Give the girl a microphone

Mike came home a little early and in between conference calls hung out with the kids. I was sitting on the stairs nursing Ella when I heard Jujube being sent to time out (which is on the stairs). She sat down beside me and this was our conversation.

K: Why did daddy send you to time out?
Julia: (shrugging her shoulders) I don't know.
K: I think you do. Tell me the truth.
Julia: I don't know. It's a mystery.

Later when playing with her new slinky toy, she proclaimed in response to it's
bounciness, "I can hardly believe my eyes!"

Last week I applied for a job and I didn't get it. Praise Jesus for His plan for me to stay home a little while longer. Otherwise I would miss moments like these!

Jujube is moving into the big girl sizes and I finally found an age appropriate
swimsuit. She wanted to wear it despite the 40-50 degree temps.

All boy...digging for gold nuggets and carelessly wearing a helmet...backwards.
