Ellie, when she wakes up early in the morning: Daddy, is it blue?
She's asking if it's light outside yet but she goes by sky color.
Sunday night we went to the Super Bowl party at church for a while with Walker and Ellie then went to Bob and Kay's to pick up Anderson. Here's as close as I can get to remembering what happened on the way to Bob and Kay's:
Walker: Are we going to the Super Bowl?
Carla: No, we're going to Grandma and Papa's to watch the super bowl on the big TV.
Walker: But I want to go to the real super bowl.
Kurt: You mean like go and sit in the stands and watch like we do the leopards' games?
Walker: Yeah.
Carla: We can't, buddy, it's really far away. We'd have to fly there in an airplane.
Walker: We can fly in an airplane.
Carla: No, it would take too long and it would be too late by the time we got there.
Ellie: I'll flash it up.
Kurt and Carla: Huh?
Ellie: I will flash it up with my Dora flashlight. Then we can fly and turn the wheel on the airplane and go to the super bowl. (see, she had been looking up at the sky and knew it was too dark to fly without her dora flashlight).
Carla: Ellie, you don't have a Dora flashlight.
Ellie: Maybe I'll get one from Santa Claus.
Today, Ellie told Carla she was going to take us to the super bowl in a pink airplane with a pink wheel so we can drive it. Typical woman - takes her 3 days to make up her mind. She probably thought it was a good time to fly because it was blue.
In other news . . .
Carla: Walker, can you help me and get the clothes out of the dryer?
Walker discovers that there's only a shirt in the dryer: Mom, there's only one clo!
Walker, after learning about broken bones from Curious George and how the heart pumps blood from preschool: If you exercise too much you won't have any bones.
We read bible stories to the kids most nights before bed. Last night Ellie really wanted to read "the frogs", which means the 10 plagues on Egypt. At the end of the story, Moses tells Pharoah that the first born sons would die.
Walker: What is "die"?
Kurt: It's, uh . . . well, it's when you go to live in Heaven instead of living down here.
Walker: But when do we come back?
Kurt: Well, you don't. Once you live in Heaven, you stay there.
Walker: But I like this house.
Kurt: Don't worry, Walker, you don't die till you're old.
Walker: How old?
Kurt: Oh, probably 80.
Walker: No, probably four hundred thousand ninety-six.
