Happy Birthday to Gretchen!

How is it that my baby girl is three years old? Gretchen celebrated her third birthday on Mother's Day. We followed all of the normal birthday traditions...and Curt and Vicki came over for dinner.

Gretchen's choice for her birthday dinner was tacos...but since she doesn't know the difference we had fajitas. They were very tasty and since it was Mother's Day...I didn't have to cook.

She was very excited to open her presents...but we made her wait until after dinner. :)

And of course, her morning started with cupcakes for breakfast.

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."
