Gift from God Number Seventeen

Its 9:00pm and I almost missed posting today - 7 hours of weeding. Yes, there were that many weeds to do. So, I'm tired. However, it was glorious, glorious, glorious to be outside watching the clouds come and go and seeing all of the beautiful flowers come up from the dark soil.

Therefore, I've decided to post a photo essay in honor the gifts of Spring and flowers and things that grow too fast.

Funny or Unusual Things My Kids Have Said

March 2012 - D'artagnan was holding our daughter with her head on his chest. He was telling her how much he loves her. "You make my heart sing," he said. "Can you hear it?" Sugar Princess answered, "...sounds more like your stomach."

Aramis has started reading chapter books and is taking them everywhere. We always tell him he will get carsick if he reads them in the car. He and I went to the store. I told him he could bring his book in and read it. I would just put him in the cart. He looked up at me with such concern, "If I read in the cart, won't I get cartsick?"

D'Artagnan was feeling really ill. He could not shake this cold he had. He said, "I think I have pneumonia." A worried Athos looked at him and sincerely said, "Dad, maybe you should go in for an autopsy."

Athos asked, around 8:00pm, if it was correct to say "Buenos Tardes" or "Buenos Noches," because it was getting dark. We went back and forth discussing it for awhile before Porthos just looked at us and said, "I would just say Buenos Aires."

Porthos built a little man out of his Fritos chips tonight. There was a bunch of fritos around the middle. He said, "Look, Mom, my guy, has girdles about his loins."

1st son "Wouldn't it be great if you were born one minute before the start of the millenium?"

2nd son "I used to imagine that when I was in your tummy,
I was naked and sitting in a big chair by a fire, reading a book."

Daughter "I have indian breath." (instead of onion breath)

2nd son "Can I please watch Jane Eyre tonight?"

1st son "The kids at school don't know anything. They don't
even know who Howard Keel is." 2nd son "My favorite songs in order are 1) Copacabana (Barry Manilow) 2) Good Vibrations (Beach Boys) and 3) any by Cat Stevens."
1st son "My favorite songs in order are 1) Fernando (Abba) 2) Baracuda (Heart) and 3) California Girls (Beach Boys)
NOW THAT IS SOME TASTE IN MUSIC!!!!!!
daughter, age 4- (playing Angel Gabriel in the nativity play) "Fear Not! Behold, I bring joy to all the people in the city of David! There's a Savior! He's Christ the Lord!"
