The other morning I woke up to find Macie in our bed. She said “Mommy, I was snardin’.” “What’s that?”
“When you were sleeping, I sneaked in here…I was snardin’”
This morning the kids were talking about dinosaurs. Silas informed us that dinosaurs lived long before we did, but they’re all gone now. He also told us that dinosaurs had very bad eye sight. Macie said “Yeah, they can’t see and they are ugly.”
Recently my mom made Si a sandwich and he specified he did not want peanut butter. She said “Oh, are you done with that peanut butter business?” He said “Yeah, I”m done with that cheese business too!”
Russell took the kids out to get ice cream. The next day Si told me that when they went out, they were listening to “Jasmine” in the car. “Mom, no words just music…Jasmine”
I said “you mean jazz?” He said, “no, jasmine!”
My husband often shows our children pictures of soldiers, tanks, etc. My son loves the soldiers and wants to be a tough soldier. Recently, we went to a military museum and there were some soldiers working on the museum.
One young uniformed man was vacuuming the steps in his fatigues. Macie saw him and said “That’s silly, soldiers cleaning!” I guess she only sees mom vacuuming (and occasionally dad) but never a soldier. More reason to respect them!
Addy’s first tooth broke through yesterday, her bottom left one. I felt it scrape my finger tip when she was gnawing on it!
Unprovoked, Macie says:
“Silas I’m going to pray for you….Lord help Silas to be a good boy. To not be foolish and to be obedient, amen”
Amen girlie 
The other day Silas sneezed about ten times after looking into the sun. He said “when I look up I sneeze and sneeze and sneeze!”
Macie said “When I look up, I yawn. And when I look down, I smell (sniff sniff)”
Our neighbor always locks his car when he gets out of it, and it beeps once. Today Silas said “our neighbor always beeps at me everytime I look out the window”
Today in the store I told Macie not to hide from me. I told her that she needed to stay where I can see her because I don’t want anyone to take her. She quickly replied: “I don’t want anyone to take you, either.”
