Some Quick Takes

1) Kate has been running around the house singing, "if you like it shoulda woulda puta ring on it." I'm fairly certain she's heard the song once.

2) Two days ago at meal time I said, "Let's pray." Luke crossed himself (well, tried anyway) and said "Amen."

3) We went to a museum called Pretend City this past Wednesday. It's a place that fosters imaginative play with different hands on rooms (i.e. doctor clinic, a stage, water table room, art room, grocery store). All of it is completely hands on and interactive and the kids absolutely LOVED it. We spent 4 hours there and Kate could have easily spent another four.

4) I am probably a bad person for saying this, but I am so SICK of 75 degree (or hotter) weather I could scream! I know most of you would probably love 75 degree weather right about now, but I have a hard time remembering whether it's November or June and I just don't like it.

5) I gave Kate a sour skittle the other day and she said, "Oh this is kind of good but it's kind of...... (long pause)... schmigely."

M: Do you mean sour Kate?

K: (with an "ahh haa" expression) Oh ya, sour.

6) Kate has been saying that she "forleft" things instead of "forgot." Some examples:

"Oh, no! I forleft my shoes at the playground!"

"Mommy, I think you forleft our hats at home."

7) Luke is almost one already! He can walk a few steps and has his two front teeth. He can also say a handful of words including "soccer" and "backpack." He almost never says these on command. He's also less laid back than he was 5 months ago... I know, what a surprise. He can throw a tantrum on a par with his sister. Speaking of his sister, they are already great friends and they love to make each other laugh all the time. Oh and he is a CLIMBER! He is ALWAYS climbing. Here are some pictures of him climbing (and getting caught):
