Classic Quotes from the Past Week:

• Teancum: "Mommy, there's an army guy on the piano aiming at you."

• Rebecca: "Look! Lizzie has a baby in her tummy." (naked Lizzie in the tub)
• Rebecca: "You will forget but there's a monster scissors up in heaven."
• Micah: Lizzie was pulling ornaments off the tree and the kids were tattling on her. I reminded them that we should enjoy it because this will be our last Christmas with a baby in the house. Micah said, "unless we invite one over!"
• Rebecca: we were watching "Rachael Ray" while we ate lunch one day and she talked about how something was "a steal." Rebecca got angry and said, "hey, he's going to steal from her, I think it's her cooking stuff. Then she won't be able to cook anymore!"
• Rebecca: in her prayers, "bless that St. Nick will be good at delivering presents."
• Micah: We were talking about our memories from 2008 as each child hung their ornament on the tree. Micah said that his favorite memory of 2008 was scout camp because "we get to learn to do stuff and we get to eat with our mouths open."

This is a movie of Lizzie dancing.
