Excuses, Excuses

Don't you love all the excuses your kids can come up with once it's bedtime. Here are a few of the ones most frequently used at our house.

I can't go to bed because:

1. I need a drink
2. I need to go to the bathroom
3. I'm scared
4. Chloe's touching my bed
5. Chloe said her bed is comfier than mine
6. Channing won't let me sleep in her bed
7. I'm hungry

Chloe came up with a new one last night:

What are some of the excuses your kids come up with?

That is the cutest thing! I just love Chloe!

Kate said...

I especially love how she say, "Blah, blah, blah. Too cute, but frustrating.

That is so cute! Eden's excuse last night was that her potato bugs (rolly pollies) were breaking the rules and climbing on the walls of her bug catcher. We had to find some of them that she had let out onto the floor...the bug catcher is now in the Garage.

She's so big!! The "blah, blah, blah" that is the best!

Stevie and Meesha said...

She is so dang cute:) BLAH BLAH BLAH was our favorite part...smart girl to come up with something different! Stevie said "Leave it to Chloe to make our day!" and she sure did! Hopefully she had a good night sleep!

I love it! Her tummy tells on her. What a cute girl:)

Abby said...

I am laughing so hard! It just got better and better. I like the impersonation of her tummy telling on her. Such a sincere face, mom--how did she not get away with it?
(BTW, Stella's excuse right now is just crying really loudly--I think she's about to break me...)

That was such a cute post!! I loved all the excuses. So funny! We've had our share of suspicious excuses as well. I laughed out loud at the "blah, blah, blah". She's so grown up. 3 going on 13!!!

Oh my goodness!!! Could she get any cuter? I think not. She is so very clever and dramatic, I love it. I too laughed out loud at the Blah Blah Blah part.
Dace wants to know if that "cute little Chlo Bug" can be his sister? Please, he said!

Burk Family said...

Wow! She is quite a good arguer(sp?) She is such a cutie. We miss you guys. Carter just said, "I miss Channing and Chloe" Thanks for the enocuraging remarks on my photography blog. It means a lot! (tear)

That was so dang cute. I just want to squeeze little Chlo bug. How can you ever get mad at such a cute little face. That excuse was the funniest excuse that I have ever heard, along with the blah blah blah. If she is thinking of that good of an excuse now I can only imagine if we give her a few years what she will come up with.

I think I have Chloe sydrome. It's 11:30 and I don't know how to go to bed, either.

You need to turn that in to AFV! I love that sassy little girl.. I think that is the only time I haven't seen her with perfect hair!

That is so funny. I can't believe you got it on camera.
