The other day, Marie was playing with some polly pockets or little people in a village or something, and they were going to the county courthouse at first I thought to get married. They got there and Marie said for them “well, I was going to vote for Abraham Lincoln, but he’s already dead. So I’m voting for Obama.”

A couple words that Brian says in a cute way: unbrella, becept (except), wip-out (without)

Marie mopped the floor for me tonight! She was having trouble sleeping so she kept sneaking downstairs. On one trip, I was getting ready to mop and she wanted to help so I said sure. She mopped the foyer, kitchen, and mud room with great enthusiasm while I sat at the table and read the comics. I told her how much I enjoyed sitting down and she was happy that she was working and I was not working.

This morning in the car, Marie asked me how people get to heaven. I said we don’t really know because you don’t go until you die, and that some people think your whole body goes and some people think just your spirit goes. (I thought that was pretty good detail for on the fly thinking in the car…I need to go to seminary really to keep up with her). Anyway, she said she knew what happens – God reaches down and picks up your whole body with his hand, takes you up to heaven, and then puts his hand back down on earth. Sounds nice to me!

Brian: I tooted.
Peter: Good for you, Brian.
Laura: Do you have to go potty?
Brian: *giggles* No, I’m just tooting for fun.

Mom, I need some rice that’s in a chicken sock. That’s because I have a man in my foot.

Before quiet time today, Brian insisted on putting his clothes on backwards. Shorts first, then underwear. I’ve been telling him for days that it just doesn’t work like that, but I guess he had to find out for himself. Then he went to his room and got an extra shirt to put on for a hat. Funny!

This morning, Marie came into my room and asked what cheetahs eat. I told her meat. A few minutes later I went into her room and found her cutting a piece of red construction paper into little pieces of “meat” to put in a dish for food for her stuffed animal cheetah.

So, did you know that #3 is on the way???

Apologies if word hasn’t made it to you yet. We just started telling folks Tuesday night. Look for a new category on this site in late January or early February!
