Lately, Ellie has been really into playing "Snake." She climbs into our bed in the mornings and pretends we're a snake family (except she says "nake," which is pretty cute). We eat mice together and slither around under the covers into our "nake-hole."
This morning, we invented a new game: front-end loader and dump truck. Isaac and I like it better because we mostly get to lie still. Isaac is a front-end loader and I'm a dump truck, and Ellie is the driver. She climbs on us and digs imaginary holes and fills us up with gas and so on.
After we had played this new game for a while, Ellie said something which I believe sums up her age group in a nutshell: "Now I'm going to go get something to control you guys with." It was so classic I had to put it on the blog.

We spent some time helping out in a church nursery in college. There was a little boy who also said 'nake' instead of snake. We used to think it was unique, but now we can't wait until Jackson says it too!
I just spent a few minutes looking over your Blogsite, and enjoyed the pictures and stories. Brings back good memories of our family when daughters were much younger! Enjoy all the blessings, and teachable moments!
