On the way down the interstate a few days ago we were discussing trucks and what those trucks might be hauling. The U-Hauls were for furniture, the round ones were for gas but the big rectangle ones, well, I don’t know, stuff like what Wal-Mart sells.
Emma replies in her teacher voice, “Mommy. Wal-Mart has their own trucks which have the Wal-Mart sign on the side.” Heavy emphasis on the phrase ‘which have’. OK, smarty pants.

Emma: Mommy, I want to go to our old church Sunday
Me: Sorry, honey,we’re not going there
Emma: But they don’t have a snack
Me: A snack is not what’s important about church.
Lexi, very intent on getting her point across: Mommy, yes it is because we might get hungry and they don’t have ANY FOOD!!

This is the only thing I caught from my bedroom listening to Lexi from their bedroom:
Emma, when I get to heaven and I can talk to Jesus and I can talk to Mommy and Daddy…I’m going to tell on you!
haha adorable.. oh the joys of an only child.. nobody to ever rat me out! haha.
those are cuteeee though.
One of the great joys awaiting me in Heaven….getting big hugs from Emma & Lexi, sitting down together for a day (a thousand years ) and loving their voices and presence….
At our church, they definitely believe snacks are important…Most Sundays my girls won’t even eat lunch because they’ve eaten half a box of cheezits each…Truth be known, I’m a little discouraged when whoever is supposed to bring snack to our Sunday School class forgets…
I’m sure Matthew and Leila would agree about the importance of snacks…I think that is one of the reasons they love the Bible Church so much…tonnes of food. We don’t have anything like that at the Catholic Church.
I’m with Dwight…I’ll have to be patient, but I love the idea of finding a quiet corner in Heaven to curl up and read stories with Emma and Lexi.
It’s great that you are recording the Emma and Lexi ism’s for posterity…they are going to have the greatest memory boxes ever!
