Sunday Prayer

Today Grandma and Grandpa Wessman came with Kevin to retrieve the mini-van. They stayed for dinner and Sarah volunteered to say the prayer. In her prayer she said, "And please help Grandpa that he will get some hair on top of his head..." We all lost it and had great difficulty in maintaining our composure and reverence for the rest of her prayer. There wasn't a dry eye anywhere by the end of the prayer, we were laughing so hard.

mixed up

Once again similar sounding words got mixed up with hilerious results. Today Sarah was going through asking me what my favorite animal was in each of the baby einstein habitats. "What's your favorite animal in the polar region? Mine is the seal. What's your favorite animal in the banana region?" Banana region? I had to think for a minute. Probably the strawberry combo. She meant Savanna and suggested that I like the elephant the best.

Pioneer vrs pineapple

I dressed Sarah in a pioneer outfit my mother made for me when I was little. Afterwards it was family prayer time. Sarah asked Alan to please thank Heavenly Father that she could be a pretty pineapple. It's hard to remember long words like pioneer.

How to make bread

I was making bread this morning and as Sarah watched she told me how to make bread. "First you squish it and then add some flour. Then you do like this and this and make a ball. Then squish it some more and do this and add some more flour."

Another Story

Once upon a time there was a girl named Sarah. If she was good she can give Jesus a love. Then He will give her a blessing and that will be so righteous. The end.

Once upon a time...

Sarah is becoming a story-teller. She will ask if I want her to tell me a story and then she will procede thusly: "Once upon a time there was a baby. Her name was Emmie. She was a good girl. She believed in God and she believed in Jesus. If she were a food she would be spaghetti. The end." Here she is incorporating two common stories that we read to her namely, anything scripture and Julius, Baby of the World. In Julius, Baby of the World, Lily, the older sister, dislikes her baby brother for a time. One day her mother asks Lily to tell the baby a story and Lily does. "Once upon a time there was a baby. His name was Julius. Julius was really a germ. Julius was like dust under your bed. If he was a food, he would be a raisin. A raison tastes like dirt..." So Sarah changed the story for Emmie to include her favorite things. Every story is a little bit different. Today she said, "Once upon a time there was a baby. Her name was Emmie. She was a good baby. She liked both Heavenly Father and Jesus. One day an angel came down and told her to repent. She did. The end."

salad soup

Last night for dinner Alan had brought home some left-over salad from Brick Oven that his department had bought for everyones' lunch. The dressing was in one of those styrophome (sp?) containers and Sarah asked for some soup. We told her it wasn't soup but salad dressing so she said, "May I please have some salad soup on my dressing?" I laughed and repeated it to Alan and she said, "Yes you may," thinking I had asked her. It was very funny at the time.
