Caroline asked us yesterday what our first miracles were.
Caroline: My first miracle was the day I made snowflakes and taped it on the window and it started snowing. That was a really long time ago. And another miracle--everyone in this house thought it was going to be a boy, except me. I was right, it was going to be a girl. That was my second miracle. Those are the only two I had. If I have any more miracles, I'll let you know.
Maureen, did you have a miracle?
Maureen: I did, it was a scary, SCARY dream.

Manipulation 101
Caroline: Daddy threw away my paper airplane. Will you make me a new one? And this time, I'm going to write I heart you Dad on it. He NEVER throws anything away that I write that on. What a great idea!!

Eat Candy / Listen to Myself
Caroline is waffling on whether she wants to grow up or not.
Last night, on the verge of tears, Caroline said she never wants to grow up and get big.
Caroline: "How can I stay little? Eat candy??"
Today she told Patrick: "I want to get bigger so I can just listen to myself."

Update on "I have NO ideas"
Caroline says that I am making this up and she DID NOT say that. I thought the day would come when she would deny all things said by her on this blog, but I didn't expect it to be the next day.
I have NO ideas!
Caroline was so bummed out the other day. I asked her what was wrong and here's the response...
Caroline: I am so sad because I just, I just have no ideas.
MaShel: No ideas??
Caroline: Yeah, my brain just has NO ideas anymore. I don't know what to do. I think dad is right, I think my brain is mush from the tv.

I'm Fragile!
Overheard, while Maureen was playing with a ceramic nativity set:
Maureen, holding donkey, talking in her best donkey voice: I fragile!
And responding to the donkey in her best cow voice: I not a toy, don't play with me!
