A started singing a song in the car, "I've got a snack in my pocket...." This went on for a while and W joined in singing about various snacks.

W suddenly farted really loud and A immediately switched the lyrics to, "she's got a fart in her pocket..."

W decided to climb into my bed for her nap and annouced gleefully, "Mama, there's a stinky little pig in your bed!"

A and I have been having a lot of discussions about death and dying this week. Out of the blue this evening she says, "We might have bodies that don't fart in heaven."

Bathtime at our house...is a little weird...

I walk out on the deck just in time to hear W say to A, "Thanks for the mice lunch."

I absently say, "I think you mean 'nice'."

She replies, "no, we're cats, I meant mice."

You know how kids will come tattle and say, "Moooommm...she's doing such and such."

A just yelled, "Moooommmmm...W's being flexible!" Apparently she's a little jealous that W can pretty much do the splits and she can't.

W complains to me, "Mama, A is just making noises all the time. Burping, farting, rumbling." A immediately burps in reply.

The girls are playing "5 little ballerinas falling off a stage" rather than 5 little monkeys falling out of bed.

W just got sent to timeout. Afterwards, Daddy asked her what she had learned. With great drama she replied, "Mama just always forgets to cook my shrinky dinks."

Our CrossFit presentation at Classical Conversations.

W comes down and takes a pretend picture of Daddy ...
He says, "thank you, are you a photographer?"
She says "no, I'm a take picturer."

This was after I had to explain to her that I don't like even pretend pictures of me when I'm going to the bathroom.

A has a new expression...describing America's Funniest Home Videos she says, "They were jumping out and tricking people and people were screaming and it was so darn crap funny!"

W announced that she was going to sing her verse tonight. She started to sing, "Hear O Israel..." then paused and yelled, "Hit it, sister!" to which A immediately started playing an air guitar while W sang the rest in a strange sort of William Shatner-esque rhythm."

A and W started gymnastics today and love it. A commented enthusiastically, "that was INCREDIBLY fun!"

I just asked A to make up a sentence using the word "duck". She promptly replied, "The duck was eaten by a moose."

A helped me clean the toliets just now. She was very enthusiastic and said, "anytime you want to clean the potties, I'm there!"

W announced that she was going to sing her verse tonight. She started to sing, "Hear O Israel..." then paused and yelled, "Hit it, sister!" to which A immediately started playing an air guitar while W sang the rest in a strange sort of William Shatner-esque rhythm."

W just came walking into my office with as many dresses as she could hold. I asked her what she was doing. "We need to do some fashion, Mama."

I just showed A this picture and said, "Look, isn't this amazing?" She said, wide-eyed, "Yes, amazingly DANGEROUS!"

A has picked a name for her future CrossFit gym: CrossFit Awesome

I just went in to say goodnight to the girls. They were both huddled up in A's bed. They looked up and me and A said happily, "we were just worshipping together for awhile, then we're going to pray."

I almost teared up!

A says, "W, you are learning about God! Now you can come to the special meetings I have with Him!"

W says, "You shouldn't put sunshine in your mouth. It will burn your whole body."
