Mini Corndogs

Ah, those homophones--they can sure be confusing to a kid. Nathan had mini corndogs for lunch the other day, which is one of his favorites. He ate a lot of them, and then asked for me to make more. I told him he'd had enough for one day. Pointing to the package, he said, "But, Mom! Look! It says, 'Mini Corndogs!' You're supposed to have MANY!"

When in Rome...

Taylor was looking in the maps secion of my Bible this evening, and found the map of Paul's missionary journeys. After studying it for a few minutes, he piped up, "Mom, look... Paul went to Rome." I replied, "Yes, that's one of the places Daddy and Mommy are going to visit." He then exclaimed, "Maybe you'll see Paul there!" He was disappointed when I explained that Paul had died a long time ago.

King Jacob

Last night we went to Jacob's grave for Family Home Evening and had a lesson on the Plan of Salvation. We talked about the 3 kingdoms of heaven and said that Jacob has earned the Celestial Kindgom because he died before the age of accountability. Taylor's eyes got really big and he said, "Wow! Is he a king now?!!!" When we started to chuckle, he said, "Well, you said it was a KINGdom!"

Mushy Love Stuff

I gave Matt a quick peck on the lips this evening. Taylor was standing near us and immediately exclaimed, "Ewwwww!" I asked him, "Isn't it good to know Mommy and Daddy love each other?" His response: "No, because you kissed."

You Da Man!

At dinner tonight, Nathan asked me to help him cut some of his food. After I finished, Matt told Nathan to tell Mom " You da man!" Nathan replied, "but Dad, she's a WOMAN!"
