The Things They Say

Weston: I love rocks.
Me: Yes, I know you do!
Weston: I love rocks AND I love for you to pick me up. Those are my deals.
Me: Your...what?
Weston: My deals. My DEALS. So pick me up...deal?

(Where did this come from?)




Luke: That was a hammer bird!
Me: What's a hammer bird?
Luke: It's a bird that carries a hammer around.
Me: Really? I didn't see that bird carrying a hammer.
Luke: Just because you didn't see it, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

 (Philosophy, as thought up by a four-year-old.)

Elsa

After six months of pestering, McMoose finally agreed that perhaps we needed a new canine companion around here. Enter Elsa. She's three-and-a-half months old and will probably complicate life endlessly for the next few months. But, oh, she's so sweet. Luke is boycotting the name Elsa and instead calling her "Cheetah," but Weston is completely delighted with both the puppy and the name and calls her, "Elsa Princess Dog." We didn't mean to name our dog after a Disney princess...we actually meant to name her after a lion from the movie, Born Free. But of course, the princess reference is what gets the most mileage around here. In any case, I'm looking forward to this adventure!

Odd Little Memories

We went to India for two weeks and of course, forgot to take a camera. At some point, I trust that pictures that were taken on other people's cameras will find their way to us. Until then, what we have is this...

Me: Hey, Luke, what was your favorite part about going to India?
Luke: Uh...My favorite part was the crocodile farm in India.
Me: What other things do you remember doing in India?
Luke: The crocodile farm.
Me: But what else?
Luke: The crocodile farm.

A Friend: Weston, what did you see in India?
West: There was food. A lot of food. I ate a lot of food and it was yummy and I ate it all up!

Yep. We're going to have to get our hands on those pictures somehow.
