Esplin kids

Amy (age 6.5): Lynn! Stop bugging me!!!

Lily (age 2.5, while punching the air with each fist) : Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

(I have no idea where she learned that.)

Amy

"I wouldn't go near you Mr. Stranger. Or any of your stuff. I wouldn't touch you with a 39 and a half foot pole. Not that you're the Grinch or anything... I just don't like people. I'm the Grinch..."
-Jessica, speaking as theoretical proxy for Amy and her stranger anxiety (could be said of any of my kids at age 2)

Pancakes

Lynn: I'm so excited for tomorrow!
Mama: Why are you so excited?
Lynn: Because tomorrow is General Conference!!
Mama: And what is do you think is so exciting about that?
Lynn: We get to eat crepes and Luigian pancakes!!!
Mama: What? 😂

(It's our tradition to eat Norwegian pancakes to honor our Norwegian heritage)
(P.S. I think someone has been playing Luigi on Super Mario Bros a little too much! Lol!)

Lynn

"We have to buy cookies for poop!"
-Lynn, age 3



(We are potty training and he wants chocolate cookies in exchange for pooping.)

At the Fair

At the Grange County Fair, a sign says "Please don't touch the animals."
Jessica: Lynn, don't touch. Don't touch Lynn. No really don't touch. No touching. No touch...

(He touched it.)

Katie says...

Katie said something funny after dinner today. Lynn was saying "Down, down!" since he was done eating and James said, "Oh, you want down Lynn?" and Katie said, "No Daddy, not English. You talk Italiano. Say 'vuoi scendere'!"
