'm not very smart."

"Yes you are. " (Aaaaww, how sweet)..."when it comes to Disney movies. " 

Gee, thanks.

Prayers

As I was helping RaKell say her prayers tonight she was ending with her usual pleading to have good dreams:

"Please help me to have good dreams tonight and not that creepy Jasmine dream again."

I almost burst out laughing!

Definitions

We were in the car driving and Landon was going through his backpack. He pulled out a bunch of miscellaneous items...

Landon: I got these...these... things at school.

RaKell: You call them 'thingymajigs' if you don't know what they are called.

Dinner Delights

RaKell just asked me to turn on the oven light so she could see dinner cooking.

I turned it on.

She looked in the top oven and said the food looked delicious.

Um, dinner was in the bottom oven. I didn't put anything in the top oven.

Spaghetti squash?!!!! How long has that been there!!!????

Turns out Dalan had cooked some last week and forgot about it.

The Jungle

After returning from her room where she spent some time away from her brother to cool down (he also was cooling down in his room):

RaKell:  Mom, where's Landon?
Mom: You don't need to worry about Landon.
RaKell: But where is he?
Mom: Maybe I sent him to the jungle.
RaKell: But you don't know the jungle people's phone number.
Mom: (smile to myself)
RaKell: It is S-M-P-S-E-M-R-E-S-L. See, I knowed it. Call them.

Sure Thing Dear

RaKell opened the fridge to get an orange. . .

"Ooooo! I'm so cold in this fridge!"
"This fridge is freezing!"
"Mom, can we get a new fridge?"
