Duckwitz's: A Wall!

A Wall!

Here's the first complete wall! Well, almost....the other side needs a little on the top, but it's the first place to make it to the top! We still have to paint the wood on the windows white (sorry Beth, I think hot pink won't happen). We have to paint before it gets below 50 degrees (according to "experts"). If we can really push, I think we can finish on Saturday! Whew!

Sarah... said...: Hey Erika! I just wanted to thank you for that yummy taco soup!! I think I had two bowls of it :) It was SO tasty! I know you guys just got back from a trip and were probably worn out from the holidays. It was super sweet of you to take the time to make us dinner. It meant a lot. Thank you! And Jonny especially loved the sugar cookie mix! That's one of his favorites. HaHa; December 3, 2008 at 10:39 AM

Ashlyn-isms

"Mom! It's a two-headed mailbox!" (After seeing a two-headed snake at the bean museum.)
-4/11

Mom: "I'm glad you're not crying anymore." Ashlyn: "Yeah, my tears are frozen."
-1/10/11

A paper that came back from Ashlyn's church activity: "I love my mom because... she gives me something to eat, she loves me, she takes good care of me, she gets mad when I pee my pants." -4/29/10

Poking at the bone in her arm... Ashlyn: "What's in there?" Mom: "Bones." Ashlyn: "My bones hurt." Pointing at her skin... "Open it!" -3/8/10

Haley-isms

--I randomly said the phrase, "Awesome Blossom!" Haley began to rhyme with it, including "Zawesome." I said, "That's not a word." Haley said it was French. (Riiiiight...) But, she gave a perfect example: "Eet eees Zawesome!" (Spoken with a pretty good French accent and expression!)

--I was helping Haley look for something she lost. She said, "You should know where it is. You have a big brain, I have a medium brain, and Ashlyn has a small brain."

--Talking to her baby boy cousin: "See? It's Hannah Montana. You'll learn about it later,... when you're a girl."

--"I love going shopping with mom! It's my favorite time of year!" (Definitely a girl...)

--"I will tell you what I got you for Mother's Day, if you promise to forget it tomorrow."

--We were talking about how members of family are related. When I told her Greg and Dan were brothers, she said, "That's why they call each other, 'Dude'."

--Haley asking her Aunt, "How old are you?" Aunt replies, "20." Haley excitedly asks, "Then, can you go UNDER WATER?"

--"Do Hanukkah people celebrate Hanukkah?"

--"Mommy! I'm giving Ashlyn a piggy-bank ride!"

--"I want daddy to be a daddy for Halloween. Then we don't have to buy anything." (Since when does she NOT want to buy things?!)

--I made a comment about how fast someone was driving. Haley said, "Maybe their kid is saying, 'Go SUPERfast daddy!' Or maybe they are just late."

--We were about to play a game. Haley left the room saying, "Don't do a peep!" When I asked her, she said that means, "Don't start without me."

--Pointing at a great big American Flag..."The flag is there to tell people on the mountain that there is food here." (Huh?)

--Singing the chorus to a popular missionary hymn: "Awkward, ever Awkward..."

--While making cookies: "I wish Lagoon had a ride called the rolling pin."

--"If we had two heads, we could talk to each other, and play together!"

--"I wish Miley Cyrus could babysit me."

--On the way to her performance on an outdoor stage, Haley sang, "Rain, rain, go away. Come again another day. I need to do my performance. Rain, rain, go away."

--"I want a savings bond for Christmas, so we can buy a toy in 7 years, so 1 dollar can become 5." (Thanks to the movie Alvin and the Chipmunks)

--"Animals can go anywhere. But, they don't go to time-out. That would be silly!"

--Haley wanted me to do several things for her when when I was ALREADY doing something else she had asked for. Exasperated, I said, "I can't do 4 things at once, Haley!" She so wisely said, "An octopus can!"
