"Thank You Siri"

I just got a new iPhone with Siri on it.  I'm not a die hard Siri person like some, but I do use it occasionally.

While asking Siri something Eden tells me...

"Mom, Siri is SO nice.  She always answers your questions and you never even say 'please' or 'thank you'.  You should be more polite to Siri."

So, I try to use my kind words...even to Siri...

Leila Makes Me Laugh

Two experiences with Leila these past few days....

The other day I looked over at Leila and she was "reading" a book to Molly.  I thought, "Oh, that's so cute!"  It was a farm animal book that we got from the library.  Then I started to listen to the book.

"The cow says 'baaa'.  

The goat says 'baaa'.  

The horse says 'baaa'."

Oh the stinker...

A few days later Leila was asked to say the prayer.  Part of her prayer...

"And bless us to be good.  

Bless us to be very good.  

Bless us to be the best ever!"

Perhaps she's repenting?

Conversations with Molly

For as little as Molly talks...she sure can communicate.

(Mom's in the bathroom)
(Molly knocks on the door)
Mom:  "Yes?"
Molly:  "DA NA NA DA MA MA DA!"
(Molly knocks again)
Mom:  "I'm going to the bathroom."
Molly:  "DA DA NA NA NA DA MA!"
(Molly knocks again)
Mom:  "Molly, you need to wait until I'm done."
(Molly cries.)

But she's especially good at tattle telling...

Molly:  "Uh oh" (points)
(Mom looks over and sees Leila)
Mom:  "Leila, go clean up please."
(Leila runs back crying)
Molly:  "Uh oh.  WAAH! No."

Jack Johnson

We're riding in the car, listening to Jack Johnson.

Leila:  "That Jack Johnson is a good rock star!"

We Love Our Maintenance Man

One day Eden wanted to ride her bike, but her tire was flat.  The maintenance men in the town homes gladly fill her tires for her.  Eden asked me...

"Mom.  Can we take my bike to get fixed at the high maintenance man?"

I guess he's not just a maintenance man, but a HIGH maintenance man.

Eden's Song

Eden got on top of the kid's table...I mean, "stage" and sang a song.

"It is not easy.  It is very complicated.  And now my cabbage is soggy."

Oh...what a performance.  Encore!  Encore!

Halloween

A hot topic around here is what the kids want to be for Halloween.  Eden has been trying to think of something that comes in three (like the three blind mice or three men in a tub) so she can dress with her, Leila, and Molly.

Dad:  "You guys could just be three of the seven dwarfs.  You could be grumpy, sneezy, and sleepy!"

Eden:  "Yeah, and SNOOPY!"

Yeah, that dwarf never made it in the movie...he got into a LOT of trouble.
