Things Peter says a lot:

He uses "mine" instead of "my". ie: "It's mine hat." "Baby you can drive mine car." It sounds kind of German. 

"I uh go-ah too!"

"Two of them!"

"It good!"

"It's hot, hot stuff." (When putting him in his car seat.)

"Not nice, it hurts." (When he pinches me.)

"Great."

"Oh, good."

"BrahmBraaahh" With the "br"s being trilled. (It means water.)

Peter's favorite songs:

Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
Bear in the Big Blue House
Real Gone (McQueen Song!)
I am a Child of God (Nursery Song)

When Norah heard we finished the last lesson of Eliza's history curriculum she cried and begged that we start over at the beginning and learn about Rome again. Gotta love k12 history!

------
Yesterday morning:
Me: What do you want for breakfast?
Norah: Um... How 'bout lunch?
Me: Let's do that later. What do you want!
Norah: Something "editable". 

Apparently she doesn't have much faith in my breakfast making skills.

Norah misses Leah from Seattle and Sister Leavitt. She is so tender hearted and remembers them and her great grandmas in her prayers.

I love how Peter will say, "oh, good!" When we tell him a story or something. 

He also calls water "BbbbbbrrrrahmBbbbrrrrrah." With the last syllable going up in pitch.

The price of a few minutes alone is having your four youngest children use a bottle of conditioner to turn the bathroom into a skating rink.

Peter: It's mine.

Mom: You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it does.

Peter kept hitting me on the head with a bopper sword. After a few times I noticed before he did that he'd sing, "la,la,la,la,la,la,la,la..." and after he hit me he'd sink down. No more Awkward Avaidance Viking for that kid.

Nate and I were able to go out for the first time in a long time. It was wonderful.  While Nate was looking through the Olive Garden menu he observed, "this isn't really Italian food. It's American food and they've italicsized it."
"Mom, you have crossed the Rubicon. I just hope you haven't opened Pandora's box." Eliza loves doing history for home school. She begs for more everyday and gets sad when she finishes a unit, puts a sticker on her chart and realizes it will one day end.

Norah loves history too and runs over to listen when we start a lesson. She can answer the questions and last night, when we were at the Living Nativity, she got excited when she recognized the name Agustus Ceasar.
