too funny to wait for friday


while on a walk, eben picked a flower and used it as a lightsaber with his cousin, carson. Obviously the flower didn't hold up to well and all the petals fell off, so eben decided he didn't need it any more and threw it into the lake. his other cousin, reid (who treasured her flower on the walk and kept it intact), asked him what happened to his flower and he said, "it wasn't a flower anymore. just a flower handle so i threw it into the water." HA a flower handle - pretty accurate. :)

me: emily jane, do you need help getting the last couple bites?

emily jane: no mommy. you can't help me cuz you're strange.

me: i'm strange?

emily jane: yes mommy, you're strange.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

eben likes to get really close to my ear and whisper "secrets" which aren't really secrets but just silly things like "rattlesnakes have noses" well, emily jane noticed him doing this and then came over close to my ear and went sniff sniff sniff. "mommy, i like to smell you too" :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

at our campfire, emily jane went over and tapped her uncle colby on the shoulder and said in all seriousness,

"uncle colby, fire is HOT."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

on sunday morning, eben went upstairs, saw mimi in her church clothes and announced,

"mimi! i'm going to church too. and i'm taking my belly button with me!"

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

then she turns around and dashes to the bathroom.

and after she completes her task:
