Oh dear.

So we were sitting their playing around and I said something to the affect of 'No, that's my daddy' playfully while tickling her. She stops in the middle of laughing. Looks at me and says 'No. You dad dead.' So I say 'yup. he is.' And then she goes on to talk about her 'grandpa grape' that has passed. So I say 'yup. They are both in heaven with Jesus and Heavenly Father.' She sat there thinking and then finally asks 'Jesus? Hev Fader?' So I say 'yup.' And then she says (and it kinda hit me hard) 'Me want to die. Me want to go too.'

So I say 'You can't go until it is your turn.' She seemed to accept that answer just fine....seeing how she has to wait her turn for just about everything. But, wow. I didn't see that one coming out of her mouth.

I am thankful for my religious beliefs.

Oh what do you do in the summer time...even though it is not really summer anymore, since school has started but I decided to post this anyway yeah.

I am thankful that we seemed to have a lot of clouds around this summer. Everytime we were in the car the girls would start spouting what they saw in each cloud formation....and since I was always the one driving I, unfortunately, missed seeing them as my kids see them.

Any takers?

After she stirs the contents of the bucket and adds some more 'ingredients' I hear her yell

'Mermaid Stew is ready!'

hmmmmmm......is that stew made OUT of mermaids or is it just FOR mermaids?

I am grateful for peaceful evenings out in the backyard.

Out of the mouth of babes.

We were watching the movie' Confessions of a Shopaholic' and when the guy and girl kiss at the end we hear Ella say 'Oh yum!'

WHAT IN THE WORLD!?!?!?!?!

Arn't kids supposed to think that stuff is gross?

I am so thankful that she is part of our family, but I think we are in for some trouble with this one.

Maybe I should just brainwash her. ;)

ps. what do you think of how this photo is touched up? Is it too much? Is the brightness in the background too distracting? Anything you would change?
