Just a few funnies

This morning before "wake-up" time (which should more appropriately be called "release from our room time" since they've usually been up looooong  before this magical hour arrives) I walked by the room to hear Duke talking to Lilly by her crib.  This is obviously something we're trying to discourage, the bedroom-sharing being new and each one instigating the other when they're trying to sleep.  But, it was close to freedom time and I saw that he was putting his pants on after going to the potty, so I stood there and listened for a minute to hear what he was saying.
"You're going to be a Mommy.  You're going to be a Mommy, Lilly and I'm going to be a race car driver."
If you've ever seen him drive his Jeep, you know that'll take a miracle.

A friend got him some G.I. Joe figurines for Christmas.  He keeps asking me what they are called as he'd never heard of them or had anything like that before.  This morning he was asking me about the "E-I-E-I-Joes."  Darrell suggested we take the kids to "Old McDonald's" (what Duke calls Micky D's) for breakfast!

One of the little crafts Duke made a school for Christmas was a photo of him dressed with wings and a halo.  "I'm not an angel, I'm a fairy, Mommy!"  We'll need to do more work on the story of Jesus' birth next year; I'm fairly certain there is no mention of fairies being invited to the party.
