Playing Tennis

A few people went to play tennis and took the kids so they could just run around and play. It was a hot day outside. After a while of running and playing in the sun we hear Leila...

Leila: "Dad! I think I'm feverish!"
Dad: " I think you are just hot from the sun."
Leila: "No. I'm feverish!"

Prayer Time

Eden's prayers lately have included...

"Bless that we will not take the Lord's name in vain."

And

"Thank you we can sleep at Grandma Namba's condo so we aren't homeless."

Movies and Scriptures

Leila wanted to watch Toy Story 3 but had to go potty first.

Leila: "I'm going to go potty first, then watch Toy Story....chapter 3....verse 9."

Stinker

Leila drew with marker all over her arms.

Dad:  "Leila. What happened to your arms?"
Leila:  "I drew on them with marker."
Dad:  "Why did you do that?"
Leila:  "Cause mom told me not to."

Stinker...

Only My Kids....

Only my kids play telephone by calling the hospital to schedule a time to get a transplant and to cure osteomyelitis...

Pluto (the one that is no longer a planet)

Eden went to her cousin's birthday party.  They had cake and a few cupcakes.  Eden wanted a cupcake with those large, circle sprinkles on top.  She excitedly came up to me and said,

"Look at this cupcake!  It has little Plutos on it!  Pluto had babies!"

A side note:  Once upon a time Eden learned her planets.
Then we kind of forgot about most of them.
But her favorite was little Pluto...and then it was no longer a planet.
She refuses to believe its not a planet.

Raising Drama

Eden can be such a drama queen.

But I figure that it comes with being a girl....I know that I was the same way when I was little.

The other day, we took a trip to Target and I ended up buying a dollar gift for each of the girls.  Eden wanted these princess rings.  She had ballet later that night and I told her that she shouldn't wear them because they could fall off (they were quite loose on her fingers).  But she INSISTED on wearing one.  I told her, "OK, but if you notice that it gets hard to hold on to the ring then give it to the teacher so you don't lose it."  She agreed.

She ended up giving it to the teacher.

And we forgot the ring and left after ballet class.

After all sorts of drama in the car, there was a little silence...and then....

(Eden starts crying a little)

Eden:  "I'm trying not to cry but I left my ring with my teacher   

The only think with me are my hot candies, 

my blankie, and my tiny little tears!"
