My Statuses

I realize that I've been kind of lacking in the posting department, but it's because whenever the kids say something funny or cute, I tend to post it on Facebook.  I always mean to add it to my blog, because this is their "baby book" of sorts, it's just that time tends to get away from me...

Anyway, I decided this afternoon to go back through some of my Facebook statuses and copy and paste into one blog post the ones I want to remember when my kids are teenagers and I want to wring their little necks.

Said today:
Jillian's choice of Trix Yogurt came with a free spoon/fork type thingy... she said, "it's not a spoon, but it's not a fork... it's both!" I told her that they're called "sporks" and she said, "I know. They're from France."

February 27:
Jillian (holding Barbie and Ken): "Do you Ken Mike DeLuca, take this lady, Barbie Jewel Barbin to be your awful wife? Yes? You may kiss Barbie on the lips. *Kissing sounds*"

February 17:
Children of the technology age: When they're playing with toys together, imagining Mario and Spiderman saving Cinderella from Bowser, for instance, and one of them has to go do something, they'll say, "Pause the game for a minute, okay?"


February 16:
For some reason, we were talking about college this morning around the breakfast table. Matt started sobbing and when I asked why, he said because he didn't want to leave me... he wants to live with me forever. No matter how much I reassured him that I'm SURE he'll change his mind someday, he adamantly denied it. I'll have to remind him of this little moment when he's 18 and I'm dropping him off at his dorm. 

February 11:
Me: You know, Arie had her wedding video transferred to DVD at Ritz Camera in Salem. Mark DeLuca: We should definitely do that. Matt: Nooooo!!! Mark: Why not? Matt: Because I don't want to see you guys kissing! DUH!

January 22:
Jillian: "Mumma, I know that you don't like to be fashionable, but you're still really pretty."

January 18:
Was just reading the monthly school newsletter and came to the update that Jillian's teacher writes each month for her class: "We have spent some time talking about the life and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the children felt compelled to disclose some of their “dreams” for the world….." Jillian-My dream is for everyone to love the rainbow unicorn." Other children dream about having no more fighting, or to help the people in the hospital, or to love animals and friends. My daughter dreams of rainbow unicorns.

January 9:
Matt: "Mumma, I love you more than Angry Birds... And God and Jesus and Mario. I even love you more than pancakes." Good to know where I stand. ;)

December 29, 2011:
Jill: "Matthew, if you play with me, I'll give you hundreds and hundreds of dollars from my whole wallet." Apparently the girl has been holding out on me. And, for the record, Matt said he would play with her... but wants the money up front.

Jillian: "How did Santa know I wanted this??? I didn't even know I wanted this!!!"
