Postcards From Holland: Child Labor

I don't know why, but 2 of my 3 kids love to vacuum! No complaints here. But I'm always watchful with my $400 vacuum. It sounds ridiculous to have paid that much for a vacuum. But totally worth it! Here's Egypt cleaning up after the lunch crowd.

Here are the words to live by (by a 4 year-old)

"Those aren't glubs, those are miffins."

"I can't sleep, my eyes are bright."

"There's frosting on the ground!" she was referring to frost she saw on the grass

"My favorite color is chocolate."

-"Let's sing the 'Danger, Danger' song. (Away in a Manger)

- "That's not a bus, that's a bus!" reasoning to her brother on a car ride.

-her: "I want to sweep."
me: "You want to sweep?"
her: "NO! I want to sweeep!"
Finally it dawned on me she can't pronounce her L's

"I can't see my eyes"
-she says this when I turn off all the lights in her room at bedtime

"Is the purple grandma coming over?"
-not really sure why she calls my mom the purple grandma

"This is Tomato-Head"
-can you figure this one out?

"Carry me. My legs hurt."
-said any time she doesn't want to walk. Usually in the middle of grocery shopping or Target

"Mom. That's not a leaf. That's a lily pad."
-correcting mom when looking at a tub toy

"I can't wear underwear because I have a booger in my nose."
-explaining why she doesn't want to be potty trained

"McDonald's had a farm. Yi-oh. McDonald's had a farm. Yi-oh." (sung in the car upon seeing McDonald's)
