On the way to church:

Jackson: "Look, Mommy, the sunshine came out! This is our day."

Mia walked into the living room where Eli was laying on the floor. In a sing-songy voice she said "Well, bless his little heart."

At Fazoli's today, Mom brought some croutons to the table.

Jackson: "Well, wook-ey here. Wook-ey here! Wow! Thanks, Nanny."

Mom, Jackson, Mia and I went to Target. Jackson must've said 35,000 words while we were in there. "Mommy, I see VACUUM CLEANERS!! Wook, Mommy, I see Dora! And Thomas! There's the Wiggles! Wook, Mommy, I see a PUMPKIN. Over there is a CHWISTMAS TWEE!"

He talked CONSTANTLY.

Other people were noticing. My ears were exhausted from overload. Whew.

Mia calls a smoothie a "smoodie" and a mermaid a "wermaid."

They're into drawing right now. Jackson draws a lot of little circles, side by side. He also likes to draw clowns. Mia likes drawing rainbows (rows of straight lines) and spiders (a circle with 15 lines around it). I love it.

Jackson sings:

"Shout unto God

Da boice ub twiumph.

Shout unto God

Da boice ub praise.

Shout unto God

Da boice ub twiumph.

We liftcha Name up

We liftcha Name uuuuuup."

Mia was in the bathroom poo-pooing today singing "Joy to the World."

I put Mia in her bed for the night.

"Where's the sun, Mommy?"

"The sun is resting from shining on us all day."

"I wanna touch the sun."

"The sun is too hot. It would burn your finger if you touched it."

"I wanna touch the moon."

"Okay, Mimi, maybe someday we can touch the moon."

""I'll say, 'Hi, Moon!' and I'll tickle the moon!"

Jackson was pressing on the toes of his brown boots as we were getting ready for church, as if checking to see if they fit.

"How do they fit, Jax?" "They fit.....nicely."

Jax calls boxer briefs "boxer greasers" and Five Iron Frenzy "Fire Fire Ernzy".
