From the Mouth of Babes

So, my friend Jenny does this thing on her blog where she records cute or funny things that her kids say.  Every time I tell Reed something funny that one of our kids say he says, "You should right it down."  But I never do!  So, Jenny, I'm going to start copying you, and start posting it. I'm going to call it "From the Mouth of Babes," and I'm sure it will be mostly what Macie Says for a while.


-We were in the car driving home from Idaho Falls having a discussion about how when Macie has kids, I will be Grandma Julie, Branson will be uncle Branson, Allie will be Aunt Allie, and Daddy Grandpa Reed.

Macie: "And I'll be a mom, and you can come see me and my baby. Because you'll be lonely when I grow up. You can visit me, because I'll be a mom............I wonder what color phone I will have. Hmm....probably pink.


-We had a discussion one night about veins and blood....at dinner time :)  The next day Macie was running through the house and yells, "Mom, I just felt my blood bouncing, I did!" She had just had water :)



-I was telling Macie that we were going to take a little trip in a while, and that she was going to stay at her Grandma's house for a few nights. I told her I would leave a little gift for every day I was gone. I was thinking like: new watercolors, coloring book, new toothbrush, things like that.  And Macie said, "Ooooh, and I will get a Sleeping Beauty dress, and polly pockets, and......."  I stopped her and told her they wouldn't be big presents, just something little. And she says, "Oh, like a diamond! I love those!" Hmm.....not exactly what I meant :)


-Macie says the cutest prayers, and sometimes they last forever.  The other day she said, "......and please bless we'll be nice to the fairies."


-Macie was giving us an FHE lesson the other week about being kind to each other.  We asked her what it meant to be kind and she said (as Branson was pestering her), "Not hitting, not pushing, not pinching.....all the things Branson is doing right now."  Me and Reed got a kick out of it, because he was doing all those things at the moment.

-Every time we drive to Firth Reed tells Macie and Branson to breath in through their noses really big as we pass the Dairy. Haha, rude I know.  So they do and Reed says, "What do you smell?" Macie yells, "Buffalo Poo!"
