What Has Been Said:

"You should quit the construction business and go into modeling".
-A Woman Who Was Driving a Cement Truck to Trent at Work One Day
I AGREE HE HE.

"We don't say stupid!" -Evelyn (we strongly discourage anyone from using this word at our house, but sometimes we slip up).

While waiting for a movie to start, watching previews: "Mom they said we can get these movies on DVD.com". -Evelyn

"Mom....Mom....Mom.....Mom....Mom....Mom....Mom...Mom...Mom...Mom...Mom.....MOM!!" -Lyla (every second of every day)

Me: You can't go outside right now...."Can I just do it for like 55 minutes"? -Evelyn

Trent: "I lost five pounds, without even trying!!" Me: "How what did you do different, not fare". *Although he has been eating less at night and working physical labor for work....I am sure that is it!! He is sexier than ever right now...how I love my hottie hubby. He really is dreamy.

Me: "Evelyn Please stop hitting Lyla....Evelyn Please stop hitting Lyla....TIMEOUT!! Evelyn: "Stop screaming at me, you hurt my feelings, you have not been nice to me today, you don't have to talk to me like that"! (as she is crying) Oh ya this happens whenever I ask tell her to do anything. It breaks my heart and I feel awful. It's not like I lose it I just give her warnings she doesn't listen to, so I raise my voice. OH boy she is hard to handle/figure out lately. I explain to her that if she would listen when I ask nicely I won't scare her with my voice. Ba humbug...

While looking at a wedding photo: Evelyn "Mom why is Aunt Kylee kissing daddy in this picture?" Me:"That is not Aunt Kylee it's me we look lots alike huh?" Evelyn: "Wow that is really weird, she looks just like you". (yes she does)

When someone is being really bad: Me " I am calling Santa Clause.................Evelyn "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! I will listen now"! Oh how I love using this tactic. Too bad it doesn't work this good year round.

"shooba dad ma la bega blah blah blah". -Lyla (when she is pointing at something.

Imagine hearing the loudest highest pitched scream ever: "SCREAM"!! -Lyla About 20 times a day...makes my ears hurt. When she gets mad or wants something it usually happens.
