More quotes from a funny girl

Gabe took Ellis down to look at the dogs outside the dog park near our house on Saturday. One of the pups ran right up to Ellis (on the other side of the fence) and Ellis said, "Hi puppy! Jesus loves you." She's never said that to us, by the way. :)

I snagged a little tricycle in PERFECT condition from our neighbors trash yesterday and brought it home for Ellis. When I walked in the door with it she exclaimed, "A motorcyle!!"

While I was at work on Saturday, Gabe asked Ellis if she knew where I was. She said, "Mama's at work. She's probably tired." What does that say about me?

We had dinner at our good friends, the Stivers' house the other night. They have two dachshunds and a bull dog (Ellie) with a very charming under-bite. Ellie came to greet Ellis and Ellis said, "She's kinda pretty."

While Ellis and I were at Target the other day, she began telling me not to scare her (she's been saying this to us lately---not sure why, it's not like we ever try to scare her). This then turned into, "Don't scare my cheeks, Mama." "Don't scare my fingers, Mama." "Don't scare my feet."

I put this one on Facebook, but in case you're not a Facebooker, here's another little Ellis quote. Ellis was painting at the kitchen table last week and was nearly done with her masterpiece. I began to wipe up the paint on the table while she was finishing and she said, "Knock it off, Mom." (!!!!) The night before Gabe was tickling her and I told her to tell him to knock it off. That came back to bite me.

This was also on Facebook, but the other morning Ellis kept insisting I spit out my teeth. She was a little frustrated when I didn't do it.

I've got some pictures which I'll try to upload today or tomorrow. She's really shot up lately so all of her pants are now a bit cropped.
