There is a Baptist church by my house that posts a weekly thought on the marquee. I like this one:
Exercise daily. Walk with the Lord.
Jeremy's favorite is this one:
Stop, drop and roll doesn't work in Hell.
(He just walked by when I was posting, noticed what I was typing, and told me about his favorite quote, so I learned something new about him today.)
Macy told me, "Mommy, I love you more than Daddy, bee-tuz (because) you have a pink shirt like me!"
-2009 February
Nolan, after yet another morning of anxiety about afternoon pre-school, "I'm not going to school until I'm 20!"
-2009 February
Nolan, after seeing some kids show up for swim lessons wearing swim caps, "Mom, where do you buy a swim cap?"
Mom: "I don't know...I guess where they sell swim stuff."
Nolan: "Do you want to ask Michael Phelps?"
-2008 August, during the Olympics, of course
While shopping for some school clothes for Nolan:
Mom: "Nolan, do you like this shirt?"
Nolan: "No! If we buy that shirt, it will make me turn dumb!"
-2008 August
A conversation in the car on the way to Aunt Ali's house:
Nolan: "Mom, look at the fire trucks! Did you know that's what I'm going to drive when I grow up? Macy, what do you want to be when you grow up?"
Macy: (toddler gibberish)
Nolan: "She said she wants to be a tooth fairy! She's going to grow wings and go around and take people's teeth out!"
-2008 August
Nolan: "If the whole world were on fire, would space be on fire, too?"
-2008 August
Nolan runs around crazy fast then puts his hand on his chest and says, "Mom, do you want to feel my heart beep?"
Macy helped herself to the oatmeal container in the cereal cupboard. By the time I found her, she had oatmeal spread all over the kitchen floor! I said, "Macy, is this naughty?" She looked at me immediately and said, "Mo!" (her version of "No!").
Nolan finished the yummy macaroni salad (made by Shannon) tonight within two minutes tops! He asked for more, but I told him he needed to eat some of his other food first. He replied, "But that salad was so yummy that I can't eat anything else!"
Today Nolan and Macy were playing the Let's Go Fishin' Game. I hear Nolan yell, "Mom, I need the power bait!" then a few seconds later, "Reel him in! Reel him in!" If only Daddy and PawPaw could have been there!
We were in the car on an errand when Nolan said, "Oh no! Mom! We forgot to wipe off my milkstache!" (aka milk mustache)
Nolan: "Mom, do you know how pretty you are?"
Mom: "How pretty?"
Nolan: "Pretty enough to pinch your cheeks!"
Nolan, while unwrapping a piece of minty gum, "Did you know that gum is made of dried-up toothpaste?"
Nolan: "Mom, I love you all the way around the world twenty times!"
We keep the cereal in the lazy susan next to the cabinet under the sink. The other morning Macy beat me to the kitchen for breakfast. By the time I realized what she was doing, she had three bowls out of the tupperware drawer, and cereal poured all over the kitchen floor!
Nolan has a four-year-old cousin Elena (aka Leini). He told me the other day, "Mom, Leini says I can marry her when we get big enough."

I love those posts as well. Given the fact of how irreverent I am, it should come as no surprise to you that I like the one that Jeremy quoted. I actually called my dad when I saw that one!
Hey, I'm glad to see you are back on your blog. You know I live through these right? I check them pretty much everyday. So thanks, you're great! Tell Jer hi. Macey is so cute. Did Nolan tell you about his astronaut ice cream? He thought it was pretty cool.
I too love to read those wonderful thought provoking posts.
I have written many of them down.
I just found your blog.
Just beautiful!!!
Kids grow up faster than you think.
