Quite a Party

Sawyer has this toy that is like an extended arm. It's about 2 or 3ft long and we call it, "The Grabber." Yesterday I had to use "the grabber" to pull Sawyer's underwear out of the chandelier in the foyer.

When I told Kerpatrick about my day's events, he replied, "Sounds like quite a party."

The Flinstones

The other night Kerpatrick and I were invited to a Halloween party. I was Wilma and he was Fred Flinstone.

Tonight I was talking to Maddy trying to get her ready for school tomorrow. She has a Halloween party and the instructions were that each child should dress as a character from a book and bring that book in.

I suggested Maddy be Dorothy and take in The Wizard of Oz book. She replied that she wanted to wear my Wilma costume. I politely told her that she couldn't wear it. Maddy then said, "Why not? It's a character." I said, "Yes, you are correct, but it's not a character from a book."

Maddy then said, "Oh, yeah.....she's just a character from a cereal box."

Speak Up

We were having a nice drive home from church yesterday morning when Maddy started her philosophical monologue. She started asking us difficult questions about God. Maddy stated how she prayed to God and talked to God, but she couldn't hear him talking to her.

Kerpatrick attempted to answer her questions when Sawyer interrupted to say, "Maybe God needs a microphone....."

Magnetism

Maddy came down after her shower the other night and asked if she could watch tv. I said that she could; however, she needed to clean up the mess she had made earlier.

Surprisingly, Maddy did so without any complaining. She was doing such a great job of cleaning that I said to her, "I guess you can turn on the tv while you are picking up the last couple of things because you are doing such a nice job!"

She turned to me and said, "Wellllllllll, I better not. Um.....I'm sort of magnetic when it comes to the tv. I am definitely more magnetic to the tv than cleaning so I better just finish and then I can turn it on."

Sushi Sawyer

The other day I took Sawyer with me to get Sushi take-out. I had made him a lunch, but he insisted on wanting my Sushi. I politely endulged him, but did not have plans to share my delicious lunch. I ordered the California Roll and the Crunch Roll, which was delicious. There wasn't a single Asian in this sushi place, but the food was still fabulous.

When we got home, I broke out my lunch and Sawyer persistently insisted that he wanted some. I gave him a little bit of my California Roll and he almost took off my finger. He kept asking for more. 5 rolls and a Japanese salad later my meal had been devoured by a three year old. What three year old eats sushi????

When the girls came home from school, I told Sawyer to tell the girls what he had for lunch. He smiled and said proudly, "I had origami.....origami fish!"
