conversations with Mack

Mack was playing with some of Dolly's "little" toys, which she has many of. Jeremy asked Mack is that a mighty bean? Mack says yes it's a mighty bean....... Then he says no..IT'S A MIGHTY BEAN!!!  Waving his arm high in the air like it was some grand toy that needed praise. Poppy asked is it an alien mighty bean? Mack says yes. Jeremy says Mack...... what planet are YOU from? and without a missing a beat Mack says Uranus...........

conversation with Jeremy n Jinny

It was the end of the evening on Dolly's birthday. It was a very crazy and NOISY day. Half the family left and half was still there. Jeremy and Jinny, Mack and Dolly and I were sitting in the front room. Mack and Dolly were being their usual crazy and strange selves. Sometimes you just have to shake your head and wonder why they are the way they are? Seriously, they are not all together there.
Jeremy says: You know mom, Dolly has lived with you all of her life and Mack has lived with you at least half of his life....maybe your the common denominator here.
I just looked at him with my mouth open and was at a lost for words.
Then Jinny pipes up and says: And you know Timmy isn't much better and he has lived with you most of his life too. (hes 29 going on 18)
I then began wacking her with a stuffed teddy bear.
Then I said unfortunately you could be right.
Imagine the uproar of laughter that broke out at that point :)

you can't put a horse in a present

Spent the afternoon at the ranch with Shawn. There are two puppies still looking for homes and naturally the one who is not so shy, found Dolly. It followed her every where she went much to her total happiness. She said Shawnie I want this puppy for a Christmas present.
When we got home she showed poppy the video of the puppy. She told poppy I want this puppy for a Christmas present. Poppy said I'm surprised you didn't say you wanted a horse for Christmas.

She told him, with her arms stretched out, sassy and very dignified, you can't put a horse in a present poppy..................

conversations with dolly

Nanny come here and hold my eye.
What?
Come here and hold my eye for me, I can't do this.
I go to see what in the world she is talking about and she is sitting in her little chair with a kalediscope. She is holding it up to her eye with one hand and turning it with the other and has both eyes open.
She hasn't mastered the art of closing just one eye yet.
Tell you what, how about if I turn it for you and you can hold your eye.
Okay nanny.
So she puts one hand over her eye, holds the tube with her other hand and I turn the end of it around.

Wow..... that's really pretty nanny...........cool!
