Garrett Says (Part 2)

Here's some new stuff Garrett has come up with in the last few weeks:

Garrett asked me what was in a drawer and I told him office stuff.  He said, "BOR-ING! Office stuff is so boring.  Really.  It's boring."

We were walking past stores at Foothill Village, and Gare was making comments after each store.  This is what he said after we walked past SteinMart, Trade Secrets, Hallmark, and Basket Loft, respectively:  "Too girlish.  Too makeupish.  Too cardish.  Too beautiful."

"Someday we should go to the forest to feed the bunnies some carrots."

"Tarantulas and scorpions are so sneaky. They're like secret agents. Like little monster secret agents."

We were talking about how our cat Bubba (Sebastian) can jump really high and even get on top of the kitchen cupboards.  Garrett said, "Bubba is just like an agent - a cat agent. Wouldn't that be funny. It wouldn't be real though."

After Garrett said something nonsensical, he said, "I'm a goofball. I'm a bunch of goofballs made out of a man!"

"Mom, let me tell you something about dreams.  Dreams aren't real.  Like if you see a zombie coming out of a graveyard at you, you just smack it in the head with a hammer."

Garrett was sitting by Carl on the couch and tooted. Garrett said, "That's okay, I didn't need that toot anyway." (We call farts toots - it sounds nicer to us coming out of a 4 year old's mouth.)

"Colvert makes me so happy. I love him so much. I don't ever want to yard sale him, I just want to keep him forever. And Mom, remember to never yard sale Puppy Thumbie either. Colvert and Puppy Thumbie are my favorites." (His stuffed animals.)

"I love you more than Mars and stars and Earth and the moon and Saturn with the rings around it and a meteorite all mixed together."

His eye is all red from allergies.  Poor baby.

Sunshine and Horses

It was really warm last weekend.  Almost too warm - where is Spring?  Spring in Utah is so weird.  It snows one day and it's 80 degrees two days later.  Garrett, Gordon, and I decided to enjoy the weather and went to a park near our house that has a cute little playground, nice trails for dog and people walking, and even some horses.  Garrett loved feeding grass to the horses, and one of the horses loved him.  He followed Garrett along the fence wherever Garrett went.  He cried for the horses when we left.  It was so sad and cute.  We made a plan to go horseback riding someday soon.

Easter!

We love Easter.  Garrett was excited about getting his Easter basket, and we had a nice dinner with my family and dyed eggs.  Garrett drew a lot of faces on his eggs, so he ended up with a pirate egg, zombie egg, and ninja egg, among others.  Several eggs made their way into Garrett's tummy along the way.  We had a great day.  Happy Easter!
