Simon and Garfunkle Gone Awry...

Miss M was pretending to pick plants on one side of the kitchen, then putting the imaginary leaves in a cup on the other side of the kitchen.  And I swear I'm not making this up...

"Here is some parsley...  Here is some sage...  Here is some rosemary...  Here is some salsa."

Starting Young...

One of the nice things about living on a military base is that we can basically turn the girls out to run with the pack of kids, and pretty much trust that they will be fairly safe.  On our first day in our new house, Miss A (5), came running in the door...

"MAMA!  I just saw a flock of boys!!!  Come see!"

Travel Plans...

We recently undertook a big move.  There were many weeks of uncertainty, staying in hotels and with kind relatives, and without the belongings that all of us are accustomed to...  The girls took it well, but keeping them abreast of what was going on when we didn't usually know ourselves was challenging!

Miss M:  "Where are we going?"
Mama:  "We are driving to New Orleans and then Daddy will drop us off at the hotel and we will say goodbye to Sally Boy (our car, named by Miss A a couple years ago).  Because Sally Boy has to cross the ocean on a boat.  And then we will spend the night at the hotel, then the next day we will get on the plane.  We will fly on the plane for two days, and then we will get to Guam."
Miss M:  "Uh...  How bout five minutes on the plane."

Miss A Randomness

"Mom, is it ok if I slobber on my animals?"

My last name is ..... but my real name is Cinderella."

Daddy Capabilities...

Miss M:  "Look at the moon!  I can't reach it.  Daddy would have to get a tall ladder."
Miss A:  "Daddy couldn't get it with a ladder.  He would need a tall rocket ship.  A big tall rocket ship.  Not made of legos."

Miss M Randomness...

"I don't like to cut alligators.  But you can't cut alligators.  Only Miss M can cut alligators."

Her favorite underwear has "pole-ka-la-dots."

"Mama, do kangaroos eat carrots?"

Mama:  "We need to wash your dirty body."
Miss M:  "Actually... playing would be much better."

Primary Songs Gone Awry...

In our church, Miss A is learning a song that goes like this:  "I will work, I will pray, I will always walk in His way..."  Miss M's version is slightly different, although sung to the same tune...  "I will hold hot soup.  I will burn your fingers.  I will hold Buzz.  I will hold Jessie..."
