Pets or no pets...depends on who you ask

I want a dog...it's no secret. I want a cute little Shorkie Tzu or a Yorkie-poo that can sit in my lap like a cat...since Bob won't let me have one. (Oh, and his really great excuses on why we can't have a cat are really that he just doesn't want one.) I've been working on Bob for quite a while and while I'm gaining some ground...it's not very fast. I've even started working on a list of possible names...Bailey, Arden, Seraphina, Guinevere...so hopefully, one day I'll be ready. Until then, I think I'm going to cave and let the kids get some fish. Gretchen is on my side and wants a dog, but Jaden really wants fish. I think I finally found the perfect tank for us...big enough for the four fish tha they want...not too big so that it takes up too much room. So, once we get it we'll have a fish tank in my kitchen. Oh, and in case Bob is reading this...fish are not pets, no matter what you say.

Isn't she cute!

Funny things the kids says....

Luke: "Mom, I just not that into cleaning."

Luke, after getting out of bed for the fourth time: "My goggy (doggy) needs one more kiss and hug." Yeah, right.

Luke: Asking if he can sleep in Jaden's bed tonight "Pwease...I do anything."

Rachel: "Sometimes I feel like I'm just a Popsicle in a Rachel suit."

Rachel: "Mom, look at that nutcracker. He looks sooo charming."

Me: "How did Luke get hurt?" (asking because he was bleeding and we were on our way to the ER for stitches)
Gretchen: "I pushed him. It was an accident, I think."

Jaden: "After a little bit can we talk about this boyfriend/girlfriend thing again, because I could use all the help I can get." (Lord help me, he's 8.)

Rachel: "Bow chicka bow wow."
Bob: "Where did you hear that?"
Rachel: "I made it up 8 years ago. It made me famous. I was in newspapers all over the land."

Jaden: "Mom, it's the first day of school and Rachel already has a boyfriend."
Me: "Rachel, you have a boyfriend?"
Rachel: "Yes."
Me: "What's his name?"
Rachel: "I don't remember. But he had a red shirt on."

Jaden yells: "Mom, Luke peed on Rachel!"

Rachel: "Mom, Luke is my nemesis."

Gretchen: "I am the master and you should listen to my mouth."

Jaden: "School must be really long in heaven."
Me: "Why?"
Jaden: "Well, if 1000 years is as a day and a day as a 1000 years, that's one long school day."

Rachel: "I can see good in the dark, but I'm not nocturnal."

Me: "Rachel, could you tell Louie to get out of the sandbox if he jumps in?"
Rachel: "Yes, but I don't speak puppy."

Rachel: "Mom, Jesus lives in my heart and I think he's grocery shopping."

Me, to Luke while he's looking in the fridge: "Are you hungry?"
Luke: "Yes, yes, yes!"

Jaden: "Mom, Rachel and Gretchen are being the A word."
Me: "What A word?" (a little concerned)
Jaden: "Annoying"

Rachel, when talking about our latest snail that died: "I think we must have given him too much allergy to eat." (obviously she meant algae)

Gretchen: "Prince Charming's name is Josiah. He is my best friend and I'm going to marry him."

Gretchen: "Mom, I'm the ruler. Say, 'Gretchen, you're the ruler.'"

Jaden: "Did the deer fall down dead or did he just lose an antler?" (after we hit a deer)

Rachel: "there's no brain in my head, it's a green polka-dot idea emergency."

Rachel: "Sometimes people that doesn't have brains don't think." (she doesn't know how right she is :) )

Rachel: "My teacher is going to say, 'oh my, those curls are very unusual.'"

Me: "Gretchen, what's your name?"
Gretchen: "Gretchen Elizabeth Come Here."
