Corrie quotes

[at Steak 'n Shake drive through]

"Steak n Shake is open even at nighttime when it gets dark??"
Yep. They're open allll the time, even in the middle of the night when you're asleep.
(long pause)
"Wow...that's awesome!"

(later at the drive through window)
"I wish I could have a sliding window..."

Corrie, don't pick your nose.
"But I'm not picking my nose, I'm just feeling the bones inside my nose"

Pedicures by Corrie

Paint Corrie's toes?  Sure!  What happens the next day to Mary?  Corrie uses her favorite markers to pretty-up Mary's toes:

And by toes I mean toes. Not toenails - that was so 2009.   I found Mary like this when I got home to wake her up from a nap :)

Corrie quota

We've been lazy with the collecting of quotes from Corrie, and consequently have forgotten many of them.  Here are a couple to get us started up again:

"I'm going to be a cowboy!  ... Oh no, I mean I'm gonna be a cowGIRL!"

(realizing I had a big Adam's apple)
"Dad, it looks like you have a big bubble!"

Feeling... stripe-y?

Corrie picks out her clothes!

birthday pics

So I turned 3 a few days ago.. and some wonderful people chipped in to get me a big stand mixer  :)  I was actually surprised.  We're still working on the cake, so we've postponed the inaugural cookie mixing until we finish all this delicious chocolate cake!  You can tell it's good by the way that elephant is sinking.. Corrie and Mary also painted some scenes for behind the 'birthday chair' (a Peterson tradition of sorts).

Corrie stories

You know what I want when I grow up and be a doctor??"

"I want to have LOTS of kids!"

"A hundred!"
(A hundred?? What will you do with all those kids?)
"Well I will get them lots and lots of chairs, and some kids will sit in a little circle,
and more kids will sit in the next circle behind them, and the next circle and the next..
and they will ALL have a chair!"
