My friend Sarah recently announced that she is pregnant with her third child. (Yay!)

“Eden do you know that Sarah has a baby in her tummy?”

“She does?! Is it a girl”

“We don’t know yet, we have to wait for the baby to get bigger before we can know if it’s a girl or not. Right now it’s really tiny, but it will grow and grow and when it’s big enough, it will come out of her tummy.”

-Thoughtful pause-

“Does the baby have clothes on?”

“Nope, the baby comes out naked.”

“Well, the baby must be cold then.”

Eden at Tangle:

The other day the kids were at the store with me and a customer asked Eden what she was going to be for Halloween. I told her that we don’t really celebrate Halloween to which Eden replied, “We don’t really like the devil.”

Does God know everything?

Yep.

Why?

Because God it the boss.

I thought you were the boss?

Now that Eden is a little older, we’ve been able to play some games with her. Her favorite game of all times is Dora Candy Land. Oh, how I love Candy Land, let me tell you. We’ve played it so many times and listened to Honor go back and forth over wether he wants to be Backpack or Boots that we thought it was time to find some other games to play. Eden can play Uno pretty well and last night we bought Sorry (Jim’s most favorite game of all time).

The problem with playing games with Jim is that he cheats! Always! And the problem with Eden knowing that Jim cheats is that once in awhile during a conversation, totally not related to playing games, with my mother or a complete stranger Eden will randomly blurt out, “Daddy Cheated.” And THAT is a hard one to recover from.

When Eden went to visit my Grandma with my mom and sister a couple of weeks ago, my sister tried to play some country music in the car (this is why, out of all the channels we have on cable, only the country music channel is blocked.)

Eden announced, “Country music is bad for little kids, kids can’t listen to country music.”

That’s my girl.

The other day I was chatting with Elaine over google chat and she remarked to me, “Lily can do all the cool things that Eden could do when I was there [in October], like pee on the side of the road.”

Yep, that seems about right, the list of my children’s talents will most definitely include some sort of bodily fluid.

The little peanut! Yes, she’s FOUR!

wrapping the yarn – I thought it best to teach her English style.

she’s SO proud

Eden’s knitting

She came and got daddy and said, “Look, I made you out of playdoh.” (All by herself. You might need to click to see the detail.)

And look, her first ponytail.
