Julia: "Mama."Julia: "Mama."
Nathan (as I poured him some Captain Crunch cereal Lane bought): "SUGAR!!!!" (In this photo, Nathan has put his own brown sugar on some hot cereal, which amounted to be about half of the bag of brown sugar. Notice that you can hardly see the cereal for the sugar!)
Sarah and Nathan were playing with an oppossum puppet, and Nathan was calling it a rat. Sarah: "Can you say 'possum'?" Nathan: "Uh-uh. That's French."
Nathan explained what Daddy does at work: "He does paper... the computer...and goes potty."
One night when I was nursing Julia, Nathan slipped in quietly and said he "forgot something." "What, sweetheart?" I queried. "A kiss." Suddenly the tender moment turned hilarious when Sarah also tiptoed in and Nathan ordered: "Sarah, get back in bed!"
When Lane came home wearing glasses (instead of contacts), the children informed him, "Daddy, you look silly!" I came to his defense, telling them that he looked handsome. They refused my rescue and said, "No, you look silly!"
A while after Great-grandma Mac's funeral (where the casket was open for the viewing), Sarah commented that she must have gotten really "bored" because she had to hold her head really still and couldn't move it.
Nathan: "We live in Wivuhton."
Sarah, to younger, less-wise sibling Nathan: "You'll be better when you're a 3-1/2 -year old."
Sarah was explaining to Grandpa Morley about how the tooth fairy pillow works: "You put the cavities in this hole [pocket], and after a long, long, long, long time you put a penny in it." When Grandpa Morley asked if he could put a penny in it, she told him, "Let's have a quarter instead."
Sarah wondered why Santa would get to our house so late in the night. When I answered that he has to go to homes all over the world, she explained that she had thought he only went to Salt Lake. Her pictures below are of a house with Christmas lights and a cat.
