Recent Conversations with the kids.

The pictures are from our trip to the zoo yesterday.  We greatly enjoyed the non-characteristic weather and hoped many of you got outdoors as well.

Will's imagination is continuing to grow by leaps and bounds every day.  Recently I had the following conversation with him in the car:
Seth:  "Mom, man!"
Me:  "Did you see a snowman?"
Seth:  "Uh-huh"
Will:  "I saw a picky poo."
Me:  "OK"
Will:  "Do you know what a picky poo is?"
Me:  "No"
Will:  " It's a kind of hippo.  And I saw a hippo.  It was running . . . with angels.  And then the angels flew away.  Then the hippo flew away with its wings."

Here's a conversation I had with Elise after our zoo trip.  Unfortunately she is starting to display a definitive amount of gullibility.  Guess she takes after me.  :)

Elise:  "Mom, Cameron knows what other people are thinking.  I was thinking of the color red and she told me red."
Me:  "Elise, that is just coincidence.  She doesn't really know what you are thinking."
Elise:  "But I was thinking red, and she said red.  She knew it."
Me:  "Did you do it more than once?"
Elise:  "Well, we did it two times, but the other time she tried and she couldn't do it."
