Out of their mouths

.
Here are some recent cute sayings from Finn and Lily!

"Mama, you're lovely like a princess." Aaah, just what I needed to hear! And it wasn't even when I was all dressed up for Claus' wedding celebration, it was when I was just being my VERY casually dressed, not made-up, Lily-lost-my-hairbrush-again-but-who-cares self!

Neil pushed Finn on the swing higher and higher and suddenly Finn said:
"Ha ha, Jesus is tickling me inside, Papa!" (We have told him that Jesus wants to come live in his heart, so naturally if it tickles inside it must be Jesus, right? Out of the mouth of babes...)

We were walking and Lily wanted me to hold her hand, so of course I did. Lily (3 going on 13):
"That's totally nice of you, mom." Um, you're welcome.

Neil read Finn a story from the Bible about Jonathan and his armour bearer defeating the Philistine army. When Neil was done Finn asked:
"Papa, was Jonathan's armour bear a REAL bear!?" (I guess Finn was thinking more Narnia than Old Testament here.)

Finn made a birthday wish list to send to Oma, basically a huge piece of paper with half the Playmobil catalog cut out and glued onto. I told him I needed to find a big envelope so we could mail it to Oma. A few hours later he asks me if I can give him the gazelle now. Huh? Gazelle? "You know, to send it to Oma!" Then it clicked. I guess he didn't know what an envelope was so he thought we needed an ANTELOPE to get his letter to Oma, which is pretty close to a gazelle anyway. :)

At the dinner table Finn said he was happy we have so much food and live in such a nice house. Lily:
"We're lucky ducks, eh?"
.
We sure are, we sure are.

Good night. :)
