Chloe's random sayings

  • *Chloe was making a craft the other day using our 1 inch miserable poor excuse of a stapler she couldn't get it to work so she picked up the phone to call her daddy and said, "can you pick up a new stapler for us this one is crap-she was right it is crap! sure enough daddy came home with a Pro200 Stapler. daddy to the rescue!
  • *She woke me up at 6:30am the morning of her piano recital and asked if she could practice! crazy little girl :>) gotta love her determination
  • *The other day she told Robert to "chillax" (chill, relax) she's talking all teenage lingo on us! can't believe it!

  • *My sister Dee called the other day and wanted to hang out with Ava. Ava is now in school and told me to tell my sister that she was "not available today but she's available tomorrow" That being said we had to clear Ava's schedule for a meeting with her auntie :>)
  • *The other day Ava and I were at Home Depot. I turned around and she was behind me with her shorts and underwear on the floor. I said "Ava, you can not do that in public. Her reply was this "Well, mom my butt itches!" I guess if you gotta itch you gotta itch!
