Maybe it's the confinement of the winter months that spins their imaginations into high gear, but for some reason the cute quotes have been pouring from the Rus lately...
Rus (age 4): "If Lydia doesn't watch this movie with me, it will DESTROY my time!"
"Mom, someone is missing from our family!"
"Look what Aunt Grandma gave me for Christmas!!"
"Mom, you'll stay like this for a little bit; then you'll get big and be a grandma."
When we were reading the story of Adam and Eve, Rus commented, "I wouldn't have listened to the serpent because he has a CREEPY voice."
"My little brother has a tummy like Santa Claus!"
Coming back in tears from a sledding mishap, Rus wailed, "MOOOOM! Would you tell Ethan not to put a tree in my way?!"
"The Bible says that the SEA of the WOMAN will crush the servant's head!"
When we were studying the letter "B," we took turns calling out words that begin with that letter sound. Rus exclaimed, "BIG BUM!! Just like yours, Mom."
"I'm talking so much that it's giving me gas!"
Looking on the globe for Great Grandpa's state, Rus was reminded that Great Grandpa Hake now lives in Heaven. Very seriously he put aside the globe and opened his children's Bible to "Revelation" in search of Grandpa...
Mom to Rus: "I'm having a hard time today..."
Rus to Mom: "Well, I'm going to make it a GREAT time!"

Christmas 2009 By: Stella Age: 9 1/2
Hi everyone! I'm sorry that I'm late posting these pictures and a writeup on our Christmas! I hope that you had as good a Christmas as we did! Here is my post and pictures:
On Christmas morning, we woke up at about 4:00 a.m. Unfortunately, Mom and Dad, had said that we had to stay in bed till 6:00 a.m. So, we waited till about 5:00 a.m. and then we listened to two Adventure in Oddysey CDs. When it was finally 6:00 a.m. everybody burst out of the doors into Mom and Dad's room. We all went into the kitchen and had a couple of snacks, some munchkins, Mom's homemade Pumpkin Choc. Chip Muffins, (mmmm!!!) and cookies. Then we went into the livingroom and opened our stockings. We got lots of awesome stuff! We waited till Uncle Adam came to open our big presents! When he came we had lots of yummy stuff for breakfast! We had some bacons, sausage, eggs, smoothies, and truffles! MMMMMM!!!! Then, we went and watched a bit of our movie, Miracle on 34th Street! Finally, it was time for big gifts! We all LOVED our gifts and had so much fun on Christmas! We ended it with our family traditon of the Red Apple Buffet! It was a wonderful Christmas! Thanks so much Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, (Piercey and Zobel), Uncles, Aunts,and everybody else who made our Christmas sooooo special!
Now, I am going to post some pics. and write a little bit about them on the way...

Smiling...
It has happened again. I have piles of sticky notes and old grocery lists with my kids' funny quotes that need to be put in one place. Here they are...
Rus (Age 4) comes out with the winners. These are his:
When I invited him to do preschool with me, he answered, "Let's do it at the table, Mom. It's more stable here."
He woke up early from his nap while I was wrapping Christmas gifts. His explanation was, "Mom, I wanted to get up to supervise you."
"Mom, I just misspeaked!"
"I don't like those oranges, but they taste lovely to the kids!"
"I did my independent work, so I was very impressive."
As we were heading out for evening church, "Mom, are we going to worship God ONE MORE TIME?"
"Can I sleep with Sis; I think she needs to be comforted."
Heading to Grandma's, he asked if his baby brother would be watching him there. I said "okay," and he looked so relieved.
"Mom! The fire is in the red. You should have closed the dampers!!"
Big sis was humming the song, "If You're Happy and You Know It..." He blurted out in an incredulous tone, "God doesn't help with HAPPINESS!!"
"When my face is red, I go zoomin' to the potty!"
"Mom! I did big poops, little poops, male and female poops..."
Commenting on my friend Kathy and Artie's recent visit, "Kathy was kind of his wife. All adults need wives because wives love adults. Now I want a cheese stick."
"His first name is Uncle, his last name is Adam, and he is kind of like a cousin."
"Jesus is God's ONLY FORGOTTEN SON."
AND A COUPLE FROM THE OTHER THREE...
Leo (age 8) recently told me about his stuffed animal from Stephen's childhood...
"Curious George has been passed through the generations!"
After the dog's bath, "Mom, will Cora mildew?!"
And from Stella...
When Stephen scolded her for rolling her eyes, she replied, "Daddy, I was just shifting my gaze!"
Baby Tert was calling me from his crib, "Mama! Mama!" Eventually he lost heart and began to call, "Ora!! Ora!!" (for Cora, our dog)
His favorite phrases are, "I'll show you!!" and "Yes we can!!"
