Inside the Brains of the Ormsby Kids

Marlee: Mom, why do we have roads on the ground instead of water?
Me: If we had water, how would we go places like to the park and the store?
Marlee: Mom, in a boat, a fast boat. (Duh!)

Sunday in Nursery the boys learned about saying "sorry" when you do something wrong, or hurt somebody. They got a cute little hand-out with a hippo on it that said, "If I can say hippopotamus, I can say I'm sorry". So today Noah hit Marlee. This was the conversation that followed . .
Me: Noah, can you say hippopotamus?
Noah: Yes
Me: Then you need to tell Marlee you're sorry.
Noah: (to Marlee) Marlee, Hippopotamus, I can say I'm sorry.
(I think we need to work on it a little bit more)

Van seems to be ready for Winter. Everyday he wants something different. Like to have a fire in the fireplace, or go sledding. Today he wanted to put up the Christmas tree and have presents. Silly kid.

Elijah probably has a lot to say, but all he does is suck in air and make a LOUD squealing sound. He would also tell us how uncomfortable it is to cut 2 teeth at the same time (his two bottom ones). Oh, and also how much fun he has crawling now!!
