Anya is still 3 years old, but uses such big words, sometimes correctly, sometimes not. Yesterday she ran up to me and told me she was "lava proof" when I looked surprised she said "I'll prove it!" She then acted like she was holding her breath and pretended to swim through the play room which I'm assuming was filled with lava in her mind. Just now she came to tell me that she "stabilized the book". I'm pretty sure she meant to say she had stapled the book. (The kids are creating books out of paper right now. Anya's is about The Creation and Talmage's is about outer space).
A few weeks ago Anya notified me that she was catching "intruders", then she asked what intruders were. I tried to explain it in a non threatening manner so she wouldn't be afraid of bad guys getting in our house at night or something. I asked her what kind of intruders she was catching and she told me "spiders".
The kids have been on a science kick and Anya felt so sad the other day because Talmage had created a science experiment with out her-- she came crying to me that she wanted to do a "speramint too". It's a good thing she drew my attention to Talmage's experiment because it was "discovering" if things were waterproof or not. That could have gone bad, luckily it didn't get out of hand.
Anya also told me that clearing dishes from the table was "harder than pie for Talmage, but it is easy as pie for me".
I sure like her words and phrases, they keep me smiling. I wish I could remember and share them all.

Very cute! Those all made me smile and chuckle too. It's been awhile; I'm glad you're back. While in Washington, we spent a day with Tarah and Carley and their girls and had a blast. We all remorsed that you and I didn't plan our trips better so we could all be together. Carley said that my kids reminded her of your kids, which I thought was quite the compliment. And, Dallin informed me that he is going to marry Evalyn and move to Washington when he grows up, but when Carley asked Evalyn if she wants to marry Dallin, she said she has 4 boys (2 are cousins, though and the other 2 are Talmage and Dallin). I thought that was too cute!
PS Maybe if this new school in our district gets going in the right direction, ya'll should move here for junior high...USAA is here too. ;) The school is a science partnership with the US space program; this is the first year it's open and it focuses on learning through science and math.
I'm so glad that her vocabulary is growing! Even if she uses words incorrectly, at least she's learning them!
