Massage

Violet gave us massages today.  She had Christie and me take turns laying down, while she gave us very pleasant rub downs.

"Violet, thanks so much.  That was a great massage."

Violet said, "Thank you. You can visit my website at massage.com."

Big Jasper

At Violet's preschool Christmas party, her teacher, Mrs. Rotti told us a story:

Mrs. Rotti had seen Jasper when Christie came to pick up Violet from school.  She said to Violet, "You're brother is a big boy."

"Yeah, he was big when he was born too!" Violet said.

"Oh, really?  How big was he?" she asked.

Violet, who always has an answer, said, "He was 51 pounds when he was born."

Christmas Sentiments

At Christmas, we were all asked to fill out cards, to be read a grace, stating what we were thankful for in 2014, and what we're looking forward to in 2015.

I transcribed Violet's for her.

For 2014, she had me write, "I'm thankful for God."

For what she's looking forward to in 2015, she had me write "I'm looking forward to God, just God... And Monkey!"

Pirate?

Violet and Lila went to the Children's Museum with their Aunts today.  After several hours of play, they sat down for a snack at the eating area of the museum.

Partway through their snacking, the Aunties notices that both of the girls weren't eating, and were mesmerized. They looked around and saw a man in a kilt.

"What's up?  Are you looking at that guy?" Auntie Nicole asked.

"He's a pirate," Violet declared.

"What?"

"He's a pirate!"

"No, he's wearing a kilt.  Sometime men wear those."

"Pirate!"
