She got our hopes up, briefly.

After only 3 hours of sleep I was awakened at 5am by Jacob. He was crying because he had discovered the top of the snakes tank had caved in on one corner and the snake was gone. When Peyton woke up later and learned what had happened she told us, "I know where Porter is, he's lost!"

Mom was done but the fit wasn't.

I was trying to get Peyton's hair done but she was tired and really throwing a fit. I finally gave up but she continued to scream and cry and even flail on the floor. Micah said, "Peyton, Mommy is done." Peyton promptly screeched back, "I know, I'm not!"

It would be awesome, no more seat covers, just imagine.

Ben called me into the bathroom to tell me, "That would be awesome if girls still didn't have penises but they could stand up to pee and it would go straight into the toilet."

It made my day too!

I was making Peyton's bed when Jacob came into her room and said, "Guess what?! Peyton just came into me in the kitchen and was standing right in front of me and gave me a big hug!" I said, "Oh, did that feel nice?" He said, "It made my day. It was warm and cute."

tiss me, tiss you

Peyton came into our room this morning with a snotty face and said, "Tiss me." I replied, "Kiss you?" She repeated, "tiss me" and then promptly corrected herself and said, (tissue) She wanted me to clean her nose with a tissue!

can't you see that I'm singing here?

Earlier this morning on our walk I was trying to get Peyton to look up at me from her stroller and I kept calling her name. She finally, very testily said to me, "Singing!" I guess she was annoyed with me for interrupting her song.

quarter, penny, what's the difference?

I was taking Tyler's chest measurements so he could order a shoulder brase and Ben wanted Tyler to measure his pinkie afterward. Ben ran into the living room to me and Morgan and said, "Daddy said my pinkie is one and a penny!" Tyler called out from our room, "No, one and a quarter!" Ben said, "Oh yeah, one and a quarter."
