During Family Home Evening tonight, we were singing a song when suddenly Sally asked what Ava was eating. As dinner food and dishes had been put away previously, the mystery food was, well, as mystery.
S: “Ava, what are you eating?”
A: chomp, chomp, chomp [mouth wide open].
S: “What are you eating, Ava?”
A: chomp, chomp, “jungbabble”, chomp, chomp.
S: “What?!?”
A: [finished chomping] “Pie-apple.”
S: “Where did you get pineapple?”
A: “My pocket.”
S: “Your pocket?”
A: “Put pineapple in my pocket and EAT IT!”
Looks like we are doing laundry tonight.

Grace got out of the shower the other day and proceeded to streak around the house. Sally and Ava followed Grace into the girls room to get them dressed. Grace was up on her bed shaking her little tush in the air. She asked Sally, “Is my bottom cute mama?”
“Yes,” said Sally. “Do you think Ava’s bottom is cute?”
“Yes,” Grace replied.
“Do you think my bottom is cute?”
“Yes,” Grace again replied.
“Do you think Caleb’s bottom is cute?”
Thoughtfully, Grace responded, “No, because his bottom has a tail.”
Just to be clear, Grace thinks the bottom goes from back to the front…

No, we aren’t.
(This is hearsay, but Sally wouldn’t post it.) Grace told Sally that we needed to have one more brother in the family. She said, “but it’s ok mama, all you need to do is poop out another baby brother.”
(The color of the word poop is a nice touch, isn’t it.)

He was 6 lbs 11 oz and 20 inches, but doesn’t have a name yet.
He has nice sized berries to go with his twig.
Let the fun begin.
