From the Luiken Kids...

Merry Christmas

and Happy New Year!!

That's What He Said.

Our little guy has said some funny things lately..and I don't want to forget them, so you get to read them!

~ After deciding he really, REALLY wanted a Nintendo DS for Christmas (way back in October) Lane would ask for one every.single.day.  I explained to him that that would be something he could ask Santa for but that it was expensive and it wasn't something we would purchasing that day while we were shopping at Wal-Mart.  When we were done shopping, the cashier told me the amount due, I paid, we loaded up the truck and were on our way.  From the backseat Lane spoke up, "Mom, the lady at Wal-mart said 194 dollars...that's more than a DS.  You could have bought me one today!"

~ "Dig, what's your job this week at Preschool?"  Lane:  "I have to wash the weasel!"  {He meant art easel!}

~  Ocassionally, we have cherry or apple turnovers for breakfast before school.  Lane didn't want his right away but later in the morning said, "Mom, I am ready for my apple make-over now."  The funny thing is that Drue asked for an apple flip-over that same morning!

~"Peanut butter sandwiches are so good!  Especially when my best cook, my momma makes them!"

~ While overhearing Ryan and I discuss what kind of carpet we want for the basement, Lane piped in, "Mom, do you want the pokey kind of carpet or the kind that looks like you mowed it?" (berber)

~ While I was washing dishes, Lane runs into the kitchen and yells, "Tanzania's in Africa!"

~ While watching an episode of Little House on the Prairie...Laura dressed up like an orphan and went around to people asking for money to replace the money she was given by fellow Sunday School students but spent before giving it to the pastor. She told the people her mother had died. One of the people she asked for money from recognized her.  "I just saw your mother this morning," said the lady. Laura was caught ina lie. Lane said, "Laura lied.  But she could have just said her mom died after lunch!"  Great.  He's already figuring that kind of stuff out.

~ Drue was talking about a new Junie B. Jones book she brought home. It was called Aloha-ha-ha. Lane heard the title and said, "Speaking of Hawaii...the kids in the Dramatic Play Center, which that means kitchen, were playing they were in Hawaii today." 

~ Working in the basement keeps leading to one project after another.  I told the kids after Ryan had a little plumbing issue that "Daddy opened a whole new can of worms down there."  Dig doesn't like worms.  At all.  "Ok, what about the worms? There are worms in the basement?  What kind of worms?  Where did you open the can of worms? How big?"

~  This morning, I was in the bathroom putting my make-up on.  I was only in a t-shirt & undies.  My 5 year-old little man came in and started poking on the "excess" bum sticking out of my undies and said in a most serious way..."looks like someone needs bigger underwear."  A little too honest there, sweetheart. 

Seriously, what a hoot.
