I stole your spot

October 22, 2007 --- While in my bedroom, Thomas came in (while he was supposed to be in bed), and sat on the floor for a few minutes until Chris got up from his spot on the bed - to go to the other room. Upon his return Thomas looked at him and said, " I stole your spot" in the most cute and mischievious voice I've ever heard and then said, " You sit on the floor now" Remember this kid is only 2!!!

You're making mud,

Last night for dinner we had burritos, consisting of tortillas and refried beans, cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and olives. The beans that we were using were really thick and on the dry side, Chris asked howcome they are so dry, and if I had added any water to help smooth them out. I said I hadn't added any and then I proceeded to get a measuring cup with a little bit of water to pour into the beans. Heidi watching close by saw what I was and doing and saw how much water I had poured in, and said, " Now your going to make some mud!" Luckily it wasn't mud that we were eating!!

October 2007 ---- While my children and I were eating dinner, Chris was gone at the temple. We were having hot dogs and tots -- due to their request!! They kept asking for Fry Sauce, (which is something that their Dad makes usually) seeing as how he wasn't home, I tried to make some myself. The kids kept telling me how it didn't look like daddy's and then I tasted it and it tasted fine. Katherine tried it and said well, it's not just like Dad's but it's okay. I said yeah I know it isn't as good as Dad's but it'll work. Katherine came back with a "Dad must have some special ingredient he uses to make it, like spit or something."
