Cute Cody Quotes

We went to Costco for dessert tonight.  Blake and Dad shared a chocolate and almonds dipped ice cream bar, while Cody and I enjoyed a frozen yogurt vanilla and chocolate swirl.  We had a wonderful time together and our youngest son made it perfectly delightful.

A young girl, about 18 I'd guess, was standing by a cart.  Our table was about 6 feet away from her.

Cody: grummble, mummble, gggrrr. Unintelligible sounds, coupled with his angry/mean eyes and a little finger pointed in her general direction.

Me: "Cody, say nice words."

Cody: pause...... "Nice words." .....and a cute smile.

We busted up laughing.  Then we kept repeating 'nice words' to each other and busting up again and again.

Cody continued to smile and make shy eyes at her.

Me: "Cody, she's pretty isn't she?"

Cody: "Yeah, nice words."

More busting up... including the pretty girl!

They waved at each other, back and forth, till her mom came around the corner and they started to walk away.

Me:  "Cody, say goodbye."

Cody: "NICE WORDS."


BWWAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Blake's Best Bits

Last night we read from the Book of Mormon and the last word of the last verse that I helped Cody read was "plentifully."
Me speaking to both boys: "Do you know what "plentifully" means?
Blake: "Yeah, it means when you plant stuff in the ground - plant-if....plant-ifly"


Earlier this evening the following exchange happened between Blake and I.

Me: "Sorry sweety, I don't want you playing with this.  I'm going to put it away."
(follows me to the kitchen where I've returned the item to it's place.)
Blake pouting: "Mom, Jesus loves you."
Me: "Yes, He does love me." (I'm thinking what does that have to do with why you're pouting?)
Blake: "But Mom......Jesus doesn't like it when you take away toys."
Me suppressing a laugh: "True, but the screwdriver is not a toy, it's a tool."
Blake: "Oh."

Cute Stuff

I've forgotten to post about some of the cute things the kids have said or done. I have a spare moment to write about some funny things I was reminded of this morning.

The scene: Blake is bothering Cody.

Me: "Blake you're acting crazy. Please stop annoying Cody."

Blake: "Mom, I'm not a crazy guy."

Me: "You're not?"

Blake: "No. I'm just an old guy."

The scene: I'm talking with Blake about letters and the sounds they make.

Me: "What does your brother's name start with?"

Blake: "It's Co-te. (Cody) It start with an 'm'."

The scene: I'm asking Cody what sounds animals make.

Me: "How about.... a bird?"

Cody: "Tweet, tweet, tweet."

Me: "How about...... a frog?"

Cody: "Wibbit, wibbit, wibbit."

Me: "How about.... Buzz Lightyear?"

Cody: "Fshewwwwwwwww." (with flying gestures)

"Ow bow (How about)...... Woody?

Howdy, Howdy, Howdy!"
