Overheard in the house this week: September 2012

"Mom, I am going to be a farmer when I grow up.  And I am going to grow LOTS of food for people who don't have any food.  And I am going to grow LOTS of food for our family too."

~E-Bear (wearing his John Deer foam State Fair hat)

"We're going to play with soccer balls, soccer balls, soccer balls,

how about you, you, you,

you can come too, too, too, 

we're going to play with soccer balls, soccer balls, soccer balls.....

......

I had a little soccer ball,

I made it out of clay,

and when it's dry and ready,

my soccer ball I will play,

oh, soccer ball soccer ball soccer ball......

......

Time for soccer,

time for soccer,

yes it is, yes it is,

time to play soccer time to play soccer,

yes it is, yes it is....."

~G-Bear, in the car on the way to her first soccer team game,

singing along to all the Raffi songs and making up new words of her own

Me: "Buddy Bear, what does a LION say?"

Buddy Bear (whispering with mouth wide open):  "Raaaaaaaarh!"

Me: "What does a MONKEY say?"

Buddy Bear (again, mouth wide open): "Ah ah ah ah!"
