Cocoa puffs of a galactic size.

Hannah:  "Josiah, does God send satellites to punish people?"
Josiah:  "No, satellites are made by people."
Hannah: "Oh."
Noah, while throwing a lego at Hannah: "Asteroid coming to hit you!"
Hannah:  "Yeah, Asteroids was what I meant, they look like big cocoa puffs."

Worms


  "Look Mom, I've got a worm!  And I''m going to eat it"
Hmm, what is Josiah doing with the air compressor?  Do you think it has anything to do with Judah's new breakfast preferences?

  Aha! We made jello worms.

Daddy thought it would be fun to put some real worms in there with them, so when a little kid grabbed one...

The tricky part was extracting the worms from the straws.  That was what Josiah was doing with the air compressor.








Frogs, Cheesecake, Elisha and Tuttles.

Making lumpy cheesecake.
Reminds me of the fairy tale where a guy's beard turns into a toad.

he is going to eat me!  Help!

He's got my arm, ouch, help help!

here, I will sacrifice this Turtle to The Dragon

Row, row, row your box. Gently down the carpet.

"Trinkle, Trinkle yittle Tar, How I know what you are.  Up above the world so high, yike a dimond in the kye. Trinkle trinkle yittle Tar, how i know, what you are."  These words have been heard sung by Judah this week.

Valkenaarisms-- the goofy things we say that you won't find anywhere else.

Every healthy family (at least we hope) has odd things it says that sound ridiculous to everyone else.  Here are some of ours
1-- Vir Moosh.  It means "very much so," as in "A Vir Moosh bad salad."  Origins-- five year old Hannah wrote a book.  Her spelling is not the greatest, so when big people read her story we can't quite tell what she says. Therefore, when she means to write " 'Do you like it?' 'Yes I do. I like it this very much" it turns out as " 'Do you likit?'  Yes I do.  I likit this ver muush'"  I loved it and made a character in one of my books say, "Vir Moosh."
2-- Mi Gones!  An exclamation of surprise.  It was first seen in Hannah's books, though she insists she never wrote it.
Ah, here is the pink sausage himself
3--Pink Sausage.  None of us know who came up with this one, but it refers to Elisha when he is dressed only in a diaper, and his chubby little legs show, but now just refers to Elisha.
