The squirrels in Indiana....

We passed by a church's pumpkin sale today and Anna thought it was pretty cool.

Anna:  I want to get my pumpkin from there.
Me:  We're probably going to get one this weekend from the festival we're going to.
Anna:  I want to paint my pumpkin and put it outside on the porch.
Ken:  And hopefully the squirrels won't eat it.  (we have psycho squirrels in our neighborhood that eat EVERYTHING!)
Anna:  I don't want the squirrels to get it.
Ken:  Well, the only place we could put it where the squirrels can't get it is inside the house, but then nobody could see it.
Anna:  Well, I hope the squirrels go to Indiana where it's hot and won't eat my pumpkin.

Us:  *laughing*

That was random, wasn't it?  :)  Why Indiana and why she thinks it's hot there....that's anyone's guess!  LOL

A couple more funny memories to keep!

A couple days ago, Anna got in big trouble for a succession of things.  Poor kid just kept doing things she shouldn't have been doing!  A little later, as we were getting ready to go shopping, I told Anna that I was sorry I got mad at her, but even when I get mad or tease her about stuff, I still love her and wouldn't ever do anything to really hurt her.....I felt it coming as soon as the words left my mouth....

Anna:  Weellllll.....spanking hurts!
Me:  Yeah, I know, but that's not the kind of "hurt" I'm talking about!  Spanking is supposed to hurt a little so you learn a lesson about what not to do!

Ha!  Leave it to kids to keep you humble!  LOL  :)

Sarah:

After the girls have a bath, it's usually a ritual to bring Anna into her bedroom, spread out her bath towel on the rug and the sprinkle "powdoo" on her (corn starch).  Sarah always watches this closely.

Last night, we sprinkled Anna and as she was rubbing it in, Sarah started crying in demand that she be given the bottle of powder.  So, I gave it to her, thinking she'd just stand there and hold it.  Oh no!  My cutie pie smiled at me then proceeded to the now vacated towel, sat herself down with a self-satisfied smile on her face and started to "shake" powder onto herself and rub it in!  So cute!  She's playing "pretend" already!  That's so cool!!  :)
