Impossible!

The girls had such a wonderful day today on a field trip! They both behaved beautifully and it was a great day!
We come home, have dinner, and my husband and I go in to the living room to relax while the girls went in to the toy room. Well, it wasn't even a minute that my husband sat down that they were already fighting over a barbie. The fight ensued and traveled to where we were. We tried to tell E. that she needs to SHARE her barbies with her sister; but she was having none of that! She flew back in to the toy room and apparently hit her sister with a book. O. ran in to the living room and tattled on E. E. came in and exclaimed,"Impossible!" We were laughing too hard to make her say she was sorry!

Talking on the phone

This morning I called my house to talk to my husband, and my 2 year old answered the phone.
Me: hello!
E.: "hi!"...silence..."who is this?"
Me: it's your mother!
E.: "i don't want to talk to you!"

And my thoughts were, "well, I really wasn't calling for you in the first place!"

A little kid's version of Jesus' last days on Earth

This morning was a stellar morning for conversation on the ride to school!  J. is off the whole week due to no snow days!  So, he was in the car w/ us as we took O. to preschool. 
O. must have had this on her mind, because she blurted out when no one was saying anything, "J. thinks that there are 13 brothers, but he's wrong.  There are 12 disciples."  I told her that she was correct and asked her what else she knew.  Here's what she had to say:

"They didn't drink God's blood, it's just wine, Mom!"
"They teared the bread and shared it with everyone."
"Jesus died on the cross."
"He rised from the dead."

Which, this last statement brought up the conversation topic of Jesus going to the cave and the rock door that was mysteriously moved.

J. said, "The King put Jesus in the cave and then put the rock over the door so that He couldn't get out.  But Jesus just punched His way through the rock to get out.  Or He just walked right through the rock.  He was super strong!"

O. of course didn't believe it, so she said, "No.  That is NOT what happened!  There were two girls that came to the cave, one had black hair and one had red hair, and they moved the rock out of the way.  THEY were super strong!"

I love when they pay attention in school and church!
Happy Easter!
