a few tidbits from yesterday

Nolan:
Mom- if somebody from Asia wanted to go the Washington State Park, they'd have to walk a reaaaaally really far way, right?

So if we're ever in a tornado outside with a bunch of people, we should all just try to run into the house (he is obsessed with tornadoes right now). I mean, everyone except for the old ladies. Old ladies can't run.

aila: looking at a little buddha statue

this is buddha. he has a biiiig betty (belly).
he is eating too much food.

and look at his nibbles (nipples) they are very ouchy.
his nibble could poke you in da eyes.

okay- i'll post a few

Aila looking at a picture that Nolan colored (of Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus in the manger):
He's sleeping in a NEST?!?!?!?

A little dog bit her finger the other day while we were walking to get Nolan from school. She was VERY upset as you can imagine. I was not too happy myself...
She has since referred to the dog as the "mean yittle fuffy dog"

there have been many many more- she is rapidly catching up to the vocabulary of "big brudder"

that would make for some lovely christmas gifts

me talking to aaron: they have called races for 4 states so far. vermont for obama- indiana, west virginia and kentucky for romney.
nolan: romney? who's that? uncle romney??

hahaha- if only i had a long lost uncle romney

Nolan: Mom why do I hurt here and here (pointing at head and arm)? They really are sore!
Me: It's okay. They are just bruises- you'll be fine.
Nolan: This is serious.
Me: Serious? You think we need to amputate?
Nolan: I don't even know what you're saying. Quit speaking Spanish!"

aila

in the car, listening to a song with a lot of percussion:

"listen momma. it sounds like coconuts!"

introducing... aila

well, she's here. my talking little girl- really really talking. in entire paragraphs. and she is funny- just like him. so here is aila's first entry.
she was wrestling around with aaron and got drool on his face.
Aaron: Yuck!
Aila: Is okay daddy. Is just Aila water.
