From the Mouth of Skylie

This first one is my favorite!

Me: "You shouldn't pick your nose and eat your boogers, Sky. It's gross."

Skylie: "No it's not. It's kinda good."

Above is Sklie at the YMCA Halloween Party. This is the first time she's had the courage to play on these big inflatable walls and slides. It took her a while to find the courage to do so, but when she did she loved it and kept going back again and again. I beamed with pride when she stood on top.

While getting the kids dressed in costume for a YMCA Halloween Party Skylie began taking off all her clothes.

Me: "Skylie, keep your panties on."
Skylie looked at me like I was completely clueless: "Mom, swogs (translation: frogs) don't wear panties."

As we cleaned up dinner the other night Skylie opened the fridge door and called out excitedly: "Get in, Kait-win!"

There's a giant inflatable cat on the roof of one of our neighbors. When it's plugged in the cat's really cool--it's head moves around and everything! My kids absolutely love walking past that neighbor's house to check out the Halloween decor. Most of the time the giant cat isn't plugged in and inflated so it's simply a "squished kitty" as Skylie refers to it.

One day after a successful cat spotting Matt walked in from work, Skylie ran to him and exclaimed, "The kitty got blowed up!"

Me: "I love you, Skylie."

Skylie: "No, I don't want you to wove me! Daddy woves me, and you wove Kait-win!"

The above dialogue is a conversation Skylie and I have had on a regular basis for the past month! Not sure why she says that, since Skylie definitely steals more of my time and attention than her sister. Sometimes she'll add, "You can wove me wader."
