I am, who I am, at this moment. Nothing more, nothing less. Usually I'm ordinary, sometimes I soar, occasionally I do something great - like smile at a stranger. I'm mom, knitter, wife, lover, hater, sister, daughter, friend, dancer, person of power, oppressed, romancer, free and bound. As we all are, I am a nuanced creation living on a nuanced creation.

kids say
"Light is the perfection of art" (Shayel, age 7)
our whole family was coloring earlier tonight and Shayel said this completely out of the blue. We all kind of just sat there stunned.

my kids tend to reveal a little too much...
We were standing in line at the post office the other day and Aliyah asked "Mom, do you ever wear panties? How about with pants?" Now, since I'm posting this on a public blog I'm obviously not shy about much of anything but there was something a little awkward about that revelation considering the creepy looking man right behind me holding the suspicious looking package who smiled a very creepy smile when he heard that little tidbit about my unmentionables (or lack of).

why?...
Aliyah has been asking a lot of why questions lately. This morning it was "mom, why are there windows?" I'm one of those annoying moms who replies with "why do YOU think there are windows?" She came up with all the reasons I would have given her. When I'm in a good mom frame of mind and allow myself to be present in those moments (instead of getting annoyed at the 300th why question in the span of 20 minutes), they breed precious memories.

Shayel about equestrian events "I don't think I'd like cross country, no one can see you. Oh, and you also fall a lot...
...I just want to do jumping and dressage." (the funny part was the pause between not being seen and falling...as if falling was really just an afterthought and she was more concerned about people not being able to see her lol)

those tricky 'r's
Aliyah is almost incapable of using the 'r' sound. Because of this, Little Bear and Little Bill (2 of her fav. tv shows) sound exactly the same. So we worked out a code - she growls when she says Little Bear. LOL
It makes me chuckle listening to her sometimes.Comments [2]
sometimes the Dora video game just does you in >
Aliyah (4) is playing and apparently something went wrong because all of a sudden I heard her say "oh shit". ROFLOL

Aliyah (my 4 year old) while looking through the Bible talking to an imaginary friend :
"You need to believe God, 'but I don't understand him', of course because you can't see him or understand him but the Bible is from Mary Poppins"
