Mama's Shirt

Papa: Look, Mama's shirt is black and white.

Sarah: Right! She's a zebra!

More Coloring

Stephen is not to be left out on the coloring... This one is his first real effort.

Chili

Papa made a big batch of chili the other day. Not sure which ingredient it was but it made us all ill (or so we believe). It did tast pretty good, though. Last night Mama and Papa worked together to make a new batch.

However, nothing compared to Mama's own apple cake recipe she prepared for us last week. Mostly apples with a little bit of breading. Yum!

Stair Light

Stephen has learned to turn on the light switch before going up the stairs. He doesn't like to go up the stairs in the dark. So much so that if he is almost all the way up the stairs and someone turns off the lights from the bottom... he slides right back all the way down, stands up, and turns the light back on before starting back up the stairs again.

I did this to him at least 10 times in a row the other day before he started getting mad (trying to buy time for Mama, who was resting upstairs).

Geese Chased Us

Sarah saw some geese and remembered, again, the episode where some geese tried to run us down.

Sarah: Remember when we went to the park and the geese were chasing us and tried to eat us, and we ran?

A bit later, Stephen overheard Papa telling Mama about what Sarah said. Stephen started quacking and then made motions with his hands that seemed to describe the story of the geese.

Mama: Stephen are you telling us about when the geese chased after us and tried to eat us and we ran away?

Stephen (nods and moves his eyebrows "yes")

Convertibles

Sarah on convertibles.

Sarah: Silly car! Why don't it have ventanas? (windows?)

Ponmibo

Sarah mispronounces this Spanish word, "conmigo," in the cutest way: "ponmibo," replacing two consonants.

Until the other day, when she got it right for the first time, and I was kind of sad.
