Lines we don't want to forget

At the dinner table:

Mom: What are you doing Ainsley?

Ainsley: I'm feeding my sippy.

As you can tell she was very serious about it. So stinkin funny.

The other night we were sending the girls to bed without a bedtime story because of the time factor and Reagan was upset. She was crying and Marcus said he would read her one the next night. Reagan responded, "but you haven't read a story in multiple nights." I was dying laughing. She was right. We had skipped two or three nights but who knew she could use the word multiple and in the right context! Needless to say, she got a story.

Today Reagan came and asked for a snack earlier in the morning than usual. I told her we would have a snack in a little while. She replied, "Mom, there is no reason to wait when I am hungry right now!" Again, I was dying laughing. Is she almost 4 or 14? After I agreed that she was probably right and she could have a snack a little early I got out some peanuts. She quickly responded, "I don't even want peanuts. I want cashews." Ainsley came running up behind her wanting "cashews too". It just made me smile. I love that my girls will eat healthy food and love it. (We still had peanuts though. Mom has to be in charge SOME of the time!)

Marcus posted a couple of stories on the family website that I am posting here below:

While the sacrament is being passed at church we usually try to look at pictures of Jesus to help the kids understand the importance of the bread and water. One of the pictures showed Jesus being baptized. I pointed to John the Baptist and asked Reagan who this was. She replied, “Bob the Builder". I guess we need to spend more time in the scriptures. (can we baptize him…Yes we can!)

We have been listening to the Sound of Music the last few weeks. The girls spontaneously burst into song multiple times a day. Their favorite is Do a Deer or Do Re Mi, I am not sure of the actual name. Anyway, the other night Reagan was saying the prayer and went to say the prayer and started with," Do a deer..." She started laughing. I think the first time was unintentional, but she does at least once a day now. (She was also discovered cleaning up a mess downstairs while singing "I am sixteen going on seventeen...")

Another funny story, we had our home teachers over last Monday night to give me a blessing before my eye surgery. I told the girls that the home teachers would place their hands on my head and give me a blessing which is like a prayer so they needed to fold their arms and close their eyes. They did great. After the home teachers left, we said our opening prayer for family home evening. As Brit was praying, I head Ainsley scamper to my side, then felt her jump up on the couch, and place both of her hands on my head as if she was giving me a blessing. We had a pretty good laugh.
