God made that!

As I was changing channels this morning, looking for something for Emma to watch, I came upon a worship/music channel. It was quiet worship music with calming forest and water scenery. I left it on that channel for a second and Emma, as a matter of factly shouts out: "GOD MADE THAT!"
"You are right Emma, God did make that!" I responded.

LOST

Lost is one of Mommy 's favorite shows. Becky knows it. Everytime it comes on and the letters L-O-S-T appear at the beginning of the show she asks what it says. Recently she remembers and will just shout it out "ooo that says LOST". LOL
Well while driving the babysitter home, she was having a pretend phone call with her. Soon the conversation went like this:
Jayme: "What are you doing Becky?"
"I'm watching TV."
Jayme: "What are you watching?"
"I'm watching LOST!"
"What did you say?"
"I'm watching LOST!"
(mommy in the front seat laughing her head off...)
Jayme: "Oh, well that's kind of a grown up show..."
Mommy: "Becky, do you know who's lost?"
"Oh yeah, the people are lost..."
Mommy: "Where are they lost?"
"They are lost on an island!"
Mommy: "Who's your favorite person from LOST?"
"The lost people, because they are lost and they want to go home."
(Mommy laughing so hard she can't breathe.)

Becky'isms

~
"Mom?"
"Yes honey?"
"I can't wait 'til I'm a mommy, then I'll be cool like you!"

~
"I miss Hannah, I'm sooooo bored without her!"

~
"Becky we're going to do something fun today! Can you guess?"
"Um... clean up the kitchen??"
(trying not to laugh) "No honey, I said we're going to do something fun."
"uhhh... go to the park??!!"
"no, something even more fun than the park!"
(eyes light up) "go to the children's museum???!!!" (I wish I could capture the way she said this in the blog, but it was like we was overwhelmed with excitement and happiness!)
"Yes!!!"
"woohoo!" (dances around)

My turn to be the Mom

Make believe is a common occurance in my house. The girls often fight about who gets to be a dog, who gets to be the mom ect. When playing mom, they don't pretend to be mommy/daughter... they pretend to be mommy/son. I guess they've had enough of being a girl that they want to be a boy??
These are some common mommy/son dialogues:

"Mom I want to go to the park"
"No son, we can't go to the park"
(whinning) "Mom I want to go to the park!"
(voice raised) "No son, we aren't going to the park!"
"son" cries.

"Son, it's time to take a nap."
"son" cries. "I don't want to take a nap, I want to play"
"You stay in bed, and if you get out I'll spank"
"ok mom"
(a few sec later) "It's morning time!" (mom)
"no, I don't want to get up! I'm still tired!" ("son")

Mother's Day Celebration

We had lunch with my family for Mother's Day. On our way to Grandma and Grandpa's house, Becky was asking who all would be there. When she asked about my brother Shae and his wife Lisa and their kids (cousins) Matthew and Hannah, I reminded her that they couldn't come because they are still in India.
"Oh man!" she said, "We are soooo bored without them!"

awwww! she really misses her cousins!

They sure love to color!

A newer biggest hit, (right up there with watching Tom and Jerry!) is coloring. I have quite a few coloring books that I've collected over the years and now I've finally had to get some more as they've completely colored them all! They fight over the whole crayons, and cry if they end up using the broken ones (and they both are the culprits of purposefully breaking them..) Emma even told me (after I discovered her in the kitchen breaking all the rest of the whole crayons instead of coloring as I thought she was) that we needed new ones because these ones were ALL broken.
