Hayley and Kate Minter

Kate often makes us laugh with the things she says.

The other day, Grandma Queen’s iPod was sitting on the end table by the couch.  Kate tried to get it, but I told her that she couldn’t play with that, it was Grandma’s.  Kate said, very seriously, “If it’s Grandma’s, it’s mine.”  That really cracked me up.

This morning, like nearly every morning, especially since Halloween, Kate wanted some candy.  She knows she can’t have candy before breakfast, but she always asks anyway.  She took my hands and said, again seriously, “Can I have some candy?  Don’t say no.  Let me have some candy.”  It’s hard to say no to those blue eyes, and it’s even harder not to chew the insides of my cheeks to pieces as I fight not to laugh at what she says.
