Recent Funnies

Our girls have had us doubled over in laughter lately with their newest antics.

Sophia is the main culprit because she'll totally catch us off guard. She walked in the room the other day while Will was doing push ups, and she said flatly, with a perfect valley-girl accent "Dad....what....are you...doing?" And it's not uncommon to hear her use the same accent and say "Dad....look....what your wife....is doing."

Another time Sophia surprised me is when the girls were playing "family" in their playhouse, and I overheard Sophia saying "Oh no! We're broke, and I haven't learned how to fly an airplane yet. What are we going to do?" I'm assuming she was playing the role of Daddy, and I'm assuming Ally's babbling could be interpreted as "I know! Why don't you stay home home with the kids while I work.";)

And although our entire household has been ridden with sickness of varying degrees, Ally's been by far the sickest. There is nothing funnier to Ally than to see her big sister fall down, so our sweet Sophia spent 20 minutes straight running into walls, throwing herself onto the ground, and pretending to slip, all to help her little sister feel better. The best part was that it worked, and Ally was laughing so hard she had tears running down her little chubby cheeks!

Later that same night, Sophia was struck by a bought of diarrhea, and as is often the case, it was accompanied by lots of gas. She was laughing so hard at all the sounds coming out of her little bottom that I was afraid she was going to fall right off the toilet!

For the first time, Sophia also made up a joke that is actually kinda funny. Sophia: Knock knock Me: Whose there? Sophia: I DON'T TALK TO STRANGERS!

We were watching old videos of Sophia and found an old clip of her "Excited Face" (http://catxfamily.blogspot.com/2008/09/face.html). Ally has already developed some of her own faces, like the Stinkerpot Face and the Evil Face (which was first seen after giving her a fat free Fig Newton instead of a chocolate chip cookie), but we coached her to do a few more.



Sophia loves to try and get Ally to do all of the "faces" during dinner time, which has us all giggling by the end of the meal.
