Kid Stories (Happy Easter Version)

Kate (out of the blue last evening):  Guess what?
Me:  What?
Kate:  The tomb was empty because Jesus is risen!

Amen, Kate!

 Natalie recently had the chance to be "Mary" in her school Easter play.  Such a sweet presentation put on by the kindergartners!

The kids saw an ad for a humongous inflatable water slide/pool thing for the backyard.  They were talking about pooling their money to buy it and then realized that even then, they would not come close to affording it.  Kate came up to me and asked, "Can we have lots and lots of money?"  I told her to ask her dad.  She found Jon downstairs and very seriously asked him the same question.  :)  I have a feeling this won't be the only time in our lives we are asked for "lots of money" from this little girl. 

 What talent!  Perhaps playing his songs upside down will come in useful someday. 

 Sleeping like daddy

 Natalie:  (in reference to Kate) Why don't you ever consequence her?

Natalie handed me yet another card.  I opened it and read it aloud, "I love you, Mommy!"  Natalie said, "That's really the only thing that I know how to spell that's sweet."    :)

Kate was eating a piece of chocolate from her Easter Egg Hunt.  
Me:  One more, but then NO MORE CHOCOLATE for the rest of the day!
Kate: Then can I just have ganilla?  (vanilla) 

The kids took it upon themselves to "clean"/organize the food on the shelves one night.  It might have been a scheme to stay up late.  It worked. 

Kate to Scott:  We've got to find Natalie and punch her in the face!  (Could my sweet 3 year old say such a thing??!)
