Eva Quote: All-Knowing Alan

Some might have seen this one before, but I recently rediscoverd this adorable photo shoot with the two of them, and thought I'd reshare the quote with it here...

e:"Just up past the planets and stars, that where God is, right?"
M:"Uh, I don't really know."
e (mischievously) :"You don't know anything, but I know EVERYTHING!"
M:"Really? And just how did you come to know all these things I don't know?"
e:"Alan taught me."

Somehow I doubt that.

 

 

 

 

 

Eva Quotes: Where Jesus Works, Tuggies, Ahda and Skirtsies

e: "I bet Jesus didn't have time to see the dinosaurs [when He was on earth], He was too busy taking care of people."
M: "You're probably right."

 

e:"Kids are called 'tuggies,' and adults are called 'big turtles taking care of little turtles.' Lady Lage (Tiffany Delage) told me that."

d:"Ahda?"(dre's name for his sister)
e:"I'm right here, I'll sing to you while you get your trim. No worries, I'm not leaving."
...and then she sung a song about hair cuts and Dre and Christmas. It was all very soothing until Sissy picked up the sheers.

e:"We are dancers! Dre's the one who bows, and I skirtsie." (skirtsie glory on bottom right)

 e:"Does Jesus live in my heart?"
M:"Well, I know He works there every day, but I don't know if He's living in there just yet."
e:"I hope He moves in someday... can I have tuna?"

Eva Quote: Wormy is Toooo Cuuute!

M: “Okay, it’s time to stop playing with your gummy worm and eat him.”
e (horrified): “ But I can’t…”
M: “Mommy would like you to finish your dessert, please eat your worm.”
e: (bursts into tears)
M: “That’s quite enough of that…”
e (sobbing): “But I can’t eat him! He’s too cute! He’s just too cuuuuute!”
M: (attempting to her stifle rising laughter) “He’s very cute, yes, but he is also food, and we can’t keep him as a pet or a friend, he’s sticky food that was made to be eaten.”
e: (buries face in hands sobbing)
M (laughing): “Eva…”
e (through sobs): “He’s just tooooo cuuuute and I want to keep him.”
M: “Eva, please regain your self control and listen… how about we take a picture of him for you to save forever.”
e (sniffling): “Okay. But I will still miss him.”

 

She had me print her this photo so she could 'make sure this picture was never lost.' Great.

Eva Quote: Wind and Powerful

 

e (sigh):"I had to come in..."
M:"Oh?"
e:"The wind made me."
M:"What?"
e (indignantly) :"I was TRYING to do my drums, but the wind didn't like it. He kept making me stop because he wanted it peace and quietly."
M:"I'm sorry, dear."
e (woefully):"What should I do? I need to do my drumming!"
M:"I suppose you'll have to wait for a day where the wind has blown away and you can drum without him bothering you."
e:"Yes, I s'pose."

 

 

M:"Woo! Look at that wind!"

e:"That's me!"(blows) "I'm making thewind!"

M:"Hmm, you, huh?"

e:"Yes! I'm very powerful!" (blows)

M:"Oh yeah? How'd you get so powerful?"

e:"God taught me."

M:"Makes sense."

Eva Quote: Magical Clean

M:"e, can you go wash your face, please?"

e:"Yes, Mom."

5 minutes later, e appears and triumphantly shows off a clean face.

e (with hands on hips): "Ta-da! I didn't clean my face!"

M (confused): "What?"

e: "Nope, I DIDN'T clean my face, I use magic!"

M: "Oh yeah? How did that go down?"

e: "I was in the bathroom, and my fairygodmother appeared and swished my face clean with a wave of her wand."

M: "Alright, well, I'm just glad your face is clean."

e (suddenly serious): "That didn't really happen, Mom. I actually wiped my face clean like you said to. I'm just kidding about the magic thing."

M: "Thanks for clarifying."



Eva Quotes: Hazel and No Playsets

e: "When I grow up and have my kids, I'm naming them all Hazel."

M: "Even the boys?"

e: "And I will have six."

M: "What if you are calling your six kids 'Hazel!' and they all come running because you called all their name?"

e: "I wouldn't do that, I would call 'HazelS!' .... THEN they would ALL come."

 

 

e: "When we die, if we go to the bad place, does God leave us?"
M: "Yes, He is not there, that is why it is so bad because all good comes from Him and if He's not there, then nothing good is there."
e (very solemnly): "Yeah, like no play-sets."

Stargazing

M: “Oooh, look at the moon.”

e: “No, no. That’s a star.”

M: “But it’s shaped like a smile…”

e: “It’s a smile-shaped star, silly. They’re all shaped like smiles, you just can’t tell because they’re so far away.”

M: “Really.”

e: “Yes, really. I know about it.”

e: “I cocoa-ed myself.”

M: (laughing)

e: (giggle) ….“No... really.”

 M: “What do you think that sound is?”

e: “ I don’t know, but I do hear a seal somewhere at the faraway ocean.”

M: “A seal? Don’t you think that maybe that’s the neighbors’dog?”

e: “No, it’s a seal. I’m sure about it.”

Eva Quote: Helping with Leaves

 

e: "Where are you going, Daddy?"
D: "Outside to help our neighbors with their leaves."
e: "Well, that's very nice of you."
(later)
e: "That is just so kind of Daddy to help Mr. Wayne and Mr. Mike withtheir yards. What a good man."

All day and all of a sudden, this little guy has been full of words! Of course they're babbly, but there real talking! Loving it. I love that I can soon start quoting his silliness like I do his Sissy's.

Eva Quotes: Just Daddy

Some new or forgotten quotes from Sept/Oct:

 

e: "You don't really play with me much, so how about you play with me today?"
M: "What? We played with acorns yesterday, and jumped in the leaves, and we gardened... remember?"
e: "Well, yes...I remember those ...but I don't actually like it when we play together. I like to play with Daddy. Just Daddy actually."

~~~

M:"Our Daddy is the strongest daddy in the WORLD!"
e (with nose scrunch and condescension) : "Um, there's God."

e: (thoughtful sigh) "You get a peice of crust, get pumpkins, cherries, and seasoning, and you make it. And then more seasoning on the top. ... Oh! And one thing I forgot, you can write this down, toenail polish."
M: "Toenail polish?"
e: "Yes, for the top too."
M: "Okay, I think I got all that... (scribbling) ... here's your recipe."

Eva Quote: Make-Up

Eva woke me early in the morning with crying while we were staying at a friends house. Groggily I wiped her face and asked what was wrong. She suddenly stopped crying as she looked at me concerned,

Me:"Do Mommy's eyes look bad? Yeah, I brought it."

e:(nodding with relief) "Good."
