Spiderman.. Spiderman…

Matthew’s really into Spiderman these days.
So much that he sings various thoughts to the Spiderman theme.

e.g. Dinosaurs.. Dinosaurs.. where did you go my Dinosaurs.

Mary’s Prayer

…. and God, please be with those people that watched a scary movie today, so that they are not scared when they go to bed.

Winter Wonderland – Lyrics by Mary

“Here today is the newer,
And tonight is the sinker,
We wiggle along, walking along,

Walking in the winter one way”

What Happened?

Matthew is use to hearing “What happened?” from a soft sympathetic voice whenever he is found crying, and decided to use it himself. Though I think he needs to work on when to use it….

We were play wrestling on the ground in the evening. Matthew in his excitement gave dad a big slap on the cheek. I screamed “Ouch!”.. to which he replied… “What happened?”

People vs. Humans

Mary is still building her internal dictionary and thesaurus. One of the funniest synonyms is her use of the word Humans.

Example:

The other day we were camping up at Six Mile Lake. Sitting in our tent we face the lake but can people traffic behind us. As we were sitting there, Mary heard a noise in the background of footsteps, likely someone walking to the nearby toilettes.

She says: “Mommy, I hear humans coming!”

I guess she is being universally politically correct in her accuracy.

My Turn

Mary had been acting up today and managed to get in trouble by both me and Miriam. After getting a third lecture she finally turned and said, “When is it my turn to be upset!?!”

Got Time?

Mary was on the phone with her grandma. My mom had bought her a new pair of jeans and wanted to give them to her. So my mom said, “When you have time, come over. I have somthing for you.”

Mary replied looking at her new watch that her uncle George got her for Christmas, “But I have time already!”

Lunar Stalker

Here’s one coincidentally in line with the season. While driving home yesterday evening, Mary seemed to be staring out her window for a long time. I asked her what was wrong. She whispered, “The Moon is following us!”

Garbage for the needy

A few weeks ago we got Mary involved in deciding which toys she would give up and donate. We explained how some children don’t have toys, and that toys she would donate would go to them.

Today was trash day. The blue bin was light enough to carry, so Mary dragged it to the door while Matthew watched. Once she reached the door she turned to Matthew and explained, “See Matthew, we have to give our garbage to other people who don’t have garbage.”

Happy Face

Miriam had a rough day that day and it showed. Mary, noticing her mom was down, walks over to me and whispers, “Daddy, you should draw a happy face for mommy.”
