Movie Quotes

Our little 3 year old is quite the movie quoting gal. Now, I don't just let her sit and vege in front of the TV 24/7, but she does have her fair share of movies she loves to watch. For a child who is too active to sit through a story book, she sure can pick up on some lines during her favorite films. So I thought it would be fun to see if you can guess which movie her quotes come from. And these are quotes that we hear almost everyday:

1. She reaches out her hand and says, "It's not a shark, it's a hand."

2. Anytime she finds something that resembles a kite she sings, "Let's go fly a kite, up where the air is clear!"

3. And anything that resembles an umbrella (for instance a piece of bread stabbed onto the end of a straw), she yells, "Jane! Michael!" with a much concerned look on her face.

4.When she looks into a hand mirror she says, "Oh no! My father is sick. He maybe died and he's all alone!"

5. When eating cereal, most bites she takes with her eyes shut, she says, "Drum munch." and hick-ups. What the movie really says is "Rum Punch" with a hick-up after wards.

6.With a super serious look she'll say, "Who are you and how did you find me?"

Those are just a few of the many that I can think of at the moment. She is quite the character and this whole blog would be even more fun if you could just hear her quote these lines. She's a fun and funny girl. When ever she says things that we aren't sure where she heard them, we just ask, "which movie is that from?" and she usually can tell us. And now for the answers:
1. Pete's Dragon when the lady finds Pete in the cave.
2. Mary Poppins. The closing song.
3. Mary Poppins when it starts to rain while they are playing in the drawing.
4. Beauty and the Beast when Belle sees her father in the magic mirror.
5. Mary Poppins when Mary is taking her medicine after being in the rain.
6. Tangled. Rapunzel asking Flynn.

Walking In A Winter Wonderland...































Oh yes, it snowed! And not only did we go walking in the winter wonderland, we ran and rolled in it, threw snow balls, made Daddy size snow angels and itty-bitty Avery ones, and even ate some (or alot as Avery did). Avery had a blast. After Dave did his snow angel, she would plop down in every pile she found and get her legs and arms to flappin'. She was thrilled when she learned she could eat it. Once she discovered that, it was about all she would do til her little nose and cheaks were rosey red and her lips wouldn't quite work when she tried to talk. Rainy even joined in the fun chasing Aves around the yard. (Oh, which reminds me, I never mentioned to Aves not to eat yellow snow, oh.)

Turkey Day...





What a great day (or two days) Thanksgiving was. My wonderful in-laws allowed us to stay with my family on Thursday and then meet them on Friday that way we all got a better visit, no traveling from house to house on the day of, and alot more time to eat and rest at one place. It worked out great! And since we will be moving soon, my wonderful mom allowed me to host our family dinner at our very own house. Besides my dry turkey (better luck next year), everything was perfect. And oh, you should have tasted Daves fried turkey! When it was all said and done, it looked as though voltures had gotten a hold of that thing...there wasn't a scrap of meat left on it. We had a total of 24 (or 25 or 26) people (the number changed every time we turned around! We even had a great couple from church join us who were unable to make it home with their family. The only downer was that my sweet DeeDee couldn't join us. She just wasn't feeling well or wanting to chance catching a cold. At Davids' parents house it was yet another tasty meal. We enjoyed watching Aves and Cayla play and did the best we could keeping them away from poor Butch who wasn't feeling well.

Well, my time is limited, so enjoy the picture show...












Jett and Aves conversation at the table:

A "Is yours good, Dett?"

J "Yeah, it's good."

A "Do you like it, Dett?"

J "Do you like it?"

They don't look thrilled to be there but they were so sweet together.




























She was telling Nanny, "You're my best friend."
