Kids Say The Darndest Things

Our kids are always saying things that make us laugh. I thought I would share a few of our recent favorites:

Rachel and Luke were arguing about a baseball while we were coming home from church. Rachel said to Luke, "Be nice! Luke, we are just coming from church where they teach you to love one another." She might have heard that one before from me. At least now I know she can hear me even if she does not listen to me.

I go over the kids Bible verses on our way to Awana on Wednesday nights. I asked Luke what his verse was. He said, " I don't know." I said, "Come on. You do too." He then said, "I don't know. Is it Praise the Lord Matthew 28:20?" Let's just say he had part of it right. Of course, he had a big smile on his face!

Luke has been thinking a lot about heaven lately and asking a lot of questions. He told Chris, "We are probably going to have to take an airplane to get to heaven." A few days later he told me, "I don't want to go to heaven unless you are there too." Rachel has said something very similar to me before. It made me cry when they said it and I start to tear up every time I think about it.

Luke and Rachel have a new saying, "It is like Kate has button, and every time we touch her she screams!" That is about right. She knows how to get your attention.

Not to leave Kate out. Although she is a child of few words she has a few choice phrases. She yells, "Give it me! and No, Amo!" Amo is our dog Amos who always tries to get her food from her. She does, however, gladly share with the dogs once she is done eating by throwing her food on the floor. This is a habit we are really trying to break.

Kate also runs to her Daddy and hugs and kisses his leg when he comes home. It is so sweet! She does not have to say a word, but you know what she is telling him, "I love you Daddy!"
