Listen. I know everyone thinks their kids are cute. I know they’re mostly just cute to us. But in the spirit of that (and the fact that I had zero desire to decorate the house for Christmas today & she got me into it), I’m going to record a few of our conversations here. She made me laugh. Especially with the comment on the basil.
******************************************
Ava: We need to finish the porch today. That’s last on our list.
Me: Do you want to paint the pots then?
Ava: Why do we gotta paint the pots?
Me: Cause they’re blue and they don’t look like Christmas with our wreaths.
Ava: Well then what color are we gonna paint them?
Me: I have a really pretty green and white.
Ava: Reeeealllyyy?? Why can’t we paint the pots red?? For Santa and his big ole belly? Insert sad pouty face here.
**********************************************
yep…this sums it up
Me: Let’s hang the mistletoe.
Ava: Yea let’s hang it!
Me: Do you know what happens under the mistletoe?
Ava: Yeesssss, you fall in loovveeeee.
Me: Slaps hand to forehead.
********************************************
Me: (Quietly placing the garland on the foyer table)
Ava: Whew!! That sure is a lot of basil!
That’s funny!
Kids say the darndest things. She is adorable and so is the dog.
Love this one 🙂 I will check this post again when Christmas approaches
