New Funnies

- Jesse discovered an "un-ladylike smell" coming from Leila's diaper, so he says, "Come here stinky skunk, let's change your bum!".
Leila runs away, turns back with a vengeance and retorts "I not 'kunk, I peh-dess! (Princess)"

-I was holding Cooper on one side of my lap and Marshall on the other and Cooper was having a rough time keeping the ear of his cow in his mouth while trying to keep his cow away from Marshall's wily hands. Cooper hopped up to go potty and left his cow under my protection, with this stipulation: "Don't let Marshall have a bite!"

-Jesse took Cooper up to the Klondike on Cedar mountain. By afternoon on Saturday most of the scout groups had left, but there were still a few groups here and there. One unlucky group walked past Jesse and company (who were thirsting for a good snowball fight), Jesse lobbed a snowball over to their feet in hope of a swift retaliation. Another in Jesse's group, seeing the opportunity, lobbed one a little harder and hit a leader in the face. He, not knowing who hit him, started yelling at Jesse:
"Hey! YOU! You hit me in the face! What are you gonna do about it?"
Jesse: "what are YOU gonna do about it?" (jesse still hoping for a snowball fight)
guy: "I'm gonna come rip your face off! I don't even KNOW you, and you're throwing snowballs at me!"
At this point Cooper pipes in and says: "I'm Cooper, and this is Jesse. Throw more snowballs Daddy!"
The guy eventually huffed and puffed and went away, but I love it that Cooper thought if he introduced himself, then the guy wouldn't be mad and they could have a good 'ol snowball fight.

-Grandma Callahan's funeral was this past week, and we went to the viewing Monday night. We didn't want the kids to be freaked out (especially Cooper) so we had a talk about spirits and bodies and heaven by showing him a glove and putting our hand in the glove and then taking it out and putting the glove in a box and closing the lid like a coffin. So we go to the viewing and all Cooper wants to do is close the lid to grandma's coffin, just like we did with the glove in the box. Anyway, the sweetest part was Leila who didn't understand any of the glove and hand bit, but walks wide eyed up to the coffin and says "Seepin'" and points.
Yes baby, she's sleeping, and one beautiful day she will wake up :)
