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.”

Why it’s quiet
While walking to the park on a quiet Sunday afternoon I said, “Wow, it’s really quiet outside.” Mary replied, “Ya. Do you know why it’s quiet outside?”
I was caught by surprise. I queried with interest, “No, why?”
Mary responded, “It’s quiet because God created quiet!”
Found out later they were teaching the story of creation at her Sunday school.

Celebrate Him
Same ride home, Mary holding her Gingerbread Man kept on insisting she wants to “Celebrate him!”.
“Celebrate him???” .. took us a while before we realized she meant to say… “Decorate him!”

Winter Cookies
As we were driving back from ballet practice, we stopped at a local bakery to grab some goodies.
After finishing her first in practically one bite, Mary asks: “Can I have another Winter Cookie?”
Wish I started logging these a long time ago…
