Where I've Been

We just got home from a 10 day family vacation. It was wonderful! It was also Nathan's third birthday yesterday. But I'll get to all that in a day or two - or three. A few fun things to read while you're waiting:

We were passing through Oklahoma City on our way home yesterday.

Me: Look Esther and Nathan! That's the Oklahoma Capitol building.
Esther: Nathan, see the Lowercase building?
Me: What?
Esther: I mean the Uppercase building!

It took me a moment to understand that she thought I had used the word "capital."


Esther learned how to sew a button onto fabric tonight. I was mending a skirt and she asked me to teach her to sew. At first she wanted to make a doll shirt. But I told that was beyond my ability. So we did a button instead. What a good button sewer she is. I think I'll have her sew all the buttons on now!


I promise my son is not swearing when he says "fruck." He's been trying so hard to say "truck" correctly and that's just the way it is coming out right now. We try not to talk about trucks in public anymore after the incident when he saw a toy one in the store and started wildly shouting "fruck!!" Ugh


Esther told me that "gurglers" are bad people that come to your house and steal things while you're running errands. Oh, and bad people eat dirt. Hmmm...

I'm cracking up over the "bad people eat dirt." She is such a hilarious kid! And the uppercase/lowercase building? Oh my goodness. Hilarious and genius. Seriously, it's ridiculous.
Good luck with the whole "fruck" thing -- ahhh... that can get embarrassing!

Yeah, today it was "Look, Mommy! A fire fruck!"
