Cute Quotes
Noah: “We were running and all my breath is out!”
November 1st, 2009 by Leah
Tonight while reading “This is What Would Happen if Everybody Did” to Isaiah, we came to the “Always cry? This is what would happen if everybody did” and I pointed out to him all the people crying. He said, “n’, spank them!” Then we came to “stay up? This is what would happen if everybody did” He saw all the people with their mouths wide open (yawning) and said, “spank, spank, spank!”
Noah got a birthday card in the mail from some friends of ours and said, “Bekah! Look at my card! And they spend me a dollar!”

While riding in the van one day, Bekah asked me, “How do you spell a hundred? One, zero, zero?
“Yes”
“How do you spell it in numbers, like A, B, C, D?”

This morning Noah and Isaiah were crying, and Charissa said, ” I wish we could just we-wind this!” (rewind)
I would rather fast forward : )
I'm the first one to comment!
I really like the picture of the cat! And the quotes are very cute! And I'm sure the movies are funny, but I'm not going to listen to them until I have some earphones (I accidentally left them at home:)!
Love and a hug!
