Annointing

I just overheard Ella in the bathtub say to Erin, "Would you like to be annointed?"

hmmmmm....

Dream Jar

I read a story today that has a solution for bad dreams: Decorate a jar and fill it with slips of paper describing good and funny things to think about. Keep it close to your bed. Then, when the bad dream comes, pull out a paper and read it. Transform your bad dream to good.

So....Ella gave me a list of ideas...happy thoughts to turn around her bad dreams.

12 Ideas for my Drem jar

1. play spy

2. prtending I can be magick with a magick wond

3. prtending the hol wrold is pink

4. I prtend I have a lot of things I pout on my Crismis

5. pritty culrs

6. nise cats

7. if my Burbe dalls wuld dans

8. if my blangcy was magick

9. if Josie (neighbor friend) lived with me

10. if I wr spelled atI (her example for this: atI went to the mall.)

Sneezex and the chocolate moon

Erin called a Kleenex a "Sneezex."

Ella sang a song while eating a chocolate ice cream bar, "This is what the moon would taste like, if it were made of chocolate."

Ella posted the following secret note facing outward on our picture window:

"From:  Ella  To:  a Fare

I wod wot too

have a fare

cum too my

hows tooniyt.

Sta Forevr.

Put sum pixe

Dust on my!

cum with me

evre tim I

go."

Interpretation (in case you have trouble reading):

"From:  Ella  To: A Fairy

I would want to have a fairy come to my house tonight.

Stay forever.  Put some pixie dust on me!

Come with me every time I go."

Play button

Ella: "Erin, the play button is the one with one arrow pointing toward the hand that makes a backwards L"

Edamame

Erin and Ella enjoyed eating their edamame...while stuck to the palms of their hands with mashed potatoes.

FLARP

Erin slept last night with FLARP (translation: greenish yellow slimey substance).

You can guess the results...

Pain in the Butt

Ella said, "That was a pain in the butt."

Mom said, "Ella, that's not polite."

Ella said, "Is that because someone who has a pain in their butt might be offended?"

Erin & the Barbies

Barbie in yellow dress:  "I'm so sad."

Snow White barbie:  "Why?"

Barbie in yellow dress:  "Because my prince likes me, and I don't like my prince!"

Blankie

Erin said, "I want to keep my blanket forever. Even after I die, I want to keep my blanket."

Yum Boogers

I caught Ella eating a booger and said, "Yuck.  Why do you eat your boogers?"

"They taste good," she replied.  "They taste like apples."

Erin's view on life

I asked Erin, "So, what do you think about life?"

Erin replied, "God.  He gives us stuff."

"God did give us Jesus."

Erin cocked her head to the side.  "God gave us Cheezits?"

Cinnamon Roll

Ella and Erin came up to me this morning to explain that the dog had puked on the floor.  Ella then picked up a plastic cinnamon roll from her toy tub and said, "It's kind of this color."  Ewwwwww.

Ella learned about teeth at school apparently

"I think my right incisors are working better than my left incisors, at least with these carrots.  Although, my grinders are working well."

The girls enjoying WiiFit Hoolahooping:

Baby, it's cold outside.

Ella:  "It's like we're in a big, giant refrigerator, Mom."

Doing Dishes

Ella:  "Mom, pretend I'm doing the dishes."

Mom:  "Why?"

Ella:  "Because then you'll be pretend pleased."

Erin's Pillow Commentary:

"Daddy's pillow is made of brick, and Mommy's is made of soft ground."
