"Earth's crammed with heaven, And every common bush afire with God, But only he who sees takes off his shoes, The rest sit 'round it and pluck blackberries."

E - isms

Thinking Mom is crazy as a loon:

J: Maybe we could go to Disneyland and see Mickey Mouse.
E: Tomorrow?
J: Not for a while.
E: Will we see him in a movie?
J: No, I think you'd get to meet him.
E: (laughing) I don't think so, Mom.

Discussing the WalMart Christmas ad book:

E: I want this Diamond Castle.
J: (Looking at the $90 price tag) Um, I think that's too big for our house.
E: I want this mermaid.
E: I want Mariposa.
E: I want Diamond Castle dolls.
J: Maybe we should think of something to give Cousin A.L. for Christmas.
E: For Santa to give her?
J: No, for us to give her, to show her we love her.
E: Mom, I think A.L.'s house is big enough for Diamond Castle!

Discussing voting:

E: What are we doing today.
J: We're going voting.
E: We're going sailing?

(Luckily Dad was around to clear this up for me... E thought we were going boating.)

Very funny...I can't wait until Cody starts saying actual words...he has so much to say but it is in a language that we don't understand.
