Cute quotes and some story's.....

When Britton was younger he had some really cute words he would use for certain things. Shayna learned those words from him and continues to use them, she has also added her own words to her vocabulary. Lately I have noticed a lot of Shayna's mispronunciations and decided to blog about them.

Britton first started calling granola bars "gorilla bars" Shayna of course learned that from him. I just recently corrected them and told them it was pronounced gra-no-la. Now they ask for "granilla bars".

Britton used to always say "kweep" instead of keep. Now Shayna say's "kweep" all the time and Britton is constantly saying "no Shay, it's KEEP!" Direct quote from Shayna...."I kweep trying and kweep trying and I just can't say keep right." Notice she said keep the right way at the end.

Another one of Britton's famous words when he was younger was "popelsuck" Any guesses what that word was??????

Now for the words Shayna has come up with on her own. She calls Lagoon "magoons". She wants to go to "magoons" so bad and is so excited to go this year.

We go to Hollywood Connection a lot to let the kids ride the ride and play in the arcade. Shayna calls it "Hollywood Collection".

For Shayna a "Ebow" is an elbow and "extercising" is excerising.

Shay loves to sing and dance. Right now she loves Tori Amos and the song Crucify. The lyrics go "nothing I do is good enough for you, I crucify myself" Shayna sings it like "nothing I do is good enough for you, I'm crusin by myself" I laugh every time she sings it, it's so cute!

I can't believe how opposite my kids are. Shayna is Sassy and feisty and would never back down from confrontation. Britton is sweet, sensitive and lovable and cares almost to much for other peoples feelings. The last couple of days I have had some conversations with the kids, these two stories will show you just how opposite they are.

Shayna......I got upset with Shay the other day over something I can't even remember, I told her if she didn't knock off the attitude she was going to have to go to time out and I would take a toy away from her and she would have to work hard at earning it back. She just looked at me, put her left hand on her hip, put her right hand in the "come here" position and with all the attitude she could muster said "bring it". Can you imagine, she actually said "bring it". Where does she get these things. I actually started to laugh, that's probably why she's not afraid to give me attitude but I couldn't help it. I actually LOVE her personality. As hard as her feisty attitude can be at times I still think she is so cute.

Britton.....We were watching TV and a commercial came on about missing children. Shayna, Tyler and I were all talking not realizing what was on TV and how in tuned Britton had become to it. When the commercial was over Britton asked me if he was missing would I try looking for him. I said "Duh, Britton of course I would look for you" not realizing how deep this question really was for him. When I saw the expression on his face I knew this conversation needed a little more then my flippant remark. He then asked me how long I would look for him, I said I would look until I found him, he then said what if you never found me. I had to explain to him how we would look for him until the day we died, and I would do anything it took to get him back. It made me wonder if some kids that get kidnapped think their parents aren't looking for them. I'm glad we had this conversation because I want my kids to know that we would never give up hope. I don't want them to think they should just give up if, God forbid, something ever was to happen.

When Britton wanted a "popelsuck" he was really asking for a popcycle.....Cute Huh!
