"Can I take my socks off?  My feet are just begging for air."

While having a stomach bug, Mrs. Lake had given her permission to use the restroom without having a hall pass or asking.  Music is with a different teacher:

Mom:  Were you rushed to use the bathroom at all today?

Emmie:  Yes, during Music.  We're not supposed to use the restroom when we're taking a test.  I was like, please let me use the restroom.  I'm having this issue.

"I must be growing up.  I just peed and filled half the toilet."

Emmie:  Mia just got Mikey (a turtle), and now wants a puppy.

Mom:  What do you think about that?  Should they get her a puppy?

Emmie:  That would be a heap of animals.

While traveling, Crosley was asleep in her kennel....

"Isn't that weird?  Crazy Crosley is sleeping."

Mom:  If I were to write a children's book, will you be my illustrator? 

Emmie:  Sure!

Mom:  That would be a great start for someone that wants to be an artist.

Emmie:  Yeah, but what would the book be about?

Mom:  The message of the book would be about having an "I can" instead of "I can't" attitude.  It would be a life lesson.

Emmie:  No, let's make it something fun, like how to raise a puppy.  And, you have to pay me.  $1 per drawing.

Mom:  How about I pay you a 20% royalty?

Emmie:  What does that mean?

Mom:  For every book that sells, if we make a $5 profit, you get $1.

Emmie:  No, I want $1 for each drawing.

Mom:  I think you'd come out ahead if you were to take the royalty.  

Emmie:  Yeah, but you get $4 for each book, and that's not fair.  I'd have to get $2, or $3 or $4.

Mom:  What was the best part of your school day?

Emmie:  Hearing that we have art tomorrow AND the next day since the Music teacher is busy with the Kindergarten show.

Emmie:  Remember when Crosley had surgery.  What was that for?

Mom:  She had something removed so she can't have puppies.

(conversation about the pet adoption industry trying to control the pet population)

Emmie:  If she could have puppies, who would she have puppies with?

Mom:  We'd have to find a handsome dog for her.

Emmie:  His name would probably be Erickin or Bro.

Mom:  Why Bro?

Emmie:  Because that is a cool name for a boy.

Emmie:  I beat Franklin in a race yesterday.

Mom:  He's really fast, isn't he?

Emmie:  Yeah.  I got a head start and he was still on my tail - if I had a tail of course.

We got a new refrigerator:

Mom:  No magnets on the front of the refrigerator, understand?  They said it would damage the door.

Emmie:  Ok.  Except that one?  

Mom:  That is permanent.  It is the brand of the refrigerator (Whirlpool).

Weekend with Dad & Co.

Mia's Birthday Party

Pinicon Ridge

Emmie 3/4

This morning:

"Emmie 3, the classic, is now out.  She does everything right.  Except sometimes steal candy when she's not supposed to."

(She proceeded to say excuse me after burping, asked to help with work around the house, unloaded groceries, etc.)

Later in the day:

"Emmie 4 isn't out yet.  Emmie 4 will do everything that you want."

While attempting to walk on a curb, 
Eric:  Emmie almost biffed there.

Emmie:  Eric.....Emmie doesn't biff.

Eric:  That sounds like something your Mom would say.
