Who Wrote the Dictionary Anyway?

Sometimes my kids come up with words that initially sound hilarious, but after thinking about them, they make perfect sense. For example, when Anna was a little younger, she discovered pistachios. She deemed them "popper nuts."  Makes sense, right? So that's what we call them. Another favorite from Anna's past is "lasterday." I guess that would be a combination of "last night" and "yesterday."

Well, lasterday we were heading out to the park and Kate discovered a new word. Her jacket had been turned inside-out when she'd last taken it off (what's new?) and so, getting frustrated when she couldn't get it on she asked me, "Mom, can you turn this inside-IN?" Works for me!

That is so funny. When Dylan wants to mean "a long time ago," he says "a lot of whole days." So he'll say something like, "Do you remember when we lived in San Diego a lot of whole days?" So cute. And another gorgeous picture of Kate - I love your photography!

Soo funny, amazingly, I've heard lasterday before, I think it's a total kid thing! Abby used to say some pretty funny things, actually, she still says some pretty funny things:)
