Ella & Max On Santa

Literally, on Santa, i.e. their Christmas requests while on the big guy's lap.

Ella: Oh Santa, surprise me!

Max: I want cars, big cars, lots of big cars!

(told you they were opposites, it is really quite comical at times)

Guest Post: Max on Growing Up

Max: Mama, when I grow up I am going to get rid of my blankie. And stop sucking my thumb. And I am going to marry you. Oh, and I am going to get a BIG truck!

Ella on Birds

Ella: Mama, did you know there are two types of birds that can hover?

Me: A hummingbird....and...um....uh.

Ella: And a fisherking, or maybe its a kingfisher.

Ella on Santa

Ella to Santa upon his request for her list: Surprise me!

Ella on Modern Times

Ella: I prefer good old old-fashioned letters, like hand written ones.

Me: Why?

Her: Because you don't have to download them.

Ella on Vampire Bats

Ella: "Mama did you know that vampire bats don't actually suck blood? They just lap it up with their tongues."

Guest Post: Max on Charming the Ladies

The other morning Max wandered into our bedroom bleary eyed. I greeted him as I always do. "Good morning, buddy!"

He responded, "Good morning, babycakes!"
