Isaac's Observation

While driving today, Isaac said "Mom! Look at that big hill!"

"Yeah, it is pretty big."

"No!"

"It's not big?"

"No, not pretty! It's big!"

Prayer Requests

Isabelle's teacher found me after church today to tell me about prayer request time. When it was Isabelle's turn for a request she said "well, Daddy is at work this weekend so we should pray that Mom doesn't lose her ever lovin' mind."

Frosted Trees

January 10, 2015

As we pulled into the motel at Downey, Idaho Isabelle looked around and said "Mom, even Tinkerbell's winter fairy friends can't frost a tree that pretty!"

Pepper

Isaac "where da pepper go?"

Me "what pepper?"

Him (pointing to the sugar) "der it is!"

"Honey, that's sugar."

"I want sugar"

"On what?"

"On my bowl."

The 80s?!

I've been taking advantage of this beautiful Saturday morning to introduce the kids to some of the music I grew up on. Of course Isabelle was not thrilled. She asked me "How old is this music?" I said "Some of it is older than me."

She exclaimed, "like from the 80s?!" 

Girls' cute sayings

At 4 am I heard little Ellie calling, "Mama, Mooommmy". I went into her room and asked, "what do you need?"

"More candy"

"Candy?"

"Oh water"

This morning Isabelle says to me, "Mom, did you know that most of the world is not earth?" I asked for clarification and she said, "like, there's way more water than earth". I asked "oh, when did you learn that?" Thinking maybe it was discussed in Sunday School. 

"Just now, this movie has a spinning world at the beginning and I could see it."

Smell funny?

Elijah went running past me and I caught a whiff of a familiar odor. I said "Elijah? Do you smell funny?" 

He stopped midstride, looked at me and breathed heavily through his nose making a sniffing sound.
