Emmieism's

Emmie:  Why does Turner sometimes growl when you try to move him?

Mom:  He's getting older.  Dogs sometimes get ornery when they age.  People do too.

Emmie:  Yeah, like Grandma?  She is ornery about my bangs and outfits.

Emmie:  Why is it okay for me to watch TV, but not my iPad?

Mom:  You seem to have an obsession with your iPad, but not the TV.

Emmie:  Yeah, I do!  Wait.....no I don't!

(a couple days later, and while watching TV)

Emmie:  Hey, why did you turn it off?!?!

Mom:  I just paused it.

Emmie:  Oh, good......NOT that I have an obsession or anything.

Emmie whipped out bubble gum and Mom got excited.  Emmie laughed, "Oh Mom, you're so childish sometimes."

School Worksheet:

My favorite subject in school is....Art because I want to be an artist when I grow up.  Next, Art helps me express myself.  Last, I am best at drawing dogs.

School Worksheet:

A book character I'd like to meet is....Harry Potter.  First, he can use his powers to clean my room.  Next, I could see Hogwarts.  Last, that would mean I could be a witch.

Anya's Birthday Dinner

Emmie's Birthday Dinner

Emmieism's

While Mom was cutting Emmie's nails on the porch, she jumped:

Mom:  Sorry, I had a bug on my leg.

Emmie:  How big?

Mom:  Big enough for me to feel it.

Emmie:  Hah.  I have pants on.  Joke's on the bug!

A few mins later....

Emmie:  Can't we just trim them instead of cut them?

Mom:  If you let me do this more often, yes, but you tend to let them get out of hand.

Emmie:  That's funny.  Out of hand.

While eating a fruity pebble donut:

"The frosting and crunch is like an explosion of goodness."

After Crosley got loose and we spent 5 minutes trying to catch her, we stepped into the house.  Emmie opened the refrigerator and grabbed a soda, "This calls for a nice drink."

Emmie:  What happens if I get arrested because I don't know how to drive when I get older?

Mom:  We will teach you how to drive before you do so, and as long as you're not negligent, you won't get arrested.  For instance, if I slammed on the gas right now and purposefully ran into the car in front of me, I'd get arrested.

Emmie:  What happens to your child if you get arrested?

Mom:  If I get arrested?  Eric, your Dad and Anna would take care of you.

Emmie:  What if you were my only parent?

Mom:  Grandma and Grandpa would take care of you.

Emmie:  Oh, that'd be awesome.  Except the part about you getting arrested.  Or, Grannie Jannie?

Mom:  Yes.

Emmie:  That'd be sick too.  I mean sick as in cool.  Not like, oh, I feel sick.

Emmie chose not to share part of her ice cream with Mom and then randomly started singing:

Emmie:  How do you like me now?  How do you like me now?

Mom:  Less.

Emmie:  That was actually really funny.

New Neighbor

Charlotte moved in up the street from Shaylee and has become another friend in the hood!

Abby's Grad Party

FunFest

After 90 minutes of waiting and watching Emmie play fair games at FunFest, she asked for popcorn on the way out:

Mom:  No, you're going to a sleepover in which they are serving you dinner. I don't want to spoil your dinner.

Emmie:  I thought this was supposed to be FunFest.  Now, it's just Fest.

8 GOING ON 13

Emmie gladly joins for dog walks these days IF she is allowed her iPod in her back pocket:

Banana Split

Sharing a banana split at Parlor City:

Bean Boozled

Aunt Sue and Uncle Bob came to visit G&G.  We had a wonderful Mother's Day Dinner, followed by a mean game of Bean Boozled.  Uncle Bob won; though Aunt Sue swears that he has no taste buds.

BikeRiding

Team Dinner

Prior to NCAA play, we had the Teams over for dinner.  Emmie had an arcade set-up in the basement....bags, hoops, ping-pong, video games, etc.  The players received tickets and then got to spend them on prizes (pixie sticks, gum, etc) at her prize table.
