(This happened a while ago, and I forgot to write about it. I have to keep it on file so I can bring it up to her children some day!)

Mommy, entering to see Campbell riding her brother's bike in circles in the kitchen, which is an outside toy (duh!)

"Campbell, did Daddy bring that in the house for you?"

"No mommy"

"Did you bring it in? You know that doesn't come in the house"

Campbell pauses, taps chin and says "no, I didn't bring it in."

"Then HOW did it get in here?!"

"There was a great BIG wind that blew it in from outside."  (Bat the eyes, and look as innocent as possible.)

Oh, of course. That seems like a perfectly reasonable explanation Campbell. Someday this will make a great story to tell!

(We then spent some time in the bathroom, having a discussion about how God feels about lying. Judy Rogers has a song that is a great tool for teaching kids about the 7 things God hates.) 

We recently signed the kids up for some activities - Sawyer and Campbell are in a dance class, and LOVE it! And Gracie is in swimming for the first time. Her teachers say she is doing REALLY well for her age. Check it out!

Sawyer, licking off the spoon he'd been using to eat applesauce for lunch "here mommy! I licked it off so good, you don't even have to wash it!" Hahahahahaha! (and yes, we talked about germs, and the spoon went into the dishwasher)
