Conversations with a seven year old

Riley: Nobody is the best singer.

Mommy: What about me?

Riley: Nobody's perfect

{Shopping with Mommy }

If you can't find what you're looking for just give it up and let's go get the water bottles.

{Watching Hollywood Game Night}

Riley: This is so easy

Mommy: I don't hear you answering.

Riley: I'm keeping it in my mind.

Riley: I kept walking into his room with my eyes closed.

Mommy: At least you know you're path in the dark

Riley: I'm a cat in the dark ?

Mommy: No your path in the dark. Why would you be a cat in the dark?

Riley: Cause cats can see in the dark. I'm a cat in the dark and I can scratch good too!
{Scratches Mommy}

Mommy: Ow!

Riley: Mommy you smell good

Mommy: Thank you what do I smell like?

Riley: Goodness!

{After playdate}

Mommy: I just want to point out that you had two friends here with no problems.

Riley: That was God using his magic.

Riley: Mommy I believe in Santa now. We need an elf on the shelf so Santa can see me and know that I'm good.

Conversations with a 6 year old {Holiday Edition}

Dad: {O come all ye faithful plays in Latin} Do you know this song Riley? We used to sing it in church.

Mommy: You sang it in Latin?

Daddy: No haha

Mommy: They are singing it in Latin.

Riley: Mommy, was this in Aladdin 1 or Aladdin 2?!

Riley: Grandparents are special because they save stuff from when you're parents were little

{Referring to my old barbies and toys}

{All I want for Christmas on Radio}

Riley: That's nice.....All I want for Christmas is you!

Riley: Were they sold out of Elsa dresses?

{Conversations with a five year old}

Riley: I need to go to high school

Daddy: You are too young for high school

Riley: But I'm wearing high heels

Riley: Is that Daddy?

Mommy: That was fast..

Riley: Well, he's running

Mommy: Can you help me put my shoes on?

Riley: You can do it I trust you.

Mommy: Riley why are you so crazy and wild?

Riley: I don't know

Mommy: Is it because your brother is coming and you are trying to cling to every last bit of attention you can get?

Riley: YES!

Conversations with a five-year old

{While eating Ribs for Easter Dinner}

Riley: I wasn't meant for messy when I was born

Mommy: Trust me! You are most certainly meant for messy

Mommy: Can you be quiet I can't answer you and listen to to the GPS at the same time

Riley: Are your ears not working today?

Mommy: We need to get our nails done again!

Riley: For real!

Daddy: Ok family! Dinner's ready. I slaved over this dinner all day {he made pizza}

Riley: Don't sass me boy!

{Easter Recap}

We decided to have a quiet Easter this year. Just the three of us and it was so fun! Sometimes I get so caught up in what I should be cooking for easter. Rushing around getting Easter basket items, and stressing out over the overall holiday.
All that is is a distraction. The kids {hopefully} would be happy with a few small items or a few pieces of candy. Riley was more excited for the egg hunt than anything. Even though I bought "Frozen" for her. I was amazed by her lack of enthusiasm there. Maybe she's finally Frozen'd out!

We were off to church for an awesome sermon. Then we went to see heaven is for real. Which turned out to be awesome movie. Death can be such a difficult subject for a lot of people. I feel like this movie is so important because of that reason! Then came home and cooked up some ribs and potatoe salad had our little egg hunt. Then we finished the day with another movie together and strawberry shortcake for dessert.

Hope everyone had a great Easter! He is risen!!

Things I'm loving

I'm loving all the cute things at Target and Old Navy for Riley. I'm not a huge fan of characters on clothes. Honestly I love miniature versions of things I would wear for Riley. She loves them too. She loves to match or coordinate with me all the time. From cute floral rompers to pretty sundresses. And apparently a lot of blue this spring! Here area few of her spring picks. This girls got some style!

I am constantly amazed at the interesting things that come out of this little girls mouth. She is one smart cookie!

Riley: I have a disk in my brain that writes down everything I eat.

Mommy: Really?

Riley: Yep!

Mommy: Do you how you get to heaven.

Riley: You die

Mommy: haha I mean before that. You believe in Jesus and accept him into your heart.

Riley: Right...then you die.

Mommy: haha Yes

Mommy: How much do you love me?

Riley: {opens arms big}

Mommy: That's a lot! Don't you love me more than that? I love you more than anything.

Riley: I love you more than grass!

Mommy: Grass hmmm?

Riley: More than houses, more than signs.

Mommy: I sure hope so!

Conversations with a five - year old

Another new post that I will be doing from time to time. {Conversations with a Five- Year old}

I think we can all agree that "kids say the darndest things". I've always known that. But now I get to live with my own mini comedian to make me laugh. Ask weird, sometimes interesting questions. It's amazing the things that come out of her mouth.

Riley: I know what Goldfish {crackers} are made of.
Mommy: What?
Riley: Cheese and crunchiness.
Mommy: You are absolutely right!
Riley: And spicy sprinkles to make it taste better. {a.k.a salt}

Riley: What are you doing Mommy?
Mommy: Fixing the lines on her belly {photoshopping Maternity Photos}
Riley: How did she get those?
Mommy: From the baby. When your skin stretches.
Riley: How do you get a baby?
Mommy: Uhhhhhhhhhh
Riley: Maybe, when I'm older?
Mommy: Yes! Hahaha

Mommy: You're an expensive date you know. {on our random starbucks date}
Riley: You're the one spending the money here.

After eating a ham steak for dinner.
Riley: {having a meltdown} I need to tell you something
Mommy: What's wrong?
Riley: I ate the fat. I don't want to turn into a pig!
Mommy: You're not going to turn into a pig honey. Where did you get that from?
Riley: What was it? Was it the cheek?
Mommy: No no no. Don't worry about it nothing is going to happen to you.

September, naturally

September has come up pretty fast. Was that not the quickest summer ever? Now we are back in school already. It is of course another of Pre-school except now this year we call it Pre-K. Whatever, she still loves school and is always excited to go. This time the hubs got to go with us! Riley had the same teacher and same room so it wasn't a big deal for her. But she's always been an independent little lady. Wonder where she got that from?
