~The girls have been really into using their imaginations and playing with the Fisher Price Little People toys a lot lately. They have the house, boat, car, farm, and tons of animals and people. The other day Aaron and I overheard them playing and we heard, "Quick! Everyone into the boat! There's an oil spill!" Hmmm, do you think we have had the news on too much lately?

~Every night we all sit on the couch and read stories before bed. Shea of course must do everything by herself, so she reads her story to us. No, she can't read. She makes it up as she goes. Well last night she was taking like 20 minutes to read her book. By the time she got to the last page, Aaron blurted out, "And they lived happily ever after. The end." Shea gave him an evil look and just said, "Not quite." It was funny to us.

~Same night as I am tucking Shea into bed, she suddenly looks stricken and in a weak pathetic voice tells me, "Mommy, I don't feel well." I asked her what's wrong. She replied, "I need diamonds, mommy."
