Christmas Eve Eve

Leaves

Here's what raking leaves with the kids reminded me about laboring for the Gospel.

Thanksgiving

Dad: Caleb, do you know what Thanksgiving is all about?
Caleb: Sure. It's about Programs and Indians.
Dad: I'm pretty sure you mean "Pilgrims" and Indians.
Caleb: Well, I'm pretty sure I don't.

Halloweenies 2010

Bank

Elizabeth: Look, Dad. I found some money.
Dad: I think that fell out of my pockets. Can I have it back?
Elizabeth: Nope. I'm gonna put it in my piggy tank.

Doors

Uncle Jeremy: Caleb, do you like The Doors?
Caleb: On which house?

Ring

Pop: So, did you carry the ring in that wedding?
Caleb: Yeah, I was the ring barrier.

Wedding

Elizabeth: Caleb, do you think you can marry me at a wedding?
Caleb: Ummm, I don't think so. I'll probably marry Mom. Sorry.
Elizabeth: Okay. Well, I have a pretty dress.
Caleb: Yeah, and I got this suit. And I look way better than Dad.

Bikes

Elizabeth: My bike is so fast, I can ride like the wind.

More Birthday

Tall

Caleb: Mom, I'm getting really tall now, aren't I?
Elizabeth: I'm getting tall too. Look! I'm all the way up to my hair!

Princess Birthday

Happy Birthday, Little Princess.

Flywhopper

Elizabeth: Mommy, we need a flywhopper so we can whop all these flies!

Pink Shirt

Caleb: (loudly) Dad, WHY is that guy wearing a PINK shirt?
Dad: I guess he likes pink shirts.
Caleb: But he is a man. Why would he wear a pink shirt?
Dad: Some men like pink shirts.
Caleb: Do you like pink shirts?
Dad: They're okay, I guess. I think I have pink dress shirt.
Caleb: Well, you should give it to that guy because it appears that he likes to dress like a GIRL.

Cocker Spaniel

Caleb: Dad, I don't think I've ever seen a dog like that one.
Dad: That is a Cocker Spaniel.
Caleb: REALLY?! So it can talk?
Dad: Mmmm... nope. Why did ask that?
Caleb: You said it was a Talker Spaniel. So it can talk?
Dad: I said it was a Cocker Spaniel.
Caleb: What?! Dad, you are joking with me. That is not a Taco Spaniel.

Zoop!

Elizabeth: Daddy, if Caleb wasn't wearing his seat belt, the wind would blow him and he would go zoop! Right out the window!
Dad: That's true, Bethie.
Caleb: It is true, but I wish she would stop smiling when she says that.

Caleb: Gun show? Are there real guns there?
Dad: The guns are my arms.
