Eva was talking to Laura at the mall.  We went there as a reward for everyone having a good day.

This is better than soda!

Eva and I are outside in the snow:

Eva:  Dad!  The snow tastes like mint!
Me:  What does?
Eva:  The snow!
Me:  No it doesn't!
Eva:  Yes it does!  That's why they call it minter!

A few days ago we went to a big train display at a local plant/flower store, the kids were really looking forward to going and had a lot of fun watching the trains weave through the mountains, over bridges and past all the cool details of the train village.

Eva giving Laura a huge hug after exclaiming, "A CAN!!! I LOVE IT!!!"
(It was a plastic tube of pony tail holders... but you know, 'can'... she was close)

elias:  My golly, you're right!
eva:  I'm NOT A GOLLY!  I'm three years old!

I was playing 'simon says' with eva.  We did the regular "jump up and down," "put your hands in the air."  We moved on to "bark like a dog" and "meow like a kitty cat."  When I asked her to "act like a mouse," she looked at me funny and thought for a second.  She started walking in a circle saying "act, act, act, act."

Elias: Who's America's President?
Eva: I dunno... He's in outer space!

(the next question was 'what's the biggest animal?'... apparently the answer is 'a kite')

Daddy,  I'm going to party with you when i'm older!

Eva, 2.5yrs old, knows how hard her mild-mannered Father parties... ?  I think what she meant was that when she's older she can go to birthday parties with Eli... but it's funnier out of context :o)

I don't believe in the Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny or bed bugs.

-Elias talking to his friend, Logan about magic and mythical people.

All the Amish furniture is made from real wood.  Their not allowed to use anything else.  I think it's against their religion.

Elias just came into the studio while i was at yahoo.com searching for something.  I usually use google but the internet is being testy today and won't load google for ANYTHING.

Dad, why are you using yoo-ha?
