My Own Rule...

So for her birthday, a friend from her class gave her a Kid's Adventure Bible. It's pretty cool in that it takes the stories of the Bible and makes them "kid friendly" for lack of a better word. Anyway, at school they have been talking about Moses and tonight we read a story about Moses and Pharoah (sp?) and the Ten Commandments, etc... We had a long discussion about how Commandments are God's rules.

So before she went to bed, Mikayla announced she had her own rule...

MAC- I have my own rule mom (finger pointing in the air). My rule is no one is to go to Egypt because there is a bad man there (Pharaoh, again excuse me if I misspelled his name).

So, now we can not go to Egypt!

Damn It...

About 4 weeks ago, we were pulling in the parking lot of Mikayla's BAPTIST school parking lot we saw the little boy that Mikayla is going to marry...his name is Colton. Not the tallest kid in the class, but all the boys want to be his friend and all the girls want to marry him!

As I pull into a parking spot...

Me- Look there's Colton
MAC- Where? Oh... As she unbuckles her seat belt and tries to open her door (thank goodness for child locks) and the door doesn't open... then I hear "Damn It!"
Me- Mikayla Aubrey Cathcart...we don't say those words! As she looks away sheepishly...


Fast forward to this afternoon...
I finally let Mikayla wear flip flops because we just had to run a quick errand before nap time. First one flip flop flops off and she wants me to pull over to get it and put it back on...Not going to happen.

So then she grabs her second flip flop to make sure it does not fall off. As she plays with it and is waving it around it falls to the ground and what should come out of her mouth...
"Damn It!"

Day light saving what?

It's apparent that a 4 year old's body does not pay attention to DLST...

While mommy and daddy were hoping for an extra hour out of Mikayla, who should appear at my bedside at 5:30 in the morning (granted it was 6:30 in the morning according to her internal clock)??? You guessed it...Mikayla.

We even put a digital clock in her room and told her she couldn't wake up until the clock read 7:00...but she claims she was wide awake and needed to go potty. So after the bathroom I had her lie down until her clock said 7... next thing I know there's these little feet running around the house!!!

Oh, and she didn't take a nap either....*sigh*......
