Julia is disappointed

When I was putting the girls to bed tonight, Julia (3 yrs.) started crying. I asked here what was wrong and she said, "You disappointed me." Not sure what to think of that, I asked how I disappointed her and she responded, "By talking to me." I assured her that I was done talking and she could go to sleep now. That seemed to make her feel much better.

Hold your broken leg this way

Julia can be a pretty funny little girl. Yesterday she said, out of the blue, "I've got a broken leg. This leg is broken because it hurts when I'm walking on it. That's why I have to hold it like this."

Mail man awkwardness

The FEDEX man rang the doorbell and Mindy went to to door holding Honoria, followed by Joey and Dahlia. When Mindy opened the door, she heard Dahlia say, "Hi, cutey pie!"

It took Mindy a second to register, and there was an awkward pause. Then Mindy said to Dahlia, "Heh heh, you were talking to the baby, right?" (which of course she was). The guy chuckled, handed Mindy the package and moved on.

And The World Will Be A Messy Place

While they were driving past some construction, Julia says to Mindy,
"Those guys are making the world so messy!"

I'm lasso proof.

Wounded Pillow

Juila came up with this idea that her pillow at night was "wounded". We finally figured out that she called it wounded when it needed to be fluffed up.

It was hard to keep a straight face when Julia would get a sad face at bed time and say, "Daddy, my pillow is wounded."

More philosophy from Dahlia

"Nothing likes to get killed."
