Don't you DARE bring that in my house!

Oh great! Now my child likes to catch lizards. Were frogs not good enough? How on earth was that possible? Aren't those little creatures supposed to be fast!?!?

She's so proud of herself.


YUCK!

Deep Theological Thoughts by a 5 Year Old

So tonight at dinner we were talking about Jesus and the devil and all that jazz, and Kylie pipes up and says "so mommy....the guys who killed Jesus, they were good!" I asked her why she thought that and she said "because Jesus needed to die for our sins so they had to kill him".

Whistling Mullet

Both Jonathan and Juliet are learning new ways to whistle.

Still-y and SQUIRMY

As I write this, Jonathan is sleeping soundly with Kylie in her bed and I'm icing the bruises I just acquired since I pretty much got punched out of Ava's bed as she fell asleep tonight. We never lay with the girls when we put them down. We're outnumbered and usually we've got a disaster of a house to clean once they are in bed. Well tonight, Jonathan laid down with Kylie and they were both asleep in a matter of seconds. She had no nap today and he's going on a week and a half of 12+ hour days at work and trying to keep up with school. I told Ava I'd put Juliet to bed, and then came back and lay with her. That girl cracks me up! She cannot sit still! She wiggles, she rolls to one side, then the other, then she itches her face, then she itches her head then she moves her legs, and we repeat this cycle for about 10 minutes. But once she's out, she's OUT...and then she start snoring. All this goes on while Kylie doesn't move a muscle.

Before I forget to document this, Juliet says some pretty cute things these days. One of my favorites is "moi gen". She's saying "more again" and that's the phrase she uses when she wants more of something...that something being playing like tickling or wrestling or chasing. She's been saying it for a while now and I just don't have the heart to correct her.

Sad Spelling

For school today, I'm having Kylie write her spelling words in sentences. The words this week all contain "aw". Her very last sentence went like this:

"Its awful when Daddy's gnawt here".

Gnaw is in fact a spelling word this week too.
