Growing in the Garden

I am always amazed at what my kids say, but Emma has come out with some of the best things that I've heard in a while.  Yesterday, I went to Walmart, alone after having been with children 24/7 for the past 13 days, and Emma noticed the vacuum cleaner sitting where the Christmas tree once stood.  Chad took the tree out of the house on New Year's day and vacuumed the fallen needles.  

She turned to Chad and said, "Daddy, are you finished with that vacuum?"

Chad said, "Yes, I am.  Why?"

Emma then said, "Then daddy, are you gonna let it sit there forever?"

I MUST add that I haven't mentioned a WORD about that vacuum and, honestly, had forgotten that it was sitting there!  

Also while I was at Walmart, Chad and Emma were playing outside when she said, "Daddy, I want to grow a baby around here."  

He told me this when I got home and I asked her questions about who would carry the baby in their tummy and what kind of baby it would be.  She decided that mommy would have the baby in her tummy and that it would be a pig baby.



















Little does she know that that wish will come true in July!!!
