Phelps Phamily of Phive: A Family Outing

This is at a great park just 5 minutes from our apartment. The paved trail runs right along this creek. It is a perfect for a Sunday afternoon walk. Connor was very happy to have Dad along.

Kiddo-isms

Looking out the window early one cold November morning,

Ella announced:

"There is FROSTING on top of the CAR!"

-------------------------------

Early morning, election day:

"Ella, go get dressed...we are going to the polls to vote."

Ella runs to find Connor, announcing:

"Connor, Connor, quick, get dressed 'cause Dad says we are going to the NORTH POLE on a BOAT!!!"

-------------------------------

Ella asked "Mom, can I have some gum?"

"No."

"Why?"

"You don't need to have gum everyday. Sometimes we have gum and sometimes we don't..."

A few days later:

"Ella, did you clean up your toys?"

"No"

"Why not?"

"Way-ell, sometimes we clean up an...sometimes...we don't."

Clever, very clever.

---------------------------

Ella, 20 minutes after saying good night:

"Mom, I can't go to sleep.

I have tried 3 times...

'ax-chew-ly' 5 times

an I just can't go to sleep.

-sigh-

I just can't go to sleep."

---------------------------

"Ella, we don't eat frogs"

After taking the toy frog

out of her mouth she said

"I don't eat frogs, I eat SNAKES!"

"Yucky, Ella, snakes are yucky"

To which she replied

"Do they have onions in them?"

-----------------------------------

Connor: "Is it time to go yet?"

Ella, with a sigh: "No...mom is still milkin' Owen."

-----------------------------------

Mom: "You should leave your toy in the car Ella"

Ella: "I pomise I won't lose it. I willy pomise mom"

Connor: "You should listen to mom, Ella so you don't lose your toy."

Ella, in a very motherly voice: "Connor...don't argue with me."

-----------------------------------

All finished with the trash?

"Yep" Connor says.

Did you put trash bags back in the trash cans?

"Well...I decided that that wasn't as important as emptying the trash, so I just emptied and didn't put bags back in."

Oh...I see.

------------------------------------

Allen said to Ella, "Are you my princess?"

"Yep" she said "I an a princess, Connor is Superman, Mommy a princess jussa like-a me and you, Daddy, you are...the BAD GUY!" Giggle giggle giggle

------------------------------------

Ella said with a very big frown "Mom, I don't have a life!"

She was referring to her breakfast cereal...she wasn't quite sure why I couldn't keep a straight face.

------------------------------------

While riding in the car listening to the radio, he asked in all sincerity,

"Why is there only fresh new music on Mondays?"

------------------------------------

Connor: Mom can I have another carrot.

Mom: No wait until dinner. It is almost ready.

Connor: PLEEEEASE

Mom: I said no. Dinner will be ready in two minutes. Don't ask again.

Dad: Connor, what does that mean when mom says that.

Connor (still convinced he was gonna get another carrot): I had better eat the carrot real fast.

------------------------------------

While walking home, Connor asked,

"Mom, after this longcut can we find the shortcut?"

------------------------------------

Connor: Why aren't my feet asleep?

Dad: They still have blood flowing to them.

C: giggle What does that mean?

D: Your blood carries nutrients and oxygen to your feet and that is what keeps them awake.

C: Phhh Da-ad, that is something you only talk to grown ups about.
