Sisi: What does slay mean?
Lija: It means you hit me with a rock.

Seara has become incredibly helpful to me lately. See, my brain just ain't what it used to be. But I recently discovered that if I can't remember something, Seara can. Take the following conversations we've had recently ...

Me: Hey Sease, what is the bad guy called on the Princess and the Frog?
Sease: The Shadow Man.

Me: What are the names of the zoo's rhinos again?
Sease: George and Princess.

Me: Seara, what is it called when you do this [I do a ballet move. Badly.]
Sease: Arabesque.

Gotta love that girl!

The kids after their daddy-child soccer class ended. Elijah told them
he wanted a basketball trophy instead of a soccer one. Whatever.

Asking about the kids soccer class ...

Grandpa: Seara, why did you get the trophy?
Seara: Because we went.

Well, that's about as accurate as you can be. It's surely not for participation! Seara was fine, but Elijah is a bit of a grump sometimes. We keep him around anyway. :)

Me: [pointing to Enoch] Who is this?
Nic: Bean!

After breakfast ...
Lija: Let's watch a movie!
Me: We're not gonna watch a movie. Go play.
Seara: Mom, we just like to think about nothing at all. We want to watch a movie.

I agree with Seara--sometimes I just like to think about nothing at all. Too funny!

Cara said...

Too cute! I can't wait to see your kiddos in person! One week!

Our kids are officially awesome.

Megan - She'd be good at yoga, with the whole thinking about nothing. :)

Cara - WOOHOO! Can't believe it!

Aubrey said...

I love the comment about not wanting to think about anything at all. My middle boy would watch movies all day if I let him.

janae said...

Linds - Seara is like that. She is just so contented with movies!

Aww--what a fun blog you have! (This is Paige's sister Monica--we met at the wedding & I saw your comment on their blog). Your kiddos are soooooo cute. =) I love the drawings!

Seara's comment totally made me laugh out loud. Enoch is already drawing that well? Amazing.

I feel Seara's pain on that last one!

Those are awesome quotes! All of them! But of course...especially the last one. Ender and I can be pretty serious couch potatoes if we try (or...don't try...)
Such cute kids!
