Lauryn: A Bed Like That

Well, for some reason Blogger said I had conflicting edits on my last attempt at this, so I lost it all. Let me try again.
This happened last night. The kids were watching Garfield The Movie. You know, the one where Garfield is CGI and voiced by Bill Murray.
Anyway, in the movie, Garfield has this bed. It is pretty sweet and looks like a human bed with wood frame, etc. It is just smaller and built for Garfield.
Lauryn really liked it, so said to Heather, "If Twilight ever gets bigger and starts talking, we should get him a bed like that." Agreed.
However, I am praying that he never starts talking, because I am sure it is an expensive bed, and he never sleeps in the "pretty sweet" bed we have for him now.

Lauryn: I Don't Give Up

So, this comes from Heather. She had driven the kids home and along the way, Lauryn had dropped a little "jazzy band" and it fell behind the seat. When they got home, Lauryn was very distraught as she could not find the one that had fallen.
Heather and Lauryn went to the back of the van and pulled a few things out and Heather said, "Lauryn, I can't find it." Lauryn responded, "Keep looking, it's very important." Finally, Lauryn said "We need to pull everything out of the van." Heather was not excited about the prospect of having to do that and told Lauryn so.
Lauryn responded, "Mom, it's very special to me. And I don't give up on things that are special to me. So I'm asking you, not to give up."
That's right, that is exactly how she said it. Needless to say, I like her future as a motivational speaker.

Brenan: Ayoutoo

When you tell Brenan you love him, you will get a response much like this: "Ayoutoo." Which as anyone knows, means, I love you too. It is funny, because we'll take the time to say each word one at a time as well, and he says them great and then when we say, I love you Brenan, he says again "Ayoutoo!"

Brenan: It's Soccer

Well, the night was winding down, and it was time for the kids to get their pajamas on and get ready for bed. Of course, Devin invited Lauryn to play some soccer [inside in the family room] and then Brenan. Heather said, "It's time to get your pajamas on." Brenan turned around to where Heather was and said "It's soccer. Okay." and then carried on his way to join the fun. If you've ever heard him say one of his sentences followed by "okay", you'll know how cute and adorable this was. Priceless.
