Christmas '09 Requests

Dear Santa,

Merry Christmas! I have been a good girl. For Christmas, I would like a car, some popcorn, oatmeal and some acorns. Love, Katie


Merry Christmas, Santa! I hope Ruldolf's ok. I'll give him lots of carrots when you come down the chimney. And what I want is a race car set with a kitty and a bunny in a race car, and you can take the kitty and the bunny out of the race car. With an easy way to store it in the car. And I want a Santa's sleigh hanging out of my stocking. I don't want a Bat Cave. Bye, Santa. I hope you have a Merry Christmas, yourself! Love, Zach

Shopping List

Ah, Dad. This is to remind you that we now have more pits than olives...

Gratitude '09

Zach: Mrs. Goner asked me what I was thankful for today. I said, "Tractors and Stuffing."

Betsy: You mean the stuffing that we eat with turkey?

Zach: No, the stuffing that's on cake.

Katie in the Leaves

Katie was having fun getting tossed into a huge pile of leaves.

As she dug her self out she looked at Betsy with a big smile, lifted her hand to show something and said:

"Look what I found! A leaf!"

Gravity

Zach: Dad, why does the water stick to the planet and not go up in the air?

Betsy to Charlie: It’s because of gravity, right?

Charlie: No. It’s because of the magnetic field. Water is affected by magnetic fields.

Betsy: Wait, no. It’s gravity, right?

Charlie: No, I was kidding. It’s really the fish. The water clumps around them and keeps the water on the planet.

Betsy: No, really. It’s the gravity right?

Charlie: Nope! It’s the Fish.

Betsy: Zach, you do know I’m a Doctor, right?

Lovin' California Style

Zach, while examining his bike gears and pretending that the bike was broken (he was in the Caribbean at the time): Man, and I've got to get to California....

Betsy: What's in California?

Zach: There's a party because somebody's in love.

Betsy: Who's in love?

Zach: Just a couple of strangers.

The Princess and the Queen

Zach, to Katie: Katie, do you want to be a princess or a queen?

Looking at me: I know, Mom. "Queens have all the power." But princesses are more beautifuler.
