Quotes From the Kids

4-18-12
While warming up a mug of water in the microwave for a cup of tea Alaina came up to me and said "Mommy I guarantee you are making some tea!" Then she giggled and repeated herself incessantly because she was so pleased with her clever rhyme.


5-5-12
Alaina went into the bathroom while Steve was in the process of shaving and came back out quickly announcing to Autumn in a very loud and excited voice that "Santa Claus is in the bathroom !"and then I heard her lower her voice and in a hushed whisper she said, "don't worry, it's really just Daddy." As if Autumn might have really thought Santa was in the bathroom?? Oh, this just makes me giggle so much every time I think about it!

6-12-13

I overheard this conversation between Autumn and Alaina as they walked up the steps leading up to under the giant crucifix at "The Cross in the Woods" in Indian River:

Alaina:
(said sincerely, with hands clasped together in prayer)
"I am saying a prayer"
Autumn: "What are you praying about?"
Alaina: "I am praying that Jesus doesn't fall on me!"
