Been collecting some quips since the last installment...Recording their sayings this way will never do them justice (the inflection...the hand gestures...the adorable little impediments...!) but I just get such a kick out of these two wackos. And it's good to remind myself how cute they can be, after wanting to throttle both of them at bedtime most days. (Christmas break- best of times, and longest of times, amiright?) On with the show.....
Pip-speak #1:
Piper {with a stuffed animal under her shirt}: The hospital doctor just called me and said that my baby should fall out at any minute. We gotta go!
Pip-speak #2:
Piper: Peyton's birthday was on Christmas but I don't know what day. Like was it the one-th, the two-th, or on the actual day...?
Piper {sternly, to a stuffed animal}: Come here. We have to have a nose-to-nose..
(after some questioning...it appears to be similar to a face-to-face, and heart-to-heart)
Pip-speak #4:
Daddy: The neighbors got a puppy for Christmas!
Piper: They did? For Christmas? {confused} Like...in their stocking or...?
Pip-speak #5:
Piper {complaining about getting sick}: And now my arm hurts....From catching my sneezes.
Pip-speak #6:
Mama {driving to Christmas Eve church}: Ugh! I forgot Miller's bow tie.
Piper: Well, that's ok. You don't want Miller to be handsomer than the other babies.
Pip-speak #7:
Piper {coming home from preschool with gifts in mid-December}: I can't wait to give Daddy his present.
Mama: Well, I bet he's going to want to open it on Christmas.
Piper {eyeroll}: Oh you parents.
Piper {during a drive around to see Christmas lights}: When it is very fancy of lights we call it a gingerbread house because it looks like candy.
Piper {watching me clean up their accessory drawer}: Mama, we can get rid of the baby bows.
Mama: How come?
Piper: Because you're not going to have any more babies.
Mama: How do you know?
Piper: Because God came and sent me a message while you were looking for Fin's chapstick.
Mama: Oh really...
Piper: Yeah. He and Santa came. It was a very important meeting.
Pip-speak #10:
Piper: I want mommy to sew a shirt for bla bla (her stuffed sheep) because he's always naked.
Daddy: How do you know she can do that?
Piper: Because mama is the best sewer.
Piper: I mean, she sewed us those quilts, and those were not easy.
Pip-speak #11:
Piper {to Fin}: Who was born as a baby first? Me. So I get to pick first. Then you comed, so you get to pick next. Then Miller will just get whatever's left.
Pip-speak #12:
Piper {explaining why she got in trouble earlier for lying}: That day I was cranky and really upset with myself so I said things that really, really, really weren't true.
Pip-speak #13:
Piper {bringing me a pair of sunglasses}: Mama can we tape these on bear? Because he looks super groovy.
Pip-speak #14:
Piper {seeing a box of Lucky Charms cereal at the grocery store}: Mama, when it's the green day...that leprechaun day...can we please get these?
Pip-speak #15:
{playing the animal guessing game}
Daddy: *makes a sqwuaking noise*
Piper: Parrot!
Mama: How did you get that?
Piper: Oh. I just know my birds. Really well.

Finnish #1:{playing the animal guessing game, again.}
Fin: It's purple and pink.
Mama {stumped}: Ummmm... Is it a unicorn?
Fin: No.
Mama: Ok...Is it a pegasus?
Fin: No.
Mama {being ridiculous}: Is it a....magic bear?
Fin {matter of factly}: Yes.
Finnish #2:
Fin: I can't zip this.
Daddy: Do you need a hand?
Fin: I have two hands.
Finnish #3:
Fin: Mouses does like cheese. But sometimes they eat chocolate chip cookies.
Finnish #4:
Daddy: You know, someday you'll be too big for me to pick you up.
Fin: I know. Because I'm going to be Super Man.
Finnish #5:
Fin {feeding snacks to Miller}: He just ate it right out of my hand.
Mama: Like a...like a little...what kind of animal does that?
Fin: I think a skunk.

Dynamic Duo:
{watching the Thanksgiving Day parade}
Piper {sees Kermit the frog}: Hey! look at that green guy!
Fin: Yeah we have him!
Piper: Yeah! It's hermit the crab!
{watching more of the parade}
Mama {sees Snoopy}: Look who's leading the parade!
Fin: Yeah! He's part of snoopydoo!
{making their own parade, throwing toys around like pretend candy}
Mama: There are some weird things in this parade...
Piper: Mama, anything can happen in a parade!
