2 Moore Girls: Time to Relax

Time to Relax

What a great day it was!! On Sunday, we got to take a much needed break to enjoy some very good friends of ours. How wonderful it is to be in the presence of folks who just let you be you. Josie spent the time running around with her gal-pals and Norah spent the time being high maintenance. Nah.... she wasn't so bad... she just mooched off of everyone's plates except ours! Silly girl.

This was the last round of friendly fun for a little while. Eric flies down to Tampa tomorrow to help my folks drive up for the rest of the summer to help care for us during my 6 week forced vacation (they will do some shared time with Sarah in STL as her family gets settled into their new home). It will be so good to have them around -- Josie is just giddy with excitement! I will have lots of down time, so perhaps that will mean more blog time. We shall see...

She Said What?!

"Daddy is a boy Daddy." - Norah, age 3
"I love these new sandals. They make me feel so grown up - like in my twenties!" - Josie, age 8
Mom: Norah, you look nice today. Norah: No Momma, I ootiful. (age 2.75)
"The sun loves me!" -- Norah, age 2.75, when the sun came out from behind the clouds for the first time in weeks.
Norah, age 2, while Josie and Molly were away at church camp, and said when she had positioned herself nose-to-nose with Eric and grabbing his cheeks: "I WANT MAMMA!"
"I have some adjectives to share with you" - Josie told the doctor as she prepared to tell him how her sore throat felt.
"Daddy, you a good girl." -- Norah, age 2
"Good growing, Daddy!" -- Josie cheering Eric on any time he needs a haircut. She seems to understand he is "follicle-ly challenged."
On Norah's second birthday, " Norah, are you TWO?!" "Free!!" [meaning, three, while holding one finger up]
"Don't want it." Norah (23 months), when referring to her rather full plate of dinner. I am sure this is just the first of many....
"Today Obama becomes President! How excited is he?!" Josie, the morning of January 20, 2009.
[Josie, when asked why she picked a sheep as an animal to purchase for the family Christmas gift through Heifer Project - 2008] Because they give warmness to people who need warmness. You can shred the sheep and use them to knit warm things.
"Ix." -- Norah, age 20 months, when asked what number the big kids at daycare were learning.
"Daddy, I think someday I'll be brave enough to try a place called 'Burger King'"
[While watching a cartoon about a "school of fish"] "Wow ... I didn't know fish go to school. They really ARE like people! Except that we eat those people."
"I can't believe I'm in first grade... and I am only six!" -- Said on the first day of a new school year with so much excitement that I thought she would pop.
"I can't believe I am Sarah's niece! I am not even married!" (this after several conversations explaining how in-laws are acquired)
"Hey Dad, today in crafts we had a choice. Either we could take our craft home or eat it. I ate mine." (Josie, speaking of a craft predominantly made of marshmallows, though I hope she didn't also eat the toothpicks and glue....)
"How was Animal Conference?" -- Josie when inquiring about our day of meetings at Annual Conference, June 2008
"Ew... I smell a stunk" -- Josie, age 5
