I've been trying the swat on the bum with Lindsay from time to time, but she gets me everytime with some variation of. "I don't like that mommy, don't hurt my bottom, that's not nice." Oooh, you got a logical thinker on your hands! Go Lindsay!!

Today Riley told Rosemary that she wanted to "come home tonight, put some beautiful music on, and dance with daddy in his arms." That's my girl!

Daniel: Mommy when I'm a grown up and kiss, will I have a baby?
I'm not ready for my 5 year old to be asking me these questions...he's a lot more curious about this than my David has ever been...or at least more verbal!!!

Last night Justus and I were surfing netflix and I asked him if he wanted to watch Labyrinth or The Dark Crystal. He was obviously not interested. Then he said, "Dad, what was it with muppets when you were a kid? I don't get it."
;D

The Day The Monsters Showed-up A couple weeks ago while I was trying to have an adult conversation, Zigo kept interrupting me with the question, "Did you hear that?" Finally I started to listen as he ran out of sight, made some noise, and then reappeared asking again, "Did hear it this time?" "I did." I told him, "What was it?" "I think it was the monsters." he answered. "Oh really!" my adult conversation was over. "Yeah I think it was the monsters Mami." "Where are they at?" "Up there." Zigo says pointing at the cieling. "In the attic?" I clarified. "Yeah, in the attic." he agreed. "I think they're trying to get out." He went off to make more noise and then came back a second later. "Did you here that?" "Was it the monsters?" I decided to go along with the story. "Yeah, the monsters are on the stairs trying to get out. "Really" What do they look like?" Zigo thought about it for a second, "There's a green one and a blue one and a brown one." "Interesting. Are they big or little monsters?" "They're little monsters." "Well at least they're little monsters" I was sure they must be much less scary than big ones. My sister was staring at me from across the table as though I'd lost my mind. "But I'm scared Mami," Zigo insisted. "Don't worry," I assured him, "The door at the bottom of the stairs is closed, they can't get out."
Since then the monsters have made several appearances. One time we were standing by the door to the attic and he told me he was scared because the monsters were trying to get out and not really thinking about it I turned the door handle. "Mami you don't open that door!" he ordered loudly in his bossiest voice (which had developed greatly these past few months.)

A year ago we purchased a car with a sunroof and one day with the sunroof open Zigo pointed outside to the clouds and announced, "the Care Bears live up there." I guess believing in Care Bears is not such a bad thing, but that's when I really started thinking finding a church might be a good idea.
By the way he calls Aletheia the Downstairs Church...cause it's downstairs...

Ha ha. At least that's better than Robin and Laine's kid accidentally calling us "Atheist Christian Fellowship" ;D
