We don't throw babies or fits

Leighton amazes me with her words of wisdom.  The title of this blog is one of her most recent observations.  It's hilarious but so true.  She talks constantly and says some of the greatest things.  For instance: "momma, little girls don't drive because they could bump into things,"  or, "momma, if you get under the car, it will squish you flat like a pancake.", or "momma, look at that trash on the road, that is bisgusting, we have to move out of oklahoma" (If that is not straight from the mouth of Chris Tracy I don't know what is.)  The quiet game has become our favorite game to play with her.  She ALWAYS loses, but at least Chris and I get a few miniscule moments of peace from it.

We found out she often volunteers to pray in her Sunday School class. (I am the shy one-this comes from her daddy) She likes to pray at dinner also and these prayers could last until the end of tomorrow if we didn't tell her to "wrap it up." Her little quirks are adorable though. Speaking of quirks-she just came in the room, knocked a giant glass of water all over me and pushed Elliot's walker to make it sing, hence waking Elliot up and making her cry, all in a matter of seconds. My life is so G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S.

Here are some pics from the last couple weeks. The first ones are from the Dinosaurs exhibit. LP was terrified of these life like creatures. lol

These are from this weekend at the drive thru safari in Arkansas:

Wiggle wiggle wiggle and Praise the Lord!

There is not a more appropriate title, considering today is Easter Sunday.  Leighton comes home from Sunday school and sings the songs that she learned for days after.  Last week, she walked in the room and showed us the song that she learned.  Apparently it has a dance that goes with it.  Shaking her hips back and forth, she says, "Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, and praise the Lord!"  I have yet to speak to her Sunday school teachers, but I am pretty sure that this song was not on the Sunday school singing list.  She has started composing songs all by herself and telling us she learned them at school, Sunday school, etc.  It is truly the most hysterical thing ever.  I can usually tell the ones that she makes up because they are about strange things that do not quite seem to fit together, like trees and cheese or last week it was mommy and hallelujah.  Not to say that you can't wiggle and praise the Lord, we are Methodist, so this does indeed happen, we just don't sing a song with that exact title.  That kid never ceases to make Chris and I laugh.  We have been trying to teach her about being quiet and not interrupting.  Chris and I were talking in the car the other day and she interrupted us saying that we needed to be quiet because her legs were falling asleep.  Wow.  Disciplining this child without laughing is our greatest challenge. 

Today is mine and Chris' anniversary.  Together for 10 years, married for 6.  In honor of that and the Easter holiday, here are some pics:
