December Quotes

Rylan

(December 3, 2012)
*This may be a bit inappropriate for sensitive readers*
Rylan's school had a yo-yo guy come for an assembly. So now all the kids at school want a yo-yo and apparently if the school sells enough yo-yo's they make their money back plus some (from Ned the yo-yo guy). Rylan said he wanted to use some money from his piggy bank to buy a yo-yo ($10) so today he bought one. He came home and started practicing right away and would barely put that thing down. Tonight he wanted to do a yo-yo show for us. Before his show started he was explaining everything and talking and talking. I noticed he was holding himself like he needed to go potty.
Me: "Do you need to go potty?"
Ry: "No, I'm just touching my yo-yo."
Yeah, his yo-yo was in his pants.

Christian's mom had her baby yesterday! After picking up Rylan from school I asked him if Christian told him about his new baby brother.
Me: "What did they name him?"
Ry: "They gave him a Porchickadees name."
Me (giggling): "A Portuguese name, huh? What is it?"
Ry: "I don't know, something in Porchickadees. Christian didn't know what it was in English. It's just Porchickadees."

We went up to Thanksgiving Point to see the Christmas lights. Since we had to leave our house at 4:30 it was kind of an ordeal for us. We had to pick up Kev from work by 5:00 (right there by Thanksgiving Point), go buy some donuts (and shoes for Tyce because I forgot his and I didn't like his shoes anyways...maybe I forgot them on purpose :), eat our dinner in the car (sandwiches, apple slices and chips) and then meet up with the Doyle fam at 6:30 for our 7:00 trolley ride. We were there a bit early so we looked at the reindeer and the ice sculptor, and the boys just ran around. We enjoyed the trolley ride and the lights as well as the hot chocolate and donuts afterward. When all was said and done we were walking back to the car and Ry said "We came all the way up here for THAT?"

"Did you know when someone tells me it's Christmas then I want  to be nice but if nobody tells me something like that then...I don't really want to be nice."

Later...
Ry: "Do you think I've been good this year?"
Me: "Are you nice to your brothers?"
Ry: "Wellllllll I'm nice to Tyce."
Me: "Do you tease your brothers?"
Ry: "Sometimes I tease Asher."
Me: "Do you obey mommy and daddy?"
Ry: "When it's close to Christmas I do!"

Asher

(December 14, 2012)
Ry: "Mom and Asher, I have a question for you. Actually, not you mom because you already know the answer. Asher, what's more important...getting presents or celebrating Jesus' birth?"
Asher: "Giving presents to Him."
Ry: "That's not a choice. Getting presents or celebrating Jesus' birth?"
Asher: "Wait, I have a question for you. Why did the chicken cross the road?"

We were waiting in the car for Rylan to get out of school. Asher was standing up and suddenly fell onto his bum. He laughed and said "I just sat down really fast!"

Asher: "Don't tell Ry Ry this secret."
Me: "Ok, what's your secret?"
Asher: "I love him."
