Piano Performance Test

After Jonah and Thea finished their performance test for piano today, Micah (3) grabbed Jonah's piano book and sat himself down at the piano, opened the book, placed it on the piano, and started to play. The judge and I couldn't stop giggling, so Micah turned around, said: "shh, be nice!", and continued to play. When... he was done he closed the piano book and walked out of the room.

Spring time ambitions

Found Micah (3) laying on the second shelf from the bottom of my greenhouse shelf. When I asked him what he's doing he said: "Growing".

Take it to the Lord in prayer

Jonah asked me not to say AMEN after our bedtime payer so that he can add a few things he would like to pray for. Among his big list of things was: "....and Lord, please protect the people vacationing in Hawaii so that they don't get burnt by lava..."

Sick it to 'im

Thea: "Mom, I bet Satan hates it when you teach us about Jesus. I bet he says: NO! NO! don't tell her that!"

911 Emergencies

Lena: "Mom, I hurt my arm. I'm bleeding! Can you call 911? Can you cut up and apple?"

Later the same day as I was kissing her good night Lena asked: "Mom, can we call Nanny 911? 'Cause we were naughty today."

Young-old v. Old-old

Jonah: "Mom, you're getting old"

Me: "Yes and so are you. We're all getting older"

Jonah: "Yah, but I'm young old and you're old old. Like walking with a cane old" (as he's doing his impression of an old lady walking with a cane)

Me: "I'm not feeding you today!"

Inventing a New Holiday

Thea: "I wish there was a holiday called "Sister Day" ".
