An excellent question!

The other day, Olivia was walking all around the house with a pile of blank papers and writing lines upon lines of nothing. When I asked her what she was doing, she replied, "Oh, I have to do this to save money for our school." Not really understanding, I asked her how writing lines on a paper was supposed to help save money for her school. She paused and pointed her pen at me and said, "Mom....that is an excellent question. I really don't know."

At least she's honest.

Finders keepers...

We all know the saying, "Finders keepers, losers weepers." Well...Braden came up with his own version today after discovering something that he intended on keeping. He proudly announced to us all, "Finders keepers, I am a loser!"

Think he got that one a bit wrong...we'll have to work on that one before we let him loose in public!

A Woman's Work Is Never Done

The other morning I was completely surprised by Olivia! One of her favourite things to do is to bring Mommy breakfast in bed. So...in her sneaky little way...she began the preparations for another special Mommy treat! Then, she also surprised me by making breakfast for her brother too. After all this, she finally moved on to making some breakfast for herself. She had this major look of accomplishment at this point and looked at me and said, "Mom, girls can pretty much do everything without tiring!"

Spoken like a true woman! I do believe she will make a wonderful wife and mother some day!
