We were leaving Pauline's and the temperature had dropped 10 degrees int he coupe of hours we were there. We talked about how it had dropped 30 degrees over 6 hours the last time we were there. I can't remember his exact words, but Leighton said something about how together with that family we are the 'bringers of the cold' because we are Canadian.
Sat Jan 13
Riley and Roy were talking about people who eat fish eyes, and she said, "They even eat the peoples?!" and we had to spend some time tying to teach her how to pronounce pupils!
Mon Jan 15
Roy had taken Riley to buy some canvases at Michael's to do some painting. When I was telling her to make sure she planned her painting well because we weren't going to keep going back to buy her more all the time, she said, "But we're a buying family." I asked her what a buying family is and what that means. She said, "We always go and buy lots of things all the time." She speaks the truth!
Tues Jan 16
At lunch, Riley said to Roy, "I bet your big stomach can fit all that food."
Tues Jan 16
Roy asked the kids if it was fun outside in the snow/cold/ice, and Leighton answered, "Yeah ... but baby it's cold outside." in a sing-songy voice just like the Christmas carol.
Tues Jan 16
When we were outside in the snow, Leighton said, "There must be a typo in the weather. THIS in Houston is just weird!!!"
Fri Jan 26
Leighton and I were driving on the highway, and he was all of a sudden so interested in a 'really old car' and told me 'it must be from, like, the 1400s!' When I reminded him there weren't any cars in the 1400s, he said, "Ok well at least the 1940s then." When the car drove past us again so I could see it, I was pretty sure it was just from the 80s. Not THAT old! But he kept going on and on about how old it was and that it it was so old that it needed two big, giant rubber bands to even hold it together! They did have some big giant ties of some sort holding the trunk closed, but that's because it was stuffed full of junk and couldn't close at all!
Fri Jan 26
Leighton and I were rushing to meet friends for dinner and I told him he had to change his pants int he car. He was all shy and weird about it, so I told him it's just a funny Mommy-Leighton date thing that he needs to change pants in the car. He said, "Well, I hope when I'm older I don't take off my pants in the car when I'm on a date!" You can probably guess my reaction ... "ME TOO!"
Sun Jan 28
I was reading a book to Riley and the words were 'insect infestation' but I accidentally said '... incest ...' but stopped there and corrected myself. Roy laughed at me! In my defense, this was after dinner and I had finished my glass of wine by then!
Tues Jan 30
Today Leighton asked if we were invited to a party at a friend's house, and I answered him that we were. He said, "Well, yeah, of course, we are VIPs." Oh really, Leighton?!?!
