Kayla's Musings



So lately I've been writing down funny things Kayla says and I thought I'd share them with all of you. Every time I get tired or have a long day, she ALWAYS says something to put a smile on my face. Here's a sampling of her witty remarks-

"If people don't eat, they'll die."

I was cutting up Evan's birthday cake and asked her if she would like some. She responds, "Whatever piece you want to give me, I'll eat it!"

Kayla talking to me: "Use your head."
Me: "Don't say that."
Kayla: "Why? Is it not nice to say?"
Me: "No. It's not nice."
Kayla: (with a surprised look on her face) "Then why do you say it to me??"

Kayla also sings ALL the time. She actually stays on key pretty well. Evan has picked up on her talents and likes to sing with her. It's usually quite amusing. Except for the other day at the store when Kayla decides to sing, at the top of her lungs, her new favorite song from the movie Shrek. And I quote- "I like big butts and I cannot lie!" (note to self- limit movie time!)

On yet another shopping trip Kayla was hiding in the clothes racks in her version of the Drive Mom Crazy Game. When I scolded her and tried to pull her out she yells-
"DON'T BEAT ME!"
for all the mall to hear. And yet I still take her shopping. It's a wonder I haven't been reported to CPS.

Those are just a few things she likes to humor us with. Between her and crazy Evan we rarely have a dull moment around our house. Which is why I'm posting at 11 o'clock at night....Off to bed!

Ok-I was laughing so hard as I read the "don't beat me" part! That was hilarious!!!! Although I can't imagine Kayla saying anything like that! She was way to cute yesterday at church too.

hahaha. so funny.
I love that she yelled don't beat me for all to hear. Chloe likes to say ouch ouch when I pick her up when she's doing something wrong. I'm sure people think I'm being mean.

Carissa said...

LOL that's hilarious! Don't you just love it when kids catch you (why do you say it to me?). If it's okay for mommy it must be okay for me ha ha. She's adorable, love the pics.

Talia said...

I know. She always catches me being a bad example. ;) That's when you pull out the old "Do as I say, not as I do." I know, it doesn't really work that way. Too bad, huh?!

Isn't it funny what kids say? I have a book of things my kids have done or said that were really funny or touching ~ some of the things they come up with are so funny!:)! So it was refreshing to see I am not the only one doing that. It is so great to be a mom isn't it? I love my job. I wouldn't trade it for anything! How are you guys? Any plans on moving this way in the near future? Miss ya tons!

Wow what a cute family! Your kids are so adorable. I love the funny little things Kayla says. I don't know where they come up with the stuff, but it cracks me up. Glad you are keeping busy and happy.

Kayla is so pretty!! You are gonna have your hands fool in a few years...as if you don't already right?

Rachel said...

Kayla really is a pretty cute little girl...if only I could have a little girl...I'd want one as cute as her. Seriously, Love her Deep thoughts-- Have had quite a few of those moments with my boys. Isn't it amazing what sort of meaning your life takes on when you have little kids filling your day with things that totally crack you up. BTW...No I'm not adjusting to 3 very well! Marcus hasn't really figured out his schedule yet and so My housework is piling up...ugh. I don't mind having snuggle time with him though, it's only when the snuggle time is over and I look around my house and want to just cry! How long does "I just had a baby" work for an excuse cause it might take me till he's 5 to figure out how to balance it all!
