Jesus is the best at everything…or is He?

Melissa | March 7, 2010

MIA:  PJ, I’m the best dancer and singer in the whole-wide world.
PJ:  No you’re not.  There are lots of people who are better than you.
MIA: Yes I am!
PJ:  No you’re not.  Jesus is better than you.  He’s the best at everything…except sinning.

“PJ, you need to share!”
“I don’t need to.  I only need Jesus”
“But Mommy said we need to share!”
“Mia, the only thing I need is the Lord Jesus Christ.”

The downside to curly hair

Melissa | February 2, 2010

Yesterday, I threw my hair back in one long braid to get it out of my face.  Our resident princess was, of course, fascinated by my “beautiful hair bow” and wanted one for herself.  I had been secretly fantasizing about the day when her hair would be long enough to do double french braids since [...]

Life with the princess

“Mia, will you go clear off your dishes/get dressed/brush your teeth?”
“Of course, your majesty”
—————————————————————————————-
“Mommy, can I ________________ ?”
“No, not right now.”
“Oh, taterits!”  OR “Oh, cateroos!”

Can we fix it?

8:03-8:23  AM We listen to Ty whine and scream all the [...]

4 Words

Melissa | October 20, 2009

I have 4 words for you…
Parmesan & Basil Wheat Thins.
I only wish I had figured out about these 3 months ago when the tomatoes were pouring in faster than the heat and humidity.  When you taste one, your mouth screams, “Pair me with fresh tomato, basil, and tomato.  And maybe some mozarella.”
And when you do [...]

Fly on the wall

Melissa | October 15, 2009

If you had been the fly ladybug on the wall window of our car this afternoon in carpool, you might have heard…
~~~~~~~~~~~
Mia:  Mom, look the clouds are crying.
~~~~~~~~~~~
PJ:  Mia, did you know Venus is Earth’s ugly sister?
Mia: Who’s Venus?
PJ: It’s a planet.  And it’s called Earth’s ugly sister and it has poisonous air.
Mia:  Yikes!  I [...]

The garden season is slowly coming to a close. All of the Asian Pears are harvested. The apples (evident by a recent taste test) are almost ready. We only got Gala this year thanks to a local dear. We planted a chop suey variety of baby greens recently too. They’ve been yummy with a little [...]
