In God's Hands: Our Visiting Bird of Prey

Every morning we have a bird (maybe an owl) that visits our yard. This morning we saw him pick up a rat and fly away with it in his mouth.

Kid's comments

Chandler: "Mom, could I just marry my sister? That way I don't have to kiss anybody new."

Avrielle: As we are trying to find my car in the crowded parking lot, "There it is mom, I memorized your licence placemat."

Mom to Avrielle: "It's time to brush your teeth."
Avrielle: "May I appeal, I need to defrost more from waking up."

Mom to Chandler: "If you're not thankful for your dinner, maybe I should take it away, and all you will have to eat is some bread."
Chandler: "Sounds great!"
Mom: " Ok, since that didn't work, How about if we take away all your toys too, so you will see how much you have to be thankful for..."
Chandler: "I'll just play with my bread!"

Chandler as he is trying to throw a dirty kleenex into the trashcan. "He shoots, (it lands on top of Avrielle's head) He SCORES!!!

Wow Avrielle, that was a quick shower. Did you wash your hair?
"I only put conditioner on it, because I washed it last night and I just needed to remind it that it had been washed already so it will obey me this morning."

Chandler: "Dad, could you please make sure you take the right sandwich to work tomorrow? I don't wan't you to leave the healthy one for me by mistake."

Chandler: Can you not put gel in my hair this morning? If I get it cut later, it will hurt because it will be like they are cutting through a wall of steel!

Chandler at Trader Joes: Why does nanny have to take so long reading every label in the freezer aisle? Can't it be the "try out" aisle instead???

Chandler telling a story at dinner: "Not yesterday, but the yesterday before..."

Mom to Chandler: Your closet is a mess.
Yeah, I know, it's always an adventure because I get to find new undiscovered sightings.
Mom: What kind of undiscovered sightings?
Well, you know, like, I'll put something in there when I'm seven and then discover it again when I'm fourteen.

Mom to Chandler: What is the most important thing you learned from Papa? He taught me never to hit people with the golf ball when I'm chipping.

Mom to Avrielle: What is your favorite memory with Papa? He took me to the American Girl Store, and walked all around with me explaining the history of all the dolls until I found the one I wanted.

Chandler, What does it mean to store up treasures in heaven? Well, it's like God has cubbies for each person, and when you do something that pleases Him, He puts a trophy in your cubby."

Chandler after hearing the bedtime story of Corderoy. "Mom, some stories are so good, I feel like I want to cry inside when I hear them."

How do you like the pistachio Chandler? It's sort of medium low on the scale of goodness.

Chandler while looking at a pre -cancer picture of David, "Wow Dad, I don't remember that you used to have an afro!"

Chandler, you need to wipe the chocolate off your face! Do I have to mom? If I leave it on, I can taste it again later!

Avrielle while watching Taming of the Shrew in the park: "I love the play mom, but which one is William Shakespeare?"

Chandler: Mom, can you please buy some more string cheese? It really puts you to work! Mom: I thought you don't like doing hard work. I love hard work when it comes to my food!

Chandler to mom: "Do I have to open my Christmas presents? I want to warm up to the day first."

Avrielle watching Taming of the Shrew in Hart Park. "Mom, I like the play, but which one is William Shakespeare?"

"Avrielle, You have been really quiet since the debate has been on, do you have any questions about what is going on or what they are talking about?" She look over to us very seriously, and said,"Mom, I think I understand what they are saying, but I only have one question. How can they stand there and talk so long without having to pee?"
